Power and Connectivity

 Hard rain here in northern Virginia.  Blue State headquarters of the United States.  I was lucky my power went out a month ago and alerted me to the fact that I needed to upgrade my switch.  I got it done and I'm happy with the job and the job is paid for in cash.  Dave Ramsey style.  Nothin' like having that Grandma's rainy day fund.

So tonight it was raining and thundering and lightening like there was gonna be no tomorrow.  And sure enough lights in the house start to flicker.  Let me tell you I felt good having that newly and professionally installed breaker switch and whole house surge protector paid for in cash.  Great feeling.  Lights and power are still on.  Verizon Fios internet connnection $77.71 per month dropped out and I had to reconnect.  At least they came right back up.

So that's the importance of power and connectivity in today's business world.  If I think I can't operate without power and connectivity just think how all of these big companies feel.  Power and connectivity have become the most critical components in today's world.  Right up there with food and shelter.  If you got food, shelter, power and connectivity you've got it made in the shade.

I pray for those less privileged in this world.  I need to send some money into the church.  Thank you Lord for all of my blessings.  Great to be able to listen to Pastor Murray at night.   Right now we're going through the minor prophets.  Jonah is mentioned by Jesus in the New Testament and he also spent three days and three nights in the belly of the beast.

Only twenty years to go before I collect social security.  If I can hang on to the job then I"ll be able to double dip.  My objective is to live on as little as I possibly can and only eat one meal per day.  I got up to 305 heaviest I've ever been.  Trying to do one meal a day fasting program.  Down to 181 yesterday back up to 182 this morning.  Did pretty good on the diet plan today.  Probably drinking to much V8 strawberry banana juice.  At least is supposed to be just fruit juice.  Can't be that bad health-wise but definitely slows down the progress.

Dave Ramsey plan still in tact.  And maintaining same baby step 1 lifestyle all the way to the end.  Beans and rice, rice and beans.  I guess America is still here.  Waylon's gone but America is still here.  Twenty years and then I'll be old.  I don't mind being an old man who gets paid to sit around and read and study and work on network issues.  I've got only a very small percentage of my net worth in crypto.  And that small percentage is split between individual stocks at Fidelity and cypto split between Coinbase and Gemini.

I'm going to study more about Cardano.  I relly like Kever on Cardano.  Old Kever is doing exactly what I had envisioned doing on my television news program.  He does quite a production on his videos.  Good job Kever!

The Life Preparatory School for Boys

King Randall, I. may read this.  And I guess I must say that King Randall, I. is the reason that I am writing this first post on this new blog that I haven't written on in some time. The thought of a small, local, grassroots, real, true, school of opportunity for underprivileged kids.  Or as he calls it, a life preparatory school for boys.  Certainly the concept goes back as far as man himself, all the way back to Adam and Noah and Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all of the twelve tribes.  Solidifying in the new country of America in the early 1700's on through the Revolutionary War and the Civil War and World War I and World War II and Korea and Viet Nam and Iraq and now on to the Twitter War of Twenty Three. All gave some.  Some gave all. They say General Lee was a brilliant defensive mind and that's what won him the war.  Well the story goes that it was a bunch of white people in the south that liked to keep black people as slaves, against a bunch of white people in the

The Global Village

I would say step one would be to find a place to host all of my computer operations and then move towards a one hundred percent online business.  The most critical aspect being file backup as your files basically now are your money and your money is what you want to pass on to your heirs.  If you have been a good steward of your money, you will have some money to pass on to your heirs. Now how much money you pass on probably really doesn't matter.  That's why I like Dave Ramsey.  He gets down on the level of the average person. He talks to people who have lots of credit card debt and very little income.  Those are the salt of the earth people and the backbone of this country.  And actually the backbone of this entire world.  Good folks who want to make an honest living.  Good law abiding folks who don't mind putting in a good solid forty hour work week for a reasonable living wage.  And the better the wage for working the better for the country and subsequently the better f

The Last Will and Testament of Doug Kenline

Kind of morbid but feels good to think I'm getting my affairs in order so I can go fishing and not have to worry about anything.  Will see if I only get one profile picture and that one picture gets suck on every blog I have under this userid and password. Day 2 (thelastwillandtestamentofdougkenline.blogspot.com)
