Huh. I use mayo AND butter when I make grilled cheeses, and I thought everyone did. Butter on the outside of the bread, mayo on the inside next to the cheese.

The in laws texted at 9pm yesterday and said "We decided to leave a day early. We're in Chelsea now. Be at your house in an hour."
Who the hell does that?! Son came by today and picked up some of the stuff I made to take home for a lunch for everyone and as he finished telling me the story we looked at each other and said simultaneously "How rude".
An hour early, sure, fine. A day early, OK just let me know. 2 days early with zero warning, you're rude.

How can we get rid of Trump as soon as possible?
by Anthony Cady, studied at Grossmont College
Answered 1h ago
Dear Diary,
Trump makes me soooo mad! How dare he celebrate this county's birthday. Why can't republicans become progressive and hate America too? It's not fair! Trump has to go because yesterday he hurt my feelings and I don't even know what he did! We need an annoying faux native American Grandma like Elizabeth Warren to lead this country and make artificial hips free for everyone, especially migrant children. Anderson Cooper is the sexiest lesbian alive. Is it almost time for Pumpkin Spice lattes again?

His equating Ngo's reporting on the panifa protest as the equivalent of "someone walk(ing) into a biker club and ...challenging the bikers on their home turf, no one would be shocked if the bikers beat the crap out of the idiot" is bullshit.
He's justifying violence where none is slightly defensible.
The entire peace reads like a subtle murder confession of a psycho.

But I knew four of the six people there including the host and hostess and all of four voted for Trump. The hostess has known this guy for about 30 years; I guess they don't talk about politics because she voted for Trump too, thus proving it's quite possible to be friends with people who didn't vote the same way if you don't talk about politics.

I was near Princeton today- and in the market nearby where people were wearing flag shirts. Even Princeton University has a conservative group and they call if "The James Madison Society" or something like that and have well attended lectures.I think this is what somebody mentioned above.

Adjacent the food court was a carnival set up on a big open grass lot, all the spin rides, shooting galleries, fun house, all from a Chicago outfit called Windy City Amusements.
Many people there, a nice mix of young and old, plenty of stars and stripes on hats, shirts, pants.
This being McHenry county, IL, almost all were white, which reflects the demographics of this far NW suburban area. The county with a population of 300,000 has 11 percent hispanic, and that group is almost entirely Mexican in origin.
The latinos come to the adjacent beachfront park on weekends in large family groups for cookouts, socializing, and beer and boombox music, and today was no exception. When we walked by the beach park to get to the festival across the street, there were probably 100 latinos at the beach park.
But at the festival across the road, hardly any. The few that were there were at the section where all the amusements were set up. No latinos at the big food court area and table dining, and none watching and listening to the live music on two stages.
Segregation, still alive and kicking, right here in far NW Chicagoland.

They got the sub back to port pretty quickly after the accident, so it doesn't sound as if it was cutting cables in international waters..
On the other hand, they were clearly up to something - rumor has it that two of the fourteen dead were Heroes of the Russian Federation (the successor to the Heroes of the Soviet Union), which is Russia's highest decoration (they give it to civilians as well as military).
Pretty elite crew.
Putin has also confirmed that the sub was nuclear powered.

That was my city/town (population 40K, I never quite know if it's a town or a city) this morning. Folding chairs, coolers, blankets, etc lined the parade route a few hours before the parade got under way. I think a lot of people put that stuff out overnight.

The Pledge was a fascist oath under Bellamy; Americans were to pledge fealty to the unrestricted Union. Woodrow Wilson showed Americans what an unrestricted Union would look like.
The insertion of "under God" corrupted that Pledge, to tell the Union that it was not unrestricted. We should never have another Wilson.

Apparently untrue. A Portland police lieutenant saw a milkshake that he thought had the consistency and smell of quick-drying cement, but there is no evidence that it was thrown at anyone.
The pro-Antifa types in Portland are running around screaming how they've been maligned by the milkshake rumor. They are trying to distract from the fact that Rose City Antifa beat three people badly enough to go to the hospital, including Andy Ngo, who was admitted to the hospital with a brain bleed.

The exact wording of the Pledge has changed several times since it was composed by Francis Bellamy in 1892. Bellamy's original version was: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." A couple of tweaks were made in the 1920s -- changing "my Flag" to "the flag of the United States of America" -- then "under God" was added in 1954.

I have personally experienced -50C at Sturgeon Lake Ontario, in the early '80's. We boost started the Chevy rent-a-truck, and it ran for about 30 miles until the bearings went out. When we boosted it, the oil was so thick, it twisted off the oil pump drive shaft. Rental company was pissed.

I met a mineral geologist who drove a VW Bug to Dawson City, Yukon in midwinter. Both running board fell off because the bolts became brittle and snapped. He would drain out the oil for each overnight stop, and carry it inside to keep it warm, so he could put warm oil in the engine the next morning. Bush pilots in the North used to do the same thing with their airplane engines.

We had an old blacksmith come and give a talk when I was in high school. One of the stories he told was about when he first got one of those new-fangled automobiles (I think a Model T).
The big problem in the winter was that the oil of that day would basically turn to vaseline when it got cold, making it impossible to crank start the car (even for a blacksmith... he was an old man when I saw him, but the dude was still pretty buff).
So, he'd take a blowtorch (a genuine old-time blowtorch... kerosene, manually pumped up with compressed air), crawl under the thing, and heat the oil pan for a while until the oil got thin enough to turn the crank.

You're one of the ones with lovely evil ideas. I'm envisioning an answer to the Justice Democrats. Maybe the Hold My Beer Socialists.
A political organization that goes around auditioning the most obnoxious, entitled snots in the country -- ice cream licker, MAGA-hat-stealing-girl, sign-stealing SJW co-eds -- and we run them for Congress in solid blue districts. Pour tons of resources into them, push them with the most radical rhetoric yet, taunt the locals with charges of racism and misogyny if they don't elect them, and best case scenario they're elected and hung around Nancy Pelosi's neck like baby albatrosses. Short of that, a few Democrat faces get smeared with their own sh*t.

That's why you drained the oil out of the car while it was still warm. Put it in a kettle or pail, and set it beside or on the woodstove. Keep it nice and warm until morning. It's a lot less work to drain and replace oil than it is to heat it up from cold in the engine.
Before reliable antifreeze was commonly available, people would do that with radiator water, too.

He was brought around, at least in part, by Lysander Spooner's essay The Unconstitutionality of Slavery, which pointed out that the only elements that supposedly supported slavery were twisted in language and legal theory, and that if taken as a contract (instead of with what we now call penumbras and whatnot) it should say what it means.
Wordy man, but it boils down to: IF a group of men draw up a contract and then later admit that they intended to do something else, but they knew that the language would be rejected by those ratifying it, should we go by what is written or what after the fact they claim to be what was intended to be, in secret?
Spooner later felt his original conclusion was not correct because he came to believe that no government could be forced to abide by a mere document, and went full Anarchist, however I find his argument to be compelling.

I don't remember the band Porno for Pyros, but who can ever forget...
1) The Dead Kennedys, and their lovely ballad, "Too Drunk To F**k," or
2) Kinky Friedman and His Texas [word I dare not type], & Kinky's inspirational, "Get Yore Biscuits in the Oven and Yore Buns In Bed"?

The U.S. Actual Dammit by God Navy Seals run a few of those sand rail based off road buggies.
I'd love to get close enough to one to suss out the actual powerplant.
Much less the "optional equipment" weapons mounts and such.
I've read some on these, and they come in a wild assortment of seating and gunnery positions.
Just point me to the one that'd be most effective in Houston traffic, and call it SOLD!

50-50 majority and minority (as the Dems view things). The MAGA hats
were everywhere and they were evenly distributed throughout the crowd. They fly bys were great and very inspiring. Everyone enjoyed them.
My
only complaint was the fireworks display threw up way too much smoke. I
hope this wasn't the case fore everyone, from every angle, because from
the Mall area between the Washington Monument and the Capitol, it was
like someone popped smoke about half way through the show.
Again, the crowd was large and positive. I expect the fake news to lie;because it works.

Spokane's not that bad. Easy to get to good hiking and fishing. Kinda remote, but the weather is better than East Tx usually? Boise is way better, but lots of AF folks I know who went through Fairchild liked it well enough.

For a small state, it has very different regions that likely don't have a lot in common. I recall driving through Southern New Jersey a few times and seeing more country areas and Western wear stores than parts of Texas.
The thing I will never understand about NJ is how they let 2a and even knife rights get trampled. But if you don't have the numbers, what can you do? I once had a visiting NJ cop gawk at my simple Kershaw folding knife and loudly proclaim he could arrest me for that in NJ. The set up was too easy, I said the only thing I could, "that is why I don't live in New Jersey".

Meanwhile Beto wants to meet the needs of any illegals ,and all the Demo wants reparations for slavery and healthcare for illegals paid for from our taxes. Frederica Wilson wants people who make fun of Congress to be 'shut Down" and prosecuted. Nice party you got there, Kurt! Hope you had a nice July 4th and have a good day trolling elsewhere.

We had a double fireworks show yesterday.
About 8 PM, out of nowhere, a 20 minute thunderstorm pops up. About .75 inches of rain and some thnderbooms too.
15 minutes after it went by, the neighborhood "kids" started up they're fireworks show.
The big show is Sunday at the end of the festival going on.

If you get away from the big cities, NJ is a nice state. I have covered the whole state, and it can be quite rural and normal. Most only see the northern most part and the area around Philly. Besides you don't have to pump your own gas, and don't try, they yell at you.
