Day 740. It is another chilly day outside but it is at least a bit warmer than it was yesterday. I am not all that inclined to venture out into it but at least it is rather sunny and I am producing a good amount of solar power. On a different note I keep mulling over an interaction that I had with a cashier the last time that I went on a supply run and I am going to vent a few of my thoughts that it left me with so that perhaps they will quit tumbling around in my head. I had remarked to the cashier on what a great deal the dog food that I was buying was and how I would probably be visiting the store often to buy it. For my part I was just making pleasant small talk before paying for the dog food and didn't really expect any sort of reply or anything. The cashier inquired what sort of dogs I had and like most dog owners I happily obliged her while thinking to myself something like 'Ah the small talk that makes the world go around' and almost chuckled at the thought but before I could quite chuckle the cashier got a rather sour look on her face and said in a condescending (and you-sir-should-feel-guilty-for-feeding-this-to-your-dogs) voice that the food doesn't have any nutrition. Up until that point I had been more or less smiling the bewildered smile (that I often feel floating across my face when I make my monthly excursions for supplies) and that smile slipped away like a warm summer day as the judgement of the cashier's intention hit me and I just gave her a flat eyed stare and rapidly finished my transaction with no more chit chat and a thought that I often think running through my head 'This is why I avoid the humans'. Anyway for someone that spends the same amount of money each month to feed their dogs as they do to feed themselves that sort of erroneous judgment is a slap in the face to say the least but it is not anything all that new considering that I have encountered a similar sort of judgment about the food that I feed myself and to me it basically translates to something like 'If you can't afford to buy all organic overly priced food you shouldn't eat anything at all and furthermore you probably don't deserve to'. The truth is that some (most) folks can't afford 'good' food for ourselves or our animals but at least we still eat something and still feed our animals and other folks' judgement over this just adds insult to the injury of already barely getting by in life...but at least we are not assholes. Anyway now that That is off my mind I am going to think about things that are more deserving of my attention like whether I am going to open a can of refried beans for dinner or eat some more over-processed sliced turkey on wheat bread sandwiches...or both for dinner. Have a nice day or something and don't be a dick.

Note: As some of you know I have been making these 'Daily Post' on another platform ever since I began my stay at this old farm seven hundred and forty days ago. Ever since I began using Steemit I have considered posting them here as well but have been hesitant to do so because the content of them varies and thus it is difficult to tag as 'one thing or another' and they do not always directly relate to homesteading, off grid living or whatever. I also type them out in a notepad App on an Android phone and post them as a 'wall of text' instead of breaking them into paragraphs because the platform that I copy and paste them to formats them into a 'wall of text' even if I break them into paragraphs. I am not going to correctly format them and have grown to enjoy their rambling nature. So this is sort of a test and I appreciate any feedback that folks may have.
