Cables, Coffee, Cycles, and Cocktails

In the meantime let's have a little philosopher's song:

 

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel.

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist,
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away,
Half a crate of whiskey every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbes was fond of his dram.

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart,
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

Agreed, except if you take it from the emotional side of life it makes sense and maybe helps some. From a physical standpoint.... the rest of your statement stands 🧐                                                                Got my flu & pneumonia shots yesterday after lunchtime. I was wiped out and laying down at 7:00 pm. Shoulders still hurt but they'll get better soon.

 

Got my flu shot too a couple of weeks back. Tylenol or a hot shower will help and beats dying while gasping like a fish out of water.

 

Got to keep up the herd's immunity! 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Mornin' All

Have fresh made coffee this AM. A little fresh out.

   Some JeffBeck on. Can't do that when she's here....  she would be trying to sleep

Wife called. She's having a good time. I can't say I'm not enjoying her absence, though I am seeming to miss the antagonism.

Lance Armstrong's defence against sore throat or minor cold, possibly due to overtraining, was to gargle Listerine, then take a good two-hour nap.  I find that is a definite help for me.  I usually find that a nap is good, anyway.

I embrace taking a nap.

kinda half keeping an eye on the phone, won't hear it.  Unless it interrupts a quiet passage.

I'm running the vacuum, too. Trying to catch up with domestics.  House has been upside down for 2 weeks. Wife was home the week previous to her trip to IL. And she was home for "Founders/Colombus" Day of whatever it's called now.... Worked Tue and Weds.
