Baby cake

[bill_schubert]

Pictures to follow but I'm going to attempt my first scratch Yellow cake with scratch Chocolate icing today.  Got my six inch pan all ready and am waiting for the butter (total one an a half sticks for cake and icing!), egg and butter milk to warm to room temperature.  

Just another exciting day here in Leander.

Other than that I'm reading Red Mars having just started it this morning.  I don't quite have my hooks in it yet, or vice versa, but other than an hour or two on the gig training (learn you Forms!) I'll be reading.

I've given up worrying about if/when we'll get vaccines in Texas.  Dana and I are signed up with the county and with our local medical system so one day when the wagon trains finally get to the state capitol we'll be notified.  It doesn't matter too much but it would be nice to have some immunity in addition to being careful.  

I had to go to Lowes yesterday and was looking at a metal saw and listening to the two employees behind me discussing how even the socialist government in Australia was talking about how bad Biden's executive orders were for gun owners and wasn't it weird how every picture of Biden had black eyes?  I walked away before they started talking about Hillary's face off or the chem trails.  

Maybe it is OK if we don't get the vaccine here.  If I've ever seen a gene pool that could use some cleaning ......

I just got into an argument with my sister who is in Pflugerville earlier today over the phone. She was livid about Biden's executive orders regarding the Keystone Pipeline and the fact he's made so many in his first week. I told her he had to because so much damage had been done in the past four years. Evidently, I'm a raving liberal. I thanked her for the compliment and then did a deep dive on the pipeline and the claims about jobs lost. My brother's business is reliant on the oil and gas industry, so I guess that means no one down in Texas in my family is capable of holding a reasonable conversation with me right now because I see things differently. :(

I understand people whose livelihood depend on fossil fuel being protective about the industry. Food on the table. At least they have an ante in the game. I grew up in North Carolina and saw what happened with the tobacco farmers. Things change and people can either resist or flow. I'm of the opinion that change creates opportunity but understand those who think change is categorically bad. I think it is ridiculously short sighted and selfish but I understand.

Tough when it is familly.

Thanks, Bill ... I've been trying to convince my brother to look at change as an opportunity, but he's stubborn ... I hope he evolves and grows ... I've seen a refusal to change/evolve in other members of my family to their detriment.

Can’t they hear how ridiculous they sound? I guess not
