One of the colloquial phrases, ok  maybe it's not just AZ but I hear it more here, that's been annoying me is the Popeye school of    "it is  what it is" as a cover all for  ill conceived, poorly implemented or ineffable solutions that have wandered onto the radar.This verbal chaff that's tossed up in the air , rather than  fixing a location onto the problem , obscures the problem and by the time all the flakes have landed , or given up and go home,  there's still the small matter of a  missile  bearing down on you. As a bonus there's now less time and fewer options to react with.  

As to the blog not being updated.  Work,  my wifelette took a dump on her bike and needs  watering now and again plus  I've been writing more blogs for the company which  take up more time on the ground that  I have to be right, rather than right now here's what I think.
