This is a hard-to-swallow indictment of a powerful editor and a take-no-prisoners publication (Rolling Stone).

The journalist tried to maintain the integrity of the story, but the editor omitted key facts because the story was about his friend.

Ultimately, the subject of the FBI raid, a journalist, was targeted because of child abuse and not because of his reporting.

When the cats away
The mice will play?

Well, the wife just left for a 2 week business trip and this mouse is working his ass off getting the house painted before she returns.

I'm exhausted!

1 cubic meter of air, at sea level, at 100% humidity, at room temperature has 0.088 cups of water

I've just calculated that polished copper can condense water vapor at a rate 17X that of water itself.

So, if a cool, dry, polished copper surface was exposed to air with adequate humidity, it would begin condensing water.

If it was then wiped away and collected, it would continue attracting water at 17X the rate of the wet copper.

If true, that system could be a highly efficient source of water.

Today's condenser systems have the water dripping off, keeping the condenser always wet.

Just had my first ride in an autonomous vehicle!

The robots are here!

Damage in the park near my home from the storm yesterday. Took out a tennis court.

I'm at a millenial wedding.
Jessie's Girl is playing.
They all know the lyrics!!!

Ya know when you see a person talking to themselves you suddenly realize they are on a call with earbuds?

Ya, that person behind me is just talking to herself.

There should be a rule that if you are going on a flight you must scrape your tongue and use mouthwash

And I'm on my third martnini.

Imagine sitting on top of a mountain.
That's what I feel like when walking around my construction site in my condo.

It's an assessment of my accomplishment.

Bloody hands

It's dusty
A mess of tools

It used to be a fancy place where fancy people sipped fancy wine.

And it will be again.

But now it's mine.

It's my canvas.

And in the future, when the fancy people have returned and the fancy wine is pouring, I'll remember tonight when it was a mess.

A Lithuanian peasant made this.

Sip..

Incredibly petty.
"POTUS was dismissive of Georgia race when he saw him on Friday,” Lachlan Murdoch said. “He basically said Republicans shouldn’t vote because it’s all rigged anyway. And if he can’t win no one should.”

I just shook up my 2nd martini.

AWE SHIT. I just splattered martini all over myself while trying to read and drink.

I'm starting to realize I have not accepted the fact I'm getting old.

Just got back from a startup networking event. I was the oldest there.

I walked 1/2 mile from the bus stop. My legs hurt.

I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop coming home. My legs hurt.

I take a taxi home.

I've got a martini sitting next to me now.

Just finished installing the drywall over the old radiator hole.

I'm exhausted.

It's 3:40 pm and I'm just now eating breakfast.

I've got at least 2 more days of spackling to do.

Stayed up until 1:30 configuring my elderly father in law's new phone. It's replacing the one he lost. I'm exhausted.

Back to the construction work. My whole body hurts from yesterday's job.

I've been pound old plaster off of walls for the past 3 hrs. I'm exhausted and really, really dirty.

But, the electrical work is going very smoothly.

I just need to get the drywall and plaster started tomorrow or else this mess will go into next week when the wife returns.
