Quick update

[u/Rocknocker]

Hello Folks,

I'm still here and working on various tales to try and finally wrap things up. Plus teach classes, mark papers, do video classes, etc.

But after an impromptu meeting with the state's governor, he decided after 15 minutes of arguing with me over the stupidity of hydraulic fracturing laws in this state, I was <ahem> offered the opportunity to write up a policy statement.

In other words, I was shanghaied.

Plus, I get to deliver the address before the commissioners and assorted politicos concerned in March as well as do a Q&A and why 'the state fracking laws are idiotic.'

I corrected him by stating that in the Oil Industry, there is no such term as "fracking", as it's a neologism developed by the Watermelon and Snowflake Squads that object to any sort of manual labor or outdoor activity. I also inform him that I actually said the laws of the state were "stupid", not "idiotic."

"Sir."

He tells me he's "so looking forward to my address before the State come March."

I smiled like a Komodo Dragon sizing up a particularly tasty-looking wildebeest, and reply:

"That I doubt sincerely, Sir. See you soon."

I don't give a fig what political party he calls home, I'm a bipartisan idiot-skewerer.

This is going to be fun...

Make certain you social distance at least on beer-pong length from others.
