Tippy-Tap Cafe
Roan Mountain on the Appalachian trail,
by Rob Travis
An Innocent Dog.
Dog doesn't want a crummy old stick lying on the ground, he wants a fresh one. Dog either wants to help, or is just lazy. Cat tries to eat a freckle. Little dogs fail to run off some intruders, so they call in their ringer. Aw -- injured cat wants affection, not food. So it can happen! Dog and chicken have a nice game of tag. This puppy has a case of the wagglebutts. I like cats, but I also like seeing them get their comeuppance. I mean, cats deserve getting a little of their own back. A bull surrounded by a pack of lions tap-dances on their heads as he takes to the air to escape.

Reuters awkwardly found that Joe Biden and every living former U.S. president – except Donald Trump – are direct descendants of slaveholders: Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and – through his white mother’s side – Barack Obama.

>>What would we have said if Hillary on a hidden camera was waving around classified material and showing it to random people without clearance and bragged she wasnt allowed to have it?
1. Hillary was never President so did not have the powers of The Unitary Executive.
B. All papers Trump took with him were ipso-facto his papers and can be thought of as de-classified at the moment he took them.
III. We have no idea what the alleged papers are but it essentially does not matter, see 1 and B.
The bottom line is the best analysis of this bullshit was by Robert Barnes when he was on Viva Frei.
You should have a look, it will open your eyes, or not.

||Earth’s tilt has changed by 31.5 inches (80 centimeters) between 1993 and 2010 because of the amount of groundwater humans have pumped from the planet’s interior.
In that period, humans removed 2,150 gigatons of water from natural reservoirs in the planet’s crust. If such an amount was poured into the global ocean, its surface would rise by 0.24 inches (6 millimeters). A new study has now revealed that displacing such an enormous amount of water has had an effect on the axis around which the planet spins.||

There's also a really cool place where they make all the license plates. But not just ANYBODY gets to go there.

"In the daytime?"
"Certainly."
"With his face to the stump?"
"Yes. Least I reckon so."
"Did he say anything?"
"I don't reckon he did. I don't know."
"Aha! Talk about trying to cure warts with spunkwater such a blame fool way as that! Why, that ain't a-going to do any good. You got to go all by yourself, to the middle of the woods, where you know there's a spunk-water stump, and just as it's midnight you back up against the stump and jam your hand in and say:
'Barley-corn, barley-corn, injun-meal shorts, Spunk-water, spunk-water, swaller these warts,'
and then walk away quick, eleven steps, with your eyes shut, and then turn around three times and walk home without speaking to anybody. Because if you speak the charm's busted."
Damn, I mis-spoke

Hard to close, but easy to open: could be too much friction (wheels and rails, the motor itself, drive chain/belt). They're supposed to give up and open again when they hit too much resistance, to keep them from squeezing you to death if you're in the way. Try lubing everything. But use better phrasing than me. Or if there's an adjustment for how much force it takes to make that emergency stop happen, adjust that.
Not closing when you leave, but opening when you return: could also be too much friction/heat in the motor. Works fine when it's relatively cold, but not fine when it's been run recently? Or it could be remote batteries, but it's weird that the opener would hear the remote when the door is closed, but not when it's open. Should be the other way around. Weak batteries might be slowly charging a capacitor in the remote, so it works after it's been idle for several minutes, but not if you've just used it to open the door?

He messed up a tag and left the front page blank for a half hour earlier today. Except for the header and the left sidebar with the ads.

Apparently Ace nuked the board earlier today. The ads, like cockroaches, survived. I missed it, sadly. Would have been a sight.

Stand at the crossroads at midnight with your remote.
"Spunkwater, spunkwater, Injun meal shorts
Spunkwater, spunkwater, swaller these warts."
Then you spin the dead cat three times around your head.

Spin the cat clockwise or counterclockwise?

The remote is a replacement, generic: so there may be a directional issue. It sounds like you have intermittent communication between the two, and something going on with direction and placement. There may be some new thing around the sensor blocking it in some odd way: have you moved anything around near it, like storing objects in the garage rafters? Anything metal? Re-sided the garage, or installed anything electric/electronic in or near the garage?
(My garage is an antique one-car, so I've never bothered motorizing the door, it's manual, so what do I know).

Yeah...actually, the blog crashed and Ace took the hit for the team! It was coincidence. If he had typed a question mark instead of a slash the entire blog would have crashed...not just the front page.

NEW NASA is tracking a "potentially hazardous" asteroid that is set to pass Earth on Wednesday. The huge rock, named 2013 WV44, measures 160 metres in diameter, making it roughly the same length as Blackpool Tower - The Independent

There are plenty of "Earth crossers" and the orbits can be calculated accurately for years backwards and forwards (in fact, astronomers use the backwards calcs to search old photographic plates for previous missed sightings, to help refine the overall orbit plot). If this one were going to do something it wouldn't still have its discovery-time designation almost 10 years after discovery.

Just put the gDaughter to bed after gently rocking her to get her to sleep. There won't be many more moments like that as she turns six next week.
My brother says the heartbreaking moment comes when the child no longer want to hold your hand when the two of you walk together. He may be right.
