S2 E11 — Waiting for the 3rd Shoe to Drop

“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”

I must be doing something wrong.  My Patreon articles shared on Facebook aren’t displaying like I wanted.  Except for the “Rascal Flats Best West Road Trips” text and photo. 

Hi and welcome to Saturday’s Episode 11 of the Second Season’s  My Pandemic Year’s Natural Experiment, on March 14th in the spring of 2020 here in California.

Evidence

For a Saturday, this just seems like too much to put up with.  Maybe because our Cox bundle of cable, phone and internet just keeps crapping out. 

Or for some reason electricity to our backyard barbecue and refrigerator tripped circuit breakers for some reason.  

Recent rain puddling underneath the barbecue?

Should we wait for a third shoe to drop.  My mother always told me bad things happen in threes.

Looking for inspiration from today’s Holiday Tau I notice right away nothing good materializes for Steve Zahn, Henry Winkler, Emma the Baroness or me.

Random ones that make me want change my sign.

How about from you, our Patron Saint?  Or is your Holiday Tau taking a Saturday off for all intents and purposes?  Hmm.  Nothing yet.

“3”  Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Someone with a new perspective will catch you off-guard.  It doesn’t have to be particularly sound or true to be interesting and spark your next surge of creativity.” Aries

Howey, you’re next up.  Whatcha got in you toolkit of TauBits? So you’re referring to the Cox technician and our electrician?

“5”  Steve Howey, 42: “Do you need guidance? Yes.  Can you give guidance?  Yes.  Whatever you don’t know, there will be people around you to show you.” Cancer

I get what you’re promoting with your Holiday Tau, but this is the type of day when I step back from head banging on a problem and walk away. Oh, wait.  I’ll be walking three miles around the lake, is that what you mean?

“4”  Steve Kerr, 54: “One question that has come up lately is, ‘Who do you think you are?’ Rest assured, this identity will resolve itself beautifully in action.” Libra

Right.  But, did I miss the punchline after a great set up?

“3”  Steve Nash, 45: “Each person deals with life on a certain scale, which can be similar or vastly different from you own.” Aquarius
