Enough beach, Bella!
Never mind the Beach, we always go there, let’s go see the town.
the Old Water works
Old Life boat
I see a pump
Ships bells
Water, back then
Having been around the surrounding area, I noticed I hadn’t looked in my own backyard, so with some time to waste before the NC Brewery opened, I went for a walk.The water works is a neat old building, with some nice old objects to see, too bad the CCP virus has them closed.
Here are some older homes, lovingly cared for, and the old Firehouse, oh yeah!
Nice place
The old Firehouse
Also called Salt City, this might be a reason.
We make Salt?
Yes we do….
After that we parked across from North Channel Brewing and headed over the drawbridge, enjoying the color, and the Big Manistee river, East and West.
Downtown is cute and pretty, like old tourist towns usually are, the architecture is very period and cool, the Ramsdell building.
The Vogue
Downtown, the Vogue, of course, banks and shops.
then on to the riverwalk. Ever wondered how a drawbridge worked?
Now you do
Some additional Riverside color then off to the brewery, a nice walk, no crowds, peaceful really, drop by next Spring, summer is real touristy.
North Channel Brewing
Yummy beer and food
Obligatory Me
North Channel Flight
Everything I have posted will look quite different in a few months, so I will update, and maybe a real camera to take pictures with. Enjoy!
Nice pics, including your selfie. ?
That hair is gone, shaved and ready for a head tattoo, clean and on the hair line, I can grow over if need be,
You crazy bastard! (Affectionately)
What’s the tat gonna be?
Custom Viking runes, telling my life tale, sailor, builder, warrior
Unless your main job is playing in a metal band you may want to rethink that plan.

Thx Yusef. Love your travelogues. Never knew there was anything to see in that
Part of the country.
I’m noticing patterns in the architecture. Were they built by immigrants from the same place?
Poles and Swedes, so yes, fun, cute and quaint IMO
Maybe a lil phallic though. That firehouse…
It’s all Victorian architecture, with some mild Queen Anne and gothic revival touches thrown in. No different from any other town of that age.
You did read the article where I said as much?
*sigh*
Enjoying the travelogue. Thanks Yusef!
My gr/gr gr grandparents were up around there and Traverse City apparently. Then they moved to Detroit. Interesting to see it now.
Tits Ahoy 4 Yusuf!

Gorgeous, thanks!
Love the first pic of the river.
Thanks Tulpa! I still
I still have much to explore

I’ve found it interesting – living within about 50 miles of where I grew up – how many locals never know what’s within an hour’s drive of their house. Seems like it’s often the transplants that actually care to figure out all the cool places around the area. I try to do the same…always be explorin’!
I love all that architecture
Neato, huh!
Ayup…especially that gingerbready house.
This is part one, next is more houses,, including my home, Dreamboat Annie,
Little ship of dreams….
Awwww, nice!
I don’t want to spoil my next article, but, Water!
*Perks up ears*
Really nice photos. Lovely even.
I luv that puke green house ♥️
Reminds me of every little town across the Rust Belt. Some charming like that town appears to be, some barely clinging to life.
We are a tourist town now, even my shop left for better pastures, I plan on golfing out of town when it gets busy,
My mom retired to (outside of) one of those cute little villages – Le Roy, NY (home of Jell-O!). Not touristy but totally charming. But for every one of those there are dozens of sad little dead towns 🙁
I see them everywhere up here, literally swallowed up by the forest, very trippy, if it where Cali there would be homeless people squatting

Do I have to cut a bitch to get my posts in the right place
This time the URL didn’t show a comment number. Swear on my mom’s life it didn’t. Actually I hit back and checked, and it doesn’t show a number. I took that to mean it’ll post at the bottom of the page, not in response to someone. I was mistaken about that.
Really neat little town. I’m a beer geek, so it’s nice to see a brewery open (most of them here in CA can’t allow people inside due to our idiot Gov. Nuisance).
Thanks for sharing!
I mask up when I have to go in the office, your shop, your rules, but I work outside 99.9% of the time so we Dow what we what we want,
Great pictures Yusef!
I like the old buildings best.

Sounds legit.
Make me call the vote count illegitimate,,next step? Firepower, you stupid fucks…
“n the testimonial, originally posted to Facebook Live, the woman says that people who were there counting ballots throughout the evening were ready to shut down when suddenly a white van, a Chrysler 300 and a Ferarri, pulled up with over 130,000 additional ballots.”
A Ferrari?
yeah, what are things that never happened for 600 alex?
Hey Buddy, stop doing that
Headline: Trump makes baseless claims
As of this moment I have maybe 2% confidence that the USSC will do anything at all about the obvious fraud. The three lefties will vote to deny cert no matter what happened or any testimony or video evidence, which is steadily growing. Roberts, because he is compromised somehow, his spine is made of jello, or a combination of both, will also try to deny cert in order “In order to restore confidence in the voting process and to put a hard fought campaign culminating in a close but clean vote behind us.”(And the Dems are “owed” one after Bush v. Gore.) That leaves Uncle Clarence, Alito and the Trump Three to close ranks. I have my doubts that ACB wants to define her lifetime reputation in her first 60 days on the SC. My depressing prediction, 5-4 El Presidente Harris and her sock puppet biden are confirmed by the USSC.
The “truth commissions” and gun confiscation orders follow by mid spring.
Gun orders? Good luck with that, this place makes AZ look like Cali, they will not comply,
I love this place….
As always, non compliance is even better. No longer lawful gun owners, they will be insta-felons of their own making. When they get picked up for a traffic violation, or a domestic violence call, or even a noise complaint, buh-bye! And no one will support them, because they’re felons.

Perfect, Rhywun.
any testimony or video evidence, which is steadily growing.
what is the best example of this that you have?
Only takes 4 to grant certiorari
Where’s the video? A cop farts while arresting someone and there are twenty videos. Everyone carries a camera. Video documentation of these alleged frauds would be more convincing.
The standard Philly/Atlanta/Milwaukee/Detroit fraud isn’t where the issue is. The issue, if there is an issue at all, is in the mail in ballots of WI and MI, and any post Election Day ones in PA. Trump won last time despite the same fraud the big blue cities run every time.
But it is fishy as hell that somehow 500,000 more people in MI wanted to vote for Biden and not Clinton. That just doesn’t pass the smell test to me. Same with the 250,000 k in WI. I would have absolutely believed a standard turnout election where just enough Midwest swing voters swung away from Trump. I don’t believe Joe Biden got more votes in Detroit than Barack Obama did. That doesn’t pass the smell test. It just doesn’t. I would have totally believed the Midwest white voters swinging back to Scranton Joe, but I don’t believe all these people in the hood are more excited for Joe Biden then they were for Obama.
But hey, maybe they audit the mail in ballots and the fraud is just a normal amount of fraud and it’s not enough to swing the election. It’s a big country, and there very well might be 500,000 legitimate voters in Michigan who were not voting blue in 2016 but are voting blue now. But an audit can only hurt cheaters.
Very nice, stayed at the Ramsdell last time we were there and went to North Channel. Have extended family and some land in the area, it’s very pretty.
Love the pics Yusef!
Northern Michigan is a fucking slice of heaven. My in laws have a place 40 minutes north of Traverse City and my wife and I always go up there every Summer or Fall. The people are really nice and the scenery is amazing. If you get a chance, go to Friske’s Farm in Ellsworth. They serve great food and are taking a stand against the Governor’s bullshit.
https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/northern-michigan-business-suing-governor-over-mask-mandate
Hah! I’m sending a semi of tanks to Ellsworth tomorrow,
I’ve always told my wife that before things get way too unbearable in Illinois, I want to sell the house and move up there.
Come on by, cheap housing, not too backwoods, a nice place,
The Clown Prince wants to get in on the “ruining holidays action”
“At our lowest point, there were, over the summer, maybe five to 10 people hospitalized on any given day with COVID-19,” Chan said. “Currently, that number is up in the 40s.”
Chan said one of the biggest concerns facing the state is holiday travel. State guidelines call for avoiding group gatherings, celebrating only with people living under the same roof.
Officials discourage all nonessential trips, especially on planes or trains, and while no quarantine is required for travel within the six New England states, Chan said that could change.
You put a bounty on Covid patients… suddenly hospitalizing Covid patients is very profitable.
And we’re supposed to believe their numbers.
hospitalizing Covid patients is very profitable
What is Iron Law #1 for $500, Alex?
I ran into a fellow traveler… a normie who’s not a progressive zombie… and he’s mystified why it’s surprising that Covid numbers increase when you make an increase in Covid numbers profitable. His wife’s a nurse, so he has some insight… we have electronic signs all over the city highways cautioning us about masks and social distancing… and he hates them.
Do I win Glibs points for inducting a normie? Can I cash them in toward a spot in the Glibs bunker when the progpocalypse?
It would be so interesting if instead Medicare would suddenly pay hospitals a bonus for any death that can be proven NOT to be caused by covid. The overall daily death numbers would likely go way down — and the usual suspects would have a hissy fit, saying that this is an immoral disincentive to hide the true Covid death numbers. But then it would be so easy to say, “you’re right, your logic is indisputable… and therefore giving a payment incentive to claim Covid deaths must be an immoral incentive to increase the numbers as well!” It would be fun trying to see people talk their way out of that one. But of course the media would cover for them, as such arguments always only work in one direction, and anyone seeing things from both sides is by default a conspiracy theorist.
Why not? Why this game where they pretend to be cautiously reeling out bits of freedom that can be withdrawn at the stroke of a pen? If this is as doomy as they claim, why allow any freedom whatsoever?
It’s more impactful this way. You get to see the sword, hanging above your head by the thread, and if you just do exaaaaactly what we say, we’ll make sure it doesn’t fall on you.
The various governors in the region worked it out so their out of state rules don’t apply to each other. First, it would put egg on the face of their buddies and themselves, and second, there’s far too much casual state to state travel so would get flouted quickly and their paper edifice would collapse. Fuck the visitors from West Bumfuck, LA or wherever.
We got a note from the big boss today. That temporary pay cut that was going away at the end of the year, well that’s going to continue into next year. We’re all in this together.

Sorry.
Our sector of the economy is fucked for years to come.
I have been surprised by how few people have been laid off so far.
The back up plan is to retire and then look for contract engineering jobs.
Except Biden/Harris will probably ban the gig economy.
We need avionics dudes up here, if you are willing to brave the winter and work for the Chinese.
I might be biased, I want some more of your mead.
By “avionics”, do you mean “guys who were radar techs 15 years ago and haven’t done anything in electronics since then?” Because if you are….
That is one of the more evil exercises I’ve seen the left engage in lately.
Someone said they banned hi cap mags here, no, so no boating accidents needed,
Lovely pix, Yusef. You seem much happier.
I’m getting the keys to Dreamboat Annie tomorrow, my first real home, so happy
I’m starting to get a hinky vibe from all the helicopter traffic around here

I work at the airport. There’s never any helicopters around, unless something serious is happening. I also live in a really good part of town and there’s very little ghetto bird action here either. If I hear more than one and they linger, I know something is happening.
Beautiful place.
Great photos Yusef.
Thanks to all of you I’m here, you all kept me sane and alive, through my issues, now I’m Winning! Again,

College Student Found Dead in Her Dorm in Indiana After Testing Positive for Coronavirus
They got it! The one college student who died from coronavirus, well maybe not confirmed. Still close enough. Shut all the college campuses down everyone shelter in place!
Tuesday her official cause of death a blood clot, noting that “while COVID did play a role in contributing to the death, it was not caused by COVID.”
TMITE
Shhh you’re intefering with the fear mongering.
Now Covid can cause fatal emboli as well?
Is there anything Covid can’t do? It’s giving climate change a real run for its money.
So many people mourning the death of a college student… well, not her death, but close enough.
Other than the office at work, I won’t wear one because FYTW, For once I can say it, heh,
“ Shut all the college campuses down“
From your lips to god’s ears.
My wife is all defeatist. She’s lapping up the fake numbers. There’s no way this doesn’t go to court and there’s no way a decent chunk of the crooked bullshit doesn’t get undone eventually. It’s just way too much crooked shenanigans. John Roberts is no longer the final arbiter. The Dems have been cheating and lying about every single thing, right in front of all of our noses. They literally think they’re immune from prosecution. We’ll see about that. Fucking with a presidential election is not a very smart move.
I told my husband I’d wait to find out what happened on January 20.
This
I’m hoping JB comes back at the end of January when this is all over.
#metoo
I hope you’re right but I have my doubts. The establishment Republicans are being very quiet about all of this and the Supremes might punt “for the good of the nation” if it comes down to that. The long knives are out for the outsider president.
“The establishment Republicans are being very quiet about all of this”
Pence spoke up. Graham put 500 grand into the pot for lawyers. I think that they’re realizing that the new political map has the Midwest as the battleground, and if MI, PA, and WI can do this every cycle they’re never going to be able to win again, and at some point that sweet sweet rube campaign cash dries up.
Cruz and Graham were on TV pretty fired up tonight.
The conservatives in MI and WI and GA and PA and AZ and NV should be out on the streets “peacefully protesting” in front of every election counting building.
Can’t. They have to be at work.
The reason the Left always wins is that 40% of every conservatives paycheck goes to funding them.
Sad but true.
I lived through Bush v Gore, I’m calming my tits and waiting this one through to the end. My mother was bemoaning how it was so terrible that Trump was going to have to go through all these lawsuits, and he was just going to get dirty…. and I said, yeah, “You know that analogy about wrestling with pigs? In this case, Trump is the pig. That why voters elected him. Just wait and see things through to the end.”
Yes, same here. But the only way I can stay calm is if I totally ignore it.
I’d be worried if the Senate went blue. It’ll be executive orders and gridlock in Congress. Could be worse.
Unfortunately, due to my job, I can’t totally ignore it, but I’m not going to get worked up about it. I’ve spent four fucking years with the media (including my employer) ramping up the panic to 11 and my ability to give a shit has been severely dulled. I’m in “get the hell away from major metros, and into a red state where people are more inclined to leave me the hell alone, long enough for me to live out retirement in peace” mode.
Holy crap! Target Sport is just about cleaned out of .45GAP.
I used to have a Glock in 45 GAP. Soft shooting for a 45 but too hard to find decent ammunition.
I have two. I’d like to pick up a Springfield Armory XD along with a 38 and Gen3 37. Availability and pricing has become better with bulk online sites, although not as good as when it was first introduced. I like shooting them a lot, wish the caliber had become more widespread but understand why it didn’t. Had a brief moment of glory when a bunch of agencies started using them before switching to modern 9mm’s.
Looks like a good place to take it easy. Reminds me of my hometown.

Awesome pics, awesome attitude and an awesome pup.

Seeing those photos of the river reminded me of this Talking Heads song:
Did I forget to mention, to mention Memphis
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
What do I smell? I smell home cooking
It’s only the river, it’s only the river.
Haven’t been following too closely. So what hard evidence do we have of massive voter fraud? I’m not talking about, “This stuff is statistically almost impossible!”. That is relevant, but not gonna win you any court cases.
Veritas video, another woman describing 100k Biden votes coming in via sketchy means, allegations of poll monitors being shut out during counting (haven’t seen any primary source allegations of those ones).
I think it’s likely, but I’m not seeing enough provable fraud that would change the results. What exactly is the allegation regarding the 100K vote dump? Again, not saying it didn’t happen, just that saying something is fishy or sketchy doesn’t get us too far.
My understanding is that sometimes they sort the votes by party and dump the piles. That story is probably plausibly not fraud. There many others that obviously are, though.
The only reason to sort by party is so they can shit-can all the Republican votes.
Penna. doesn’t have straight party voting, so would be very hard to separate by party there.
Ditto.
I’m tapping out until the courts have their say. Because I totally trust them and stuff.
Corey Lewandowski was filming live from Philly today – monitors were shut-out despite a judicial order.
That’s the problem as I see it: they seem to have covered their tracks by do the switcheroo out of eyesight and so any attempt to discount those votes will be interpreted as disenfranchising Americans’ right to vote. They should be discounted if the chain was broken, but that isn’t going to happen.
link?
I watched on Varney this AM, but don’t have a link to that segment – this provides the basics:
https://www.theepochtimes.com/philadelphia-sheriff-not-enforcing-court-order-on-poll-observers-trump-campaign-says_3567159.html
I have seen two videos showing hinkey stuff by vote tabulators on YouTube. One shows a guy sliding some down out of sight and not into the pile. The other shows a guy reacting angerly to some ballots and cursing while balling them up and throwing then aside, then he takes and places other ballots in the pile. Both videos are getting blocked and re-appearing.
One more day, then Bella and I can finally relax and have a home, I can’t wait..
I’m excited for you!
You’ve earned it.
Thanks,,a five year land contract, I’ll pay it off, then retre at 62, yippee!

“Supremes might punt “for the good of the nation”
The BLM riots would look like a child’s birthday party compared to the riots that would occur if the Supremes throw out millions of mail in ballots and give the election to Trump. So I think they do some narrow trimming around the most egregious edges that might turn one or two states differently, but still give Biden enough EV to get 270.
Problem is no matter what there is no perception of legitimacy. If the Dems aren’t trying to cheat, they sure as hell have done a bad job, by doing things like kicking out poll watchers. So what do you get when neither side regards the electoral process as legitimate in any way shape or form. I don’t see any way the SC can hand it without either riots, or worse.
Oh and to make matters worse the populace is split about 50/59, and without clear regional lines to try to separate them.
Those extra 9% are the dead Democrat voters.
Gotta say, you’re the first guy I’ve ever heard of moving from the southwest to Michigan.
Great stuff. Really takes me back to my years in the Midwest.
Tommy Tuberville is going to be the left’s favorite punching bag. He had two tweets about the election, both hokey football metaphors.
In 2026 they’re going to have some young prog run against him and soak up 100 million in NYC and Silicon Valley money and lots and lots of adoring media coverage. Then said young prog will be conceding an hour after the polls close.
Yup. Any prog with a chance of beating Tuberville would have to have been a star player at Alabama, so perhaps get the Auburn v Alabama crowd splitting the votes. But no non-football Dem is going to have a prayer against a beloved football coach in that state. He destroyed Dem nominee Doug Jones, who won the seat just two years ago.
The Rs also should be very happy that Tuberville beat Jeff Sessions in the primary. Sessions is not a football hero, and might very well have lost to Jones.
OMG! Who is this Yusef character? Fuck off, Tulpa!
It is nice to have you around again.
That actually means a lot me to. I missed you, too, Mo’.
*to me*
back 2 days and already with the typos.
There used to be a guy around here with that handle. He was a cunte. 😛
But he had above average taste in whiskey.
Gotta take the good with the bad.
On the one hand good taste in whiskey, on the other he drove a Kia, I guess it evens out.
Ok, look, I think Trump is a bombastic blowhard and I’m proud to say I never voted for him. He talks all sorts of shit that honest people should refute. But wow, is this the sort of opening paragraph to an article you’d expect from an unbiased news organization:
Reads like something Bakedpenguin would write.

Well, something is rotten there, but let’s not say anything hasty, like assuming any of us are sane.
‘All together, GOP is behind 16k votes in those four districts’
Heh, wait until Tomorrow evening.
Paging Al Franken to the white courtesy phone.
Since CA-25 is one of those districts, I just looked at the current numbers. Garcia (r) leads but only 200 votes. yikes.
I hate when the site says “100% reporting” but not called. Because then it’s not 100% IS IT??
Well, they might need to count 102% or 103% so that the (D)s get the votes that they need.

In other words, they’re disputing an attack that’s not occurring? On their bicycles?
Disrupting, not disputing
It now appears that the trickling in votes are coming for the Senate as well. I guess the Dems have decided that if they’re going to go for it, they’re going to go for the whole thing. If they get it, they’ll cement their position and never let go. They can’t afford to once they’ve crossed this line.
I’d say this country is done.

Nice to hear some good fortune came your way, Bob! Enjoy the four seasons!
We had all 4 yesterday, now its 50, going to 70 alll weekend, one more chance to play on grass, not weed, we always have weed
For some reason I thought you were well into your seventies, and wondered how you looked so youthful in your pictures. I guess that makes sense. Morning!
And a large helping of congratulations on becoming a homeowner! ?
Well I still look good for my age, wanna golf? Or come to work for a day? I feel 35 again, Im at peace, finally. Of course my country is committing suicide just in time….
You sure do. I would certainly take you up on that offer of work but the Federal Govt might take issue with it. At least my plane tickets should be tax deductible.
Judi is off to the City this week to visit Daughter #2 and didn’t tell her Sister on the Facebook about the trip for fear of upsetting her. Said Sister lives about fifty miles away but across the invisible, magic line that separates our nations. Travel between the two countries is still verboten.
So this is how they stuff the ballots? Such brazen fraud on such a huge scale because they can absolutely get away with it?
This cannot stand! If it does it is the end of the American experiment forever.
Or, if there was any significant acknowledgement of it in the establishment/media complex, then there could be a way to correct for it, but there won’t be, and I fear you’re right.
Good morning, Festus. Despite that dope Trudeau, Kanuckistan looks better every day in comparison, eh.
We still have the means to control our destiny, while the Commonwealth gave that away for Safety! Dont forget our guns….
We have always been more compliant than our nieghbours to the south. They stole our freedoms incrementally so it didn’t seem to matter much. Something something King and Country something something. We’ve always had a spine for fighting FOR the government but are collectively limber-dicked when it comes to fighting against the diktats. Wouldn’t be polite, eh?
Tough military, small but very effective, you guys are alright by me, and also, Rush! KITH!
Noo, I supposes not, eh.
*shrugs, drops pants, and throws a fresh poop at an unfortunate Tim Horton’s employee*
I never said that we weren’t a contentious people. It’s just that we’ve been ruled from the top down for our entire history. The Union Jack and the Fleure De Lis are still very important cultural touchstones. We like to fight amongst ourselves and let the beaurocrats do the heavy lifting when it comes to governance.
Blatant fraud and nothing meaningful will be done. Stick a fork in it, it’s done. At least the veil of legitimacy has been pulled off of our voting system but there are going to be dark days ahead.
Ive been to Manistee before.
Breakfast TALL CANS! Hey YUFUS
Good morning, homey, Festus, and YUFUS if you’re still around – thanks for the travelogue. Lotsa quaint little towns like Manistee between me & you up the western edge of Ohio. Kinda wish we could find a place out in the country near one of them and bug out of this blue county.
It’s all pretty much bush around here but if you travel North-east across the Rockies there are tons of old dead ghost towns and way stations where the Great Plains begin. Derelict churches, abandoned cemeteries and the like. If you ever go on a road trip with Judi you can expect that the travel time will be about twice what was planned. Fecking photographers… Mornin’ Red!
“It’s all pretty much bush around here…”
Ah, dating in the 1980s, amirite ?
Howdy GT and Tres and all you other nutjobs! Off to count steel, Cheers!

I thought I’d greeted people earlier, but I apparently never posted the comment.

you should add some variety to your greetings.
No.

I’m no soldier, and you’re in no position to give me orders.
As mentioned above, Judi is away for a week so I think I’ll kick up my heels a little! Leave the toilet seats up, hang the toilet tissue the wrong way, let the dog sleep on the bed. Yep, I’m a rebel and a loner 🙂

I can’t abide a dirty, cluttered kitchen. I’ll be using one spoon, one knife and one fork. A plate and a bowl. One mug for tea and other beverages. Probably a cast-iron skillet and one sauce pan. I’ll use my trusty blade for any chopping. One spatula and plenty of tinfoil for the oven. I worked out of an RV for about 8 years so minimalist lifestyle is ingrained.
You wild and crazy guy!
We can no longer hang the TP at all since one of the cats discovered it can roll. Tried flipping it backwards, but then he just clawed it to shreds. Now gotta just set it on the tank lid.
LOL I remember those days. I would arrive home from work to find shredded TP trailing out of the bathroom and down the hallway.
Our boys are 16 and 14. It still happens.
As someone who never lived with a woman I don’t get the toilet seat thing. I mean I assume it is a running joke not a real thing.
Ever gone to sit while sleepy and forgotten to put the seat down? I favor a default of seat AND lid down as most equitable.
Ever gone to sit while sleepy and forgotten to put the seat down – no.
Best trading for that is a dog who drinks out of the toilet and gives sloppy kisses 😉
As a proper shitlord, I do not worry about such matters. The seat stays in the position I used.
Yufus- once the weather breaks, you should get to Beaver Island. (heh…..beaver)
It has quite the history, not to mention once being a Mormon Kingdom.
Mormon Kingdom? That’s where as Patriarch you get the pick of the litter of your finest Nieces and Cousins once removed?
Sister told me about it, cool pics from their trip! Will see
Morning to all!
Morning, Festus.
Afraid I’m going right back to sleep for a few hours.
Hey, Yusef! Outstanding photojournalism. I love the building architecture pics! Great autumn colors. You’re right; it will look very different in a few months. Fresh snow is lovely; covers up the gray slush from earlier snows.
Have fun exploring!
why are you afraid of going to sleep? bad dreams?
Freddy Krueger.
I love places where they build with brick. Almost nothing like that up here. They used what came to hand which was lots and lots and lots of timber. Some of the “old” neighborhoods have brick homes but they were reserved for the Doctors and such. Bricks had to come up the river via paddle wheeler.
Salutations Glibs.
Hopefully your day won’t suck.
That seems like where the bar should be set, right?
I have a meeting where we have to discuss with rather siloed technical people an issue that exists at the intersection of an PeopleSoft, the CIFS protocol, RedHat, and Active Directory.
The incuriousity of technicians outside their silo is in of itself a depressant. Getting them to help work out what needs to be changed to fix the problem… is never fun.
Isn’t RedHat some sort of club for geriatric Ladies?
It’s a Linux Distribution.
I disagree. The RedHat Club is a loosely affiliated organization for women of a “certain age” that enables them to get together over tea and probably gin to discuss lefty talking points that their dead husbands would never countenance.
Fuck that, set her high enough to drown out the interference! Kinda like turning the ear-buds up to drown out annoying conversations while standing in the sheep lines.
Sheep go to heaven.
They are a tight band! Their big hit led me to come up with a verse for my ex – “I want a girl with a short fuse and a loooong memory!”
Sigh… a student in my kid’s school came down with the ChiComPox. Their one day of real school per week (Friday) has been cancelled. I’m so tired of all this bullshit. This mask and panic shit is gonna be like that chucklefuck Richard Reid ensuring that everyone has to take off their shoes to board an airplane.
Yep. I’ll be donning the talismask for the first time on Tuesday when I pick up meds for namesake cat because the virus jumps between animals and humans and one can never be too safe, dontcha know! Fuck. I was really hoping to come out of this as a virgin but I guess my name ain’t Mary. I’ll be using one of Judi’s that she used and kept in the car. It was nice knowing ya.
