I'm pretty sure that is one, grey fur with a little white, sitting near Blue Shorts' right hip and staring up toward the magpie. Though I suppose it could be a small dog; hard to tell with the small ears.

They used to give tours of asylums. They were sort of like freak shows at carnivals. William Hogarth depicted this in the last panel of his "Rake's Progress" series. In the play "Marat/Sade", the inmates put on a play for the public. It goes about as you'd expect.

Obviously, they (barely) ended up taking different sides in the war. But KY picked the side that *won.* There must be something else in their history that explains what went so wrong.

When the idea was first proposed, Physicists were very excited that they had learned a fundamental truth about reality. However, it was soon pointed out that gravitational fields didn't conserve energy. Physicists were about to abandon the idea when a ridiculous kluge was suggested: "Potential Energy". BECAUSE PHYSICISTS WANTED THE CONSERVATION OF ENERGY SUGGESTION TO BE TRUE, they accepted that ridiculous kluge. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS POTENTIAL ENERGY, IT IS PURE GASLIGHTING AT ITS BEST.
Today an additional crack has been pointed out. There is no way to reconcile "Conservation of Energy" with the idea of a Doppler shift.

Ugh, I keep hearing people at the office talking about how so and so has COVID. And they all get tested every time they sneeze. Allowing that COVID was dangerous to certain populations during certain strains, the result I'm seeing now is that normal people are afraid to have a cold. And go seek medical attention or testing for things that would have previously warranted soup and lounging. The utterly complete mindset shift around common illness is astonishing.

Aren’t you tired of nonstop doom and gloom from @realDonaldTrump @JDVance?
So is everyone. That’s why #KamalaWinsWithJoy.
And remember, joy is a choice, regardless of circumstances! In November, we can #ChooseKamala and #ChooseJoy (get these trending). Let’s see how!

There is a grave near my grandparents and mother, whose inscription I've wondered about for years and could never find a reference for as written, and this provides a possible explanation (even though the specifics will remain a mystery know only to the people who knew the person and erected it).
"One magpie flew past, followed by seven."
Sorrow, and a secret never to be told?

The historian Christopher Oldstone-Moore identifies “four great beard movements” that punctuate the history of masculinity — the second century, the High Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the latter half of the 19th century. Arguably we are currently at the beginning of a fifth age, though time will tell whether this is merely a moment of fashion or something more. Certainly beards have been current and widespread for the last 20 years and the term “hipster beard” is idiomatic.

Albany is pretty sh*tty. Dover is a dump. I have heard that Jackson MS is a sh*thole.
But yeah...Trenton is impressively awful.

It is. If passing through, don't stop. Get fuel, food, and potty breaks at least 50 miles put of Jackson. Roll up the windows, lock the doors, and have you ccw in your hand should you get stopped at a traffic signal or traffic jam on the interstate.
Don't feel bad about it. It is whitey's fault. Not the Donks that have run the place into the dirt for the last 60 uears.

The other popular pills in the 60s for Moms were Purple Hearts, a combination of amphetamine and a barbiturate. From wiki:
Dexamyl was a brand name combination drug composed of sodium amobarbital and dextroamphetamine sulfate (Dexedrine) within the same pill. It was widely abused, and is no longer manufactured.
The pills were purple and heart-shaped.

As soon as you allow "potential dollars" to be used in bookkeeping you are opening yourself up to fraud. Bookkeeping has to be completely about real dollars.

Sort of.
Smart quotes and odd characters, like accent marks, are okay in the comment boxes now [although they take away from how many characters you can type without getting the message rejected as too long!] BUT the smart quotes [I think unless the few I've seen recently were for other specialist characters?] still go black diamond in in the blog posts!
And there's a new PITA auto-smiley-face emoji. When it's a smart quote followed by a close-parenthesis, it's gives an inadvertent smiley face like the 8 ) giving the

In 2012 I escaped there to avoid the sweltering hellhole of my apartment after a hurricane knocked out the power for several days. My motel was in the southern part of Jackson, a suburb if you can call it that. They had a big open-air mall with half the stores closed. Streets weren't too bad. Again, this was 2012.
We've heard since then that they have trouble keeping the tap water running, so I have no desire to go back.
