It is a pleasure to find something on the Internet worth reading. It isn't news that brings joy to your soul, but it has substance. The mindless parade of dribble marches relentlessly across the front page of Yahoo News with no end in sight:

Dec 23, 2022 Press Release:
Washington - The January 6th Select Committee has completed their investigation into the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Final Report

This document is a masterpiece of scholarship. You can cry "foul" , "fraud", "fake news", etc. and it doesn't change the workmanship of this Report. This document will stand the test of time. The present danger to the Republic is not the possibility that an ex-President will be brought to justice, chained, and tossed into a rat hole to rot and die. The present danger is that he won't.


It is good to have the iPad in operation again. I can enjoy logging onto the Internet and listening to podcasts, music, YouTube, reading documents, reading financial news, etc. I still have to come here to the library to work on Time to Blog! That is OK. I could do it on the iPad, but it is clunky compared to working on this laptop.

Things are coming along. My credit card debt is ZERO. It has a long time coming and it is something that needs to stay put. I don't need to buy things with it. In case of an emergency, I have it. Now to wipe what is left of the loan I took out to buy crypto. The two trillion dollar meltdown cost me a year of working for nothing. Nothing is a relative term. I am getting something out of paying it off. Once I am debt free, Uncle Sam pays for my apartment and enough food to keep me going. To be comfortable, I need $300.00 a month more than what Social Security is paying me. It is going to be my responsibility to create an income stream to cover the shortfall. I could get a part time job doing something that isn't too stressful. One thing is certain. I can walk away from working full time at the casino. This is a lot more that just something. It is everything.

That about wraps it up. I am just going to stay low and pretend I don't care. This is how I will survive the time I have left punching a time card at this toilet I am working in.


December 8, 2021 was the one year anniversary of the Canfield Hotel fire. I lost the majority of my personal belongings. This loss was not a direct result of the fire. The fire was on the fourth floor. I lived in a room on the fifth floor. The floor was ravaged by heat and smoke. There was considerable damage done to the floor because of the smoke damage. The owner of the Hotel saw this as an opportunity to unilaterally declare the floor 'condemned' and he tried to convince me and others that we could not go back to our rooms and gather our personal belongings. I didn't buy this charade. I demanded that I be allowed access to my room so I could salvage the things in there that had a modicum of value. With the help of a few friends, they provided me with the wheels I needed to load up the things I needed to, and get the hell out of there.

I lost all my clothing. This was due to my leaving it behind. The Hotel had become infested with bed bugs. I had been fighting them off in a futile battle, believing it was possible to eradicate them. I had succeeded in killing off the ones in my room and I even had taken measures to keep them from returning. It wasn't till I saw a couple of these parasitic blood suckers crawling across my living room floor did I realize I could not beat them. They were marching in from the outside hallway and coming in right under my front door, leaving other rooms on the floor looking for fresh hunting grounds. It made sense why the housekeepers were vacuuming the hallways day and night. They did not want people living there or customers getting rooms for the night knowing bed bugs had taken over. I decided right there and then to get the hell out of this shit hole. I was going to wait till winter was over. In the meantime, I was planning on putting money away to make the move and to use the time to find a place that my Uncle Sam check could pay for. I did leave other things behind that could have been useful, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be replaced. It was a financial inconvenience. Getting tossed out into the street put me back $3,000.

Here I am a year later. I do have a place that my Social Security check can cover for the time being. Inflation is a wild card I can not account for in my calculations of monthly expenses. For now things are good even with this outrageous cost of living battle we all are facing. I am working full time. My ridiculous credit card debt is paid. I still have to pay back a personal loan I took out. I used the money to invest in crypto. I lost $15,000. I still owe $9,500. Once that is paid, I can bank roll my full time income and save up the nest egg I need to walk away from the casino business. The time I have in front of me is less than than the time behind. I have more important things to accomplish. I can't work full time and do these things. Others can but I am limited in what I can do. I had hoped that a quick strike in the crypto market could have produced this nest egg and I could walk away from my full time job. It was an act of desperation. This is how disgusted I am at the prospect of working in this industry that preys on people. The upper management is enamored with the casino. They think it is the greatest business that has ever been invented. "They print money!" This is their mantra. This is proof as to the greatness of the business, and to a larger degree, their own. This money is printed with blood.

This is a partial explanation to why the casino business became a career.

I was looking at the Perl programming language. I remembered I had signed up as a member to a site called "Perl Mongers." It was a geek site for lovers of Perl. It has all sorts of materials and programming tips. It's cool. I looked at the date I signed up. It was nine years ago. I never did anything with Perl. If I had dedicated myself to learning it, I might have been able to make something happen. I didn't. On the one hand I am disappointed in myself and on the other hand, I'm not. The IT workplace and marketplace is not the dream job I imagined. I never was able to get my foot in the door because I did not have a college degree in computer science. I didn't know ten different program languages to get an entry level position. That is what the qualifications looked like years ago. I don't think they are much better. This industry picks and chooses who they want in it. Skill is secondary. I used my self taught computer skills to get my current job working in the Surveillance Department at the casino. I transferred from the Table Games Department.

I thought this job could be the next best thing to working in Information Technology. I am working with computers and proprietary software programs. It isn't programming. It isn't really even something I would call "I.T." It gave me the opportunity to walk away from the tables. That is a plus. It pays OK. It is relatively a secure position because as long as the casino doors are open, they need two bodies up in the control room at all times. It took them a year to get this Department fully staffed. Nobody wants this job. This is the story of my life. I worked jobs nobody wanted because no one wanted to hire me. I went into the casino business because it paid well and no one wants to deal cards to degenerate scum.

One more year. I have come a long way since the fire. I still have a long way to go. I have faced greater challenges and survivied. I will make it.

Sam Brinton

Non-Binary Biden Official Charged with Second Felony Suitcase Theft ... Jewelry Worth $1,700 in Second Luggage.

This is important so I am adding it on to the days post. I was going to wait till tomorrow but decided against it. This guy is smarter than he looks. If you are going to steal things, you steal top quality merchandise. I will give him credit for that. This article is good. It isn't white washing the fact that this person is a thief. I am inclined to think that members of the LGBTQ community think they are a privileged class. They got Papa Joe kissing their asses so they can do what ever they want.

In August it was revealed that the Sam Brinton Trevor Project was a breeding ground for perverse sexual content. Isn't that a surprise? This twisted pervert will use the same excuse that Ezra Miller is using, "having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues." What else is new? When was the last time you looked in a mirror?


Back at the library. I have not fixed my iPad and I know this task is long overdue. I'll get to it one of these days. I do not have the transportation to get to the geek shop. I know how to fix it. I am not getting any cooperation from people I know that have told me I could use their Mac laptop. They have the same mindset I have. They will get to it one of these days.

The front page of Yahoo is so saturated with mindless crap it has become impossible to even stomach. I can not read the news from this portal. Clicking on the Google news application takes me to a similar wasteland. These places are a meeting ground for the mentally challenged. Reality is too stark to bear so they need to fill their immediate thoughts with social media hype. It is more important to know that Britney Spears is channeling a mermaid demon than to contemplate the consequences of letting a spoiled brat and bully threaten democracy.

Brittney Griner released by Russia in 1-for-1 prisoner swap for arms dealer Viktor Bout.

I am glad to be proven wrong. I really thought the odds of her coming back to the United States alive were slim to none. Looking back on it, it makes sense that her release was put on the front burner. It is great public relations. She is a high profile individual. Her coming home makes Papa Joe look like a real statesman. Retired U.S. Marine Paul Whelan is not a high profile individual. He will rot while Griner enjoys the ticker tape. I can't help but wonder if the fact that Russia is running out of weapons didn't help speed this exchange. It didn't hurt. My comments here are not meant to be sarcastic. I am looking at the circumstances and the facts. That doesn't change my feelings. I am glad she is coming home. She got railroaded for political reasons. People who were supposed to be watching her back were negligent in their duties. She never should have been caught up in this shit storm in the first place.


I can not believe it is December already. The year has quickly past and all I have to show for it is three less molars. I am getting old. The gravity of it has not been readily apparent, till recently. I still have time.
