Tempest in a Teacup

I feel like shit. I am so sick - it's the same crud I got when I first got down here. Headache, stuffy head, horrible things in my sinuses, sneezing and coughing. Left to its own devices, it will lead to bronchitis, so I have to fight it like crazy.

It's because of my poor adaptation to air conditioning. The most effective treatment besides drugs is to get out of controlled environments. In South Florida, this means waiting until sundown so I can go outside.

I have to thank someone for another spike in my counter, and also for all the phone calls and emails asking where my porn is. Regular readers will remember that there is no porn on my site, though longtime readers will remember that I do have a link to some tasteful nudes posted in an entry pretty far back in time.

People seldom understand that spreading disinformation only works as long as nobody catches on. When they do (and they inevitably do), you either look like an enormous liar, or incredibly stupid. You look petty and childish in any case.

Of course, if nobody likes you anyway, what have you got to lose?

Still, any publicity is good publicity. People prefer a good snarkfest over dull boring observations anyway. And that's where the inner battle is. Part of me is saying that it would be really good for my site if I spilled all the details of the pathetic one-person attempt to discredit and harass me. After all, even though I am not at all harmed by the tempest in a teacup, the ridiculousness of the whole story would make truly great press.

It's a story that begs to be told.

The other part of me is saying that doing so would be petty and childish, and it would embroil me in a conflict that would become tiresome and annoying in very short order. I'd have to pull out and post the information and evidence about all the cheating and the lying and the fraud that my would-be attacker engages in. I'd become responsible for that stuff, being the only person to point at the emperor and declare him naked. Sounds like a big hassle, especially for such a small and defenseless target.

I don't like to use my big guns until I have to.

The people who were suing me over the auto accident are still trying. They are demanding far more than my (former) insurance will pony up. Don't people look into the financial status of the people they sue before proceeding? Anybody with two brain cells to rub together would see that I am broke. I'm even broker now than I was when they filed suit, and that was pretty freakin broke. I cannot believe they are actually paying a lawyer to sue somebody with no money.

I was feeling pretty down the other night, so the Cherub took Napalm and me to the airport. There's an observation point buried deep in the grounds next to one of the runways. It's a little parking lot with a speaker so that you can hear the tower. It was nice to lie atop the roof of the van and watch the planes come in, verbally prodded by the air traffic controller.

Boy does my writing suck. I am so out of practice.
