Tonight's ONT is Out Of Order
Sorry folks. Gingy had a hysterectomy this morning. She's fine, just very sore. We had planned for her to take a nap after dinner, time which I would use to write the ONT, but she's restless and I need to be with her. So here are the links I was going to feature on the ONT, but we'll have to omit the usual commentary.

I heard a rumble in my basement, so I went to check it out. It turns out a tower of boxes fell over.
One of them was really old, from three moves ago. It had some fun stuff in it. A bunch of copper coins, some Roman ones, and an oaken box I made with my dad, where he taught me dovetail joints. My older brother vandalized it by scrawling "R" Wuz Here on the underside of the lid.
The second broken box was newer and had a bunch of ammo in it that I forgot after this move, but it's only six months, so it's fine.
The third box was intact, so I left it alone. Hopefully it explodes sometime soon and reveals more treasures.

Or maybe that makes me not lazy, since I'm usually parked in the back forty, so I have to walk more.
I don't mind backing out of a space at work, or somewhere else where I can be pretty sure that an eight-year-old on a sugar high won't be sprinting behind me. But I like drive-out spots at the grocery, church, etc.

In the oilfield, you have to park facing the exit of the lease. If the order is given to evacuate the lease, the last thing they want is service hands smashing their vehicles into one another backing out of a parking space in a panic.
In a parking lot, I like to find a place where I can pull through to park in getaway position. If it means walking a few more steps, so be it.

That's fine if there aren't two head on spots. A grocery store has a line of single spots, like a pull through. There's no one in front or behind you. I have no problem with those kind. I'm just talking about the people who back in but can't do it without five to six attempts to get parked.

I knew two doctors who had heart attacks in their thirties. Fortunately they were both mild heart attacks. The one doctor told me he had just gotten out of his car at the hospital when it happened, and he realized it was happening. He also said that a lot of the likelihood of heart attacks is genetic.

I was looking at family pictures with my half-sister yesterday, and I was struck by how much our mom looked as a young mother like a young lady I knew who was getting clean from heroin. They had a similar build, and similar affect. IIRC they also spoke like each other.
Our mom was an alcoholic and died of liver failure and the young lady I knew ran her car under a dump truck and killed herself and her little boy, probably from falling asleep at the wheel.
I have sympathy for addicts, especially the ones trying to stay clean and sober. I really regret it for their kids and family and friends who cared enough to stay, and will have a giant hole in their lives.
God knows they make horrible chaos of the world and screw up everything they touch. The most tragic are the ones who are aware of it.

Hope Gingy starts feeling better soon. They don't do hysterectomies as much as they did in the past, and the procedure is a lot different. She should recover fairly quickly compared to the women of my mother's generation. Take care of her and don't worry about us. (Picks up my sharpest Gingher scissors.)

It never ceases to amaze me that people will sit and wait for someone else to walk to their car, load everything they just bought, scratch their ass, adjust their mirrors, apply makeup, write a novel, and generally futz around, all to avoid walking an extra 20'. The people at Costco are especially bad about this. You can park, walk past them, and go into the store, and they're still sitting there, idling.

I look for parking where I can drive straight through, even if I have to walk a ways. I also park at the far part of the lot where there aren't hardly any other cars so my doors won't get banged. My jeep is 3 years old and there are no marks on the doors.
The real blessing about my parish. The church has a school behind it. So, I can drive through the school parking lot to the back of the church parking lot. No cursing and bitching at other churchgoers who are mostly leaving from the front, while I whip out the back. Yeah, I'm a good Christian.

I did that with my truck when I first got it. One day at the grocery store someone in a red car parked next to me, opened their door hard enough to dent mine and rub some of their paint into the dent, then leave. That was 2007, and I haven't even washed it since.

My frustration is with celebrity combined with addiction or other issues. We have these people shoved into our faces by a star-struck media, but there are plenty of ordinary Americans going through similar issues without the vast resources available to these wealthy, spoiled dilettantes.

Are the ones that gotta fumble for 5 minutes or so, with an endless list of fidgety things to DO, before actually stepping on the brake, shifting into reverse, checking the mirrors and surroundings, and getting the hell on with the process.

You are of course correct. There are no absolutes, and I know a few you describe. But as I said to Kindletot upthread, the combination of entitled celebrity and drug addiction is one that I despise. We worship these people, and yet there are average Americans without nearly the resources to deal with their addictions who are ignored. I care about them...I don't care about celebrities.

Memory all the way back from 1986. Road trip San Antonio to San Diego, GF/s Chebby Celebrity with my '83 Gold Wing on a borrowed motorcycle trailer.
Had to do a parallel parking move at a Yuma, AZ Denny's restaurant. Did it in one, and got some applause from folks there in the parking lot.
The semi-trucks with the 53 ft. trailers are easier to back up than your pickup truck with a 10 ft. utility trailer. Shorter the trailer, the faster it'll jackknife. Challenge on the big trucks though, are the restricted sight lines. Driver has to set up the move on that slow, pull-ahead, just before hitting reverse. Bad set-up? Bad results.

Posted by: Ciampino -- I hate backing into parking anyway at January 12, 2023 10:34 PM (qfLjt)
I'm not great at backing into spaces, or parallel parking either, so I don't do either.
One thing I do whenever I back out of any spot, however, is turn my hazard lights on. Those small white lights at the back of my car never cut it for me. I'd never see them when I'm about to walk into someone else backing out, so I figure I'll do everyone a favor and make it clear when I'm backing out.

Soon as the hitch connection to trailer axle distance is shorter than the motive vehicle's wheelbase, things is gonna get snappy, fast!
This is why the Port of Galveston now prohibits cargo/luggage trailers being towed behind the various box-buses and Transit/Sprinter and other passenger vans. Too many of the drivers of those could NOT safely work the trailer in the busy as hell port facilities.

When the sons were given the company it was by dad who started it and probably beat the shit out of them.
By the time grandson gets it, he's been living comfortably, none of them know from struggle. And he decides to dedicate the business to some assface cause because he wants to feel meaningful in life, and he just doesn't know shit about shit.

Nah, I'm right.
The shorter trailer can swing in more degrees of arc per linear ft. of straight-back motive vehicle movement, than the longer trailer. The classic F-150 w/ 10' utility trailer can go full-jackknife in less distance than the truck's own wheelbase. 53' behind a standard-ish, twin-screw Semi, ain't gotta get turned much more than about 20 degrees if the tractor is motoring straight-back.
Now, start in with that steering wheel funny business, and things change. A mediocre semi-driver will still usually out-manuver the F-150 rig driver, who seldom.. SELDOM has to maneuver into tight bays or tricky turns. That's seldom, as with many of them, never.

The reason crazy people are in local communities is a straight line directly to Kennedy and LBJ and the Democrat majority congress that wrote the laws.
Read about Kennedy's 1963 Community Mental Health Act that created local mental health facilities so that crazy people could live in their communities and visit the mental health facilities locally.
Then read about how Medicaid (passed in 1965) barred federal funding from being spent in/on mental hospitals housing more than X patients. Guess what happened to mental hospitals then?
Reagan was involved, but he had very little to do with it overall. That's the left passing the blame because they know what happened and want to pin it on the (R)s, same as always.

Eugyppus calls it the Head Girl syndrome: Head Girl-the typical “all-rounder” who “performs extremely well in all school subjects” and “is excellent at sports,” while being “pretty, popular, sociable and well-behaved”
The Head Girl will probably be a big success in life, in whatever terms being a big success happens to be framed... But the Head Girl is not, cannot be, a creative genius.
Modern society is run by Head Girls, of both sexes ... Modern colleges aim at recruiting Head Girls, [ . . . ] so does the mass media, so does the legal profession, so does medicine, so does the military...
The Head Girl can never be a creative genius because she does what other people want by the standards they most value. She will worker harder and at a higher standard in doing whatever it is that social pressure tells and she will do this by whatever social standards prevail [but] more thoroughly.

Bums are stripped naked. Hosed down. In rehab. Treated for their addiction. Given counseling. Medical care. Spiritual care. Treated like the human persons they are.
Given an opportunity to learn and produce. I don't care if the best they can do is to pick up garbage on the freeway or help clean graffiti off the overpasses. Do something and be PROUD of the fact they are helping.
If they don't want to play nice AFTER 30 days in the clink getting detoxed, then given a bus ticket out. And a chip in their brain. If you cross the border back to this state, it kills you. Fuck the fuck off. Leave. Never. Come. Back.

Must be nice. Our food budget hasn't changed much, but we're bringing home 1/2 to 2/3rds the food spending that same money, and buying nowhere near the tasty fun stuff that we were able to just casually pick up for the kids back while Trump was in office and eggs were 79 cents per dozen.
But yeah, inflation is 7%
