I received a summons for jury duty for three days starting yesterday. I show up, put my stuff in a bin, take my belt off and away we go. I did get my belt back. Got seated and now it was time to wait until called. Someone comes to the front and announces the judge is sick and we are free to go and don’t need to come back. I’m free for at least three years. Unfortunately I had to go back to work though and finish out the day. So with that unexpected news we got to go to market and hit up the Goodie Shoppe today. Also picked up some good coffee from the small coffee shop nearby.

We will need to sage the hell out of this place. Ellie doesn’t there is enough sage to do it though.

I’d volunteer that Decommissioned prison for the Trump Admin.
The Belichick/Brady era left such a bad taste in my mouth that I’m not sure I could ever like the Patriots.
Also, I’ve been to Craigsville, Virginia and you don’t want to live there, sexy former correctional facility or not. Plus, I doubt the bathrooms are up to my standards.
…oh, god it’s even more of a me problem than the crap I ended up comparing to bloody sonnets on the damn DOT but this is clearly just this sort of a day for me today…so…no idea what setting decided that this trailer would display machine transcribed subtitles…but…full disclosure…I got as far as “Heathley” & now I’m going to find out how to turn *that* the fuck off so I can give the wuthering heights thing a fair shake?
I’ve got a helluva clubhouse for us!
Cheap Trick still putting out new music? Who knew?
…if we’re down to pick-your-walking-dead-compound real estate…I think you want something with hydro for power & in enough volume to keep a water treatment deal going without the lights having to be off & probably in an ideal world big enough batteries for the electric fence to be a neutral drain even when the zombies are cooking like insects on a coil…& those are probably like hens’ teeth?
…on the other hand the sort of glacial backstopped fertile land + spring with natural walls on 3 sides the protagonists in that death of grass number were trying to make it to fencing off in the welsh valleys hardly seems hard to come by if the landscape is the one all those louis l’amour books had the sacketts & such setting up to shack up with whoever it was that proved to be good enough to ride the river with or whatever?
