Open Thread
A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, "Two plus five, that son of a ***** is seven. Three plus six, that son of a ***** is nine...." His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?" The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mom." "And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked. "Yes," he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you teaching my son in math?" The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition." The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a ***** is four?" After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four."
There is frugal and then there is larceny.
Meet Mohammed Abdullah Alabilan. The 27-year-old Pennsylvania man was arrested yesterday on a petty theft charge for allegedly stealing a lap dance. Alabilan, cops say, “was buying a service” from a woman inside a Florida strip club when he “refused to pay the $40 service fee.” Seen above, Alabilan sought to leave the Reign nightclub in Clearwater without paying for the 2:45 AM private dance.

Not far off the horizon, it had the attitude of a teacup or a half grapefruit, in that the line between the lit half and the dark was almost parallel the horizon.
At first we though we were seeing a full moon with a heavy cloud line obscuring its entire upper half, but there was not a cloud in the sky.
I'd never seen a first quarter moonrise like it. Coolest sight in our long two day drive down from northern IL.

Just reading about Neil DeAsse Tyson making an ass of himself on Bill Maher the other night. Trying to half-way defend that idiot editor at Scientific American. And making an ass of himself about Mars mission and Elon.
Carl Sagan was a lefty loon and infuriated me. But he was competent, and I learned a lot about astronomy from him as a kid. Neil DeAsse ain't fit to lick his boots.

I stay away from Facebook for that reason. After Election Day I checked in and found a post from an acquaintance likening the day to 9/11. That produced a reply from a mutual acquaintance who happened to be in the South Tower on that day. His response to that reply was something to the effect that he was entitled to his feelings. Now in his defense, the guy is battling cancer and is taking hormones to suppress his testosterone. Still I know way too many cancer fighters that have somehow managed to avoid sinking to that level of crazy...

Dare I tell my dinner story? It’s just me and the kidlette so we were going to have chicken and shaved brussel sprouts. We started the Brussels together first and added all our spices and a little bit of bacon. They were so good we just sat there and ate them, and we were too full for chicken. So we ate brussel sprouts for dinner.

Beloit didn't have much of a sportsball team, but they had one heckuva homecoming band that first year I was there. That was four years before the linked vid.
I'll always remember, there was a quiet moment, and from the middle of the floor, some asshoe yelled out, "Eat me, Frank!" There was a most intriguing pause, and then Frank came back with, "I hope that's a girl with a deep voice!"
The crowd was amused.

My tree is still up from last year. I ended up having surgery the week it was supposed to come down. Then I had some months of recovery, so it wasn't coming down any time soon. I said screw it, leave it up. The day after thanksgiving I just have to plug it in. Kinda glad I don't have to do the 3 day ritual of putting the thing up. Makes it easy this year.

Quinn Sullivan - Let it Rain (Live) - 2018
https://youtu.be/eYBpqtA2ibo
The 2023 performance captures Quinn, in his early 20s, playing at the highest levels of musicianship. This not accidental since at this point he has been playing professionally for over 10 years, maybe a bit more. Often with Buddy Guy since he was 8ish.
This 2023 video performance is a Clapton masterpiece, Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad, from Layla. The artistic maturation of these prodigies since 2018 is stunning and special. The band has this gift to transcend making music and produce something more, sound as poetry.
The 2018 performance is essentially the same band and is included to show off how solid Quinn and his pals were 5 years earlier.

To be clear, you just don't walk into the store to buy tamales. You have to know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody who gives you a phone number to somebody that makes the tamales.
Once you make a phone call and connect you place your order for a dozen or two or three and agree to meet in a Walmart parking lot some days later at a certain time
Of course this is all done on strictly first name basis only and with the transaction completed in cash.
This is but one example of why I love living in New Mexico.
If all this is sounding exactly like selling drugs it is because these tamales are a drug.

New Mexico is a most perfect 2.5 world country because our plumbing allows us the pleasure of flushing toilet paper after taking a dump. It seems this is the difference between a 2.5 world country and a 3.0 world country. There used to be more differences but after the Biden administration this is the only difference left.

Thanks to first refugees (actual refugees) coming here mid-70s, have been lucky to consider Vietnamese food one of my normal cuisines since teen-hood. When I came back for brief visits to the US during guvamint-paid vacations in a war zone, my buddy would pick me up at Dulles and first thing we did - head to a Vietnamese restaurant. Was funny telling our local national employees back over there when they asked my favorite food - Mexican and Vietnamese.
But it's amazing that now we have boxed pho broth.

Apparently I love NPO and liquid diets. Who knew?
But seriously, abdominal pain, low BP. Nothing showed up on CAT scan, but belly started to bloat. They think peritonitis from a small intestinal tear that's probably already healed by now. Feeling better, but gut is kinda fubar.

My last 4 or 5 years of my time in Washington state spent traveling around photographing Eastern Washington, mostly in the Palouse. Something happened during those years and those trips. The result is I am a WSU Cougar to the core. Getting hammered in a Pullman bar after a big game with the locals after a big win. upon reflection, seems to have been a critical part of my conversion. God has blessed me with endless blessings in spite of my debaucherous life.

New Mexican tamales are the improved version of Mexican tamales. See my earlier comment the differences between the 2.5 vsm 3.0 worlds. It seems I skipped over the tamale differences.
In case anybody is confused, lard is an essential food group in New Mexico. I embrace the lard.

I was instantly schooled about "Mexican food" upon my first arrival in New Mexico. The differences here between version a particular dish upon first consumption seem trivial. Upon further inspection they become spectacular. Today I go to a particular restaurant for one dish and one dish only because they make better than anybody for 500 miles around.
The Mexican food up north is Seattle was a sham compared to what I eat around here these days.

Mine was parked in the barn for the summer; golf cart parked behind it. The golf cart would not start, despite cranking it for half a minute. Managed to push it back until it hit the snowdrift, left just enough room to wheel the snow blower out. It has AC electric start. Cord would not reach the one outlet in the barn, so I had to go fetch an extension cord. And I thought, "You know, that fuel tank might be empty." So I brought along a plastic liter bottle of gas, too. Good thing. Tank was dry. Added the gas, plugged in the starter, and vrooom! Plowed my way to the garage, and filled the tank right up. Left a battery charge on the golf cart overnight.

When I make a Chinese-type stir fry, I use either unsalred peanuts or unsalted cashews; mostly cashews with chicken and peanuts with pork.
I use almonds and walnuts in a lot of dishes, too, my favorite being braised endive topped with chopped butter-toasted walnuts.

Stateless, I tried to convert Cat into a housecat, but he simply won't be happy that way. He's never pee'd indoors, but has no idea what to do with a litter box, so I gave up.
There's coyotes around, but not close by, afaik. Of course I worry, but Cat is 12 and Set In His Ways, so: outside when he wants and inside when he wants.
Winter time, he likes indoors better
and stays in overnight when it's wet/super cold.
Summer time, he's gone most of the day & night, only stopping by for occasional snack and some rubbys.

These two are pretty good. They use the litter box. Okay, one crapped in a closet yesterday morning to deliver a message that 6 am is when they want to go out. But they are great cats.
Don't damage things. Jump on tables but don't knock things down.
I took care of their mother and aunt when our friends would go out of town. I was there when they clawed through window screens and became outdoor cats.
These two are experiencing indoor life and we're doing a good sell. I still put them in and out a lot, but they hang around the house or our friends across the street.
Still worry about them.
Thanks for the counselling....
So many people here have been helping me....

Oh, wasn't meant as "couseling" LOL! Your 2 borrowed critters are young, yes? They'll be trainable. (for certain values of the word)
Cat had been a neighbor's Barn Cat for almost a decade, before he ended up in my yard. That's how I know his age and history-- I "stole" him quite by accident and had a long chat with the neighbors. They understand, although the lady seemed extremely pissed off, at first. Long story.
So, Cat never learned about the litter box and was very shy about coming indoors for a long time. Doesn't like to be picked up or held closely, doesn't play much with toys except catnip mouse. Heh. Claws are *razor* sharp and deadly, but he gives a good soft-paw warning when he's had enough of petting. Woe if we ignore it!
Anyway-- he's our cat now, with their blessing. They get to see him, but we get the vet bills. Hmmmm...........

Respectfully, no offense taken, 'cause you don't know the lay of the land, here.
See, Wal-Mart is on Seawall Blvd, and about a third of their year-round business IS TOURISTS. Even in the grocery. The huge number of full-kitchened condos rented out here, the tourists got the cookin' goin' on, too.
Depot is where the locals in the know come to make the tamale hook-ups. Damn few tourists on that acreage.
Believe it or not, more than a few tourists WILL alert store security (who don't give a damn) or the local cops (who sometimes do), about "street vendors" dealing in the wally world lot.

I got my tree up today. Needs fluffing and decorating. Had to relocate Lucy's cat tree.
Lots of glaring.

I bought the core game and one expansion and have 78 minis. I started with the little ones and worked my way up. I have done a number of angels and clouds of fire at this point, and so I think I will do well on these two.

Hi JQ! Yes, but it is counselling. Lol.
These 2 are about a year old. Brother and sister, and before getting fixed and neutered....we think lovers. Snowflake had one very fluffy litter.
Your story is like ours.
Our friends are going on vacation in the new uear and we wanted to get the cats used to the house now rather than January in Canada.
We're currently sharing them.
The cats stay inside a lot of the time. We feed them. Tons of toys, Cat tree. They get along with the dog.
We'll see.
Have a great week and thank you.

Well, it should be, right? No markings at all as to supply voltage. There is an internal switch to set positive or negative ground.

Dick Tracy had some bizarre story lines, but it was fun. The characters were all very cartoonish. Prince Valiant was beautifully drawn, with very realistic characters.

I agree. The knobs on this thing are white, and identical to the typical dash knobs of sixties-era VW's. A four-band radio was pretty high-end kit for the era.

Schmoos were a storyline in L'il Abner. They were a mythical creature whose entire life was dedicated to being eaten by people. And their eyes could be used as buttons. The proliferation of Schmoos wrecked the entire economy, because nobody worked any more. Schmoos would simply jump into your skillet and immolate themselves for your dinner. One could think of it as a satire on EBT cards.

Thank you so much nurse.
We both have and had weather on our side.
Snowflake is going out less and less but I'm sure she's under a porch now. Sleeping. Like Trumpy.
Bastards.
That I love and thank God for always returning to me happy and healthy.
By the way...the worst...phantom meowing. I think I hear them, go check, not there. I really hate that.

Thanks AOP.
I remember some of that because I did research on them a few years back.
And considering current entertainment, I'm happy to go backwards.
You have a great week too.
I'm always amused to see Alberta because I can only imagine what the weather is like.
There was one episode of, I think, "Ice Road Truckers" or something similar.
One guy commented. "Yeah, minus 20 isn't too bad, but ypu really feel it at minus 30."

LOL! Our ol' doggy like mousecicles, too! But... she would actually eat them. Eww.
She liked the squirrels and rabbits, too.
She was a "digger"-- would take treats (or whatever she'd caught/killed) and bury them for later. Sometimes it was kinda gross.

It seemed to me like he spent the first couple of years trying to prove he belonged by playing the daylights out of songs at times. Once he settled into just exploring and wandering a bit, he was tremendous.

The fact that they close some rather major streets for it, like Las Vegas Blvd, otherwise known as "The Strip", might have something to do with it. And, Vegas. Nothing really gets happening until late night.

I was surprised. Trumpy was back first. I let him in. I brought out the sardines he didn't finish but he preferred the Whiskas.
Perfect. The dog Ralphy is horrible to feed.
Anyways, I went across the room and saw Snowflake in the window. Let her in. She didn't care for leftover sardines.
I think it's the temperature.
Anyways, cats are in the house at freaking...

Of course, it helped that he'd pigged out not long before catching it. It's just his nature, I suppose, to hunt like that. He hadn't even started to chow down, just wanted in at the time. *shrug*
