My post was short last night because I was tired, tired of repeating myself, and just plain tired. I got up early yesterday to make bread and I was planning to get up even earlier today for opening day of deer season. I can get up early if I have a reason to, but I certainly wouldn't get up early just to read the newspaper. I prefer to do that in the evening while drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. I seldom go online until after supper, so anything I read on my news app is old news to Uncle Ken. On the other hand, anything he reads at 5:00 AM might be old news by the time I read about it, and the situation might have changed by then. For instance, he keeps insisting that this Caravan thing is no big deal, but the articles I have read suggest that it's a big deal indeed. I haven't posted all of them, but here's another one that is new to me, although I can't say that it surprises me:

I have heard of Aljazeera, but I have never read any of it, just as I never read the Russian newspapers during the Cold War era. It's not that I'm afraid to be exposed to alien propaganda, it's just that there are only so many hours in a day, and I would rather spend them doing something that interests me. Our local paper doesn't have much in the way of real news, it's mostly school sports and social crap, but they do print a few news articles and one decent opinion page. If I want more information, I can always get it on line. I am not exactly a news junkie, but I pay more attention to it now than I ever did, mostly due to the influence of my esteemed colleagues at the Beaglesonian Institute.
I didn't see any deer today and my trail camera only captured one poor image in three days, but there are tracks all over the place and the season is young.
