The Hat’s hatred of Persia is first introduced in this episode. If you haven’t caught on, The Hat has been the hat of many famous rulers throughout history, and at some point the Persians pissed him off and he still carries a blood lust. This was way back when everyone was worried for weeks Trump would start WWIII because Iran shot down a drone.

Why would we start doing that now?
Truer words were never spoken.
“It was a manned drone!”
Well, drones are male
I thought they were queer…
Did anybody ask how it identified itself? It may identified as a queen.
Then Jaws was never their scene and they don’t dig Star Wars.
“I may be wrong. I may be right, but I’m right a lot!” Gorgeous! (Idsn its own way). Dad’s favorite is a Nixon quote about a certain action in Vietnam (he blatantly lied about):
“I could have done that…[pregnant pause]…but it would have been wrong.” –> It’s frustrating that folk don’t know/remember/understand that elections, political journalism, pamphlets, speaking tours, etc, have ALWAYS been filthy. I wish it were as dirty as it used to be. *wistful, empty swoon — head down, hands in pockets*
All that dirt was more tolerable when govt was so much more limited. Nowadays we [the majority of Americans] must deceive ourselves about what is vice and what is virtue. It is why I come back so often to Franklin’s remark about when despotism would descend on this country – when the people were incapable of any other form of governance.
Firsters can’t be governed.
All that dirt was more “tolerable” when there was a solid consensus of majority opinion. Now that there are two solid consensus’ of opinion, and never the twain shall meet!, the dirty tricks to keep the riff-raff out becomes insufferable.
Uff-dah!
Time to kick off the shoes and relax. Cat and I will probably watch a murder show of some sort.
Cheers!

Nah, felines never get caught.

Wednesday evening is Disaster Night – either Air Disasters or Engineering Catastrophes, the latter of which tends to be slightly less depressing because usually fewer people die.
Fatcat was looking out the sliding door at the squirrels and birds, so I opened it for her.
She tentatively walked out and sniffed around. Then freaked out and came back in.
I’ll continue trying with her. I want her tiny cat brain to have something to do.
We buy all kinds of toys for out cats. For most, they tire of them rather quickly or are terrified of them (the battery-powered snake in particular).
The bird feeder outside the window provides some amusement, too.
I can’t count how many toys I bought for my cats that were used once and then ignored.
Chez GT/TT is perilously close to a main drag, so the kitty boys don’t get out, but they love to look out the full-length front screen door, AKA their “tall screen TV.”
What have the Persians ever done for us but give us cats with way too damn much fur?
A kink in the jet stream is pulling up southern air and we continue to have rain out here. I n the last few days it has been around five inches at the ol’ shit shack. A couple more inches are expected over the next few days. The clouds have slowed down the bananas and mangoes from ripening. That I can take. But the dozen cherry tomatoes sitting just below pickability is maddening.
High today: 79
High tomorrow: 59
Nobody in New England feels bad for people in Hawaii 😉
Believe me I know we are lucky weather wise. However I miss a pause in yardwork. Even in central Cali it would slow down. Here? Two to three green bins every other week go to the curb Jan-Dec.
I also miss seasons. I actually enjoy WY winters and AZ spring and fall (even summer is fine if you go up a sky island). Fall and winter hunting in NC and PA? Yes please. I even enjoyed the drama from KC tornado season but could do without the freezing rain season. Missing seasons is right up there with an ultra-violet political environment that has me looking for a post work relocation to the American West. Back to my roots. There is a Papago saying that “the desert smells like rain.” The memory of the smell of the creosote right before a monsoon Tstorm takes me back to southern AZ. The visuals from the movie “The Milagro Beanfield War” take me home as well. (RIP David Sanborn and gracias for the soundtrack from that movie.)
Ooops. Dave Grusin did the soundtrack for MBW. RIP DS anyway.
“…“the desert smells like rain.” The memory of the smell of the creosote right before a monsoon Tstorm takes me back to southern AZ”
I had forgotten that. Wow, that brings back some memories.
The fresh smell after a rain, it’s like the earth has been reborn. Then the sun comes out and all is well in the world. This spring has been much wetter/greener than last year. Garden is tilled, needs another tilling and then the gardening season begins for real. Plants are ready and I’m waiting for the late frost, maybe not this year but I’ve been wrong and surprised in the past.
Good morning, 4(20)! Down “south” here, we usually consider gardening safe by Mothers’ Day. Do you consider it safe by, say, Memorial Day?
Morning GT, generally Memorial day is safe, a little earlier for the seeds in the ground. I watch the calendar, full moon and clear is a danger signal. One year I put in tomato plants 3 times before I got it right. Another year we had frost June 17th and August 17th. Fortunately both were light and only killed the tops of the plants.
This year it looks ok for the full moon, not too chilly.
I didn’t know The Hat had a backstory.
Good morning all!
Today’s tune is from Radiohead:

Share and enjoy!
Happy national BBQ day, Glibs!

suh’ fam
whats goody
Today we test emissions from a sewage sludge incinerator at a p00p plant.
TALL STINKY STACKS!
Morning.
I’d like to wake up without feeling like I’d been whalloped.
Might happen by the weekend.
“Whalloped”
People usually have to pay extra for that.
.|.. ..|.
Good morning, U, Sean, homey, and Beau!
Morning
Sorry you’re still feeling whalloped, but at least you slept at a reasonably normal time!
I started my nap at quarter past 4am.
Oh. 😐
Well…it’s a start?
I wish I could just take the rest of the week off… but there’s an interview tomorrow.
And we’re upgrading one of our main apps tonight.
😣
Unrelated, dod you see this morning’s email?
Oh! No, I hadn’t! Thanks!
Ugh. Dogs woke me exceptionally early and since there was sunlight on my face – sleep was over.
Good morning, JI!
Rainy days and Thursdays don’t get me down. Bees will be taking the morning off but there are blooms and blossoms on some of the wild foliage, they are eager to go to work, unlike me.
