For most people Friday marks, the end of one work week and the gateway day into the ‘weekend’. People all over the world use Friday as an excuse to look towards being as nonproductive as possible for the next two days and then decry the calendar as they start up their drudgery again on Monday. This is not the case for myself at all. I actually would rather not have to deal with the mentality that Friday is some sort of day to celebrated on a weekly basis.
“The name Friday comes from the Old English Frīġedæġ, meaning the "day of Frige", a result of an old convention associating the Germanic goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess Venus, with whom the day is associated in many different cultures. The same holds for Frīatag in Old High German, Freitag in Modern German, and vrijdag in Dutch.
The expected cognate name in Old Norse would be friggjar-dagr. The name of Friday in Old Norse is frjá-dagr instead, indicating a loan of the week-day names from Low German,[3] however the modern Faroese name is fríggjadagur. The modern Scandinavian form is fredag in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, meaning Freyja's day. The distinction between Freyja and Frigg in some Germanic mythologies is contested.”

Friday is the day that I usually prepare a meal for my wife and her parents to have while they sit around having a few adult beverages and ruminate over the victory and/or foibles of the week. Sometimes I take the ole’ lazy ‘take n’ bake’ route by grabbing something from the freezer section at the Bush Alaska version of a big-box store… and sometimes I actually start from scratch with one of my always wonderful meals. I think today it’s going to be a combination of the two…
Moving on from that… I want to briefly touch on something that I haven’t really breached as a topic lately. The national election and the plethora of circus rings surrounding it. The most prominent circus ring of course is the fact that We the people are being forced to choose between an egomaniac and a crook. Sure, there is a third candidate on most ballots, but let’s be realistic… despite the fact that she’s the absolute best choice for the job, she’ll never be elected. I dare say that if any of the Top 10 most admired people in history were to be resurrected and run for POTUS… the American people would still vote for one or the other or maybe even both mainstream corporate candidates. What a sad commentary on how far We the people have allowed ourselves to be led away from the basic ideals of America.
On another note… I did receive one reply back from the Dillingham City Council in regards to my letter about ‘Emergency Ordinance 2020-22 shown in the screencap below:
