Did Somebody Axe for an ONT?
So, I've been outside splitting wood, with an axe. In 90 degree weather with 90% humidity. Tonight's ONT may be a little loopy.
Y'all may remember when those trees came down in a storm in March. Well, better to chop them now than wait until there's a foot of snow on the ground. Besides, it's good exercise. Unless it's raining I do 12-15 logs a day.

Speaking of Smart Death by Entitlement Ace covered this the other day, but what the hell. Couple of mouthbreathing libs set out to bike around the world, trying to prove “Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own.” They biked across Africa and Europe and into Asia. When they got to Tajikistan, 5 members of ISIS hit them with a car, then jumped out and stabbed them to death. I feel bad for them abstractly, being stabbed isn't a fun way to go, but really, how stupid can you be? Reminds me of the girl a couple of years back who wore a wedding dress and walked across Turkey to prove that Muslims were a peaceful people. They found her raped and desecrated body in a ditch. I call people like these “Kumbaya casualties”. They believe in their make-believe fantasy world of unicorns and rainbows over reality. You can (mostly) get away with that in the West. Other places? Yeah, not so much. Here's the last selfie they recovered from their cell phone.
Bird Droppings Newport Beach Bans Electric Scooters After 3 Days This seems like a good idea, particularly in areas where crunchy-granola hippie eco-warrior types abound. I get that there may be some problems, the most glaring one I see is people dumping them all over the place, but seems to me the city should work with the scooter company to resolve them. Nah. Just ban and demand more money in the form of permits and licenses. I'll Take “Shit That Never Happened” for $500 ALex

A Saga Continues:
In a Chinese restaurant in Maryland....
Fu Manchu sits at a table, a stack of
applications in front of him. "Dishwasher? See the manager. This
table is for dirt-dishers. Next."
A large man wearing a cowboy hat steps up. "Name?"
"Taggert."
"Any experience?"
"Well, I once worked for Headly Lamarr."
Fu Manchu gestures and two large Mongolians grab Taggert and drag him away. "Losers need not apply. Next."
A teenager steps up. "Name?"
"Brad."
"Any experience?"
"I'm a student intern at CNN and have been running The Situation Room since Mr. Blitzer went crazy."
"Relevant experience. Have you ever dished the dirt on someone?"
"Well, yeah. I mean, Caitlin who works
with me just gossips all the time and some of it is pretty funny so I
repeat it. I don't know if its true, but if its funny and bad, what's
the harm?"
"You're hired. You'll need a little
training in callous disregard for truth though. See the hostess for the
training materials."
*******************
"Here is the latest on foreign policy.
Mexico is negotiating on trade, China wants to talk about those tariffs -
they may be rethinking a trade war at this point, and Kim Jong-Un
called to thank you for the Estes rocket set, said he never
had one when he was a kid."
"I figured he would. I mean with the goofy
hair you could tell he was just a big kid who fell into the wrong crowd
- doing a little vandalism, some shoplifting, assassinations - he just
needed an outlet for all of that energy."
GorillaPundit looks at Trump and deadpans "Goofy hair...yes sir, that is it. Is there anything else?"
"No, just turn the tv on and put it to the Gorilla Channel. I love watching those apes smack each other around."
"Sir, there is no Gorilla Channel."
"Sure there is - the other night they had
this one on - Maddow was its name - and boy was she really bringing the
smackdown! That ape can swing bigly!"
"Oh right - MSNBC it is."
The TV is turned on and GorillaPundit leaves the office. Trump leans towards the TV and watches in anticipation.
"Governor Cuomo, could you repeat that?"
"America is not great and has never been
great! Slavery, Jim Crow, abuse of women, internments, war, football,
reality shows! America is a real sh*thole!"
"But you're a governor of an important state and want to be president! Why would you want to be president of a sh*thole?"
"Because as governor of New York I am a sh*theel and you need one to run a sh*thole!"
"Oh this is going to be good," Trump whispers. "Just need the next ape to come in and we'll see them fight!"
"Before we get deeper into Gov. Cuomo's
campaign theme of Cuomo 2020: See Clear to a Sh*theel for a Sh*thole we
have further allegations against President Trump...."
Trump pulls back. "Where's the fight? I
want to see some gorilla fight this gorilla. This blows. I wonder
what's on the Crazy Channel?"
He turns to CNN.
"Hi! I'm Caitlin and Mr. Blitzer says that
he's cheese and stands alone so #MeToo can't get him! Brad the dork
isn't here, he's trying to get a paying job so he can get that crappy
Lumina his grandma gave him fixed and he better! He
stills owes me for taking me to that Comic Con and insisting I dress up
as this anime whatever character Sailor Moon! I mean, that's like so
1990's and if that wasn't enough some creep dressed like a furry bear
tried to perv on me, kept saying "jub-jub-jub"!
Brad said it was a real Ewok, I still kicked its *ss!"
Trump snaps his fingers "Of course! That
little guy that I had strapped to the front of the RV back during the
campaign! He'll spice up the Gorilla Channel, get him to fight Cuomo
and maybe Maddow - maybe not until he's had a little training
- she's tough! Hey, one of you guys get Bigly the elephant, I gotta go
find this guy!"

I mentioned on Gab when this came up the other day: While it is good for a snicker, it is only until you imagine their last few minutes.
They did not get this way in a vacuum. They lived in a world where they could imagine a world that did not exist. Someone, somewhere did enough of a number on their threat analysis faculties to make them believe that this was a good idea.
And let's also not forget: this was not a bear or going over Niagara in a barrel- these people, naive though they were, were MURDERED by a group of evil thugs who any of us, I hope, would be happy to put a bullet into.

Well, technically, a "log" is an entire tree trunk, or a long section thereof. What you are splitting are rounds or offcuts. And cutting them lengthwise with a chainsaw would be tedious, at best. You use an axe, and I use an axe, but the best tool for the job (absent a power wood splitter) is a splitting maul.
Heh. Reminds me. In the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin (which is a must-see). there is a farmer-built wood splitter which is basically just a big iron wagon wheel with a splitting wedge welded to the rim. It sits in a frame with an anvil to place the cut wood on, and the wheel is belt-driven off a tractor PTO, at about 30 RPM. User rests the end of a hunk of wood on the anvil, and topples it into the path of the oncoming blade. Ker-thunk! Probably not a job for those who value their fingers.

Last night I got the same three-meat plate at a Dickey's in Long Beach. Got an okay, about-to-be-expected amount of meat.
Tonight I went to the one closest to where I live, which also only opened recently, and that has not-so-great reviews on Google. Anyway I guess the managers at the new Dickey's got wind of the bad word-of-mouth and are trying to improve their rating, because in this one they packed in about TWICE the amount of meat.

I agree that there are predatory parking lots in the area but you should do the research, because the City and the County do want jurors to show up and to serve.

I heat about 80% of my living room in MI with wood. There's a brick hearth with a heatilator, so once it's been cranking for a while I can switch it on and it really is toasty. It's completely useless when the power's out, unfortunately, which is usually during an ice storm, which would be a handy time to have a heat source that doesn't rely on a squirrel cage blower, like the furnace or the heatilator.
Clearly, I occasionally don't always make good decisions about anything ever.

Impressive machine, but i see a few problems. Number one, still requires a lot of hand-wrangling of the wood. Both to feed the rounds into the machine, and to pick up and stack the split wood. If a length of wood gets crosswise in the feed end, you will have to shut down, reach in, and straighten it.
Push the wood through the splitter, and into a receiving chamber, still all close together, and have the machine throw a wrap of twine around to make a bundle, all the same as a hay baler. Then you only have to handle bundles, instead of a dozen times as many split pieces.

When I bought this house the prior owners had some wood stacked in the back. It was blocked but unsplit. I finally got around to renting a wood splitter and did that on a very cold October Saturday. Even though I had the wood in the garage and the splitter just inside it was still colder than a (#@^%.
Nice wood, though. Not sure of the species of hardwood; just that it was nice and dry when I split it, even the knotted pieces would *pop* when the knot was passed. Still have a little bit of it.

I had an incident related to this. As a police officer in uniform, an on-duty deputy and I walked into a Walmart when we were approached by two employees. They explained their new zero tolerance gun policy did not allow anyone to come into the store with a gun. I said, "right," and we kept walking.
They stepped in our path and told us they were serious, nobody is allowed in with a firearm. I said, "We're going in; feel free to call the police," and we walked past them. Neither of us ever heard another word about it.
Working peace officers have a duty to carry their firearm in public.

There may be statutes in place that require peace officers to carry on their persons or in their vehicles certain equipment when off duty. And on duty? While "on the clock"?

So interesting, hogmartin. The first cottage my parents had ( a very small one) at Higgins Lake had a large fireplace with a heatilator. There's must have been different because dad said it worked by convection, that is the fire place (which was central to the structure) would get going and air was drawn into vents low, would pass along the fire place and flue, and then discharge deeper into the room(s), thus moving the warm air around. As he described it there was no need for electricity, just a good draft in the fireplace.

But a lot of peace'n'love folks, usually connected to the American University in Beirut, stayed on anyway... and inevitably got kidnapped... & then their families went on TV to cut Reagan a new one for "not doing enough" to free their kid.

Yep, mine is on the west wall, not the center. I'm sure there's some convection current and radiant heating, but it really doesn't shine unless the blower's on, when it draws cold air from the floor through masonry grillwork back around between the firebox and the outside of the chimney, then through some metal heat exchanger pipes in the flue and out between the bricks in the front, between the mantel and the firebox.
The flue itself is so well insulated with brick that the temperature rises MAYBE one degree in the master bedroom upstairs, even with the chimney running along one wall of it.

This was a single room, wood heated, no electricity (kerosene lanterns at night and many early bedtimes) no running water and an outhouse. Not exactly a dream house on a long term basis--we DID spend two years in it.
I got pretty good at splitting logs and running the chainsaw during those years. Don't miss a Goddamn minute of it.

Quality Desktop Publishing.
But it never got off the ground... and I had no idea about domain names on this newfangled invention called the World Wide Web.
My idea was that when my business grew, every employee online would be qdp-something. qdpbill, qdplauren, qdpjim, etc etc.
But it never took off. Meanwhile I for whatever reason fell in love with the acronym. Plus it's turned out to be very versatile. I've since used it on one-off bases for:
- Quality Digital Publishing
- Quality Digital Production
- Quality DJ Person
... and so on.
So I've stuck with it. I like it a lot. I did have one old friend once ask, if it had anything to do with the French saying (don't know if the spelling is right): "quel de fuck?" No, it doesn't, and I had never heard of that until he mentioned it. :-)

Much of liberalism for the last 50 years has been about pretending. Affirmative action is pretending that candidate minority is better than candidate majority. Pretend racism is minorities can't be racist and crackers can't not be racist. Transgenderism is pretending boys are girls or vice versa. They're pretending there's evidence that Trump colluded with Russia and that Hillary did not commit felonies. So pretending there's no evil (or imagining there's no heaven or hell) fits right in.

That may have something to do with it. What I am describing is a place my parents sold in 1975 when I was 9. There was no upstairs, and it was on a cement slab (which took too long to get warm) and add in the casement single-pane steel framed windows and the fact that as a log cabin the outer wall *is* the inner wall, and that when the oil-burning "furnace" was replaced with gas it did not actually move heat around through any ductwork I was aware of (and though young I am certain I would have found it if it was there - gosh I like stuff like that). The heatilators actually worked because as a small kid I remember going there and standing in my coat and gloves, and dad getting a fire going, and very shortly it was warm enough to remove the coat and gloves.

Antepostmodernism?
I cannot for the life of me understand just how anyone could possibly think postmodernism was even worth considering. The entire premise sounds like a weird joke. It wasn't that long ago that if you said something as stupid as "There are no rules," you'd get laughed out of the bar and stuck with the tab, too.
The only proper answer back to a statement that inane would be, "Are you out of your mind? What's wrong with you?"

Yes.
Although one time I was called a racist by someone very close to me, because I dared speak ill of the ironically-named religion of piece.
It did not hurt because I was called out as a "racist."
It hurt because this person actually viewed me that way. It damaged my own opinion of this person for a long time, an irony that hurt me deeply. I still struggle with it, although we are still close. Thank God for that.

In a sense, the premise of Antepostmodernism suggests that truth may be used to reinforce hierarchy, but only if Sontag's essay on semiotic rationalism is valid; otherwise, Sartre's model of presemioticist theory is one of "the semantic paradigm of narrative", and hence part of the stasis of consciousness.
Lyotard uses the term 'the precultural paradigm of reality' to denote not desublimation, as surrealism suggests, but subdesublimation.

Very true, MH. That cabin was our only home for a time ( seemed like forever ) while the big house was under construction. Dad contracted some of the work--the original rough framing, it was a precut house, not prefab.
That simply meant all the lumber was dimensional cut and packaged. Your responsibility to lay it out and build according to the master plan.
The mortgage was for 9k, and completion wound up at 12k, that bought a 4br 2bath attached 2car garage plus fireplace. 2k square feet, iirc.

Affirmative action is pretending that candidate minority is better than
candidate majority. Pretend racism is minorities can't be racist and
crackers can't not be racist. Transgenderism is pretending boys are
girls or vice versa. They're pretending there's evidence that Trump
colluded with Russia and that Hillary did not commit felonies. So
pretending there's no evil (or imagining there's no heaven or hell) fits
right in.

If one examines the pretextual paradigm of the demon possessed Louis in Ghostbusters, one is faced with a choice: either accept Sartreist absurdity or conclude that discourse is a product of the collective unconscious, but only if art is equal to sexuality; if that is not the case, Foucault's model of Debordist situation is one of "textual narrative", and hence part of the genre of narrativity. The main theme of the works of Ivan Riteman is the common ground between sexuality and sexual identity. It could be said that the meaninglessness, and subsequent rubicon, of predialectic narrative which is a central theme of Animal House emerges again in Stripes.

Mile 22
Lots of actions and 'splosions and its a Moron Approved film going experience.
Did I mention the 'plosions
So short version is it's about an American black ops team trying to spirit an intelligence asset out of a country that I guess is supposed to be a lot like Indonesia but no Indonesia. During the move a Russian black postnatal team hacks their communications and then it becomes about Americans killing Russians.
There may or may not be a moment with John Malkovich reciting a certain line quoted at the top of this here Smart Military snd Pirate Enthusiast blog.
It's short, Mark Wahlberg plays a perfect asshole, there's lots of killing....good Moron date movie material. Beware, cuz the sound design seems to lean towards dialogue being "artistically muffled" by background noise. Things also happen quickly, so don't get distracted.
Saw this on the AVX screen at the Santikos Mayan Palace Theater. I've spoken before about Santikos. Great chain. The theater itself is very nice with this Mayan theme on the outside. Got there, got my alcoholic beverage...cool beans. The AVX screen in this theater is no time the massive one like I've seen at their other locations. Wall to wall, yes, but lacks the height. Still looked and sounded excellent.

Favorite Bands: Slayer, Exodus, Testament, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pantera, Slipknot, Dimmu Borgir, Death Angel, Machine Head, etc.
But I do not blame my dad. I love him dearly. He was simply doing what he thought was the right thing. He saw the decadence of the late 1960s. It simply did not occur to him that a band like Kansas could exist in the rock world.
Good news is I finally saw Kansas in Fort Collins some years ago. Still good, great show.

If one examines the prematerial paradigm of whiskey, one is faced with a
choice: either accept whiskey objectively or conclude that the purpose of
whiskey is deconstruction of the self. But whiskey may be pre- and re-contextualised into an ontological deappropriation that includes culture as a totality. Debord promotes the use of inebriated objectivism to deconstruct whiskey and it's necessary and ancillary constituents, water and ice.

Gramps was a high school chemistry teacher, and bought what had been a subsistence farmstead, as a place to spend summers away from the heat and bustle of the big city. The house was a log structure from just before the civil war, and had a cluster of timberframed barns, one for each purpose or animal type. The unsplit wood was stored in one half of the wagon shed.
The wood burning kitchen stove was set up with piping for heating the gravity spring water, so we could bathe and wash dishes. With this and Gramps' penchant for baking bread, we needed wood to fire that stove all day long, every day, and it was summer.
The wood was white pine mostly, bark-on slabwood from the big mill down in the village. We'd whack it up in the wagonshed, and wheelbarrow it down to the house to keep a freezer-sized woodbox full all the time.
Kindling was needed each morning to get the day's fire going, and we kept that in a small stack next to the big box. We used a double bit Adirondack-pattern axe for everything, and to split the small kindling sticks, held the axe just under the head for close control.
They're all gone now but I remember a lot of the barn details, and the names of them all. Main barn, lower barn, sheep barn, horse barn, pig shed, wagon shed, grainery, and the newer car garage, built about 1914. All the barns dated to the early 1870s, and were of spruce and pine, the main timbers all squared up by hand with broadaxes. Tenons were fixed into the mortises with hardwood pegs. Nails, where used, were all square-cut, and came from the nail mill two villages downstream from our nearest village. Ours had a covered bridge spanning the river.

The country club came first, with some large upscale homes built around it. Those residents named the area Lakewood, again, for the resort in NJ. This was during the 1930s and early 1940s.
Then a boulevard nearby, Highway 19, was named Lakewood Boulevard.
So when the time came to choose a name for this newly incorporated town in 1954, residents chose Lakewood. But other names were considered, I believe.

I've been reading 'Black Rednecks and White Liberals' by Sowell. It should be mandatory reading for all Americans. It is a terrific, well documented book, more textbook than any other characterization.
The title is a bit misleading, in that it implies a preoccupation with racial issues, but it's much more comprehensive than that.
There are a wealth of quotable insights. Sowell cuts through the sociological BS with remarkable insight, and always with verifiable data.
It's a little startling to find so much wisdom/observation from one person. It's not a page-turner, but damn well worth the read.

The whole town has the reputation of being run by an HOA in City Hall. It's beautiful and VERY upscale, but for instance, there are (or were) restrictions on what colors you could paint your house, for years. They are or were called "Cerritos Colors."
Also, Cerritos had a city law that no business sign could contain any poor English grammar or spelling. So for YEARS, they were on the ass of the Toys 'R Us (now closed, obviously) in Cerritos, because of the backwards R!
The store opened in 1972 and by the 1990s, its manager had to threaten to close up and move here to Lakewood, to get the council members off their back. Good grief.

In a sense, the subject of the "Rabbit Hole" is interpolated into a Debordist imagery that includes diadactism as a reality. The dialectic paradigm of holes suggests that the goal of the observer is significant form, but only if truth is interchangeable with reality; otherwise, Bataille's model of Lacanist obscurity is one of "the semioticist paradigm of holes", and hence fundamentally unattainable.
Therefore, the defining characteristic, and eventually the genre, of
subdialectic ringemot theory depicted in Lewis Carrols Alice in Wonderland emerges again in Donnie Darko. Baudrillard's analysis of the dialectic paradigm of discourse implies that man is capable of social comment.

BackwardsBoy, as I recall it, Fee Waybill had this habit of ending up naked by the end of a lot of shows.
But I could be wrong.
For this show, he came out as Quay Lewd, the World's Tallest Rock Star. 18" platform boots and a skin-tight silver lame outfit with what appeared to be a gigantic cucumber in the pants part. Played White Punks On Dope and then "died" when a 20 ft tall fake guitar amp fell on him. He then became an angel surrounded by nubile young ladies who were wearing nothing but pantyhose and two strategically placed strips of electrical tape.
Waybill did one song as a doctor. They wheeled out a gurney while he cranked up a real chain saw and chased some guy a couple of tables over out the front door with it. He delivered a little baby guitar appropriately covered with goo.
A good time was had by all.

And it's funny they chose that name. In Northern California, there's a city called El Cerrito (which interestingly, is where Creedence Clearwater Revival is claimed to have been founded).
Then again, also in Northern CA is a town called... Woodlake. Good grief. I guess we're officially out of names for municipalities in California.

I would not go so far as to call Kansas a "Christian Band" (even though I may have just said so, shut up, been drinking!) but they were far removed from what I was generally drawn to as a teenager. They had a far more positive and, well, happy element to their sound But I loved their music, and Steve Walsh is a helluva front man.
By the time Kansas hit the scene, I was into Yes and ELP. I always thought of them as America's Prog Rock Band.
Didn't find out until a couple of years ago that they were/are a Christian band. I did notice the subject matter of their songs and the absence of secksual suggestivenessism, but I never gave it any thought since most prog rock is like that.
Great band with a new album out, first one in like 15 years.

Heh. Well, sure, with exceptions. A friend was an Atlanta policeman. Every now and then, we'd go out for a beer after his shift. He would strip off his uniform shirt and gun, lock them in the trunk of his car, and we'd go in for a few beers, him in his t-shirt.
Great guy, and there's more to the story. He died when he waited too long to punch out of an OV-1 Mohawk.

They got a swimming pool in the late 1970s, so my family was in the habit, in the summertime, of visiting them at least once a month, to go swimming.
The trip there was incredible for me as a young kid. That area of Riverside was barely developed. There were even some old fashioned farms with horses, and hay bales.
Only a few years ago, I finally was able to swing by there again. It's completely built up. Not even a tree in sight. Tons of strip malls, more homes/apartments, and commercial/business buildings. Looks NOTHING like it did in the early 1980s.
There was also a segment north of CA-91 of McKinley, that was nothing but a dirt road. Today it's as big, wide and developed as the southern McKinley segment I just described. Again, good grief.
LA's sprawl has been out of control for a long time now.

Senate Bill 1192 would make water or milk the default drink for kids meals in a push to reduce obesity and access to sugary drinks for children.The bill passed the Assembly and is on its way to Gov. Jerry Brown's desk.

According to Wiki, when it opened in 1971 (with anchor stores Sears which is *still there,* Robinson's and Ohrbach's), the city was hoping the sales tax revenue would bring them, oh, a couple hundred thousand a year.
By 1975 it was bringing in tens of millions. To this day, Cerritos has some of the most incredible city facilities of any town in all of SoCal, *including* Beverly Hills.

In my case, I'm making the argument: YES the Bible was divinely inspired, but are you *certain* there's nothing left in there that's due to mankind's error? For instance, there's a lot of stuff about women being supposedly inferior to men, that sounds to my ears much more inspired by man's laws at the time those books were written, than by God's love and guidance.
Bob just responded to me that a God who is incredible enough to simply speak the universe into existence, is incredible enough to make sure the Bible is absolutely pure and perfect.
His POV is valid. I'm not going to argue with him or try to diminish his views. But it's nice to be able to have a conversation about these kinds of things somewhere on the web with people who are actually mature, rather than trolls. Anyway, I could very well be 100% wrong and Bob could be 100% right.

I would think that God wants us to believe in Him and Christ because we *want* to, and not only because the Bible says to.
And Mr. Triez, I'll probably get in trouble with you for saying what I'm about to, so hold on, BUT (there's always a 'but')...
I AM a Christian, and I definitely believe the Bible was divinely *inspired.* But I admit having trouble believing that every single word in there, is something God wanted. The Bible was transcribed by humans after all, and it's no secret we mess up everything we touch, for reasons we both know a lot about.
God is obviously, more than humans can ever imagine, brilliant. And I think God designed the Bible to work not just as a direct literal message, but also in undiscovered, innovative ways. I think for instance that the Bible is God's Rorschach test; different people find different things in it. Some, like you and I and many others, find a great loving God who gave his Son to die for us on the cross; but others dwell on the stories or laws that in today's eyes seem paternalistic, over-the-top and silly, and/or dismiss the whole thing as a collection of fairy tales designed to manipulate people, usually becoming atheists and/or anti-theists as a result.
I believe God ultimately convinced mankind to choose the books making up the Bible, because they provide the best insight available at that time as to who and what God and his Son are; but I also believe, and I have a hunch you will disagree, that there *are* man-made mistakes still dwelling in many of them, in particular things written about women, slavery and other 'hot topics.'
Now even if I'm right, this opens up a giant can of worms. Who's to say what's there that God *doesn't* like? I don't know of any email where He clarified "yeah, about that, you wouldn't believe what the Apostle Paul was thinking that morning," but: The 'debate' over various controversial bible verses could go on forever, of course. I also want to stress, this is NOT to claim that whatever's seen as 'hip' today, is therefore fine and dandy with God because, oops, it musta been one of the Bible's mistakes! I sincerely doubt the truth could ever turn out that conveniently for mankind's present-day cultural/social outlook.
But I hope I've made a halfway decent argument, as a CHRISTIAN, that even the Bible can be read critically, while I and others *accept* its fantastic overall message-- and gift-- of love, peace and eternal life. God bless. :-)

Maybe I'm crazy.

--Friend of mine . . . a 5'11" loud Irish chick, nailed it in a college class when a libtard ranted about Catholicism oppressing women. She told me she rose up and said back: "Hey, have you ever been in a Catholic church? [A reasonable question in the Deep South] There are lots of men kneeling in front of a statue of Mary, and praying to her and giving her flowers. If that's oppression, I'll take it, baby!"
Gawd, she is awesome to this day.

Well, you'd need to define terms. I'd argue that, if you don't accept that men and women have different but equally important roles in traditional Christian beliefs, that women are the superior sex. People always point to the verse telling wives to obey their husbands claiming that it makes women "oppressed", but they always leave out the second half: Husbands are supposed to love their wives "as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her". So men are expected to lay down their lives for women. If that's the case, then exactly which sex is superior/most important?

--Crazy. and I also like "Song of the Earth."
I must say, though, hearing (and even seeing some) Rach playing piano, that he was a fantastic virtuoso at his instrument. He had ridiculously long fingers. His concertos and Vespers are so good that they are arguments for the existence of God.
As an aside, I fucking love European peeps (whatever nation) taking *pride* in themselves instead of being flagellants for shit they never did. Viktor Orban is a hero.

It worked once in Everett and failed in Seattle where defense ran out of peremptory options. Last laugh on the persecution since I hung the jury when their case relied totally on circumstantial evidence. Judge and persecutors came in after dismissal and held a postmortem with the jurors. They hated my input.

Cutting it
Splitting it
Stacking it
Burning it
Do these tasks in cold weather.
Frozen wood splits easily.
Pro tip:
Place round for splitting inside of rimless car tire. Pieces are contained for splitting, reduces effort resetting and picking up split wood.

I have one. I use it when I have a log that isn't cut square on the bottom (won't stand up on its own). I can lean it upright against the inside rim. It works, but the tire clogs up with things like bark fairly quickly.

It was quite busy behind the bar this evening, but I did not let it dissuade me from having a wee dram or two whilst on the clock.
Positive aspects included someone handsome tips and a table full of 21 year old college girls that came to listen to the band.
The female form is quite something to behold, especially in tight-fitting mini skirts. I will file that table of guests under "I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go".

Oh wonderful.
Baltimore initiated a rental bike program downtown that had to be shut down and security measures increased due to low usage rates, and high theft rates. After being off-line for 90 days, they re-implemented the program with all the new security measures in place.
Last week, Baltimore announced that they were dropping the bike-share program due to inability to keep up with demand.
And are replacing it with this scooter program that LA is enjoying much success with.
No one of us is a dumb as all of us.
