Pranking a cat with Sticky Notes. Also bedeviling a kitten with Sticky Notes. A tidy chameleon. Gopher spotter. Don't celebrate before the game is won. "Granular flow," I guess of large rocks in a river. I don't really understand what's going on here. It doesn't seem like boulders should flow like this. Like a horror movie! Trans pug. Sexy, sexy capybaras. Galloping... cow? I'm not sure. Unchained meow-ody.

California female police union exec busted for running 8 year fentanyl organization.

Brand new allergy soup I made was very popular tonight (nothing left) - my kids wanted a fruit soup, so I made a sweet banana soup with coconut milk and tapioca. It was an Americanized riff on a classic Vietnamese dessert soup from Food Network, but rather than sesame seeds for flavoring, I used coconut rum, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ginger.
The organizer came up afterwards and thanked me for always helping the meal accommodate more people and bringing something different so there could be both allergy safe food and variety in the food. I didn't admit one reason there was always variety is b/c I didn't want to eat the same soup week after week (and I always eat what I bring)...
But it was great being out and bearing witness to truth and fellowship vs whatever was supposed to be celebrated today...

I almost always use coconut rum when I need a coconut flavor to actually carry through. The milk by itself just doesn't have enough of what most folks want when they think they are getting a "coconut" hit.
And to be fair, it turns out more "comforting almost dessert" than traditional "healthy for you" soup - but it does get 2 fruits into kids who only wanna eat mac and cheese at the dinner...

Since it's the 1st time I made it...and I made it for 20, I wasn't paying too much attention to my "changed adds" - so I didn't measure the ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, or rum in any close way...but I might try to guesstimate now...

I am sporting two bandaids on my left arm, because I was using pry bars to demount a tire from its rim, and one got away from me and shwacked me on the arm. Took off two pea-sized scraps of skin. But I defeated the tire, and now have it back on the rim with a tube in it, and its bolted to the roof of my Jeep as a spare.

I was lucky indeed. I thought, when time slowed down for the duration, that I was indeed chopping my fingertip off at the knuckle. I think the pulling reflex almost did the deed, too, when you think about the mechanics of an old-school garage door. I pull, the door comes down even more.

I don't think it was even that.
If we could see any actual data I suspect we'd find that the vast majority of the deaths were from forced non-treatment and "FDA approved" protocols like putting people on ventilators to be sure they died and the hospitals got their $14K COVID death money.
Remember how there were like five flu deaths that year? I'm betting it was because they were all counted as COVID deaths, and the additional COVID deaths were the murders mentioned above.

The Tunica casinos used to be "riverboats" (really, they were just bagass barges). I have no idea if they've moved them ashore.
Colonial Beach is on the VA side of the Potomac. Way back when, gambling was legal in MD, but not VA. They built "riverboats" by digging a trench around the structure abutting the VA shoreline, and letting them fill with water. Problem solved.

So I see Lurch isn't using any sort of obvious electronic assistance to talk. Very good. But...maybe it's just me...he keeps looking down at the same point as he talks. Um...so maybe he is? And the way they keep doing long shots with Jane Pauley in the left foreground obscuring everything to Lurch's right...something just feels off.
I mean with the government and media doing everything they can to jerk people around I can't help but feel maybe they're just jerking people around here, too.

Another period of gusts last night. This afternoon I let the pup out into the pen and then noticed branches in it. Looked further and saw 20 ft of maple tree, 10 inches diameter at the break, lying about 5 feet from the house.
Wasn't a branch. It was from way up top.

Quit taking 15% of wages - shared equally between employer and employee - and watch how many people can suddenly get out of debt and retire, or at least work less, earlier.
I like it, when some of the "that's just how it works" folks here talk about how Social Security was never meant to be a retirement fund. It's 15% of your wages, from the day you start until the day you die. You telling me that's not enough ?

The crappy part for me is living frugally my entire life and saving quite a bit of money and realizing it probably won't be enough any longer.
I had seriously worked out how to leave both of my kids $1M back around 2017 or so, and now I'm not sure if I'll have enough to live comfortably through retirement. I suspect I'll be able to feed us, but not the frequent travel and such that I'd initially planned.
Might not even need to worry about it the way things are going, though.

I truly admire your generosity. I do. However, for us, the kids will only get "I love you" gifts from us once we go to our rewards. The kids know this - hopefully, they've learned they are mostly responsible for their own financial station. We do financially support a disabled relative but he needs it and cannot fend for himself.
We support a (very) few charitable efforts biggly and they will get the bulk of any $$$ left when we die. Unless they lose sight of their mission.

Oh, don't misunderstand. They're on their own when they leave, and they'll be paying for their car and insurance. We teach them to tithe and donate to known organizations (St. Judes, Baptist Childrens Home, etc.), and they know they're going to be eating ramen and peanut butter like nature intended until they get their feet under them.
I was really hoping to figure out a way to surprise them when I kicked the bucket, though. Cheapo dad left us what?!!!

I'm always surprised when people don't realize that 3-5+ tornadoes a week is pretty normal in that part of the world this time of the year, and a tornado watch every day is routine. We're usually fortunate that they don't hit cities (or universities like back around 2010), but sometimes they do. But those same tornadoes are all over the place in the South right now, same as always.
I'm certain most people think it's because of an increase in Global Warming, though.

Heck, even my AO in Alberta is subject to tornadoes and damaging hail. Not to the same extent as "Tornado Alley" in the USA, but they do occur, mostly late May through July. Had a bad one hit Pine Lake, about 20 miles north of my place. Destroyed an RV park, and killed some folks. That was 20-odd years ago.

Yes it sucks when a tornado hits a house (or trailer park) or town. It's scary just to grab the kids and head to the basement during a warning or to hear the sirens going off while you're at a grocery store.
They're still common this time of year, and always have been.
