The Heysi Missive

A few thoughts.

1) Thanks Steven @heysi for using your inner Jedi to keep the peace. You did a great thing stepping up and getting a nonviolent outcome out of the situation.

2) Mental health issues are real and pose a threat to the people who suffer and those around them, yet these services are often something that goes quickly from any municipal budget leaving ordinary people and (especially) law enforcement officers to deal with them. This is at best unfair to everyone involved and at worst fatal to the public or the sufferer.

3) What the heck! To the dude who almost gets kicked then goes right back to being on his phone! Wouldn’t you want to keep your head up and have a little situational awareness!?! I mean come on man; if that chair catches you unawares that second time, that’s a little on you dude.

Thank you Eric for also pointing out that the man appears to have mental health issues and that we should invest in helping our fellow man. Obviously this situation was putting people at risk so it was not the time and place to intervene, but we need more of our first responders professionals with expertise i. This area to be able to get folks like this the help the need.
 
My BIL & SIL live in the suburbs there somewhere a short ways off 15. They lead normal lives, and you're more likely to find them at home in the evenings and nights, than you are out in town.

It turns out most of us don't live on the Strip or in a casino. I'm normally in bed by 11:30 pm....but when friends come to town...... IT'S PARTY TIME!!!!

That's how my BIL & SIL are. They are more than happy to show people the sights, casinos, buffets, etc., but don't make a habit of visiting them very often on their own.
 
This week has turned out to be fun and exciting (sarcasm font engaged). The wife has an ear infection, a slight cold, a sore throat, and a touch of bronchitis. Add in the pulled muscle in her shoulder from the cough (yes...she coughed that hard) and she's a very grumpy camper. She originally went to the doctor earlier this week for some regular blood work and mentioned that she was feeling under the weather and they diagnosed her with the above list of ailments. So now she's on a course of anti-biotics that is kicking her ass.

On top of all that....I'm in the middle of doing stuff around the house to make it more "appealing" to the appraiser. We got the same appraiser with the last people that wanted to buy our house and she nit-picked things like she was a home inspector (not the same level of critical eye) and since we drew her a second time, I have to go around and fix up things that she highlighted the last time. And its not anything major....its little, piddly things. In some cases, its stuff that the people we're in contract with have said they're going to remodel or replace. But here I am, contributing to the economy and spending a few hours each evening doing completely meaningless things (I am learning how to patch nicks and dings in drywall to the exact same pattern....so not a complete loss).

On better news fronts, I bought myself tickets to go to Depeche Mode later this year. It will be the 3rd time I've seen them and I can't wait.

Shave journal:

Still chugging along with the Williams Ultra Minimalist 3017 Challenge (or whatever @Spider called it). No prep, no fuss, no muss. Just a swipe of the puck across my face and then a couple of drops of water on my hand so I can do a hand lather to each area before getting a nice, slick shave.

Today I decided to add a bit of Aqua Di Gio to my post shave and since its friday....I smell nice (not as nice as @GearNoir or @Scuttlesoap ...but I'm trying).

See ya Later!
 
So sorry about your better half - that must suck - it’s bad enough having a horrible cough - but having to deal with the pain of a pulled muscle while coughing - ouch!
Here’s hoping she gets better quickly.

Awesome deal with the Depeche Mode!
 
Sorry to hear the missus isn’t feeling well.

Doing the puddly things to spruce things up a bit superficially is definitely a PITA, but if it nets you a few more k, you’ll be happier in the long run!
 
My house was bought 'as is', so any other things the home inspector failed to detect are on me. i did manage to get a contribution to a new water heater, as that's vital in a Texas summer. Pretty sure it's a bucket in the sun. Heat exchanger.

The phrase "as is" seems to have alluded this particular assessor. I may have to be removed from the premises when she's here next week.
