Okay, enough of that malarkey. A fucking balloon has completely freaked out the entire country. A balloon.
There will be no balloon links.
Yep. A place that’s known for being bitterly cold in the winter is bitterly cold.
Screaming Lemon sounds like a great band name.
Who could have possibly anticipated this?
There’s some serious joke material in here.
Peace out, Glibbies.
Texans having to deal with a little cold is an endless source of entertainment.
Sloopy is a whiny bitch.
Didn’t he spend 4 years in Columbus OH?
What do you think made him a whiny bitch?
Ouch. That’s where I live.
His definition of “bitterly cold” differs pretty drastically from mine.
Flaunting your NoDak privilege again?
Privilege isn’t exactly the word I’d use, but there was a 60 degree difference between our locales that day.
TBF, thereโs also a lot to be said about being prepared and used to things.
My brother moved to NC a while back; they shut down when they got a couple inches of snow, not because theyโre effete girly-men but because Wake county literally owned one snow plow.
I didn’t criticize the lack of snow/ice equipment at all. I get that. All I’m saying is that 38 above zero is not “bitterly cold”.
Well, youโre not wrong there. I mistakenly thought you were referring to the ice issues they had.
Iโm not gonna bother with a hat until it drops below 20.

At a place I used to work at, they had an office in Cleveland, OH, as well as an office in Cleveland, GA. One winter, the GA location closed “due to inclement weather” and sent out pictures to everyone in the company so we could all be appalled at what they were dealing with. It was a light dusting of snow, the OH office replied back with the 6-8 foot snow piles that were in our parking lot that year, and I believe some of the other rural northern offices also replied back.
It took them a while to live that down.
It’s not funny dammit.
It’s funny when it happens to other people.
Losing power to an all-electric house in Austin during an ice storm was when I realized an all-electric house was a really stupid idea.
In case you wanted to know the first lady’s sober thoughts on the balloon shoot down.
*eyeroll*
Our leaders really are embarrassing.
As I said last night – Joe is the old fool who would have left OBL hidden away in Pakistan rather than take the risk to call for a raid.
But he’s the same clown who has gotten us closer to a hot war with Russia in our entire history.

“F-22 Raptors from Langley Air Force base on Saturday. ”
We had to send more than one of these for a balloon…I think a single F-16 would have sufficed.
It’s longstanding doctrine that military aircraft always deploy in flights of two (at a minimum, I guess.)
Huh. Just like cops.
lolffs
We’ll always have Chinese Spy Balloon…
“Screaming Lemon”
This incident seems to have soured his reputation.
He has a rather acidic attitude
He seems to be losing his ap-peel
Surely, you zest.
Pucker up buttercup.
The fact that he’s a shit might be a bitter pill for CNN to swallow.
I gather you people think all these lemon puns are rather pithy.
That really rinds my gears.
But he must be a start because there is already has a candy named for him- Lemmon Heads.
How dare you besmirch the good name of a great theater candy by associating it with that … person.
Enough!
*narrows gaze*
“Thereโs some serious joke material in here.”
Nothing comes to mind.
That was a very thoughtful response.
Hey Spud!
Did the warm weather make it there, yet?
My buddy’s Garmin watch alerted (and freaked out) his wife during a mountain bike race. I decided to not set mine up and take my chances.
48 today, 17 three days ago.
There it is. Still sitting on my front steps watching the sun go down and enjoying 53.
Lame
Qualified immunity will be done away with after The First That Shall Change Everything. And we will finally have a final solution to people like MikeS and his seconding ilk.
In other words, it will never be done away with.
I assure everyone that the child First growing in my man-womb as is real as can be.
Saturday is upon us and I’m at home waiting for the weather to warm up. So, here’s the Zoom/Happy Hour/Discussion room that’ll be kicked off at 2000 Eastern.
1. The Chinese doctor did no time. He was likely supported by the CCP who hardly give a fuck about bioethics.
2. He wouldn’t be back in business doing research if they really had a problem with what he did.
No shit. He would be an organ donor.
C’mon, just one balloon link:

Wrong…..I preferred Nena. Damnit!
The boy is at an exciting time tonight. Just about to turn 16, out on a date with a girl that makes me wish I were 16 again, and SCARED TO DEATH. Mrs. Muzzled said his hands were shaking on the way to pick her up.
Knock the back out of it, kid!
Ouch!
So good. It’s gonna be so much fun for you over the coming years to give him shit about today!
That happened to me too at that age. Also might now if I had dated in the past 20 years.
โDonโs a bossy guy and difficult to work with โ even he would admit that. He was a solo act before. He doesnโt want to be in Destinyโs Child,โ the source added, referring to the music group headlined by Beyoncรฉ in the early aughts.
Others close to Lemon confirmed the former primetime anchor is โnot happyโ about sharing the limelight with Harlow and Collins.
โDon has an intractable ego,โ a source close to both Licht and Lemon said. โMy understanding is he wants the show to be about him. I donโt know how you fix that. Itโs a very difficult situation.โ
How do you fix that? It’s easy. Let the prima donna start his own network.
If he wasn’t gay and black, he’d be fired. That simple. No one gives a fuck about Don Lemon in the real world.
Nobody saw this coming.
Prepare my fainting couch.

And some people wonder why there’s a shortage of rental housing.
An ex-housemate who turned into a bum left the city but called up later wanting my spare bedroom. I told him no and never heard from him again. I knew I would never get rid of him.
That is a crazy story. Maybe the mafia can go do a mitzvah.

Stay weird, Austin.
Indeed. last time I was there I thought I was going to have fight an under the bridge dweller. Don’t touch my car mutherfucker.
Some excitement at the shit shack. I was watching Super Bowl highlights and bolt of lightning his the tsunami siren about 150ft from my chair. Heck of a boom and it lit up the inside of the house.
Hopefully Broadway Joe holds onto to the lead.
I’ll bet on it.
We doin’ a talkie?
No, just silent movies.
Huh, pegged you for a vaudeville kinda guy.
I’ll kindly ask you not to peg me, thank you very much.
…I’m a lonely man.
Take a twenty and go downtown.
Nice. Watching Creature on Svengoolie with the Spaniard. We are outside. Good weather tonight. I dropped you an email.
Stayed awhile at the Hotel Schweizerhof in Luzern, Switzerland. They have 101 “Storytelling” rooms that are based off previous guests who have stayed there. I was lucky enough to get the Nena room. It had red balloon wall graphics and a record player in the room with several of her albums available.
In NYC the Library Hotel is a few steps from the Main Branch of the NY Library. It is 10 stories tall and the in each room are a bunch of books from that number in the Dewey Decimal system. The 10th floor has a bar and breakfast place filled with books. It is a great place for a bibliophile.
One Firstserker will be worth a thousand seconder lives on the battlefield.
The Great Firsters Council does not approve of you blabbing all our battle plans. Loose lips and all that.
Child of seconding, you know not of what you speak. And when the armies of First and second meet to decide the fate of man as I begin my ascension, you will feel a defeat and sense of shame that you did not, in your vain and feeble seconding mind, know even existed.
Accuweather real feel(tm) is like QBR, a made up marketing number. We had -30 real scale(tm) night before last and it wasnโt even a thing. Car started right up for work in the morning. Hell itโs been a nice winter so far. Only a couple cold spells and nothing below -35 real scale(tm). Mostly teens and twenties for highs. Supposed to be sunny and near 40 next Wednesday. Thatโs t shirt weather for crappie fishing in the ice. Bring the sunscreen! Cools off again after that though.
You tell ’em!

I like my 62 degree highs, Im staying here. Manistee is a cold place.
Don’t blame you one bit. Stay warm, my friend. ๐ฅ๐ป

Good morning!
To answer your question from yesterday: at -15 Lily goes out, explores, patrols, does her business, barks at what needs to be barked at then comes back inside. at +5, she’s returned to lying down on the back steps.

Morning all.

I decided not to try and zero the dot yesterday. I’ll see if I can get it done at the range before the steel shoot today.
Without my glasses, the RTS2 dot is much less starbursty than my Romeo5. Dunno if that’s purely due to the dot size, or if it’s an indicator of something else.
At similar brightness settings?
Good point. No idea.

900 lbs. ๐ฒ๐ฒ
I wish nothing but the best for this man.
But “minimally invasive”?
Laparoscopic. Also called robotic surgery.
Sure, cutting loose an personโs digestive system and rerouting it=minimally invasive. Itโs like having an ingrown toenail taken care of.
That’s how they fixed my colon.
It’s better than ripping the skin open, I guess.
