Yes. That must be what has happened here.
No funding. No posts. Without direction, without my own personal congress overriding any pork-eatin' shenanigans all efforts come to a screeching halt.
Naw. Really. On the way home from a stressful day at the office (I had to write that to justify the bourbon and ginger sitting beside me), I was listening to NPR and heart the term 'smoke and mirrors' uttered by a Republican in reference to the efforts being put forth by our President of the Democratic persuasion to keep things moving in our country's capital.
And I thought, "Smoke and mirrors???!!! By golly, that's MY trick. And I started feeling the guilt of not pulling my weight here.
But since I am (at least for now) a total and complete volunteer effort and do not in any way rely on taxpayers, product endorsements and / or schmoozing politicians gifting me and opening doors, it takes a great deal of oomph, commitment and discipline to get myself here on a regular basis.
So yes, there will be the occasional shut downs here at smoke + mirrors. Don't worry (and yes, I'm talking to you, Pop), the interior halls and inter-workings of my internal government is alive and well and might just need a mini-furlough to gather more writing material.
