Ain’t Nothing Going On But the Mortgage…

Well, gang. I have really searched everything this morning, and there is nothing new to report –except that, sadly, the current death toll for the earthquakes yesterday is around 5000.

From Intel Slava Z — as of 3:45AM:

“🇹🇷🇸🇾⚡️As of 10 am, the total death toll in Syria and Turkey following yesterday’s earthquake is approaching 5,000 and the numbers are far from final.”

A few minutes later, from Aquila:

“🚨BREAKING – Death Toll from the Turkey & Syria Earthquake Surpasses 5000+”

Also from Aquila:

“❗️🇸🇾 We can confirm that the claims of prisoners escaping from Rajo prison in Aleppo are totally fake & is done only to create more panic in an already worsening situation in Northern Western Syria.”

“Totally Fake News”

Beyond that tragedy, there was nothing new to report.

Phil did a livestream last night, with the tiniest bit of intel imaginable — CIC Trump will make some sort of announcement before the week is out and it will be “encouraging.”

Your guess is as good as mine on that, gang. But it is always nice to at least watch Phil on a livestream, regardless of what he might be able to say or not say.

The replay is here, if you missed it. It is primarily Part 3 of the series on the age of the Earth (2 hrs 40 mins):

Posted to Phil’s channel later last night, “Nancy Drew” explaining the PEAD. We’ve been waiting on the PEAD for over 2 years, so I have no comment to make on this at all. We’ll just see.

“Nancy Drew (link includes the PEADS Act documents):

The PEADS Act. The actual Trump Card. This was discussed in Phil’s live last night. Because we were in a national emergency from the Chyna virus, this was able to be implemented giving Daddy T supernatural presidential power. Suspension of the Constitution? 🤔 Give it a read. At any second they choose, this Trump card gets thrown on the table, and CHECKMATE. GAME OVER.”

And that is it, gang.

In other news–

I have taken many, many, many online lecture courses from Bart Erhman over the last 15 years or so. Honestly, so many that I can’t even count. I am currently taking one on the “Writings of the Apostolic Fathers after the New Testament”. it is extremely interesting.

Apparently, though, he has a new one coming out soon and it is also about the Book of Mark. (I just took James Tabor’s course on the Book of Mark.) Anyway. Here is the info–

Other than that, today is a big day for me. My final court hearing in my bankruptcy case takes place early this afternoon — meaning, they will either grant it or not. And then late this afternoon, I begin my new full-time job (across the road from where my part-time job was — same owner).

The primary reason for the switch to the full-time job is that by working evenings, I will FINALLY have my daytime hours free again for my writing. Every day. Yay.

Not counting the current new play I am writing with Sandra Caldwell, here are the projects-in-progress that came to a screeching halt due to the lockdowns:

Girl in the Night: Erotic Love Letters to the Muse (memoir)
Thug Luckless: Welcome to P-Town (novel)
Down to the Meadows of Sleep (novel)
In the Shadow of Narcissa (flash-memoir)
Tell My Bones (play)
Novitiate (erotic novella)
Cleveland’s Burning (TV pilot being adapted for the stage)
In the Days of the Flesh: The Gospel According to Caiaphas (play)
Lita måste gå! (micro-short film in pre-production with Abstract Absurdity Productions)
