California
…is now a Third World country.
Yes, it’s insane. We’ve weathered the weather pretty well. Sunday was miserable hot even at the beach; it hit the mid nineties in the middle of the afternoon, and it was too hot to work in the yard. Fortunately, sea breeze started to cool things down, and the temperature had dropped considerably by early evening. We haven’t had any problem sleeping. I’m hoping that the worst is over, but September is the worst month here. I vastly prefer winter in southern California.
The Lockdowns
Were they a mistake?
Yes, certainly, at least in terms of the duration. I think that future historians will think them one of the biggest policy blunders in human history.
Modular Nukes
One has been approved by the NRC.
It’s a safer design than the traditional reactors, but I’d still like to see more innovative ones. But even this will beat the hell out of “renewables.”
The Virus
…has accelerated existing societal and technological trends.
Yes, I’ve been noting that for a while.

Your Vote
Bob Zimmerman says don’t just vote for Trump, vote against Democrats up and down the board.

Kenosha
To stop it, Democrats have to stop infantilizing black people.
They’re the true racists.
Your Old Life
No, you can’t have it back.
