The sumup is here.

O Adonai and leader of Israel, you appeared to Moses in a burning bush and you gave him the Law on Sinai. O come and save us with your mighty power.

Warning. Religious posts ahead. It is that time of year, after all.

I’ve allowed myself to slide behind, and some of these posts will be late, meaning the relevant date has already passed. Still, it’s the spirit and thought that count, or that at least directs me in a more favorable direction, so I’m going to write these posts anyway.

I’ve wanted to write about this for some time, but it’s far enough down my list and there simply isn’t time. I’m more galvinized by the developments at Delphi, and I’m pretty sure they’re less accounted for on the Blogosphere.

– YESTERDAY – Typically, Tuesday is a “business” day… that is, I finish work at 2 PM, so I’m able to spend the afternoon catching up on homework, cleaning, and anything else I’m neglected Monday through Wednesday (when I’m out from 8 AM ’til midnight).

– Yesterday, I worked through the day, then dozed and read between work and class. At class we discussed The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald and several others read from the homework featuring different POVs. The I stopped at Spain for awhile, and headed home.

As it turns out, the official City of Flint website lifted their Quick Facts page directly from a draft of the Wikipedia article, particularly the part I wrote my self. The code is open, so I have no objection to the usage, but it’s ironic that the description is not limited to positive reportage, and that they didn’t take the extra step of factchecking the article.

The run down is here.

Update #5 is:
The Flint Journal: Angry workers map out moves.
The Flint Journal: 350 attend UAW rally.

Not much to say… just watch and wait and see if this tropical depression becomes a hurricane.

– Yesterday, I worked until 4 AM, then went to sleep for four hours.

PICTURE OF THE DAY
A prehistoric rendering of intergalactic travel? Nope, it’s just a stromatolite.

QUESTION OF THE DAY
Do you believe in UFOs? Either way, shore up your opinion.

– DREAMS – I had strange dreams last night. This might be because I just got three decent night sleeps in a row. Can’t remember the last time that’s happened.
– I’m eight days from being finished with the semester.

The army simmers in the December steam. It will coalesce in the cities, coming out of front porches and down the side streets to converge in civic centers and central business districts before marching out along the most important roads.
