Today is 09/16/2026

by me, Kerry Burgess: October 18, 2019

I make a lot of posts that lead up to a primary post here on this blog and this blog post is one of those, those that lead up to the primary blog post, which could be one of several I'm working on at the same time. Sometimes I just need to yell at the stupid people on the television. I know you're listening to me!

Today became sort of an excursion for me again.

Typically my so-called excursions are on my bicycle, but that isn't always the case. My ascent to Tower Mountain a couple years ago being a prime example, before all that walking and over-exertion, causing my former glorious Ironman triathlon feet to rebel because they're wasted sitting here almost every waking hour at this stupid desk.

I'm beginning to think of this blog and all my blog posts as being mainly for my own record.

Being *forced* into this isolation all those 15 years ago contiguously at this stupid desk trying to fight my way out in a constant campaign to find my way back, this record is better to be posted online than to simply sit here festering away on my computer, stolen by forces unknown to me

Anyway, I really didn't want to go for a walk, I certainly wasn't feeling hungry. In fact, I had eaten food not too much earlier and was feeling drowsy and that was what finally got me out the door.

I didn't think of it as any sort of excursion, just a walk I sometimes take to stretch out my aching legs. Today however, out there along the way, I decided to see if my feet could handle a short jog. It was sad, sad excuse for jogging but I did jog again for a short while, very short, the first time in a long time, and then continued walking. What I really don't want to lose is the conditioning I got from the bicycle over the summer. I did learn that my body mass isn't affected much by only bicycling, and dieting, or a reduction of food intake, is the only way to help reduce my overweight condition because of this stupid desk, at least in terms of the amount of bicycling distance I covered over the past few months. Probably activity in greater frequency and perhaps even much shorter distance would be even more beneficial.

Today, I was returning to this apartment and thoughts began forming in my mind to stop for dinner at the _ Restaurant along the way. I wasn't even feeling hungry. After I capitulated to the thoughts in my mind, I began to wonder if there was going to be a code pattern today that seems compelling to me personally. I've made some posts here in the distant past when I was experimenting with the code pattern and associated with my random visit to that place, of which today is perhaps only the third time I've been there, or fourth time. Recently I purchased video copies on Amazon of that television series "Revolution" so now I have a source to better illustrate the code pattern I have discovered and which I believe I have fair reason for documentating to the public my suspicions. Someday I'll get around to creating a full report about my theory about the end of that television series and how the rats are synchronized here in the real world.

Walking in there and sitting down in the sparsely-filled dining room, my first thoughts were about how the situation could be worse.

Could be worse that I was in an occupation that for some inane reason, required me to watch old people having sex together.

That would be worse than sitting there at that moment having to listen to old people eating food. Bring the Fix-o-dent with you next time, Gramps.

My hopes were dashed they would be leaving soon when the waitress came around and took their order just moments after I sat down.

I wasn't very hungry but I wondered if my favorite dish would be good there, I rarely, very rarely visit a waited-table restaurant.

Perhaps seeking approval, "You are the master of every situation" his old eyes staring in amazement at the woman seated across the table from him in front of me, behind a face vaguely familial in Caucasian old shape and bald head, white hair, reading from his fortune cookie.

Mine arrives with a "You did a good job" from that waitress but I cannot read it now, for the first time in my life, when not too long ago, but over a decade ago, at 40 years old, I could still read, unaided with my natural eye-sight, the bottom line of the eye chart at the VA hospital, today being reminded I need to start carrying reading glasses with me for fine-print, while every thing else is still fine for me.

Back at this stupid desk, the local news on tv just ended, a few minutes before 7 PM. "Enjoy" she bubbles. I have just put on my reading glasses, which are basically just simple magnifying lenses, as far as I know, that are easily available on a shelf at the grocery store, and their assorted items, and I see now that my so-called "fortune" today was "Now is the time to set your sights high and go for it."

Eventually, I'll get around to making the primary post that many of these recent posts and probable future posts are associated with and point to.

Postcards from the Edge (1990)

(from internet transcript)

I hardly think you're in a position
to judge me.
I hope you weren't
sleeping with someone.
- I wasn't sleeping with...
- If you were, I hope you used condoms.
I didn't raise you to act this way.
I hope it's your morals in question,
not your judgment.
I'm middle-aged.
I'm middle-aged.
How many 120-year-old
women do you know?

KE'RA
Tell me of Linea.

DANIEL
Well, uh, basically, we met her on a visit to another planet, during which we were imprisoned, unjustly, and Linea helped us escape.

KE'RA
Surely there is nothing wrong with that, if you were imprisoned unjustly.

DANIEL
Well, she was imprisoned justly. It was only after we escaped that we learned this nice, older lady we thought Linea was, was in fact a very, very bad, older lady, who had committed terrible crimes.

KE'RA
What crimes?

DANIEL
She created a plague that almost wiped out an entire people. They called her the Destroyer of Worlds.

The date 3/16/1998 keeps coming up as I investigate this insurrection against the United States of America. I recognize 3/15/1998 as when I left home on this deployment but it could be that 3/15/1998 was the last full day my wife and I spent together and then I left on the morning of 3/16/1998 to begin this deployment. From there, I began the medical process that has left my real memory suppressed from conscious awareness, in support of this effort to prosecute the insurrectionists that are in control of King County, Washington, among other places. The insurgents are pointing back to 3/16/1998, as a way to taunt us that they can hijack my identity and get thousands of Americans killed in the process just because he can.
