Here's a joke that has some bearing on current politics and its relation to the news cycle:
One day on a sailing ship the first mate shows up to duty drunk. The captain makes a note of this in the ship's log: "The first mate was drunk today". Much as the first mate pleaded, the captain would not strike the log entry because one can only do so if it is in error, and this entry was factually correct.

Did the assassination attempt look a little bit like a combination of WWE and a James Brown big finish?

Pour one out for Bob Newhart, 94 years young. Passed too soon.

"Hi Bob"
>Drink

Sept 5, 1929 - July 18, 2024

Thanks for all the laughs, and the drinks, Bob.

Clarence Thomas possibly meeting secretly with Kremlin officials in Russia and then committing felony Tax Fraud to cover it up is just another major breaking news story media has no time to cover because Biden cleared his throat a few extra times 12 days ago."

At this point, a handful of Democratic house members and maybe three Senate members are questioning whether Biden should continue. You know how small a percentage that is of everybody on the Democratic side?

JFC, I'm a Bernie boy. But I know there's no way to change horses here. GTF in line bitches!

Good morning all, I was up a couple hours ago. I've been doom scrolling, deleting, and visiting this place. So nice to see everyone this morning greetings, I'm bad about it. We had thunderstorms come through last night so Thor's and windows open all night and it's cool in the house. In a few I'm off to go fix an electrical outlet and dishwasher cord for a friend. I think she'll pay me with breakfast. 😋

Biden needs to do a gish gallop of edgy executive orders and flood the capacity of the other side to stop him. Then do more of them to stop the efforts that do come up.
Go all "Dark King Biden" on their ass.

Mild language, cultism, Supreme Court. Show more

Although I don't think he will, Biden's smartest next move will be to do something so egregious that the courts are forced to take up the question of whether or not he can do it under this new supreme Court ruling.

I keep meaning to post about my experience with Prevagen®️. But, I got distracted and forgot.

Yes, it's hot. Did stuff this morning. Now I'm not. I think a beer is in order. Most of the important stuff is done, now it's just the list of oughta do's, and might do's.

Goodnight moon.

Half a century ago, and more, I spent many weekends at this spot on the Elkhorn river in Nebraska.

Earlier today I drove by my childhood suburban Omaha house, my elementary school, and my junior high and I found the mulberry tree many of my friends and I spent hours in after grade school, eating ripe mulberries and getting purple fingers - waiting to be written in to a Shel Silverstein story.

Whew, thank God I always carry bolt cutters.

I feel like I'm out with my friends on my stingray & the street lights just came on

Well this is going to be interesting. I'm in a state park that says they close and lock the gates at 10:00 at night. I just got done with my bar hopping after work and I'm almost there but it's 10:01. What do you suppose is going to happen if they locked me out. Oh and by the way, I've now hit four red lights in a row.

There is no housing shortage. There are many more homes than families who need them.

Builders and sellers just keep building unaffordable homes.

Then cities end up with a bunch of homeless people, and instead of treating them as people in crisis who have been forced into homelessness, they're treated as pests, and cities try to criminalize sleeping outside.

This guy is the best YouTube solar power guy out there.

This is a different video than his usual where he reviews, tears down, and tests, batteries, solar panels, inverters, etc.

Here he's really beating down the anti-solar folks by dropping the facts and embarrassing the hoo-rah internal combustion engine (ICE) fanboys, while also allowing there is a role for ICE.

Well today was supposed to be a simple move about an hour and a half east. Load Harley, recumbent, hitch up, fill up, head out about noon.

So 6 hours, 2 RV parks later, camp setup, a motorcycle ride for dinner and beers, then another campsite move (I was not in the best of places, so found another) and I'm finally plopped down and drinking.

Life is like a box of chocolates.
