Possibly, but is anyone watching he wonders….

The Return of Fu?
For a while now the company filters have not been blocking the Wilson Fu blog. Perhaps I can start posting on an infrequent basis again!
Where Have You Been?
Well, a job change left Mr. Fu with limited access to the web site during the day. But that has recently changed, so here we are.
1933
There is a distinct 1933 feel about this point in America. I hope we are vastly wrong on this. But Hayek had very interesting things to say about the ways of democracy not preventing totalitarianism….
Friday, Friday
And the hits keep coming. Good day so far, cooled off, lowered humidity. Lowered humidity is always a miracle in August in Alabama, especially in the Rocket City.
Another Reason We Need Firearms
To shoot sick bastards like the creeps in this sorry tale. Actually, shooting is probably too good for them.
500 Posts
According to Mr. Fu’s Wilson Fu dashboard, we have reached the 500 post mark.
Seared Bovine Flesh
Mr. Fu had gone off the frozen Angus burgers available at Sam’s Club. But last night we grilled up some and they were very tasty. Highly recommended for fast meal preparation for large groups.
Nice Picture
The buzz.mn has a really cool picture of a building in Minneapolis. It says “progress.” It says “Shouldn’t throw stones.”
We Are Most Fortunate
That in spite of all the issues we seem to have with youth these days, this country still produces some of the hardest working, most dedicated young people in the world. The video at this link shows you a young lady who will reach her goals despite all obstacles.
Congratulations on a race well run Miss Markwardt! We should all be so strong. At least we can be inspired by your example.
That’s Easy
Here is an easy question that clueless anti-gun whackos cannot seem to answer: examine the deviant art and answer the question.
Fall Has Arrived
One of those beautiful clear mornings you seem to recall as completely new. Though you have probably seen them so many time before. Nice to be able to forget somethings so that it can be brought back anew.
The trees are in full turning mode, a mixture of still very green and gone all golden brown. One of the more interesting aspects of fall in northern Alabama. Though perhaps it happens this way everywhere. But it is here and now, thus wonderful.
Courtesy is Catching
Mr. Fu likes the insurance commercial where the lady holds back a guy and keeps him from stepping out into the street in front of a bus. A man witnesses this event and subsequently helps another person, forming a chain of random acts of kindness that eventually cycle back around to be witnessed by the first lady in the chain.
Today’s first random act of kindness was performed by the driver of the silver Volkswagen Bug on Old Madison Pike at Slaughter Road who kindly let Mr. Fu into the flow of traffic. Thank you, Mr. Fu will try to pass it onward. You will see it again.
That Is Over
The proposal has been submitted, all is well. Sleep. Blissful sleep.
Wheel Spinning
Mr. Fu has been working on a proposal submission. Writer’s block and lots of re-wording of the same old thing. Ugh, why are these activities not more fun?
That’s a Long Running (a) Fair
Jame Lileks has an interesting entry at the buzz.mn:
How did Mr. Fu miss a World’s Fair that ran for 43 years? Mr. Fu has not even made it to the ’82 Fair to see the Sunsphere yet
BTW, ’64 Fair imagery was revived by a movie a few years back. Much the same way the Sunsphere was featured in a TV show.
You Might Be Taliban If…
Firehand has a list of possibilities. Oh the hypocrisy of a couple of those….
James Lileks’s Work to be Stored Near Ark of the Covenant
Wow, this is great:
Okay, maybe the title is a bit of a stretch. And Mr. Fu supposes he means the Ark of the Covenant that Moses built, not some relic of the aliens from the Halo series. Though for bad guys the Covenant aliens are pretty cool, kind of Klingon like, but without the whining (that is a rant for another time).
The Magic Of Tomorrow
METAPHOR is working on the Matchbook collection:
And has another interesting thought:
Experience teaches that the magic of tomorrow is the promise it holds. A bit of sadness lurks in the idea that tomorrow never comes, for it is always the next day, and we may never see the next day. But somehow the magic continues to bleed through to today.
