30/8/20 MegMegMcGee 29

Hi gang, happy Sunday!

It’s a bit of a rough one as your Bored of Editors was on Zoom call drinking until past 11PM…which is way past my bedtime…

So you may have to forgive me if this DOT is a little short! I hope you all are having a nice and relaxing weekend.

Let me know how you are doing and if you have anything to add drop it below the line.

Roll Tide!

In Montreal, protestors tore down a statue of Sir John A. Macdonald at Place du Canada where it was beheaded as it fell to the ground. In the past, the statue has been defaced by protestors demanding that it be removed because of Canada’s first prime minister’s treatment of Indigenous people.

  1. Got up this morning, brought in the 9ft step ladder and added the final blind -why are the most difficult/high to reach areas always bloody awkward?  This covers up the last window on the main floor and keeps the sun out in the morning.
    Only had one minor hiccup when the ladder slipped a bit and I nearly did a tumble down the first flight of stairs (only 4) and better than falling head first down into the basement.
    Probably not the smartest thing to do as I was alone.  The joys of ignoring ladder safety and living single.
     

    • I fell off my roof once and my fall was fortunately broken by a bed of bromeliads. Which then had a Bryan-shaped hole for a month or so. 
       
      My point, and I do have one, is that I no longer use ladders or climb on my roof or any trees without supervision. Either my wife or daughter has to stand watch. Don’t do that shit alone, Manchu. 

  4. I was up late trying to get a project done b/c I was busy all day with hurricane shit and got up early because I do that and now I’m going to sit here cranky all day.

    • …now I’m not looking to say it never has been…or even that it isn’t still in a sufficient number of ways that there’s plenty of huddled masses yearning to be free who’d consider it an upgrade on their part of the world

      …but as a specific question to try & get an answer to from the MAGA’colyte it is shocking that even after all this time I’ve yet to see a single one look like they have an answer that doesn’t pull the rug out from under their own case?

  10. its 9pm and ive just about gotten over my hangover…
    (also thats why my risotto draft isnt sitting in my drafts folder yet sorry ellie)
    (turns out farscythe is getting old…..man i miss not getting hangovers…)

    • …I’m in no way advocating this since the collateral damage is not really an improvement in circumstances

      …but as it happens one way to avert a hangover at an increasingly advances age (it turns out) is to rarely stay asleep long enough in one go to get dehydrated enough for the bastard to catch up & slam you in the back of the head

      …but apples & oranges/swings & roundabouts & all that sort of thing…YMMV but for preference I’d skip both?

  11. Just waxed a spotted lanternfly. I literally feel better.
     
    Side note:  the 2 best things about summer here are the jersey sweet corn and jersey tomatoes. They usually last til October, but with the heavy rains, tomatoes are fucked.  Might get some at the end of Sept. Truly disappointing.
