I think Headlund is doing a tv series. But anyway...

Remember that old SNL sketch where William Shatner goes out to a Star Trek convention and tells the fans to get a life? Man, we need that moment now more than ever.

Star Wars sucks. It fucking sucks. I mean, the original trilogy is good but the rest can be burned by the public hangman. This nerd need for brand loyalty and identification is tiresome. Motherfuckers...get a goddamn life.

Searched an acre of lawn. Nope. We concluded the eagle got him, said he died like a viking. This morning my neighbor asked me to come over, Mobo was lying at bottom of their stairs. I picked him up and took him inside. Mrs.E and I took him to the vet and let him go. 10 days ago he brought us a mouse.

"I grew up in community organizing, where you can’t just turn away from your neighbor or city official -- you have to face every campaign and every election, from school board races to federal elections, with empathy and understanding. Because empathy wins races and builds power.

There are no two people more empathetic than Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They listen to the stories core to each and every one of us, and they’ve always fought to change lives for the better. They face difficult moments with an unwavering desire to do what’s right by the American people and they’ve led the progress we’ve made on health care, infrastructure, and so much more.

So, I’m excited to personally invite you to celebrate the 14th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act with President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama, and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, happening THIS Saturday, March 23, at 12 p.m. ET!

(Ok, I lied; I will comment. Shouldn't that be Speaker Emeritx Nancy Pelosi?)

"The preferred food of the Burmese python depends upon its size. Hatchling Burmese pythons sustain themselves on mice, quickly graduating to rats and birds. Over time, these snakes start to eat rabbits and small mammals. Eventually, a Burmese python will start to stalk farm animals, deer, and even alligators."

If I was burning brush, he'd climb in my lap while I smoked a cigar and drank a beer. He was a shorthair, muted gray striper, white paws, bib and muzzle. Had the eyes of a smart old man.

Condolences. Our Belle is almost 18 and in the last few days has started acting senile. She gets around ok with a bit of back leg trouble, probably arthritis and I can commiserate with her. Belle has occasionally contributed to Comments on AoS as she often sits next to me and occasionally will press keys, including POST.

Drove one over the holidays. In the family since new. They originally waited 12 years on a list to get the car. The tiny two-stroke engine makes about 30 horsepower. The fuel tank sits above the engine, feeding fluid by gravity rather than a pump. Fascinating but amazing to think this was the state of the art in East Germany at the time.

Checking Milady into the hospital last week, the old feller in the wheelchair in line behind us had a cap that said "USS Wahoo (SS-565)". I did a quick search on the cell, and then asked him, "So, sir, you were a sub-mariner?"

His eyes brightened and we talked a bit. He was off Cuba during the missile crisis. Whew!

One of his main memories was never being able to tell his mother where he was!

What an honor to get to meet him.

294 Good evening everyone.

My lovely wife informed me today that her Chase checking account (don't ask) is paying 0.01%.

Wow I loathe those people.

295 294 Tonypete, get out of US-chartered banks, and into state banks, if you can.

Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at March 20, 2024 09:52 PM (9yWhg)

296 Big B - almost all of our cash accounts are at Navy Federal Credit Union or a, as you said, state chartered bank. They pay much better than Chase and are easy to deal with over the phone.

I don't know why she doesn't close that account.
