Happy First Monday of March, everyone. I know you thought I gave up doing decent links (or at all) for Lent, but here I am again. Honest to Zod, I let the reminder expire and it really messed me up. I’m hoping to get back on the horse here. The baby has started hand-over-hand stepping himself along the coffee table, so I expect to have a runner by his first birthday. Time flies when you’re chasing four kids around. Also, my oldest learned last night that long hair is not an asset in wrestling with a two year old. I hope he decides to get rid of his hippie hair, but I’m not gonna say a word about it.
Trump should definitely go with “Tiny D” of all workshopped nicknames for DeSantis. Lol. I assume that Trump will have reminded everyone exactly how he fucked up 2020 before DeSantis gets around to running in the fall. I also think that Neither Trump nor Ron Gone Wrong will be President in 2025.

“I also think that Neither Trump nor Ron Gone Wrong will be President in 2025.”
It definitely won’t be Trump.
It will never again be anyone the powers that be haven’t fully vetted. Trump shocked them in 2016 and they have fortified democracy to make sure it never happens again.
I want to think differently. But I am so black-pilled that I can’t see anything bright in the future.
Never mind the fortifying, he’s lost too much of his support. It’s not like he won 2016 in a landslide.
My guess – which could never be proven – is that we had clean results from the 7 states that stopped counting on election night, he won 2020 in a landslide.
Didn’t Reagan and Nixon both win 49 states?
My point is that if Biden had lost even 1 of those states 6 states (NC stopped counting to fortify the Governor’s election), he would have lost the election. If he lost all of them (my guess), it would have been reported as a landslide and a blowout.
Trump only had 230-something electoral votes. None of those states was giving Trump 30 electoral votes.
People were saying similar before Trump won in 2016. That being said, he won’t win again, not because of shenanigans but because a fairly significant portion of Mr. Operation Warpspeed’s base are done with him and he motivates those who normally wouldn’t bother to vote. DeSantis stands a fair chance I think.
DeSantis stands a fair chance of forcing the fortifiers to work overtime to beat him. Results 3 days after election day, stopping the count in the middle of the night, leaking plumbing etc.
I’m feeling very black pilled.
Vanta-pilled.

Maybe it is, but I think it’s probably more like what Walmart has actually said for the closing. There’s another Walmart just 3 miles south of the Eastport Plaza location. The one in Delta Park was probably drawing a bunch of Vancouverites across the River with no sales tax. I’d guess more WFH and declining big ticket sales are more of a factor for that one.
Also, the city of Portland enacted a gross receipts tax and Multnomah County increased their business tax rate.

What’s the law about shooting gators down there? Seems like the fuckers are kind of a nuisance.

You need a tag for each alligator and at least one person in your boat must have the last name of Landry.
I’m impressed we got a Lou Reed joke in reference to an actual Lou Reed song.
I watched the gator thing happen live on On Patrol (the new Live PD)
The man opened the front door of his home in the 1100 block of Champions Drive, Daytona Beach shortly after 9:30 p.m. local time Saturday. Police said the man had heard a noise and thought it might be someone looking for his son.
Someone looking for his son at 9:30 PM. Well, it is Florida.
Davis, a married dad-of-three, also grumbled that his own ‘normal pimp s**t’ attempts to bed Hall had failed where others had succeeded, agreeing with a pal that she had a ‘tight little a**’, it’s alleged.
Her boss failed to get her into bed? Whoa.
The alligator heard him open the door and get on the floor, just figured it was time to walk the relative-of-dinosaur….
Best stripper I ever saw used that tune. She started the routine in a dinosaur outfit.
“Freeman told Newsweek about the growing rates of depression, anxiety and self-harm among teenagers. She said that behavioral problems should be addressed and treated appropriately.
Freeman added: “Unfortunately, many parents adhere to the myth that threats and punishment will improve behavior, while decades of research has disproven this idea over and over.”
Well, treating them like fragile little flowers who shouldn’t hear the truth about how annoying they’re being has certainly not helped their rates of depression, mental illness, etc.
I would only change how the uncle framed it and refer to their behavior rather than saying the kid himself was hated.
Kids don’t generally have good foresight or impulse control, so sometimes a “good conduct” lesson needs to be reinforced. I’m not saying you should horsewhip the little bastard like he was Kunta Kinte, but a swat to the backside can be instructive when it comes to boundaries of behavior.
Sometimes it’s necessary when they do something so dumb they can hurt themselves. (Running into the street comes to mind)
When my son was 2 or 3, he would walk around grabbing everything.
My mother gave us a tiny little cactus with fuzzy little spines (she had dozens of cacti she cared for).
We left the cactus down on a coffee table and told my son “don’t touch”.
We only had to pull spines from his hand once.
I told this to someone once who called me a terrible parent.
I replied that it was important that my son learned there was a reason for “don’t touch” before he got tall enough to reach the top of the stove.
Our two-year-old was fascinated with the fireplace (glass cover). “Don’t touch -HOT!” Wasn’t cutting it. We couldn’t not use the fireplace as it provided our heat. I finally stood by while he reached out to touch it. I grabbed him away as soon as he touched and screamed. Tears, and hugs and he was OK. Neve went near the fireplace again.
A few days he was trying to reach a pot on the stove and his mom quietly said “Hot”. He withdrew his hand in an instant. Never had an issued with hot things again. Paint, climbing to the top of the fridge? Sure.
Reportedly, after similarly learning the meaning of hot, my stepson was told that anything fragile in a store was “hot.”
Damn, that is a good one. I wish I had thought of that.
Yes, depression, anxiety, and self-harm are certainly on a downward trend…
I think there’s a meme going around on FB about “gentle parenting really only works with gentle children.”

How many times can you tell a child to stop throwing his entire meal on the floor? Apparently one more than you think.
Just once. “Oh, you’re not hungry? Dinner’s over.”
This was a common child rearing method of most of my college town when I was growing up. There is a reason one of the kids of that group was shot in a trailer park in a drug deal gone bad.
But he made a fatal mistake and didn’t run for his life right then and there.

Hasn’t this panic been a thing for a while already? I’ve been seeing “no nitrates” on expensive packages of cold cuts and shit for years.
Yep. I prefer without nitrates. Seems to taste better to me.

Once you get to a certain height, it doesn’t really matter how high up you are.
Disagree. The higher up you go, the more time you have to contemplate what’s happening to you. That would only be about 30 seconds, but it would be the most horrifying 30 seconds imaginable.
I hadn’t thought of it that way. When I climbed Angel’s Landing in Zion it got to the point where it didn’t matter if the drop was 100 feet, 500 feet or 1000 feet. It all felt the same. But next time your comment will be stuck in my head. Damn you.

Hey Deg, if you’re around I may be looking at an opportunity to uproot from my Canadian roots and move the family to NH. Working right on the coast.

Thanks for any guidance.
Seascoast? Seabrook?
State of the State – I’m worried.
The FSP and NHLA are doing well and are slowly making changes. We now have two libertarians (both registered Republicans) in the State Senate which I think is a first. It’s been zero before. I think the Freedom Caucus (a group of libertarians and other liberty friendly folks) in the State House of Representatives is the biggest it has ever been.
Unfortunately the Democrats made big gains. They played the get-out-the-vote game better than Republicans and used the abortion ruling just right. The State Senate is still 14-10 Republican, but the State House of Representatives is almost evenly split. If the right mix of folks don’t show up or leave early, the Democrats have a majority and do exactly what you would expect. A recent session day ended with the Democrats in majority and the Democrats trashed the Education Freedom Accounts. The EFAs are an attempt to get money to follow the kids and have parents be in control. Democrats and Teachers’ Unions, of course, hate them and want them gone.
I expect Sununu, the governor, will finally move onto the national stage with the 2024 presidential campaign. He’s trying to paint himself as a pro-liberty, small government moderate. Pay no attention to his micromanaging the state’s economy for 18 months during the Lil Rona Panic. Hey, I wrote a whole series of articles on this. I have seen no talk of who might run for governor in 2024 beyond some speculation that Chris Pappas, a Progressive Democrat US Rep for NH, will run.
Taxes are still low, and are dropping (the interest and dividends tax is being phased out). A recreational weed bill is moving through the legislature. This one might actually go somewhere. Gun laws are still nice. There still is no requirement to wear a seat belt unless you are under 18. No motorcycle helmet law. Contrary to popular belief, there are cases in which the state will require you to have car insurance (if I remember correctly, if you’ve been found at fault in a wreck and a few other cases), but most people are not required to have car insurance to register their cars.
I think the state can go either way. Right now, things are OK. We’ll see what happens in the next round of elections.
I am dropping off for a few days. TPTB have my permission to give you my e-mail address so you can contact me if you want more information.

Once you get to a certain height, it doesn’t really matter how high up you are.
I have worked in a couple of “high” places; the kind which would be like stepping up on a curb for that guy. But you’d be surprised how much a billboard moves around when the wind starts blowing. The top of a tower like that moves around a lot, I reckon.
What do you do when you get to the top of that tower? Perch on top of the beacon and drink a beer?
Probably wait for a squadron of WWI biplanes to shoot at you.

Was he scheduled to climb a tower the next day?
I was a microwave repair guy, back in the old days. One of our jobs was tower maintenance (70 meter tower) including spot painting and changing light bulbs as required. I had to train myself, going up a little higher every day, took about 3 weeks before I could climb up, hook a belt around a light standard and do a few minutes work. As long as I had a safety belt on I didn’t had any fear, climbing up/down was terrifying for a while.
In 03, after Basic I was told I needed to climb a tower to replace a transponder. I wasn’t fond of heights but something about duty and all that drove me and ever since that day, did rescue climbing, rescue climbing instructor, etc. Loved it. Something free up there.
“Something free up there.”
Nobody asks you to wear pants when you’re way up there.
Most of you all would just use them as a shit collector anyway.
Was there no stench? When something dies in my basement, presumably behind some sheetrock, it stinks for a week. Certainly a whole human would be much worse out in the open.
Apparently there was a smell so they came back out and investigated some more. And capped off a sewer line. To be fair it was a hoarder’s house.
He could have died and sank under a pile of rotting garbage. What a way to go.

Filmmaker Michael Moore has called for a nationwide boycott of Walgreens after the pharmacy chain announced it would not sell abortion pills in 20 states.
In February, 20 Republican state attorneys general wrote to Walgreens Corp. threatening legal action if Walgreens provides the abortion pill, mifepristone, to consumers in their pharmacies across the U.S.
On Thursday, Walgreens shifted its plan, sharing that it will not dispense mifepristone in their states and is not planning to ship the drug to consumers either.
Following the announcement, Moore, on his website, urged readers to boycott Walgreens, characterizing them as a pharmacy chain that “stands with anti-abortion extremists against the rights of women.”
Ban extremism.
What’s their reason for not wanting to sell pills?
They probably saw the videos of what happens. There is a big difference between plan b and abortion pills. One involves drinking several bottles of water, keep flushing and don’t look no matter what.

I was president of the university dive club, and we did business almost exclusively from that shop. Virtually all of our members did all of their five Shop business there. Our business was about 40% of their regular business at the time, and it dried up overnight. They shut down 3 months later because they were losing money bad.
