This is a sad day for me. I am a space geek and used to enjoy following SpaceX, but now that I know Musk is a "dark MAGA", I can't see a launch without knowing it's being done by a real Nazi. He's a threat to democracy and the rule of law.

I own two EVs, neither of them are Teslas because of Musk. I was excited to gain access to the Tesla superchargers last week, but after Musk's appearance at tRump's NAZI hate rally, I'm not going to use them.
Musk is an evil Bond villain at this point.

Watching the last few minutes of Civil War and imagining it's Trump being dragged out from under the Resolute Desk makes me happy.

We hit the iceberg on January 6. We're just rearranging deck chairs and being entertained while the country goes down. Nothing we do now can stop it. The fact that it's "neck and neck" proves it.

Now that we know it's possible to embed undetectable explosives in small electronic devices, good luck getting them on airplanes soon. TSA is probably apoplectic.

I watched Civil War last night. My impression of the movie (not to give anything away) was actually hopeful, in that I hope it happens if Trump is reelected. You'll have to watch it to understand.

The loud fat orange guy said they're eating what now?

Olivia Reeves would be a good person to be around when you need a tree trunk or an SUV lifted off of you. Damn, that was an impressive gold medal win.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness... --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.

Good Night Oppy is worth watching if you love NASA/JPL missions. It's hard not to cry at the end. Just saying.

Sunday reminder:

Yet another mass shooting. Now we have media claiming they're not speculating while airing "experts" with hours of speculation. Then we get the press conferences with people thanking everyone, blathering on about thoughts and prayers, meanwhile nothing actually gets done to stop this insanity. Murika!

Most of us will be dead 24 months from now. The United States will cease to exist after the next presidential "election". No matter who "wins", nationwide violence will destroy everything. No grocery stores, no utilities, no functioning hospitals or law enforcement. Be prepared to live in a post apocalyptic hellscape. Enjoy. We did it to ourselves.

I need advice from my COSO friends. Should I adopt another dog? It's been 6 months since we had to put down our second and last dog, and I swore I'd never do it again. But we just met an amazing pup who needs a good home. I'm so conflicted. Should I do it? After 20 years of having dogs, I really feel I need another one, but the thought of having to put one down again makes me miserable. Thoughts?

Is it just me or are commercials today so stupid they're actually insulting?

...just one more thing.

Colombo marathon on Hallmark.

New Russian EV. Look out Tesla.😂

Textiles... Can't live with them.

This is the best time to visit a nude beach in California. Here's one in San Diego, the famous Black's Beach.
