Things are getting pretty ridiculous. That being said this itemized list is presented in no particular order:
  • Health improvement concerns continue
    • After losing roughly 23 kilos or so it appears that another 14 or so kilos need to be lost to get to the highest end of the “healthy” range per BMI. Getting my BMI down to at least 24.9 would be a nice achievement, I think. Right now I am sitting around 29.
    • This morning’s weigh-in was at roughly 86 kilograms if I did the conversion right.
    • A max healthy weight would be 73 kilograms or so. I wouldn’t be “beach body perfect” but I would be considered “healthy”. Somewhere like 68 kilos would be better but probably unrealistic considering other countervailing health considerations.
  • Campaigning moves slowly. The Democrats are doing absolutely nothing that is openly visible thus far. In that instance there really is nothing for me to do other than observe their actions and conduct further research on the constituency. Everything I find is pretty scary as it is.
    • Even though I am purportedly running as a “Republican” the county party is currently tying itself in knots with unnecessary drama to the point of trying to get the county board of elections placed under direct command of the Ohio Secretary of State. Am I going to be getting any support from the party at the moment in trying to run? It seems as if I am on my own.
    • Campaign literature honestly may take the form of mailing comic books to everybody on the registered voter list at some point. During a recent city council committee meeting the elected chief executive talked about how the populace here is very “visual”. Words won’t matter. Putting pictures in front them while telling a story would. Something feels sad about taking that approach.
  • If we end up getting EIP3 it would likely join EIP2 in the savings account. Once some Treasury bills mature at the end of March plus something else in play there would be capital available to try something. Whatever that may be is an open question, though.
  • The auto-newspaper development on Launchpad is stalled for the moment. For the most part I think I have the guts of layout worked out. I need to either figure out procuring a small printing press or I need to contact local printers to see about contracting out printing. Our local daily newspaper continues to deteriorate in terms of its functional quality. There needs to be something rather than the next-to-nothing that we’re getting.
  • I need to stop falling asleep at my keyboard.
  • I have been looking at realty sites about moving to Nevada once again. If I lose the election there really, really won’t be much reason to stick around in northeast Ohio. If I had an offer from somewhere to do something there then of course I would likely take it at this point.
  • The third story is now over the nine thousand word mark. I am still not happy with it. It will eventually be making its way onto Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing.
