47 Percent

Most of the time, honestly, my preference is to not get into politics here on R&K. That’s what Facebook is for. And my original intent, a couple days ago, was to write this post about the everyday stuff that’s been happening around here – new clients, weekend trips, maybe a bit about church politics, that sort of thing. Maybe a fanboy ramble about the recent release, after eight long years, of Black Mesa, the fan-built Half Life remake. (Which is absolutely amazing, by the way, so go download it.)

And then the Republican presidential candidate has a “McCain Suspending Campaign To Posture On Economics” moment, after a video surfaces of him deriding a full half of the U.S. population as unrepentant Democratic losers determined to bleed the Republican winners dry.

Wow. Just wow.

Faith’s an interesting animal. It can lead you to do some pretty stupid things, can inspire you to accomplish some pretty amazing things, and just get you through some pretty crappy things. Some believe it moves mountains. Others argue that it only really distracts, deludes and makes money for the dishonest. I dunno – when people manage to ship the equivalent of a Buick through 352 million miles of bitter cold, radioactive emptiness to perfectly land, via rocket-powered hovering skycrane, exactly when, where and how they planned with spectacular precision, I think it’s fair not to shitcan the faith concept altogether.

But then you got morons who walk on fire and get themselves burnt. And who later, while suffering serious burns, insist that their failure was that they weren’t in “peak state”. I’m sure basic thermodynamics played a role as well, but whatever.

Obviously one breed of faith gets better results than the other.

Whoops

So the month of July just sort of whipped right past us here at R&K.  Not quite sure how that happened but it is what it is.

We celebrated our 4th anniversary at the beginning of the month without much fanfare.  We drove over to Monterey and had dinner at our favorite restaurant on the wharf.  Not totally thrilling but it was a needed break.

We just returned from a 10 day break at the coast with my family.  We did this same trip 2 years ago and decided to give it another go.  We left a few days earlier than everyone else and stayed in Monterey at The Seven Gables Inn for 2 nights.  Truly gorgeous and the weather was awesome.  And then it was off to Ventura for a week.

3 beach houses.. 23 people.. sun, good food, laughter, lots of games.  I’ll write more in depth later when I’m a bit more focused.

We arrived home on Friday afternoon.  The pets were glad to see us and we took our time settling back in.  Today we celebrated birthdays and our air conditioner decided to give up the ghost.  98F outside, 86F inside, 25% humidity.  Gah!  It’s fixed and sorted now but we were miserable for several hours.
