Thank God for Clariton and horses

Sundays wind had blown the allergens away, I skipped taking anything monday and did not miss it. Thought I could skip again on Tuesday. Nope, but I took the 4 hr OTC sudafed and was mostly OK, but ended up caught up in some things at work and stayed late so I felt too tired to ride on Wednesday; but I did make sure to take the store brand Clariton equivalent. Today I actually felt human enough to take a short ride on Sadie.

She was pretty good but she has decided a junk collection spot on the trail where people dumped some new junk last week including floppy cardboard is SKEERY. She was being silly, doing 180's and taking evasive action and I got nervous she was going to stray into some downed wire farting around so I got off and led her past the spot on the way out and rode her around the spot before she got squirrely coming back. I probably should not do route changes but I don't think I'm reinforcing her goofiness too much.

I so would like to a have a real Galt's gulch in existence. I'd never qualify for recruiting to live there full time, but I hope I'd be one of the working resistance, taking only mindless jobs but refusing to give my mental energies to a system set up to reward stupidity and laziness with lots of upside down logic of proclaiming dreck to be high art and berating success as rape of Gaia, or unfair to countries with crap governments etc etc, then spending my vacations with the really smart vibrant people who had decided to go on strike rather than serve a society plunging itself towards full on socialism to refresh myself.

OTOH I believe that in the absence; the best one can do is try to promote classical liberal thinking. The British empire seems to have had core values from the best of the Greek and Roman systems, probably those core values were passed down through generations and shared with folks who could appreciate them until the ideas could bloom again. If you are the only one striking, that is not a strike, its just quitting.
