Had to drop my car off at the dealer today and was won I haven't been to before. After work I pulled up to their service area to do a drop off and....they had a car parked in the way blocking entry.
I went into the dealership part and they told me I had to drive all the way around the back of the building. "Its to keep the cars safer" they said. What the heck? They have hundreds of new cars on the lot and they use one to block off the area were the cars they are working on are located? 1) How bad is crime in this area? 2) Why wouldn't you steal a new car instead of an old busted one?

Much better today after my husband's surprise MRI that he was falling apart (gluteus minimus detached from bone and other stuff).
Not much pain & he's had a few tears fixed in the past with a stem cell injection. No limp, either, thankfully. He may or may not need endoscopic surgery. The result of long distance running for 40yrs. He found on AI that being a geezer (his words) they may not bother since other muscles are compensating. A rare advantage of being old (altho neither of us look it or act it). It gave me hope. Spent all morning on the phone getting the MRI sent to the university and top doc's team. Who, I found out, does not operate often on people over 50yrs. However they will find someone. Meanwhile I found two others if we need another opinion. Then I quit and focused on nothing. Things are looking up. We may need your prayers in the future, please, as he's only had one tiny surgery in his life (cut thumb tendon, the guitar picking thumb that is fine, one Easter dinner). So we wait. I'm waiting. Probably won't know squat til next week. Got the MRI faxed & referral letter faxed to "the team."

On the exoplanet front, they've found another wild one, GJ 523b. This is a "mega-earth", even more massive than a super-earth. It's about 23 earth masses and 2.5 earth radii (which would translate to a surface gravity of 3.7 g). It's orbiting a mid-K star, GJ 523, about 87 light years away. This is an outlier oddball.

Half a century ago, when MiladyJo and I had been "together" for just a few months, we went to her home town, Chicago, to (gulp) meet her family and celebrate Christmas and New Year's.
She wanted us to go to the New Year's Eve show at the Earl of Old Town, so one day when we were out buying Christmas gifts, we stopped by the bar to buy tickets. There was nobody in the bar but the bartender and some guy up on stage, a short young fellow, dressed in raggedy blue jeans and a big smile, strumming on a beat-up old guitar. As we stood there, he burst out with a familiar train song. We listened a while, then headed out to shop more. I turned to her and exclaimed, that was a great version of that song! She replied, it ought to be, that was the guy who wrote it. I said, you mean we just walked out of a private performance with the guy we just bought tickets to see on New Year's?!? Yup. We should have just gone back in. But we caught his show that New Year's, and the second set, and many New Year's shows subsequently. Great songwriter, energetic performer, and a great guy. Gone 'way too soon. https://youtu.be/e4ztWNJYFrU G'nite, y'all.💤 Posted by: mindful webworker - just add cheeeese at September 02, 2026 11:01 PM (Cl/mc) 148

Report on the Dominion Con in Hamilton Ontario by John Carter's Substack.
"The Dominion Society was founded barely over a year ago, and rapidly exploded to over three thousand members across the country. It is a peaceful and explicitly non-partisan political advocacy group dedicated to advancing the cause of remigration within Canadian civil society. " https://tinyurl.com/49bz9v63 One of the pull quotes: "Back in Hamilton, Andrea Horwath hosted a little Hope Not Hate demo at City Hall, attended by a small clutch of geriatrics high on the ghost of John Lennon and the paramoral rush of dispossessing their children for cheap labour and expensive real estate. The contrast between the small gatherings of elderly leaflibs and spiteful mutants on the one hand, and the predominantly young, male, clean-cut DomCon attendees on the other, was, well, exactly what you’d expect really."

I filled in the hole I dug to work on my septic tank. Got most of it done by using the bucket on the excavator to drag dirt off the spoil pile back into the hole. Then drove the excavator out of the way, and fired up my tractor, and used the loader bucket as a dozer to push most of the remaining dirt into the hole. Leaving a mound, in fact.

Via Mark1971, a woman was attacked by a river otter, who turns out to be, as nurse ratched always says, evil.
Wasn't this attack in Lake Tahoe? If so, then wouldn't that be a lake otter, not a river otter? And aren't lake otters more closely related to sea otters than river otters? And do lake otters hold hands while they sleep? Posted by: Duncanthrax at September 02, 2026 07:54 PM (0sNs1) 4

97 Yeah, I think he was running La Villa as a straw man operation. He got in trouble with the union stuff in Cleveland, and got quiet after the 1980 bombing campaign in Youngstown.

100 In the series Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen's character is a jingle writer, making bank. When you think about it, a good jingle is one of the most effective advertising tools ever. I remember POC beer jingles from the days Jimmy Dudley was the announcer for the Cleveland Indians.

Moroccan security forces executed the Ceuta invasion? A Spanish investigative agency finds that the invasion was "designed to collapse Spain’s border control system and eliminate Spain’s capacity to respond." How does *that* contribute to Moroccan security, one wonders? Well, the question is deliberately silly, but since when have Morocco and Spain been in a hot war?

Morocco can't rape the willing. If their spooks are involved here they're just executing on Spanish government operations to give the country to Islam.

Bulg, you have a purpose. You show you care for your neighbors and your relatives and the people here. It’s easy to NOT see who needs care, or just not take the time, but you DO take the time. You provide care and comfort. You set a great example. Praying for you….
Posted by: Annies Stew at September 02, 2026 09:46 PM (dNIAD) 127
Bulg, I think a lot of us feel this way on occasion. I certainly do. On a lot of occasions really. I think it's ultimately up to us to find some purpose, to make things worthwhile. If we're lucky. Heaven forfend the Lord should give us a purpose. That road always seems very hard. If nothing else, being here, commiserating with others while Rome burns, is not nothing. You're appreciated here, of that makes a difference.

Bulg- I understand things have been a little rough lately for you, and today it seems like it might be getting the best of you. Just remember, you get to control how much of your day, week or even life you let it own. You are not stuck with this outlook. You might be tired, and tired people don’t really think about all the amazing things they have or options out there. Maybe get a good nights sleep and look at it again with fresh eyes?

BraveAI is pointing to "Neurosensory anatomy and function in Dimetrodon, the first terrestrial apex predator", claiming that this synapsid could sense vibrations through the ground.
Birds are diapsids like dinosaurs (they are dinosaurs). Seems each of us got our airborne hearing through different paths. Posted by: 88C+u at September 02, 2026 10:03 PM (88C+u) 142
Huh. Just found out that snakes ALSO don't have ears and sense sound from ground vibrations. I suppose if you do everything from slithering on the ground you don't need ears
