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.

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.

If you hate clothes (and tan lines) give a free beach a try. What is a free beach? It's a place where you have freedom to wear something or nothing at all, unlike everywhere else. Here's a great one in Central CA.https://www.californiabeaches.com/beach/pirates-cove-beach-avila-beach/

Winter in California is Nude Beach Season. See you there!

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a country on Earth that believed in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all? You know, someplace that believes in freedom? Too bad such a place doesn't exist.
