It's Wednesday. (but feels like Thursday.)

I have to say, for all my doubts and for all his faults, I was much more likely to watch Olbermann than Mathews or O'Donnell. And if I watched Olbermann, I was much more likely to watch Maddow.

Just saying...

Tried watching the second episode of The Cape and it was unwatchable....

Off to a rip-roaring reading start for the year. I'll have read at least 8 books, depending. (I'll try to do reviews at the end of the month...)

It pulls me away from the T.V., which is a good thing.

I have to say, my comic sales are surprisingly strong, considering how weak my subscription shelves are. I was always in fear that without my subs, the comic sales would die off. But that doesn't seem to be happening.

I also make 20% more profits from comics purchased from the display racks.

Cool.

On Monday, just to get out of the house, (Linda was at a doctor check-up), I got in the car and just started driving North. I like exploring all the "market" roads between Redmond and Sisters.

About ten miles toward Sisters, I pulled off on Fryear Rd. and about four miles beyond that I found the Fryear Canyon Trails. (I pulled off on a utility road about a mile before that, but I got the willies from the remains of homeless camps and whiskey bottles.)

I don't know if there are maps to be found of all the public access trails -- local, county, state and federal. But I'm going to start drawing my own crude maps in a notebook, so someday I won't have to wander around for so long before finding a likely spot.

Funny how you have the same schedule for years, and then it changes -- but your body still thinks the old schedule.

I wake up Wednesday mornings thinking I need to hurry to get ready for the comic shipments.

Then I remember I dealt with them last night.

But having dealt with the comics, I think I need to do the weekly liquidation orders from Diamond -- but those aren't until tomorrow.

I think I'm autistic. I don't like the routines messed with!

Having money in the stock market is just weird. It seems so detached from day to day reality. Making money doing nothing at all.

Of course, I'm aware I could just as easily lose money doing nothing at all.

But it's weird.
