Lonely Man Cafe

KaiwanShabangreen.jpg
Pairs well with this theme
Kaiwan Shaban

Deaf senior dog lived beside dangerous freeway, whose cars she could not hear, and was rescued. A nice happy ending -- the deafness was due to a viral infection and was cured.

Little girl's best friend is a rescue wombat.

Don't mess with Goose Dad.

Greyhound gets all the other dogs at the park to get the zoomies.

Cutest little dog <visits the classroom.
I don't know if I buy the text. Not only is there a lot of AI, but people also make up the most emotionally-charged stories to make the videos go viral. Either way it's a super-cute dog.

Dog enjoys the snow.

Helping a sea turtle return to the sea.

Dog enjoys a public fountain.

Dog wants more skritches.

This better not be AI.

The irony is that they only way to achieve this goal unless you're a highly skilled tradesman is either to stumble into it accidentally or to commit murder.

Because if anyone else knows it's there, it's not a secret - so it can't be a selling point (the seller would know) and you c't have it built (the builder would know). So you have to build it yourself - entirely by yourself, no aid at all from anyone - or get lucky or be a murderer...

In John O'Hara's novel The Lockwood Concern, George Lockwood has his house built with a secret circular staircase only he knows how to access. At the end of the book, his wife is away, he trips going down the stairs and is fatally injured from the fall. As he's dying, he realizes no one will be able to find him.

Breaking: Two people have just been shot by Border Patrol during an immigration operation in Portland, Ore. Anti-ICE accounts have circulated screenshots alleging that a 911 dispatcher leaked to them information about a call for police assistance.
The call log also shows a 911 call from Border Patrol stated that a husband and wife who were shot almost ran the agent(s) over. ABC News is reporting that the shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue.

@DHSgov
At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.

Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene.

This situation is evolving and more information is forthcoming.

Circa 1980, I had a job delivering furniture. One delivery was to a mansion under construction in Potomac, MD. We lifted the furniture up to a concealed party room in the attic through an opening in the ceiling, which was to be sealed over afterwards. One of the strangest deliveries I recall.

DHS,
"At 2:19 PST, US Border Patrol agents were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. The passenger of the vehicle and target is a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and involved in a recent shooting in Portland. The vehicle driver is believed to be a member of the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. When agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants, the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.

“Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene. This situation is evolving and more information is forthcoming.”

Had to look up what the hell Armenian even sounds like because I had no idea. I still pretty much have no idea.

When our daughter was in high school, she was told the house in which I grew up and the house across the street (both interesting and unique old places) were connected by a secret tunnel.

Mentioned that to my older sister recently and she was surprised. "You didn't know about that?" I teased.

There was a great crawl space under our house, which my brother and I liked to explore, but it just stayed under our house.

“Just one day after the horrific murder in Minneapolis, I received reports that two people in my district were shot by federal immigration officials this afternoon in East Portland. Both individuals are alive, but we do not know the extent of their injuries.

“ICE has done nothing but inject terror, chaos, and cruelty into our communities. Trump’s immigration machine is using violence to control our communities—straight out of the authoritarian playbook. ICE must immediately end all active operations in Portland.

“I will share more updates as they become available. I am demanding full accountability and transparency. I encourage our community to stay calm and show courage in this moment. We must allow our local law enforcement to do its work. There must be a comprehensive investigation without Trump’s interference.”

252 Wales gets a bad rap, because for them, W and Y are always vowels. They're not consonants.

Imagine if some other language decided that I and E were consonants, not vowels, and then said "Lol English doesn't have any vowels".

You'd be, like, "The hell, dude, we have the exact right number of vowels".

Welsh doesn't even really do consonant clusters, either. If you replaced W with OO and Y with EE, you'd say Welsh had a ridiculous number of vowels, instead.

Poor Welsh.

At least you're not Irish. Those fuckers barely even know what letters are.

In construction of large buildings there are oftentimes voids in the walls where stray/wild animals may seek refuge in and get boarded up eventually dying and stinking up the place. Ripping out some and it's not hard to find the cavity the critter died in.

302 Street preacher was praying against demons when BOOM the skateboard cracked the nose of a bad man.

We were in NOLA several summers ago and our grandson, age 4yrs, started talking about a "bad man." Because the fire alarm went off in the hotel at 3am (twice) by pranksters and we had to evacuate. We explained that it was a bad person doing this as he asked, but not a huge deal.

The next day anytime he heard a car alarm on the street, he said it was the "bad man." Otherwise seemed unconcerned.

Leaving and going to our gate at the airport, he saw two police escorting a lovely couple in cuffs and told my husband they caught the "bad man." We assume he got closure.

The man messing with the street preacher seemed to get some closure and a few loose teeth.

USA Facts
How many civilian federal government jobs are located in Oregon?
Updated monthly

In part, "About 28,400, as of July 2025. Federal jobs include work in a wide range of occupations, including roles as janitors, scientists, accountants, postal workers, elected officials, and many more. While enlisted troops are considered to be employed by the government, they are not considered civilians, and thus are not included in this figure. Federal jobs represent 1.4% of all nonfarm jobs in the state. That’s about 1 in 70. The state accounts for 0.97% of the 2.93 million federal jobs nationwide."

Guess I will wander down to the basement saloon and watch Ole Miss vs Miami. While I despise Miami and am not fond of Ole Miss, I will hope they beat Miami.

I was, after all, at Ole Miss for two solid weeks my junior year of college. Then left because my friend was leaving for reasons I won't get into in this box. I am sure my parents were alarmed when I showed up one evening with my big trunk of belongings and my car. My father, bless him, said, "You realize I have lost 20% of your tuition, right?" I told him sweetly, "That's not too bad, Daddy!" I seriously did not think it was that bad.

Always the optimist. My father probably wanted to kill me but didn't. He was so thrilled to give me away in marriage years later!
