A better view of the tree, before and after yesterday's storm. The branches and limbs that were blown down were all over the road.

I went to the pharmacy this morning and finally picked up the pain prescription for my dental work, which was one bottle of hydrocodone/acetaminophen and one bottle of amoxicillin. I took one of each a while ago. We'll see how things go.

It's almost the end of the month and I still haven't posted a video. Surely, there must be a way to fix that. I'll give it some serious thought.

My weather station recorded exactly 6 inches of rain from the hurricane yesterday. The front yard got a bit flooded after I finished the video yesterday, but it receded before it reached the front door. A section of the road down the street was flooded and made unaware drivers throw up lots of water when they hit it. There wasn't really any damage to speak of, though.

When I was a baby, I almost died from a fever. Every once in a while, I find myself thinking about that. I'm extremely glad I survived, for all of the obvious, humane reasons. If I hadn't, it would've been completely devastating to others.
As a realist, I recognize and accept the finality of death. Losing someone you love isn't something that I'd wish upon anyone, but no one lives forever and it happens. It can happen at any time. In my experience, it's best to expect it and move on. While it's still sad when it does happen, expecting it beforehand can lessen the emotional wallop considerably.
Recently, there has been a spike in the number of teens and young adults in the US who have committed suicide. If you happen to be one who's considering it, don't fucking do it. It won't be a release, like you probably think. It'll just be ending your existence. Period. Time heals all wounds, no matter how deep those wounds might be. You've got your whole life ahead of you and things *will* get better. You just have to let them. Don't emotionally devastate those who love you by being incredibly selfish and taking the easy way out.
I love life, both the highs and the lows and everything between. From happiness to despair, from anger to tolerance, it's all part of being alive and I wouldn't give it up for anything.

I've never had kids. I've never wanted any. The idea of settling down and raising a family has always been unappealing to me. I'm a private person and I've always preferred being alone and living a solitary life. In a society which seems to focus a lot on lifelong togetherness, that might be difficult for some people to understand. It's expected that everyone, eventually, will find someone to care for and will start a family with them. Believe it or not, there are people who simply have no interest in doing that. It's not because they're not mature enough to accept the responsibilities that come with family life or anything like that. In a lot of cases, it's just because the interest in the direction of their life doesn't take them down that path.
As a person gets older and begins to approach the last stage of their life, they might come to regret following their chosen path. They might begin to wonder what a child of theirs would've been like as an adult, if they had had one. They might begin to feel a nagging, hollow, aching need for the lost relationship they never had. They might encounter a young person who they come to respect because they're doing something at a young age that they never did and think to themself, "This might have been my son."
In the end, choices matter. If you choose to take your life down a certain path, make sure it's the right one. You could find yourself on an isolated beach, staring at a dimming sunset over the darkening ocean, an ocean filled with forgotten photographs of the lost children that you never had.

I dislike personal drama with a passion. All it does is make people upset, angry and suspicious. It also tends to turn people against each other. It's better to confront rumors and innuendoes head-on, so that they can quickly be dealt with and not be allowed to fester.
This is difficult to do sometimes. Once a statement about a person or thing is made, especially by an authority figure, the public generally accepts it as true, barring available evidence to the contrary. If the statement is untrue and involves a person, it almost seems better to the accused person to just let sleeping dogs lie and hope that the idea that was introduced fades over time and that, eventually, things return to normal. The problem with that is there will, most likely, always be a certain amount of stigma, no matter how much time passes. No one, guilty or innocent, should have to live with that for the rest of their life.
The person who made the statement might be the nicest person in the world and would never intentionally make a false claim about someone. To them, the claim might seem completely justified and true. They might just not be familiar with certain aspects of the situation and are making the judgment based on what they are familiar with, which might be insufficient for them to arrive at an understanding which requires all of the information, not just personal experience.

I'll try to make another video on my next day off. I either haven't had time or haven't felt like making one. A personal rule is to make, at least, two a month. I just wish I had the time and energy to make more, but I'm not as young as I used to be.

So, I just deleted a bunch of old pending comments that I have no idea if I've already approved, because YouTube didn't show them to me until a day or two ago. I tried reviewing them, but it was a never-ending stream, going back several months and even over a year. There were just too many of them. I'm thinking it was just a glitch with YouTube's comment system, which happens sometimes. Sorry if your comment got deleted in the process.
