Bill lives close to me in La Crosse and plays around here all the time. He’s good friends with one of my friends, so got to see him play an intimate show at their house. He’s a very nice, humble guy.
I have a really good recording I made last December with Bill and my buddy Cheech doing an acoustic show trading off songs. I’ll have to send you a youtube link when I get it put up. It was a very good show. Here’s a sample. I’m gonna put up the whole show together with Bill’s stories included.

The cold killed off the big ones several years back. When I moved in to my house in 2005 we had several that were 5 feet long hanging out on the dock. Ugly SOB’s when they get that big. But kinda cool in a prehistoric way. Except for the huge poops they take.
We are starting to see big ones again – most are not quite that big yet, but some are getting close.
When we have cold weather they just shut down, so you’ll see them dropping out of trees all over the place.

Gov. Reynolds announced a new proclamation during her Friday press conference that addresses concerns about students and staff returning to schools this fall. It also states that in-person learning is the preferred method of instruction.
First, it directs all state agencies, school districts and local governments to focus on being able to safely welcome back students and teachers to school in-person this fall. Gov. Reynolds said schools and families would have some remote learning options but that more than half of all learning must be in-person.

Ya, that pissed me off a bit off as well. I have to play the game at work because I can’t find another job right now, but the statewide mandate was a bit over the line. I got barked at by a convenience store Karen first thing this morning. It made me a lot madder than I thought it would. Like anger I had when I was young and could not control my anger. I knew it might happen so I was prepared but I was surprised at my internal reaction. I looked at her, pulled my neck buff up went to get a protein drink out of the cooler, thought about it, put the drink back and walked out of the store. I am not sure if it was the mandate or the joy the behind the counter Karen took in telling every construction worker walking in at 6 am to put a mask on or don’t come in. I will not enter that store again as long as I live. Ya, I can hold a grudge. On the way home I went to the liquor store and having been friendly with the girls that work there I masked up before entering so I didn’t have to make them yell at me. I asked if they were telling everyone to wear a mask. They said no of course not. People can choose to comply or not. That brought a bit of a relief to me. It is not like the law is going to enforce the Gov’s mandate over here. As far as I know all the sheriffs in the closest three counties said they will not participate in enforcing any of this.

today I learned
beavers have orange teeth because of the iron content – that’s what makes their teeth so strong
For all rodents, the outermost facing incisors are yellow orange and are harder than the tooth matter facing the inside of the mouth. That’s how they keep them sharp by gnawing: it wears away the white weaker part faster, leaving a nice sharp outer layer.
Rabbits don’t have this; they are lagamorphs, not rodents.

Best way to get a nice clean skull (if you are into that) is to put the carcass in a metal cage so larger predators can’t get it, and leave it on the ground outside (away from buildings).
Beetles and ants will pick it clean, sun will bleach it. Way faster and less nasty than boiling.

In the comments everyone seems to think it’s the funniest meme they ever saw. They wouldn’t know something actually clever and funny if their lives depended on it.
An unlucky fella broke his penis while “trying to go harder” in a 5am hotel sex session – before a doctor said his twisted todger looked like it had been in a “car accident”.
Stomach-churning photos show the mutilated member being stitched up by medics in Lagos, Nigeria.
Sharing the grisly images, the surgeon who repaired the wrecked willy said: “Men have been experiencing unpleasant trauma while trying to go harder during coitus with their women.
“I even had a patient with such injury last weekend. Some injuries may be mild while some had to undergo surgical procedure to rectify the damages caused.
“It was forceful bending of the penis during vaginal intercourse.
“It also happens with a sharp blow to the erect penis during a fall, car accident, traumatic masturbation, or other mishap.”
My advice: save up and buy a doll or two.
Sally Jessy will never evilly encourage you to vigorously thrust her. She is a fragile gal who likes a gentle needling.

Researchers at MIT have shown that it’s possible to wirelessly power a 60-watt lightbulb sitting about two meters away from a power source. Using a remarkably simple setup–basically consisting of two metal coils–they have demonstrated, for the first time, that it is feasible to efficiently send that much power over such a distance. The experiment paves the way for wirelessly charging batteries in laptops, mobile phones, and music players, as well as cutting the electric cords on household appliances, says Marin Soljačić, professor of physics at MIT, who led the team with physics professor John Joannopoulos.

In Hong Kong, press wear reflective yellow safety vests with “press” or “media” emblazoned so they actually stand out. In Portland, the “professional” establishment media wears street clothes (and gone are the days when a reporter wore a suit while working) and the freelancers dress in black and protective gear like antifa with barely distinguishable lettering. The freelancers deliberately place themselves so that the police can’t distinguish them from the rest of antifa, actively screen and cover for the criminal acts of others, and other acts to aid and abet the criminals. Yet if they get touched, they do a flop worthy of the World Cup.

As Friday night protests got underway, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced that she intended to sue the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Federal Protection Service in federal court. Rosenblum said the state’s suit will allege the federal agencies seized and detained Oregonians without probable cause.
Rosenblum also said the state would launch a criminal investigation into the shooting by federal officers of Donavan La Bella in the face with a less-lethal munition Saturday, critically injuring him.
Funny how state officials weren’t demanding that the feds give up when Malhuer was occupied. Funny how Rosenblum didn’t publicly announce a criminal investigation when state troopers murdered Lavoy Finicum.

Ravens are fun. All Corvids are pretty clever. I half tamed a Jackdaw in college in Stockholm. They take to it well.

In my former life, I knew Bill quite well. Great musician in many genres.
Bill lives close to me in La Crosse and plays around here all the time. He’s good friends with one of my friends, so got to see him play an intimate show at their house. He’s a very nice, humble guy.
I have a really good recording I made last December with Bill and my buddy Cheech doing an acoustic show trading off songs. I’ll have to send you a youtube link when I get it put up. It was a very good show. Here’s a sample. I’m gonna put up the whole show together with Bill’s stories included.

A baby leopard escaped from its enclosure at a South Carolina zoo, prompting guests to be temporarily moved to indoor areas, city officials said.
Could’ve just made everybody wear a mask instead.
He was spotted outside of his enclosure?
Wouldn’t it have been more efficient to just move the baby leopard inside?
Police and firefighters were summoned to a home in Colorado where witnesses reported a highly unusual sight: an iguana perched on the roof.
Is there a new breed of killer iguanas I don’t know about?
They got ’em in Florida, I hear.
The cold killed off the big ones several years back. When I moved in to my house in 2005 we had several that were 5 feet long hanging out on the dock. Ugly SOB’s when they get that big. But kinda cool in a prehistoric way. Except for the huge poops they take.
We are starting to see big ones again – most are not quite that big yet, but some are getting close.
When we have cold weather they just shut down, so you’ll see them dropping out of trees all over the place.
The stories about that last winter amazed me. That seems like a bad evolutionary trait.

We have an otter that lives in the pond behind our house. I don’t think I want to know what would happen to our dogs if they ever came face to face with him – he’s a grumpy old sod…
They’ll drown a dog if they get to them in the water.
I have driven through Olathe KS and I don’t blame that dog a bit for leaving.
‘Colton Michael said family members returned to their home in Lawson, Mo.’
I spent a good chunk of my youth living just six miles away from Lawson, Mo…
This dog clearly suffered recent brain damage or was born fucking retarded.
We nearly moved to Olathe, and I stayed there both directions on my trip. It’s kinda depressing. Although I like KC itself. (I have relatives there for the last 50 years.)

My sister is now stuck with 3 dogs of her choosing plus 3 cats. She has two adult children now at home thanks to Covid cancellation of college on-campus life.

Governor of Colorado issued state wide mask mandate yesterday. I am furious.
Because he should have done it sooner? Why did he wait for grandma to die?
Because it kills .05 percent of people. And I don’t even like those people.
Sorry DJ. Just yanking your chain. Gov Kunt did it here last week.
It kills a fraction of a percent in the short term. In the long term literally every single person who gets the Covids will DIE!
Name: every person born alive.
Cause of death: being born.
Welcome to the party, pal.
In contrast:
Gov. Reynolds announced a new proclamation during her Friday press conference that addresses concerns about students and staff returning to schools this fall. It also states that in-person learning is the preferred method of instruction.
First, it directs all state agencies, school districts and local governments to focus on being able to safely welcome back students and teachers to school in-person this fall. Gov. Reynolds said schools and families would have some remote learning options but that more than half of all learning must be in-person.
Gaultier Newsom just went in the opposite direction. I will be ranting about it in GlibFit.
Ya, that pissed me off a bit off as well. I have to play the game at work because I can’t find another job right now, but the statewide mandate was a bit over the line. I got barked at by a convenience store Karen first thing this morning. It made me a lot madder than I thought it would. Like anger I had when I was young and could not control my anger. I knew it might happen so I was prepared but I was surprised at my internal reaction. I looked at her, pulled my neck buff up went to get a protein drink out of the cooler, thought about it, put the drink back and walked out of the store. I am not sure if it was the mandate or the joy the behind the counter Karen took in telling every construction worker walking in at 6 am to put a mask on or don’t come in. I will not enter that store again as long as I live. Ya, I can hold a grudge. On the way home I went to the liquor store and having been friendly with the girls that work there I masked up before entering so I didn’t have to make them yell at me. I asked if they were telling everyone to wear a mask. They said no of course not. People can choose to comply or not. That brought a bit of a relief to me. It is not like the law is going to enforce the Gov’s mandate over here. As far as I know all the sheriffs in the closest three counties said they will not participate in enforcing any of this.
The city passed a mandatory mask bylaw this week. I have not worn a mask. The magic words are “I am in an exempt group”.
Identity politics FTW!
Went into my formerly favorite sub shop and had this exchange.
Clerk: where’s your mask?
Me: Medical exemption
Clerk: then you probably shouldn’t be outside
Me: I’ve got to work. I’ve also got to eat, but guess it won’t be here anymore.

Yeah, I’m thinking we are looking at the early stages of a serious societal breakdown. Not irretrievable, yet, but I’m thinking things are getting beyond what our current government can handle. So, more repression on the way, likely. Possibly, unless the leftists run the table, local “militias” becoming a necessity(?). So, I spent some time today thinking about what that might look like, and looking at body armor.
Yeah, really weird that there are so many municiple governments actively trying to screw over their own people to make a political point. and even more odd… the people seem to be bending over and taking it.
How in the world the mayors of Seattle and Portland have not been run out of town on a rail is beyond me. And nobody in Chicago seems all that upset about the murder rate.
Then again, they made Cuomo a rock star for killing 20k old folks. So yeah.. strange times.
“So yeah.. strange times.”
It really is. And it’s going going to result in not a “white flight” but a “I’m a fairly sane person flight” from cities.
Does anyone think a Nixonian authoritarian push will happen soon? That worries me too, but at that point its law and order vs…lawless disorder?
Freedom loses is what I mean.
They clearly believe that the chaos of destruction will lead to the erasure of capitalism ant the rise of a socialist state.
The large majority of Portland is culturally left and deplores Republicans in general and Trump (really whatever Republican is currently the Emmanuel Goldstein) in particular. And large chunks of that group are sympathetic to the protesters’ stated goals. You only have to look at the politicians that the city and region have been electing for the past twenty years (more, but competence level has dropped precipitously).
GL the local populace is still supporting the mayor even with the violence, property damage, and looting?
I think there’s plenty of vexation most places, and rising fast – it just doesn’t get any play in 95% of the national media, which is absolutely determined to pretend that there’s no violenca4, at least not from the left.
If the Fedgov starts posturing against antifa, all those running their mouths & video on Twitter might be a little regretful.
today I learned
beavers have orange teeth because of the iron content – that’s what makes their teeth so strong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJjaQExOPPY
For all rodents, the outermost facing incisors are yellow orange and are harder than the tooth matter facing the inside of the mouth. That’s how they keep them sharp by gnawing: it wears away the white weaker part faster, leaving a nice sharp outer layer.
Rabbits don’t have this; they are lagamorphs, not rodents.
Two weeks ago I learned that a weeks old beaver carcass is much larger than you’d expect, and stinks like hell.
This is what my time hiking in Peterson Park near Duluth/Superior taught me.
Best way to get a nice clean skull (if you are into that) is to put the carcass in a metal cage so larger predators can’t get it, and leave it on the ground outside (away from buildings).
Beetles and ants will pick it clean, sun will bleach it. Way faster and less nasty than boiling.

I was a hired Karen today.
HR called to let me know that one of my direct reports was not wearing his mask today. They wanted me to talk to him.
So I called. “Hey, dude. It’s me. A little birdie told me you were without mask today.”
Him: “Wow, already? I forgot to put it in when I left my office for the restroom. A guy stopped me and took my name.”
Me: “no problem, it’s easy to forget. Just stuff an extra in your pocket.”
Him: “I’m sorry …(yada yada…)
Me: “you know how I feel about the masks. The less said, the better.”
” A guy stopped me and took my name.”
jfc
I run a “social distance and wear your mask” office and it seems to work out.
I advised my guy that if that happened again, he should also take the Karen’s name.
That is just for my future reference file of “dudes not to let work on my projects.”
Would be a shame if your guy said his name was “Seymour Butts”.

Even inductance would require some initial current.

Researchers at MIT have shown that it’s possible to wirelessly power a 60-watt lightbulb sitting about two meters away from a power source. Using a remarkably simple setup–basically consisting of two metal coils–they have demonstrated, for the first time, that it is feasible to efficiently send that much power over such a distance. The experiment paves the way for wirelessly charging batteries in laptops, mobile phones, and music players, as well as cutting the electric cords on household appliances, says Marin Soljačić, professor of physics at MIT, who led the team with physics professor John Joannopoulos.

First with a pair of binoculars and then — maybe — with the naked eye. And from a suburb no less.
We are so south here it has been hard to get nice views of NEOWISE. I have caught it a couple of times. It is a decent binocular comet.
For the northern Glibs (in NA or Europe) NEOWISE is almost circumpolar so you can catch it most of the night.
We are going to drive up to the mountains and look tomorrow night. May or may not take the telescope.

Missing from the article, or any other news stories: pictures of how these freelance “journalists” were dressed. In Hong Kong, press wear reflective yellow safety vests with “press” or “media” emblazoned so they actually stand out. In Portland, the “professional” establishment media wears street clothes (and gone are the days when a reporter wore a suit while working) and the freelancers dress in black and protective gear like antifa with barely distinguishable lettering. The freelancers deliberately place themselves so that the police can’t distinguish them from the rest of antifa, actively screen and cover for the criminal acts of others, and other acts to aid and abet the criminals. Yet if they get touched, they do a flop worthy of the World Cup.

Wonder Dog Understands 1022 Words

Herding dogs like Border Collies and Aussies are more smarter than your average dog. I had an Aussie and the dog was uncanny intelligent compared to any other dog I’ve ever had.
My mini Aussie pretends not to understand 1022 words when it suits her.
My Aussie used to pretend to have not herded my neighbors cattle and terrorized his chicken house while I was gone to the store for 30 minutes. He’d be lying there right on my front porch door mat right by the door where I told him to stay while I was gone, looking all innocent.
And then my neighbor would come up there and say ‘That silver and black devil of yours was down here again trying to eat my chickens!’. And I’d say ‘Trust me, if he wanted to eat your chickens, they’d be eaten, he was just playing’. And then ‘You’d better keep him up there, I’m going to shoot him next time!’.

Funny how state officials weren’t demanding that the feds give up when Malhuer was occupied. Funny how Rosenblum didn’t publicly announce a criminal investigation when state troopers murdered Lavoy Finicum.
This intergovernmental conflict is exciting. Maybe democrat controlled states can secede to form a confederation.
? ? ?
What we’re going to see over the next couple of years is a mass exodus of all these democrat controlled cities. If the Democrats can get all three branches of government this fall, which their polls are saying is a 100% sure thing, anyone living there will not be able to leave, by executive order, because of Coronvirus, which will no longer exist. And then, civil war.
GL I know metro Oregon areas have voted Team Blue for 20+ years but do they still like what their pols are doing? I would guess at some point the violence, property destruction, and looting would turn off the local citizens.
They don’t have full on communism yet, so how can anyone be happy? Commie utopia is the only thing that ever makes anyone happy, or else.
They seem to be. I’m in the PDX area. And the folks that live in Portland proper are deep blue. Though I think patience is wearing thin from the downtown business types. It’s not yet worn through. It’ shard to describe to people from sane parts of the country how retarded the people here are.
I have a close friend of 20+ years who was Portland born and raised. No having a rational, non-political discussion with him the last three years, even though we share a technical/artistic discipline. I miss him.
I have a co-worker who lives in Portlandia. Actually outside of Portlandia. One day we were working together and I said something about the show ‘Portlandia’, after a brief pause, he said ‘There are actually people like that here!’. I said ‘Really? I didn’t think that was true’.
But it’s like this, there are the sane lefty leaning guys like him there, and then there are the ‘Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs’ people, who make up the majority.
The entire West Coast is lost, just give it to China and then nuke it.
Thanks CA. That is genuinely astonishing to me. I would have thought by now people would be clamoring for some peace and quiet.
We’ll see. Portland Business Alliance has steadily accepted and embraced taxation, government growth, and generally the entire leftist agenda.
The electorate is voting in ever more insane leftist types. I’d say they largely do.
To clarify, before it was standard [Democrat] politicians (ones climbing the greasy pole, make a buck, or massaging their ego). It’s shifted to room temperature retarded and true believers.
They’re probably in huge denial about it, though. Trump is this great totem of evil on which all blame must be placed, and therefore the only solution is to vote for more blue.

Wife and I are looking at houses to buy. 11 months until lease is up and I really do not want to buy out any of that, but you can never start to soon. Who knows what the market will look like this time next year, I don’t even have a guess. I think we’re looking at 2 properties this weekend, neither of which have any chance of still being for sale next year, but at least it’s something to do.

Apparently the property market is “booming” here with city folks (mostly Londoners) desperate to escape the urban hell they’ve been voting for, or realising they’ve been able to work effectively from home the whole time.
