@northernbassist Very nice.

"99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
The 99 red balloons go by"

@Marlowe2 I'll bet every one of them is a christian and a republican.

@JillPfefferle Well, they can crash the economy, put millions of people out of work, destroy millions of retirement accounts, stop paying seniors SSI and medicare. It's all about the debt ceiling at this point.

Update: We have him on Vetoryl to treat the Cushing's and Galliprant to treat his OA. Got a belly strap to hold him up when his back legs get too weak in the evenings so he can go out to do his business. He's eating, active and seems happy, so we'll keep going. Yeah, it's expensive, but he's family, right?

@RaceBannon I own a Bolt. After the battery recall, I basically got a new car with a longer range. If you want to take long trips, be aware that the Bolt is the slowest charging car on the market. Not a problem if you're not in a hurry, but really annoying when you are.

@JohnMaun Yeah, it ain't as simple as building crappy cars. Just one distracted person can cause a lot of death and destruction. Musk is unstable and quite possibly crazy, it seems.

I think NASA needs to start worrying about the stability of SpaceX now.

Pop quiz: When the sky is this color, what should you be doing?

Deleting junk emails about my car's warranty...

You can have only one:

1969 Oldsmobile Hurst 442

1971 Pontiac Firebird TA 455 HO

2010 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L V8

A Tesla.

What do you choose?

@themamundi That's the truth. You can also add any landing you don't get fired for is a good one. Never been fired...yet.

I've been a pilot for 40 years as of today. Everyone asks me how many "hours" I have, but the real measure of a successful flight is the landing, of which I have about 28,000.

We've got leftovers and a West Wing marathon on TV. All set for the next 3 days.

@T_SK It's already started, but 2025 will be when a hundred million or so die of sickness and starvation after all the systems collapse. It will take another 20 years or so for the former United States to break apart into 5 or 6 separate countries. Another hundred million will die before it's all over.

Happy Holidays!

@DocLaing It would buy you some time while the lion eats the pizza shield anyway.

@gbindyjilly I know. How did that happen? I love that movie too. The way Clooney and that entire ensemble are perfect together makes it so much fun. It's a go to "comfort" movie for me.

@gbindyjilly The old one or the new one?

@newbreedleader I started blocking people on the bird site who kept posting Agolf Twitler's "truths". Now that it's back on the bird, it will only get worse. I agree with you. Don't bring his sewage here. We don't want it.
