Thursday Night's ONT is Fried
Heidy-ho neighborinos! I'm baaaack! A lot of you have been asking me where I was last week (full disclosure: Nobody has asked me this. Whenever you hear me say “A lot of people have *whatever*”, it's just a feeble attempt to seem relevant or a desperate cry for attention from my pathetic ego). I'm glad you asked. I was exploring Canada's arctic in the Northwest Territories. Here's a picture I took while floating down the crystal clear Hay River under skies that would make Montana jealous:
Love That Chicken
Did you know that today is National Fried Chicken Day? Well it is. I fried chicken for dinner, did you? If not, why not? Y'know, it's people like you ignoring the cultural heritage that makes America great that really tick me off. Get with the program Skippy!
The Program
Meme Wars! Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that an all out meme war has broken out between CNN and the Autistic Army of 4Chan and Reddit. Frankly, I don't give a fig for CNN's chances. Below is a collection of some of the best memes so far (WARNING: At about 4 minutes Alex Jones starts talking, so if you've already had your daily recommended allowance of crazy, stop there).
Ahh, the finer things in life. It is important that one stop to savor them when they occur. Like this pleasant little walk down memory lane:

Here's a fun little quiz. Basically, what you have to do is draw each of the states freehand, from memory, using your mouse or I suppose your touch screen if you're on a tablet. The drawing is then scaled, compared to the actual state borders, and you're given a letter grade. It also takes your states as drawn and makes a map of the country from them. It's harder (and surprisingly, more entertaining) than it looks. What grade did you get for your home state? I got a B+ for Maryland.
Musical Interlude Boats 'n Hoes! From the movie Step Brothers (NSFW)
Problematic Cars, Highways, Internet, Films Represent ‘Spacial Structures of Privilege’ Ahhh, bullshit. Naturally, this is a college course at UCLA, for which students can earn a “diversity credit”. Higher education is nothing but a racket anymore. I have no idea what I've going to do when Little graduates high school. I'm honestly considering not sending him to college (unless maybe he gets into Hillsdale). He'd probably be better off in a trade, but even realizing that I have to fight my upper middle class bias against not having my kids go to college.

Department of Duh! Shortage of eligible men has left women taking desperate steps to preserve their fertility, experts say Maybe spending generations denigrating men and marginalizing them wasn't such a good idea, huh? The article focuses on the question of mismatched education levels, but I know several women who are personally devastated because they drank the feminist lib Kool-Aid and missed their window for kids. One of Gingy's good friends is now forty. She's a lib who bought into the whole “You can have it all” superwoman crap, and her focus on her career has led her to this point in her life, childless and likely to stay that way. It's a shame, because she does desperately want a husband and kids, but the whole “Later, focus on YOU and your career now” attitude has ruined that for her. It's a damn shame.
Bonus Quiz! I'd like your opinion on something. Take a look at the map linked here. (The triangles are traffic islands, I forgot to label them) You're traveling NW on Oak St. You plan to turn left onto Elm. There is an accident at the intersection, and the cops and vehicles are located as outlined on the map. There is nobody directing traffic anywhere. Do you proceed to point A and turn left, or to point B? I'd like to know, because a cop hassled me for the option I chose. Ultimate he let me go with a growl and a warning, but I still think I was right. Tonight's ONT brought to you by poor choices in acronyms:

National Fried Chicken Day. Nom, Nom, Nom. Unfortunately it's too late here at my house to do it honor. We always seem to find out about these holidays on the ONT. I may need to start looking these things up in the morning and posting them on the EMT so the 'rons and 'ettes have time to celebrate if they so chose.

2. I can't fry chicken to save my life. Tried multiple times I always get greasy chicken. No matter the temp I do it at. So I half-ass fake fry it, meaning I bread it with breadcrumbs, pan fry it until golden and then bake it to finish.
3. I will never get over that Hillary supporter election night video. It is music to my soul. It feeds my evil heart.
And that is as far as I got.

Technically, north of 60 isn't "arctic", which starts at 66 degrees north. Hay River is well inside the Boreal Forest Zone, and polar bears would be as out of place there as would a grizzly bear on an ice floe off Spitzbergen.

Just back from two weeks in Norway. Interesting country. Very lovely. Fjords are nifty. Bergan, not bad. Oslo, definitely a stopover not destination save the Viking Ships, Kon-Tiki and WWII Resistance museums, which are very nifty. Excellent sea food to be had of course. Whale, which I have had in Japan, was better. Muzzies, fewer than expected, most looked sad and lonely, obviously needing a couple of vodka martinis and a dance with a cute nordic girl. No jihadi beards at all - interestingly got off the plane in DC coming home to have 3 jihadi beards in the jetway pushing wheelchairs... speaking of cute nordic girls, all true and more... if I was single I'd arrange for a TDY or sabbatical there... HOT ladies in hot weather, Daisy's and minis the norm... English is universal...
Pride week or wtf it was on in Oslo... very flamboyant. Mostly French tops with their twink bottoms and hamplanet dykes with rare lipstick lesbian sightings. So sterotypical in their presentations they have become uniforms, badges of entry and unconscious self parodies all at once. Rude shit heads for the most part. And the only time I have seen more trash thrown down was an Obama event. Really, very much old angry bitter queens, twinks, and screeching smelly harridans.
May go back next year, cruise the fjords up to the arctic zone... but avoid the Pride event zone.
If you are in the area, go see three museums noted above, well worth it. The Norwegian Resistance story is fascinating, and not well known to me at all.

Yesterday, her friend Roni took Joyce out for several hours:
"Here's a quick report from today's outing with Joyce. (We're leaving the adventure to Jessie, and the socializing to me! ) Today we had an old fashioned girls' day out- shopping in the Villages followed by lunch at TooJays. While eating her delicious chopped liver sandwich and potato latkes, Joyce was already asking, "When can we come back?" (I told her that if she's going to put pastrami on wheat bread with mayo, I may not be able to watch!)..
Love you, Joyce! Never a complaint uttered, just sheer pleasure and gratitude."
Joyce has such amazing friends.
(And I apologized to Roni on behalf of our family for mayo and wheat bread with pastrami)

WD, my daughter will graduate a year from December with a Nursing degree (4.5 years even though she took and killed enough AP and Honors classes to get out of 24 hours of Gen Ed. Grrr.)
Anyhoo, she will be working 3 12s a week, leaving her ample free time. Pretty sure I have convinced her to train to be an Electrician as well in her off hours. Her husband to be is a high end diesel mechanic, so no stigma.

regulations regarding mandatory bilingualism in public announcements?
--------
It's an ad from the Nova Scotia government (or a private agency)not the feds; and even fed ads are unilingual they just have separate English and French ones. You're thinking about all laws, govt brochures, web pages etc. have to have versions for both languages. Ontario and New Brunswick (Manitoba too?) have it as well.
Addendum: I just Binged it to see if it was private and they've since changed it to ISANS!

I haven't thought about It's A Beautiful Day in years. A friend had their self-titled debut album back in college, and we listened to it frequently. I never bought it myself and I don't think I've heard it since then.
Fortunately, nowadays we have YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEe03e9wnpU
This is truly one of the no-shit great albums of the 60s.
From Wikipedia:
The band was almost invited to play at Woodstock. When Michael Lang was negotiating with Bill Graham to get the Grateful Dead to appear, Graham insisted Lang put one of two acts that he managed on the bill. Lang then listened to a tape of both It's a Beautiful Day and the other band and liked them so much that he couldn't decide so he flipped a coin and It's a Beautiful Day lost. The band that won was Santana, who became stars overnight.

Oh, and Norway in general and Oslo in particular is fucking expensive. Worse than Zürich imo. There are some nice hotel bargins if you look hard. Food, even eating out of the shops is high. Find a hotel with a killer free breakfast and stock up. Booze in the stores, not too bad. Local goods, not too bad. Transport, trolley passes high, cabs not too bad. Overall some of the highest taxes in the world.

Just back from two weeks in Norway. Interesting country. Very lovely. Fjords are nifty. Bergan, not bad. Oslo, definitely a stopover not destination save the Viking Ships, Kon-Tiki and WWII Resistance museums, which are very nifty. Excellent sea food to be had of course. Whale, which I have had in Japan, was better. Muzzies, fewer than expected, most looked sad and lonely, obviously needing a couple of vodka martinis and a dance with a cute nordic girl. No jihadi beards at all - interestingly got off the plane in DC coming home to have 3 jihadi beards in the jetway pushing wheelchairs... speaking of cute nordic girls, all true and more... if I was single I'd arrange for a TDY or sabbatical there... HOT ladies in hot weather, Daisy's and minis the norm... English is universal...
Pride week or wtf it was on in Oslo... very flamboyant. Mostly French tops with their twink bottoms and hamplanet dykes with rare lipstick lesbian sightings. So sterotypical in their presentations they have become uniforms, badges of entry and unconscious self parodies all at once. Rude shit heads for the most part. And the only time I have seen more trash thrown down was an Obama event. Really, very much old angry bitter queens, twinks, and screeching smelly harridans.
May go back next year, cruise the fjords up to the arctic zone... but avoid the Pride event zone.
If you are in the area, go see three museums noted above, well worth it. The Norwegian Resistance story is fascinating, and not well known to me at all.

Not too far down the crazy matrix, but definitely far down the indoctrination matrix (except for one time she covered her ears and said "LALALALALA" when I tried to tell her something about Obama. Really. A grown woman. I would have been lest flabbergasted if she'd thrown off her clothes and started to blow me.). Lib down the line except from a strong catholic family so personally pro life. She had a conservative bf who we all liked for a year or so a while back, we all thought she'd turned the corner but she abruptly dumped him. Said he was an alcoholic. Big tits, hot body for a 40 YO. Doubt you could flip her though, the lib runs deep (parents are both college professors).

Pepe, well worth it, if well planned ahead. Do the Oslo thing in 2 days, take the train from Oslo to Bergan (7 hours across the central mountain range) do Bergan and hop a cruise up to the northern Fjords.
Both Oslo and to a lesser extend Bergan are very walkable and you can get into true local areas easily to/from attractions. Very nice folks, helpful without being chatty. Beautiful plumage.
Can get from Oslo to Denmark or Sweden easily and cruise to St. Petersburg, former USSR slave states easily too. Easy traveling and not overrun with hipster douchebags at all much to my surprise.

Depends on the real life situation on the ground. Going by the pic, it looks like going to 'A' would be ok, but if there are cops and tow truck drivers walking around in that area, they will probably get pissed if you just drive in between them.
Even if not, depending on how things looked, I might not want to drive into the middle of "their" area.
Of course, driving to 'B' and making a sketchy left from there might be a problem as well, especially if there's lots of traffic and making that move would interfere with the flow.

shibumi's life Thursday: Old gig boss notes "yeah, I've overspent this year, everything is on hold." So... the subtext is 'screw you shibumi and don't even think of asking for a raise.'
For the first time ever, old gig boss is only in the office maybe 10 days a month, and if he's overspent, its becuse he's given me his stuff to cover, since he is either always at a convention or on vacation. He's now so overwhelmed he thinks he's told me things he hasn't, and gets really pissed if I say "no, you didn't."

Solace in that, yes. And in endlessly hating Sarah Palin.
I remember 2008, and from whence the very worst of the psychotic shrieking Palin hatred had emanated. From that specific demographic.
They'd been told that if they prioritized higher education and career development, ultimately they'd be on top of the world, and would have their pick, and would end up with the hot husband and the gaggle of kids.
Well, no. And there was no small lingering bitterness.
Then along comes SP, who inverted the prescribed timetable.
Someone who snared the hot husband and had the gaggle of kids, and who only then launched what was, up till Old Man Yells At Clouds and his campaign staff of Democratic operatives sabotaged it, a meteoric career.

Not too far down the crazy matrix, but definitely far down the indoctrination matrix (except for one time she covered her ears and said "LALALALALA" when I tried to tell her something about Obama. Really. A grown woman. I would have been lest flabbergasted if she'd thrown off her clothes and started to blow me.). Lib down the line except from a strong catholic family so personally pro life. She had a conservative bf who we all liked for a year or so a while back, we all thought she'd turned the corner but she abruptly dumped him. Said he was an alcoholic. Big tits, hot body for a 40 YO. Doubt you could flip her though, the lib runs deep (parents are both college professors).
Posted by: Weirddave at July 06, 2017 10:27 PM (CTvSA)
She can be flipped. Women naturally seek to follow a man in their life, if they lead instead of acting like an estrogen filled fag.
She sounds intelligent and borderline autistic as well. Probably likes quiet time, being told what to do by a man, and non degenerate behavior. Also, rebelling against her parents would make her panties wet. Oh and wants kids with good genes, but not perfect because 40 so must be willing to make a sacrifice here or there..
Just an initial assessment. I've made a post it note and stuck it on the fridge. Will seek an update in a couple of months.
Glad to see you are back with the great Weirddave ONT that I love. Canada must have treated you well!

I had a girlfriend in college who was gorgeous, a model and an aspiring actress (not humblebragging, I was way over my head), but she was always looking for the bigger and better deal. So things didn't work out.
Fast forward a couple decades. Inexplicably, somehow, we'd remained in touch, and she visited us after the birth of the younger Guevara.
She took him in her arms, and I thought her heart would break, as mine was close to doing, because it was clear that she'd have given ANYTHING to have had a baby of her own, but it wasn't going to happen.

Aren't Norwegians the best and nicest people, except when they drink they can act like the Irish. I was engaged to a Norwegian in college, parents literally off the boat with grandparents. She looked Swedish and would get pissed off and fighting mad when people asked if she was a Swede. A couple of years later, I had a smoking hot roommate who was the youngest of 5 girls and was Norwegian. She was blonde and looked the Norway part.
So I love Norway. If things go south in court, Norway is an option for me. I'll make it happen.

I pretty much have hated working, for the most part, and have tried to spend the majority of my life minimizing the amount of time I have to do it.
The concept of setting aside things I want to do, truly value and enjoy so that I can focus on something that they literally have to bribe me with money to do seems entirely foreign to me.
I have always been infinitely more likely to say "I'm putting off getting serious about working right now to focus on fishing, drinking high-end liquor and having sex with marginally attractive women."
I guess I'm just weird that way.

Yeah, I saw it too after I was widowed. Started to date a very nice woman (no kids), we got along well and all signs were positive EXCEPT she decided that helping raise my two littlest ones would negatively impact her career and she simply didn't have it in her.
Okay, it's cool but I was a package deal - shook hands, said goodbye - you know, no foul, sorry it didn't work out sort of thing.
Ran into her a few years ago at the grocery. I asked her 'How's life' or some such. Burst into tears, blubbered she f**ked up, chose poorly and had an wildly successful career but still an empty life.
What could I tell her that she hadn't already learned?

The Viking Ship museum has three ships and grave goods. Two are restored, one left as pulled out of the ground. Also cool info on building the ships, and a bit on types, navigation etc. Make sure you take the steps up in each area so you can look down into the ships too.

Yep. It's as I said above, for which I denounce myself again: the prime directive for a woman is to bear and raise children.
The prime directive for a man is to protect and provide for the woman and her children.
Everything - everything - after that is secondary. I don't care if you get eight Nobel Prizes, if you mess that up, either as a man or a woman - you're a failure.

Eastern European gals are smokin' as we've discussed before.
There was this stereotype of them looking fat and ugly, which is far from the truth, and I was wondering where that came from. It was maybe the Soviet bloc days where they'd put up these men in drag or women OD'd on steroids on the women's teams in the Olympics.
Czech girls are the bomb. Hungarians, too. They all are. Hell, about 50% of the top models are Eastern European descent. Melania is but one example.

I saw a billboard one day with a picture of a pregnancy test with a positive sign on it and the caption "The One Test You Hope Your Child Never Fails".
As I continued my drive to work while sipping on convenience store coffee, it really occurred to me that we teach children that having kids is a bad thing. We show them movies on how being pregnant will ruin their lives, cheat them out of a career, cheat them out of college, etc.
We make them carry a doll around or an egg all week to show what a pain in the ass having a kid is. We teach them how to successfully have sex without having the two dreaded side effects (STDs and Children).
But the truth is, at 45, the only damned thing that I even care about is my daughter. I could give a damn about my job, diploma, the trips I took or anything else. Ask any decent human being the most important thing in their life and they will tell you that it's their kids.
But we don't teach them that. We teach them that they can have "fur babies" or that kids are a headache. Proponents of teachers say "You couldn't pay me enough to deal with kids like those teachers do."
I just don't get it. It's little wonder that we have a generation of self-centered narcissists coming into adulthood now that value the environment, animals, or various social causes as uber-important. We have stripped them, for the most part, of what should naturally most important, God and family, through a concerted series of efforts to denigrate those core values.

Many years ago when I was pregnant with my first child, a female OB pointedly asked me what my plans were once my baby was born.
I gave her the narrative of the day: I can work and raise my child. No problem.
The OB said : everyone will tell you can do it all and I guarantee you'll ruin your life trying.
Thank God I listened to her advice.

A wise doc indeed. Back in the day, I faced a bifurcation as to whether to play baseball professionally, or go into chemistry. I decided I was a better chemist than a baseball player (notwithstanding that I'd dreamed of being a chemist since I was nine). So ... baseball went over the side.
Bottom line: to pursue some avenues, others have to be foreclosed.

From one of my favorite Stones songs, "She's So Cold":
Who would believe you were a beauty indeed
When the days get shorter and the nights get long
Lie awake when the rain comes
Nobody will know, when you're old
When you're old, nobody will know
That you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty
A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold

Poor Cold War-era combloc agriculture and nutrition may have weighed in, as it were.
A Hungarian woman at a party back in mumblety-five was showing around a photo of what I took to be her with her much older, shorter, frailer mom.
Nope. It was her older sister. Who was of an age to have had to live through Communist mismanagement of the farms, and the resulting shortages of things like dairy products.

Fertilized eggs can be used whenever. They are trying to freeze Unfertilized eggs ( new procedure) when she finds a man that she wants kids they use his sperm with but they don't know the long term effects.

By teaching women that it's wrong to want babies in your early twenties, we've encouraged them to spend far too long with losers and users. They're embarrassed to admit that they want marriage and kids, so they can't convince themselves to dump a guy who isn't able to provide that. Instead, they create this lie that he has "potential" in order to excuse staying in the relationship.

I'm trying to remember one of the stories. I don't think it was either of my grandmothers (both born in the mid 1890s) but either their sisters or younger aunts.
Anyway, whoever it was was very pregnant and it was cotton picking time. She was weighing cotton. That is, the hands would pick a bag full, then bring it back to be weighed, and they would be paid via the total weight they picked.
Anyway, her water broke while she was doing that, and she just kept going and finished the batch, then ambled back off in the house and spit out the kid. She was back at work the next day.

My brother loves his adopted boys like they are his. And his grandchild too, who is not biologically related to us. Tell that to his proud grandpa.
Human beings are capable of rising above what is "biologically determined." If you go by the animal kingdom, men shouldn't give a shit for their offspring whether biologically theirs or not.

I've motorcycled 39 states, covering over 300,000 miles in the logbooks. But never wore all the "biker" apparel. Even my f**ing expensive Hein Gerke three-season leather jacket doesn't have one single chain, buckle, cop-profile offset-double-breasted-button-front cut to it.
But I'm not an Indian.
So, I'm 3/4 of the Village People, but I'm straighter than the absent Indian's arrow, with 0% gay DNA in my composition.
Oh, and I can't dance my way out of a wet paper bag.

I'm not saying I was completely blameless in this; I was a little bit of a punk when I was a kid. I'm just saying that they never felt the same connection to me that they would've toward their own children, so they were just incapable of bonding with me and straightening me out.
Again, I'm not putting all the blame on them for this; I'm just saying they didn't have that emotional drive to straighten me out in an understanding and compassionate way, like a real dad would. They just kind of laid down the law and punished me harshly for deviating from it in any way, which didn't do much for my attitude problems.

I have had the opportunity to help raise 7 kids, none my own. Adopted 2 of them. Never had any biospawn.
Some helping other family members, some with ladies I was with.
Loved everyone of them, miss everyone of them, never thought of them as anything other than my responsibility as the man in their life at the time.
Wish I had done better by them. Although the two I adopted, 1 is AF Academy graduate rocket scientist and her twin sis is a history/theology/coaching sports grad that volunteers as a teacher to at risk kids. So they managed. The others... I did not have the maturity to maintain a relationship with them when their moms and I parted ways. I regret the pain they lived through, deeply, deeply. I wasn't good enough to know how to step up and do right.
Current GF of 3.5 months has two, have not met them yet as we are taking things slow, not being retarded, I mean 17, anymore. We are both fine with that. If things continue and I hope and expect they will I will end up being some sort of male influence in their lives I expect - and hope.

Oh, I dunno. Big is mine, I bought him when I adopted him. My choice. I've never abused him (although once I grabbed him and threatened to put him through a wall, but that was because he was being a teenager, not because he wasn't blood). I suppose it's all in how you look at the situation. For me it was: here's my soulmate, she comes with a kid. Well, I guess I have a kid now.
But I know I look at things differently. When I first spoke to my birth mom, my first words to her were "Hey, I haven't seen you in 35 years, what you been up to?". I introduced her to my mom as mom. "Mom, meet mom. Mom, mom". I still call them both mom, because both of them are. Things just are what they are, deal with them in the best way possible.

Indeed, a succession of them.
I bought my first GL-1100-I (Gold Wing Interstate), when I was 22 years old. It was a 1982 model. I bought it with 4k miles on it, in 1983.
Rode to Gold Wing Rally, and people were asking me what I was doing on my Dad's bike.
What they didn't know.
I'd come up in Southern CA in the '60s & '70s, through minibikes, a Hodaka Ace 100, Yamaha RD-350, Suzuki Titan 500, Honda CX-500 and a few others forgotten to the mists of time.
I had purged all of the motocross, road racing, high performance and crazy-ass biking out of my system, and just wanted to ride, tour and see the country from a comfy saddle and behind a cozy fairing and windshield.
Which I did. And shall do, again.
And for the "again" thing....there WILL BE an over-forty-foot sailboat in my future, sooner or later.
That'll be my retirement home.
If I do it right, it'll also be my Viking Funeral Home. Might need a fearless Moron or two to make that last one happen, but I'm sure Unka Palp will line you guys up with Glories in Valhalla if you help a bruddah out.....say, thirty or forty years from now?

From an evolutionary point of view, it makes sense for a woman to find a man that will look after all of her offspring. Provided that the prior offspring is few and that the woman is still capably of many times that vis a vis fertility, it would give incentive to the male to demonstrate the desired traits of a father and husband before the deal is sealed.

I looked this up, and here's one of the studies:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11927705/
Children living in homes with "adults unrelated to them" are over 8 times as likely to die from abuse as children living with both biological parents.
It's broken down futher. The risk for children living with step, foster, and even adoptive parents is higher as well, but not 8 times.
This risk was not increased for children living with just one bio parent vs both.

They are raised to believe in the myth of their parents' wonderfulness and to think that they are "obligated' to follow in their footsteps. "Daddy or Mommy would have wanted me to continue their work of bring enlightened policies to the benighted rabble."
They don't see themselves as dicks at all. That's important to realize. They see themselves as very good, as privileged people who are "trying to give back to the community" by pushing progressive politics down everyone's throat.

I don't think it's a question of wanting to bond, or not. A blood relation is different because one can usually see himself (or his wife) in a natural child - from looks, to personality to all sorts of quirks that arise out of ones genetic expression. This is not something that one gets to choose. It just is. And it certainly affects the relationship, whether consciously or not.
Non-biological relations can be extremely close (even closer than many blood relations) but there is still a huge difference between blood relations and others, due to the traits, looks, actions, personalities, etc. shared by blood.

I remember this from my youth. Lonely girls with empty lives of secrets, petty social drama, phones, and distant or shitty parents. They want someone to love, and to love them.
I know this because I married one. What kind of teenage girl cries herself to sleep at night because she wants a baby?
A sad one.

Interestingly, it appears that another adult relative not the parent in the household also increases the risk a little.

I was objectively speaking pretty cute until mid-30's. My older sister was the "the bomb" although she never thought so. (I know that some beautiful women really don't know they are beautiful, because I know my sister. She would be fretting about her hair or something while getting ready for a date, and I'd be sitting there in awe, wishing I would look so glamorous one day . I say that to her now and she rolls her eyes and says "Yeah, sure. Don't be so stupid." )
But the Eastern European gene is a vicious one. You can eat all sorts of crap until you are 30 -35, not exercise at all, drink like a fish - and you're fine in your 20's. Somewhere between 30-35 suddenly, if you don't start watching it you can become a babushka overnight. Sis had no weight issues until she became pregnant at 35 and blew up like a Michelin balloon. She lost the weight but it has been a battle since then. Same with me.

It just struck me, that you could make on hell of an income, by simply "matchmaking" between the various Eastern European "marriage" sites, and their prospective customer/husbands here in the States.
You just profile the hell out of the particular U.S. gent, and then "match" him, with say, the top three prospects from the various regions of which you have extensive knowledge.
I have the feeling that your instinct as to the ladies' tempers, passions, intellects, ambitions, drive to social-climb (or not), sexuality and other qualities, would result in a rather high "accuracy rate", thus ever increasing your value in the marketplace.
Pity though. Your bride would not be approving of what you might consider to be valid "Quality Control" measures as to the prospective "brides" in question.

Not many "liberated" women will admit it, but we are biologically programmed to find a husband and make babies, and then raise them. It's something we are pretty good at, given the right attitude and backing.
My mom hated kids, all five of us, but she's fine with us now. Of course, she's going senile too, and has forgotten what a pain in the ass we were, but she still made sure we were fed, clothed, housed, educated and disciplined. It is just how we are wired.
Lots of women don't think so, until they do, sometime around the first hot flash.

They have to be in the water to work. You might have one in the bilge to protect metal parts in the engine room, but outside, there is likely to be one on the prop shaft, and strut (if fitted), and on the rudder. If it's a metal keel, one there, too.

Unfortunately, if they are at all industrious and make enough money to pull their weight, even though they still live with you and use your many facilities (like food, hot water, living space, electricity, etc., etc.,) they cannot be used as tax deductions.

You also have a zinc below the waterline, bolted directly onto the propeller shaft.
Attend to it, or your propeller will soon resemble the surface of the moon.
The engine zincs will be found as follows:
Two on the lower midsection of the engine block.
Two on the heat exchanger.
IIRC, both are 9/16 bolt heads, and you need to be ready to INSTANTLY "plug the holes" when you pull each bolt. Two will gush engine oil, and the other two will gush coolant.
Then, the actual "zincs" on those, are 3/8" diameter, threaded rods, that screw into a female socket on the backside of the same bolt you removed to access the zinc.
Take your exact engine specs and serial # to your local marine store (West Marine, etc.). They'll sell you the right zincs.
For the one on the prop-shaft?
Your marina's bottom-cleaning diver changes those out, damn near every day. Ask him the price of his fee, and pay it.

A direct, eloquent, and pugnacious declaration of intent to prevail in the "clash of civilizations".
Perfect setting, perfect timing. Poland its former Warsaw Pact brethren in eastern Europe are locked in a test of wills with a lost, stumbling, foolish western Europe.
It's actually not completely accurate to say that Dubya and his team never touched on this theme (it's just that the mosque-stalking and "religion 'o peace" stuff is seared, seared into everyone's memories). But this was the most aggressive speech, not focused primarily on post-9/11 security issues, since 9/11.

I agree. If the cops didn't want people going to point A they would have blocked that part of the road. The default in all such cases is to stay closest to the normal flow of traffic unless otherwise blocked or redirected.

Exactly right. Just move away legally from the mess and the police and then decide how best to detour back towards your destination. There's a lot of unpredictability especially as to how the tow truck will move.
In fact, I suspect the tow truck was why you got rebuked, because your going to A upset the area of control that the local cops had set up as they were handling the accident - comparable to somebody getting into your personal space.

But the normal flow of traffic was to A and it looks to have been illegal to make a left at B, normally.
If the cops didn't want anyone going to A then they should have parked on of their cars blocking that road or put a cone down or something. I'm sure there were cones around, either in one of the cop cars or on the tow truck or something.
But the cops certainly had no right to ticket anyone for following the normal traffic patterns if nothing indicated differently.

Why?
First off Ariana being a psychic strong enough to fight off the mental will of a vampire queen who has been sitting on the golden throne for fifty years. Not buying it, making this character far too powerful so soon.
Second reason? I can forgive Mercedes Lackey's Diana kinda falling for a hunky vampire in Children of the Night because that was the first time I encountered that trope. Laura K. Hamilton thoroughly ruined that trope from ever having any kind of appeal for me ever again. So to see it here with Quil, moving right along to conclusions.
I just hope I am avoiding these kinds of pitfalls when writing my Tanya stories. Of course I am avoiding any mention of vampires so far, still if Tanya encounters one I'm for sure going to not let any Harlequin Blood-Sucker Romance happen.

My final map looked surprisingly accurate -- but they don't give you an overall grade (they really oughta, to make it more satisfying). The hard part was getting my mental image onto paper -- I usually could see the state's outline in my mind, but struggling with the trackpad to create that shape is tough for me (I'm not much of an artist). Overall, I'm happy with my result.

I did better than I expected also, but got bored with it after 12-15 states and lost interest so didn't see the map.

Has anyone ever written a vampire fantasy novel in which the vampire gets AIDS from sucking the blood of an HIV+ gay person? That'd be funny. But then again, since vampires don't die, maybe AIDS would be of no concern to them. That itself would be an interesting plot -- how would an otherwise immortal vampire deal with contracting crippling/fatal infectious diseases?

Hey, you guys have just come up with a great idea for a trendy horror/political fiction book:
Combine the classic horror-monsters with a modern political setting, au courant to right now, and have the antipathy between the monster "races" be based on their political leanings.
I propose:
zombies are progressives
vampires are conservatives
werewolves are alt-right
gremlins are anarchists
mummies are paleo-cons
etc.
Have them actually volunteering for real-world political campaigns, etc.

Have you seen the crap spewed by this Linda Sarsour about bringing jihad to the US? I was looking at her twitter crapola and she has a photo there of herself that makes her look very much like a man in drag. She wears a ton of makeup, and, well, I guess the question begs itself. I know she pushed that stupid pussy-hat march, and she thinks she's a woman, but I have my doubts.
Anybody else have any info?

Long ago made the personal decision that some foods are far better done by places that specialize in them and do it hundreds of times daily, for years. At least that's what works for me.
Examples are fried chicken, pizza, candy, wings, egg rolls, French fries, sushi and sashimi, etc.
Now, if someone wants seafood pasta, steak au poivre, Thai beef salad, baked oysters in garlic sauce, shrimp in green curry sauce, etc. that is more in my wheelhouse.

The draw-the-states thing is annoying. To get a good grade you have GUESS what random scale they want it in. It probably has to do with putting together the final map of your drawings, but it would be nice if they'd give you a grid so you'd know the scale.
I drew a goddam perfect Commiefornia and got an F.
I got an F for Indiana just because I forgot to close the lines, so it registered as a big blob.
I got a C+ for my home state, again purely due to my failing to guess what scale they wanted it in. And just f--k Hawaii. F--k Hawaii sideways with a pineapple, those impossible to draw bastards.
I figured out about halfway through, you can just draw a damn rectangle for most of the states, especially west of the Mississippi, and pull a B or B+, whereas if you put any effort into it, you'll do worse.

No one really knows. States can't declare bankruptcy.
Let me cancel that. I know what exactly will happen here. The Illinois Supreme Court will take it upon themselves to lord over us. The ISC will try and direct everything.

Apparently Billy Crystal ad-libed most of his lines, and he had the cast and crew laughing so hard that it actually interrupted filming. Mandy Patinkin literally busted a gut holding in his laughter.
I've never seen The Princess Bride and I don't think I ever will. Yes, yes, I know it's supposed to be wonderful, funny, heartwarming and all that. But I automatically put up walls when I hear people raving over something and telling me I must see it. I don't like being stampeded.
And yes, I know I have often told people they "must" see such-and-such a movie or read such-and-such a book. I'm a hypocrite.
And I'm rambling because this is going to be a very long day and I don't want to start working.

I do too. We have seen municipalities declare bankruptcy. IIRC, there was a city in CA that do a few years back and maybe Detroit has or is near to it (Idk. Can't remember), but an entire state? Pensions, utilities, police protection are the first to go. Then what happens? Or will IL be shielded from all of it by the Feds and suffer no direct consequences entirely? I don't see how that is possible

The ILC has already mandate payments that more than equal what the state takes in in taxes every month.
What is going to hurt is when the ILC mandates more than state can borrow and Moodys has already threatened to downgrade Illinois bonds to junk status despite this new round of tax hikes.

I'm trying to follow your line of thought here, but I shouldn't be wide awake and it's proving to be hard. Does being downgraded by Moody's translate to the state be unable to borrow money any longer? If that is the case, how does that translate into real world consequences?

What's going on right now is that Illinois is having to borrow money, via bonds, to pay out Court Mandated debt. If and when Illinois bonds are downgraded, again, the rate of payback will be to great.
