Hi, friends!
It’s Sunday night. BOOOOOOOO work tomorrow.
We finally got some rain this afternoon, like for half an hour. It’s been ridiculously dry this summer.
I got some butternut squash at the grocery store, looking forward to roasting it tomorrow. It’s a work from home day tomorrow, and I can’t wait to rage cook between meetings/emergencies/dumpster fires.
*in national news, apparently some dude snuck onto the Mar-A-Lago golf course and shots were fired near Trump. I don’t know if it’s another attempt on him or not.
I can’t imagine someone inciting violence in a nation full of guns and undiagnosed mental problems (and a history of violence against top candidates) would turn out well for anyone.
I still keep thinking back to the Manchurian Candidate… but nah. It’s too Rube Goldberg and insane to try…
Whatever this was it was not some skilled assassin but otherwise who the hell knows. Probably not suicide by cop either. But that leaves about a million other possibilities.
Well, the gun recovered was an AK-47 style rifle, so I doubt it was owned by a Democrat. I could be wrong. If I’m right, though, that’s gonna put a damper on all the MAGA narrative about liberal terrorists.
It’s ironic that the individual most responsible for stochastic terrorism in the United States is being targeted by it.
That’s probably the worst rifle to shoot at a relatively long range.
It’s pretty much indestructible, got a powerful cartridge (compared to the AR-15 5.56mm round) and it can shoot with mud/sand in the mechanism unlike the AR-15 which jams if you sneeze in its general direction, but it’s also pretty inaccurate past 200m compared to other rifles including an AR-15.*
Outside of one Dem (the Scalise shooting), it’s been GOPer crazies or general crazies doing the shooting. And yeah, I’m not surprised that he’s bringing the wrath of the crazies down on himself.
I don’t think it will put a damper on MAGA’s crazy false flag lib conspiracies because it’s MAGA. They can’t/won’t accept any responsibility for anything. They’re still blaming the FBI and Black Lives Matter and the Dems for Jan 6 even though every single one of them was a MAGAt. Can’t unfuck that couch no matter what.
*Suck on that ammosexuals.
And you “win”!
I finally mowed my lawn.
But it’s the night shift part of my work rotation so I work tonight. Bleah.
You should send some of that rain our way. I’d like to be able to mow one more time before I go on my road trip but it’s been so dry that there’s little growth.
I cut our lawn nice and short in advance of predicted rain, which is good because the dogs hate peeing on long wet grass for some reason.
Rains every damn day here. I’d happily send you some.
I also do not like peeing on long wet grass.
I can’t say I’ve ever peed on long, wet grass, but I concur the experience does not sound enjoyable.
I like pooping on long wet grass because you simultaneously get a bidet effect—wait, weren’t we just talking about nautical-themed songs?
last week before a week off
course the mil managed to throw a last minute spanner in the works as her holiday buddy cancelled sooo the missus got a call yesterday asking if she wants to come with to greece this thursday
missus hasnt agreed yet…..but i somehow doubt shes gonna turn down a freebie to greece
which means im probably gonna have to amuse myself and look after the cats and occasionally feed the daughter whilst shes gone
meh….
on the upside tho….thats still gonna be less painfully boring than spending two weeks with the mil….tho ill still be a little jelly of not being in greece
Send the cats to Greece with the Missus, you stay with the MIL, and your daughter feeds you.
No, wait, send the daughter to feed Greece, your cats go to your MIL, and the Missus fills in for you at work.
No wait, everyone at work goes to Greece with the cats, your MIL feeds the Missus, and you keep working.
Everyone in Greece comes and does your job, the cats, the daughter and the Missus feed each other, and you go to Greece.
I feel like there’s a winning combination in there somewhere.
Come to think of it, maybe you could come pee on the wet grass in my backyard so the dogs can go to Greece. Not sure where that leaves everyone else in the equation.
lol gonna be a hellova trip just to come pee on your grass but sounds like a plan
I got a shed with skylights in the back yard you can stay in, if you really want to enjoy outside bathroom time. I live near a lot of wooded areas and parks so you could become an urban legend pretty quickly.
ooo luxury accomodation and options! im in!
