Propane Dawn
Dawn approaches,
trickles of pink,
mix with grey dawn,
In the east,
Ice fog obscures,
hoarfrost coated trees,
shimmering in silver,
sunrise clear and cold,
a crisp blue sky,
shattered by wind,
and patterned in cloud,
to turn away,
from pervasive fiends,
you cannot win against,
layer on layer,
will not help,
Icicles on fingertips,
water gives no respite,
sideways hail stinging,
waves in all directions,
questions which direction,
the wind prevails,
silver and green,
blurry shapes as miles go by,
stop to look, and see,
and remembrance,
home again to quiet walks,
on river banks and slow,
waiting for the world to end,
or has it just begun,

Til we meet again,
I like barns, but that’s too many.
Forgot to gloat about being first. I prolly shoulda demeaned others for not clicking before me to. When will I learn?
Pssst…people actually still like you though.
^this,
I wouldn’t exactly call them “people”.
If you aren’t First, you don’t qualify for personhood.
Just like your mom.
I had sex with your Mom and as I was putting my pants back she told me how much larger my penis was than yours. I found this awkward and picked up my pace. Never called her again and had to block her number.
If you found that awkward than I guess you’re the dumb one here. I mean, your dick has got to be smaller than everyone’s dick. Even your mom’s.
I don’t know. You could ask your Dad if you doubt me. He watched from the closet in his Superman cape.
I plan on a few wrecked village drives next, this was just on the highway to Walmart,
We drove around Croatia last fall, back when traveling overseas was still allowed in the world.
You’d be surprised how many barns like that you’d see in the more rural areas.
At first when I saw the pictures I thought they might be from Croatia.
Damn, I hope we’re able to travel again some day. I had some amazing business trips this year that had to be canceled, one to Johannesburg, and one to Cairo. Both with plenty of time to see amazing things in each region. Instead, now all I have is cable travel channels and sweat pants.
Getting Old reminded me a little bit of my dearly departed grandpa’s old cattle barn. Not a ringer but close enough to dredge up some fond memories of sitting next to grandpa while he drove his tractor and not so fond memories of bucking hay bales behind said tractor.
Nice poem and pictures.
Thankee,
Hey TH, I’m gonna shoot you a call tomorrow, before I send that email.
I like the pics of old barns and rural dilapidation.
If the revolution comes and we flee urban centers, we will need to know how to raise barns and repair and run all the old machinery.
Can do Ma’am, old school builder, and Redneck at heart,
How good are you at threshing and winnowing? Might come in handy soon.
I was thinking about Civil War 2 and I don’t see how it would work. There are no regional divides. I think it would be a rebellion and uniformed vs no uniforms. It would be bloody and no good resolution. Maybe a few states can boot strap, but I would expect a hostile foreign power to cut a chunk out of us. Anyways, 2.5 hours until I can drink.
I have always thought that the current bifurcation, should it transition into a shooting war, would look a lot more like The Troubles in Ireland or the Spanish Civil War. Wherein the cities and town could have businesses, bars, etc. that were one faction or another and walking in to the wrong establishment could be a life or death decision,
I should read up on those so I have an idea what my future will look like.
You should. Belfast 1916-1990-something was a pretty terrible place to live.
I went to Slattery’s in Dublin around ’92 and all of the music was deep heartfelt IRA inspired war songs. Great music by very serious people. I noticed that the nightly news had loads of stories about happenings in the prison, and they described the areas within the prison as if everyone would know the layout. I got the impression there’s a lot of prison time served in Ireland.
I love Irish rebel songs!
That said, I imagine that after everything that got us to the current situation on the island of Eire, it resembled the US after the Civil War and a great many people had to sign oaths of allegiance to be allowed back into society. I would be curious to know how that played out.
You’re in Miami right? If so stick to the Cuban owned bars. Now I want to move back to Miami.
I’m in Orlando. In laws are in parkland.
Yeah, its going to be something between Belfast and Bosnia.
I spent the summer of ’89 in Belfast. Not a fun place.
I don’t think there is going to be a second civil war. Most people just don’t care about this shit enough. Yeah, they’ll spout off talking points and they hate all the people they’re told to hate, just not with the fire of enough sons to do battle with them. Our problem is the vocal minority is given way too much power. 90% of even the dems is only mildly invested in this bullshit. They retreat quickly when confronted by reason and facts, that’s how little they care.
Not a civil war.
But decades of asymmetric warfare is possible.
If the socialist take control and crackdown on civil liberties, then hundreds of thousands of people with a million guns start picking off easy targets.
If the conservatives take control and crackdown on the socialist, then you get the days of rage (ala 1969) and a couple thousand bombing (ala 1970-1971).
Except this time, I don’t think it dies out after three or four years.
Yeah, I already see a sequel to the early seventies playing out, except the new generation is too soft to really be serious about it. The seventies were filled with bombs, bank robberies to raise money for revolution, actual insurrections with high death counts, kidnappings of rich people’s offspring, jail breaks for comrades, and all manner of extreme unrest. These kids are way too pussified for all that. They cry when their Iphones run out of battery or the wifi is too weak.
The left will have to rely on the military to fight for them. I just don’t see that as a battle the military is willing to prosecute. Antifa sure ain’t gonna get it done!
If we can get them to do it w/out disco it would be better, just saying.
Except, the 20-something antifa twats aren’t the problem.
The problem is the guys robbing banks and planting bombs in the 1970s have taken over local and state governments as well as a huge chunk of the federal government.
Well, people seemed a lot more willing to do crazy things in the 70’s. Like join cults, take huge amounts of all kinds of drugs, foment revolution, etc. This generation is nowhere near as rebellious. Nobody even took a shot at Trump, for instance. They tried for Ford, Reagan, the Kennedys, etc. Hell, we barely even have serial killers anymore. There’s just not enough moxie to sustain any kind of real warring. These kids just want a participation trophy, in the form of an arrest for failure to disperse and a batman costume. I have very little fear of them ever putting up any form of organized fight. I bet they’d fuck me up if I ever found myself confronting them, though. That’s why I avoid these “protests” I would be unable to restrain myself enough to ensure my safety.
The military will. At least the army non combat arms side will and it’s a majority of the force. I was in a BSB and I’d say 80% of those fucks would shoot at unarmed Americans for an ArCom.
Most people just don’t care about this shit enough. Yeah, they’ll spout off talking points and they hate all the people they’re told to hate, just not with the fire of enough sons to do battle with them. Our problem is the vocal minority is given way too much power. 90% of even the dems is only mildly invested in this bullshit.
I feel it should be pointed out that it is always a minority who runs things. A minority runs the government, a minority participate in all the ideological movements, a minority fights the wars. A very large group of people just go with the flow, meaning that a relatively small group of people can steer events.
Cities versus rural with lots of bloodshed in the suburbs. If it gets ugly, cities starve when bridges and utilities get sabotaged.
Maybe not regional in a nationwide sense, but here in the NW, there would definitely be a West/East divide (Cascade Mountains or I-5 corridor).
I’d imagine many other areas would be similar.
City-states, maybe? Autonomous zones?
N. Cali (Eureka et al) and parts of the central valley might be an impediment to the loonies having an I-5 corridor.
I’d think the center column from Texas to NoDak, and spreading to varying degrees east and west, would mostly band together.
This has been my schtick for about a decade.
The states comprising the Louisiana Purchase plus a a few adjacencies (like Texas) would do pretty well.
If you look at the electoral map as it stands now (see this RCP map), there is a blue contiguous region on the west coast, and a blue contiguous region on the east coast/upper midwest (if you allow the Great Lakes to connect states). The only exception is Georgia, if it stands that way. The red areas are all contiguous.
Not only that, but if you look by county, it’s an even narrower band on the West coast overall.
I was trying to find a good map to illustrate that very thing. For instance, MN is blue, but land mass-wise, it is FAR more red than blue.
This map is interesting

Fuck it.

If you take the Louisiana Purchase and the Texas Annexation, you should have a pretty stable country. Plenty of agriculture, manufacturing, natural, gas, petroleum, and last, but not least, missile silos.
I was looking at the Red Blue electoral map and it really struck me how vulnerable the Blue side would be if things got ugly. Yes, they have the population concentration to raise grand armies, but Red has all the food production, and is far more contiguous. The Blue strongholds in the middle of the country are completely isolated, and their two largest concentrations are literally a continent apart.
A thought along these lines, if the coasts, largely those that are more likely to support a “People’s Rebellion” were to gain the logistical support of China and/or the EU they would be, in terms of manpower and industry, would not be an easy win.
It has the potential to be an absolute horror show. I think there is a lot of pent up hatred and rage, and that the extreme people on both sides are ready to dehumanize the other. I am afraid the actual analogy would be something like the Taiping Rebellion or the 30 years War.
I agree. I think the best that can be hoped for is a quick stalemate and agreement to “break up but stay friends”. I just don’t know how realistic that is.
Judging by the Left’s dehumanization of everyone that isn’t 100% onboard with their nonsensical ideology, this seems unlikely.
For sure, but I think if they are presented with the thought of LA, and SF, and NYC, and Chicago, and Raliegh, and, and, and, being free from those icky un-wokes, and not having to send all their tax money to stupid fly-over country, they may agree to a divorce.
Neither China or the EU are known for their logistical support capability. The US military has far and away the best logistics system, so I don’t think you’d see others able to support American factions in the same way that the US supports factions in foreign wars. Heck, when the EU nations send people places that the Americans are it’s often the Americans that provide the logistical support.
Who? Mexico?
And if there’s enough animosity towards other Americans, I don’t see a populace being pacified by foreigners.
“I like the pics of old barns and rural dilapidation.

You’d love the Midwest then.
And the Mennonites got you covered, they’ll make that shit happen in less than a day.
The downside is that they and the Quakers (sans Nixon) are ardent pacifists. So, getting them to raise a firebase is a long-shot.
Too much small and horse drawn farming implements have been scrapped. It’s hard to find small enough stuff for my M here in northern Idaho. It all went away when scrap topped $400 ton.

Old barns
Old barns
I like the pictures.
Good camera, no smartphone crap any longer,
Well done, Yusef, thanks.
At least once per week, I drive the road to the town in which I lived for many years. There is beside the road a barn that when I first moved to the area was obviously abandoned, but in acceptable condition. Now, nearly twenty years later, it has fallen in, collapsing under its own weight and from neglect and time.
I do not recall a single instance driving by when I noticed a change from my passing the week before, but now nearly every time I drive by I feel a mild suprise, wondering how the barn suddenly became a ruin. And then I remember.
a post? please show us what you see….
I’ll try to remember and take a pic next time I go by.
Doesn’t look like much now, which is likely why it strikes me, for I remember it as it was.
I know a similar barn. It is now a roof on top of its walls sitting in a pasture.
*Collapsed walls*, that addition might make more sense.
Heh, I actually got the correct mental picture, but it does make more sense.
Pics!
Propane Dawn
I see many would be smokers on trailers after some cutting and welding. With perhaps, propane accessories for proper temp management.
Butane is a bastard gas.
Works good for lighting the rocks yo!
Thanks, Yusef.
You have a gift, dude.
Thank You Sir! you are my go to Cold guy..
Beanies in the Air!
It’s all about the wind. Calm wind and sun, I can take my shirt off at 10 degrees. Wind fucks everything up.
Give Bella an extra treat from me!
Will do, Wind fucks everything up, i had to buy a camera tripod to keep up!
/Bella treats!
Until it got that or a little colder I would run in shorts and a t-shirt. However, during that time I thought that jumping out of airplanes for $150/month was a good idea, so adjust your judgment accordingly.
10? Ya not doing that and I have way more #natural insulation than you.
He’s full of shit. Ignore him.
I am full of shit.
But I do love sunshine!
For sure. If we get a sunny day with no wind and it’s about 20+, the wife and I have been known to sit outside for a a couple hours enjoying some beverages. Not shirtless, but not in snowsuits, either.
#northernlife
If you can’t get your wife to sit outside shirtless you aren’t much of a shitlord.
Ditto
Those barns remind me of upstate NY, or more specifically central and western NY. All the old dead towns are surrounded by them.
Take some wood off those barns and take it down to Lansing and Karens will pay through the nose for it.
You can make standing wardrobes out of that wood and sell them for a mint at antique shops.
^This guy gets it^
You can make
standing wardrobesdamn near anything out of that wood and sell them for a mint at antique shops.Slipping wood to Karens is generally a msitake.
Remember this, use a burner phone and tell her your name is Bob Jones and you will be golden.
I can see Karen standing in Greenville yelling that she wants to see the manager.
Karen spent her 20’s and possibly a good portion of her 30’s riding the cock carousel, she will survive.
My coffee table is made from reclaimed and very old wood. It’s about a true 2″ thick and maybe 3×5′ The bottom still has faded light blue/white paint on it. More of a wash. They left it for “authenticity”
Mom, 35, who admitted having sex with multiple underage boys after her husband caught her in a hot tub with one of the victims is given just 90 days in prison
Idaho, more like I-da-hero, am I right?
Folks!
Let’s do a quick game of reverse the genders and see how that plays out,
I’m sorry, but 17 is old enough for either sex to engage in, uh sex.
I tend to agree but if you were to make the perpetrator male, the dude would be doing some serious time.
*depending on the age of consent (maybe, depending on the Judge’s mood). Definitely a registered sex offender, either way.
I would be happy with laws discriminating on the basis of sex in cases of statutory rape or whatever we’re terming it, given the varying degree of harm caused to a female minor vs her male counterpart. Acknowledging that underage girls have much more to lose from sex with older men than older women have from underage boys seems inarguable. I wouldn’t want to argue it, anyway.
But, of course, the laws will never reflect that fact, so fuck her good and hard.
Wait, are we even allowed to distinguish between male and female victims?
Actually clicking through I have to ask… is there a medal of freedom angle here? I mean I imagine her Idahoan students aren’t going to get anything that hot, even at their age, even assuming she was banging cornfed star athletes, ever again. And at seventeen. Isn’t that the sort of youth investment our country needs? Not the low-T nobodies who’ll have to beg for scraps from their gender studies classmates, but the sort of teenage boy who against all odds land a real American beauty. Isn’t that what we’re trying to cultivate? The kind of Real America that’s worth living in? In which it’s worth living?
“Let’s do a quick game of reverse the genders”
Venmo me $475.50 and you’re on, sailor.
Can I talk you down to $20?
Okay but for that price I’m not reciprocating.
Will ten bucks more get me a reach around?
That’s some bullshit, right there. The “kid” was seventeen. I did exactly that at that age ( I may have, or not, depending on how disgustingly they’ve trashed the statute of limitations). You’re not a toddler at 17. What the fuck is wrong with people all using prison for consenting adults. Fucking pisses me off.
Agreed
You are not an adult at 17, either. Shouldn’t be treated as a child, but lines have to be drawn somewhere, and it is better for the lines to be drawn clearly and unambiguously. The older party should spend the 30 seconds on Google to figure out where that line is and act accordingly. Idaho mom has no excuse for not knowing that her state is one of the 12 that set the age at 18.
“but lines have to be drawn somewhere”
The impure eventually fly their tainted flag…
Yeah, I was 17 once and the only vicitimization I would have experienced is the guilt of having been cited as the reason she’s going to prison. Clear and unambiguous don’t make nothing right. Way to make outlaws, laws like these!
17 year old Bob would have happily shot her across the room.
Clear and unambiguous don’t make nothing right.
True, but if age of consent laws should exist (and I think they should) then there should be a bright line on it, because the law isn’t too good at handling ambiguity. People will disagree on where exactly the line should be (in the US it appears 12 states say 18, 7 say 17, and 31 say 16, so clearly your position is more popular than not), but once it is drawn it should be enforced.
Absolutely. And this chick has no excuse for not researching gun laws in neighboring states, either.
At least Gov Fat Bastard pardoned her in the end.
That’s good to hear. I was not aware of that.
That would be a fair comparison only if some states had no age of consent law. Every state has one, so it’s not like people don’t know that the laws exist and maybe they should check what specifically they are before they go having sex with people who are legally minors. The question at stake in this case is not “is there a law against this” but rather “what is the law on this”, which is fundamentally different from the lady with the gun.
Yeah, and that line is “does actual harm.”
Tying it to the calendar is like looking for your keys unser a streetlight becasue it’s easier to see there.
Love the word “hoarfrost”. Thx, Yusef.
i like words,
thanks
*deletes comment
Hoarfrost can be spectacular. Otherworldly if conditions are right.
I’ll have to go visit to see any in my future.
Hoarfrost is bad for us winter backcountry explorers. It causes weak layers in the snow pack which can be the trigger points for avalanches.
Does that mean she won’t warm up until you pull out some more cash? “Cheap bastard got nothing but hoarfrost for his 20 bucks!”
My minimally compliant masks just arrived. Yay! The card says “for people who love oxygen and hate tyranny.”

As I drive by those old houses/barns, etc I try to picture generations of families, with kids and it’s so sad for me. I live where I grew up but all the families are gone or changed, houses and barns that once were viable (sort of) working farms are the same as Yusef’s pictures.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgXNVA9ngx8
Now with today’s politics and BS the nostalgia hits even harder. Glad TPTB and all the Glibs are here. Thanks for the trip, Yusef.
You nailed it 4×20, images of a long forgotten past, new views for me, more soon BTW
There is a massive old house just west of I-15 north of Idaho Falls that we pass by on our way to/from Montana. Over the years we have seen it deteriorate and we often comment about the stories that the old walls could tell.
I always look at that building when I [pass by.
I had unexpected nostalgia when I visited the old family farm for the last time. It is outside my hometown and is where my grandparents raised Dad and just siblings, right down the road from the one-room school house.
(My dad bought most of his siblings’ shares of the farm to keep it contiguous. We kids would go with him sometimes to fish and shoot etc.)
All that was left of the house was the concrete foundation.
Nonsensically, that made me sad. Equally nonsensically, it made me happy that a cousin who inherited my uncle’s portion purchased Dad’s farm, so it’s all in the family, and the owner is young and has a large family.
Why should I care? I just do.
My mother lived with me for a few years, after I got divorced and need help raising my kids. As she was aging we were visiting her and my son, maybe 15-16, was reminding her of some of the things we did, as a family. She said “We’ll always have the memories” My kids, now in their 50’s, still talk about “When Grandma took care of us and cooked our favorite food” sort of thing. Kids remember…

My thoughts exactly,
Really?!?! I’m bummed I missed that.
there were only 3 of us, very fun indeed,
Maybe I’ll set one up for a nighttime tour. Your daytime. Much more happening.
As long as you don’t go to the dumb area. No dumb here!
The Japanese government engages in schizophrenia. Money to encourage travel while on the other hand discouraging travel.
“Go To Travel” discounts. They paid half our hotel cost to stay at a half full (by law) hotel. Weird.
Exactly.
I wish they would relax their entry and pay for half of my travel expenses. My TTP card expired last weekend without renewal.

Hey, I’ll pay the 10% sales tax!*

On the nostalgia topic again.
We were talking about rural dilapidation and nostalgia, but I suffer from nostalgia related to Main Street, Small Town USA.
Little towns sprang up post civil war and into the early 20th century all over states along the Mississippi and along the Chisholm (cattle) Trail. They look alike from Texas to Minnesota: little red brick shops with outsized facades, barbershop with classic pole, a bank trying to look as imposing as possible to people who’ve never actually seen neoclassical architecture, later a movie theater with that triangle overhang to show what’s playing. Small inland California towns even follow that template.
Those places are declining except in cities that have decided to rescue them with donations.
I will miss those Main Streets.
these streets are my subjects, some living, some dead,,
And even those that have stayed around (for example) have to play either tourist trap or retirement town.
There are exceptions, for sure , but it does seem that the small town pattern you describe is for the most part gone.
I wonder, though: As people are more able to work from home and want to escape the cities, if some of that pattern might return, in altered form. Maybe more of a village center with shops and services, and residential immediately surrounding. Less of the downtown/uptown dynamic, and more of a business/residential split.
Dunno, though – I’m certainly no expert on this sort of thing.

Hey, Yusef, I took my kid to Pedlow skatepark this weekend. That ain’t me, just some good pics of the bowl. I was getting just under the tiles. That’s a crazy deep pool, like 14 feet or so. It’s hard to get enough juice to make it to the coping. Huge fun, we’re going back this weekend. I was at least 20 years older than the next oldest skater. Got a bunch of one wheelers and grinds in the smaller bowl, too.
14′ bowl? straight up, straight down, maybe a little air frontside, be careful, it’s a long way down now…
Yeah, I never was huge on carving, so I don’t do much of it. The kids said I had good style. First time on vert in 40 years. Huge fun.
landing off a 7 foot hip will break a board as well,careful…
Just read the post and they say 12′ deep. I dunno, it sure seems deeper. I skated a lot of 10 foot pools and they are way easier to get up on the coping in.
SoCal is a skate farm, too many for one day, check out Pipeline in Upland, many others clos by as well,
Is Pipeline still there? That was one the greats when I was in HS, but a lot of parks went under because skating lost popularity as real estate gained it.

Somewhere in the house we have a glass block from the Coral Court.
Coming from the guy who swallowed the Steele Dossier and signed off on the Carter Page warrant (previously I mistakenly said Flynn warrant), while he handwaves away numerous evidence that Gov Kunt did just that. But even if it wasn’t her motivation, so what? What was the result of her actions? The same unconstitutional outcome.
https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2020/11/judge-denies-preliminary-injunction-to-3-christian-schools-challenging-oregon-governors-order-restricting-in-class-instruction.html
This is how you get pestilence.
It’s alarming how these governors trample First Amendment rights and judge after judge just doesn’t care.
Yes, and worse at the state level. From the state constitution:
State judges have ruled that this is broad reaching and encompasses any manner of expression including nude dancing
Same verbiage allows the governor to limit by executive order religious services, according to judicial overseers without a twinge of inconsistency.
Jumping back to the federal level, Pierce v. Society of Sisters from when Oregon was controlled by progressive Democrats who were both a part and supported the Klan’s agenda (which was primarily anti Catholic and and anti Catholic immigrants).
https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/268/510

But Gov Kunt would never understand any of that because she is not and never will be an Oregonian. She’s another fucking carpetbagger like so many politicians, looking for an opportunity to grift. She was born in Spain and grew up in Minnesota.

Will Teddy Cruz – aka The Assassin’s Son – be able to convince the Trump voter he is their savior?
No, but he’s grown some balls over the last few years and he’s not nearly as painful to listen to for me as Trump.
He seems to have rolled like a 7 on charisma though.
The beard suits him.
Like Cocaine Mitch I don’t agree with his politics, but they’ve done a great job of sticking it to the left these last 4 years.
Do you feel like someone is using the “wrong” bathroom?
It’s a photo of a sign, people – click. It will start a conversation.
Please note there is nothing wrong with simultaneously sniffing and cranking to the sound and smell of a person urinating.
It’s called yolo freedom.
Maybe the pissers just can’t read signs.
From the sign on what we should do in this situation:
Like, do I take up a bodyguard position and glare, or warn off others walking too near, or just arm bar the first person I see, or…?
And, based on the grammar, I guess I only have to take a bullet for people that I don’t think should be in there, right? So if I accept everyone in my bathroom, then I don’t have to protect them, but if I’m a judgmental douche I am obligated to play Secret Service.
Also from the sign:
Really?! WOOT WOOT! Full-ride scholarships to Oxford for all!
“Don’t do not”? and “bathroom” in England?
Hmm… is suspicious, wot?
Everyone has every right to be here; in this School, in this University, in this World
Even Trump voters?
Dayton schools say screw it, give up on 2020.
There’s going to be a lot of that going around. The shame of it is there won’t be any shame.
I’m shocked that teachers don’t insist that classes continue to be held. They love the children so.
Our school system has already pushed back the start date for in-school.

What a smarmy fuck. Joel Osteen is like, “damn…I got me some competition”.

But if he put the mask on between the bites then it’s okay. Also, if there’s a bear image behind you then it’s always okay.
Newsom is such an asshole that even his sign language dude looks like an asshole when he’s signing what Govnuh Douchebag is smarming about.
Remember, we’re all in this together!

All that barnwood is worth some money.
Just sayin’.
Yep, there are guys who make very nice livings selling old barn lumber.

South Australia is about to go into a hard lockdown tomorrow. No leaving your home unless you are an essential worker, construction industry shut, no takeout food allowed. Real China Style with a penal colony accent.
https://www.news18.com/news/india/south-australia-orders-six-day-statewide-lockdown-against-fresh-virus-outbreak-3091556.html
no takeout food allowed
A huge chunk of the population will not survive the next six days.
They need to put a premier on the barbie.
The Latest: 6-day lockdown ordered in South Australia state
That will surely fix it for them. They are reverting to their penal colony origins. What’s the over/under on the number of days this actually goes on for?
Victoria went into lock down in August until September. At the end of August, they announced an extension into October. Finally “lifted” this month after 111 days.
?♂️
So..60 days for first guess. End of March for my second.
A month before summer?!
“6-day lockdown”
Six days? What the hell do they expect to accomplish with that?
The contractor estimated that long to put up the fences for the camps ?
Maybe that, maybe just to determine how much people will put up with. Those are extreme measures that make no sense whatsoever unless as implied upthread it’s the camel’s nose under the tent for lockdown extensions later.
Paging CPRM… better get any future Path to Wellness material in order and submitted soon… not looking too good for the big guy…
How I love getting a “day” off when Ive been working overnights. Gives me a head-start on my morning drankin’.

Whats that alkane you have on….
Ok thanks, that’s sticking.

And did I hear you say, you were grilling here today?
I guess you’ll have to bake or broil or fry?

Brrrr. Feels like 24 American.
I just went to the garage, and its the same here.

Man, something hit me on the way to work this morning.
A huge wave of energy.
I don’t know if that translates to something personal (getting laid tonight) or something big in the news today. I feel it though.
27, warm!
Morning, all.
I glad I fell asleep early last night. The neighbors have had the cops and an ambulance over to their place twice since 1am.
*sips coffee, brews more coffee*
Sean, just saw your message up top. Working tomorrow so I may not answer immediately.
…er, working today…did I mention I haven’t really slept since 1am?
No worries.
“I can’t decide which one is worse”-Biden hagiography versus Trump hagiography:
https://mobile.twitter.com/PetiteNicoco/status/1328885101996945408
Both bad I’d say but since ghost McCain’s smiling down on Biden I’ll have to go with that one.
Kentucky looks like a nice place to live if it wasn’t for that POS legacy despot Beshear.
Having spent time in the more rural areas of Appalachia, you may want to re-define “nice place”.
Everything is relative. Could one get a good deal on a big plot of land with a house back up in them woods where he would be left alone? Is the climate more or less pretty temperate?
I think if you live in pretty much any isolated area you need to nail everything down. Thieving is part of the bloodline. That’s why we never homesteaded. Fucking worse neighbors than suburbia.
All of this talk of “barnwood” is giving me splinters! Wifey’s side gig depends upon it. Minds out of the gutter, people! She doesn’t travel in a coochie show to various and sundry rural settlements selling her wares she merely asks for the old wood in order to build picture frames and the like. She’s a very popular figure in these parts! Actually, one of her favorite subjects is old barns and churches and the like. She usually travels alone but I never question the hay in her hair and clothing. Me: “Going out for barnwood again?” She: “Don’t wait up!”
*snicker*
“she merely asks for the old wood ”
I’m eligible!
She a little svelte for your preference, Tres.
Ill make an exception for metric.
She looks like an automobile from the early 1970s?
To be honest it did start as a straightforward comment but I couldn’t restrain myself… You know me well enough by now.
Not only Australia and other states, but Reichsführer DeWine has jumped on the bandwagon.
This seems relevant.

Our beloved Dr. Bonnie, She of the Cute Shoes (PBUH) has only issued a firm finger wag thus far. She’s sorta Gilfy. Where’s my personal finger wag you mendacious cunte! If you’re going to fuck me at least make it pleasurable (or so I’ve heard).
Nobody will read this post but we have 350 dead in a population of five million, nearly all of them old folks in nursing homes. Does any of this make any sense at all?
Nope.
FWIW, Bob, I don’t think that you are any sort of idiot. Just a man that was taken over by events far from your own control. I’m glad that you are finding some respite after what must have been an incredibly tumultuous period in your life. Tall and short cans up!

Umm…Nice takedown.
That “Jewfro” really sells it! Good for him.
There was a kid in my 4th grade class who had no hands. He once got into a fight on the way to school. I will never forget the absolute thrashing he handed out to the other kid. Lacking hands, he had 2 sharpish bony nubs on both arms; those nubs just kept punching and punching and punching. He was pulled off by some homeowner who didn’t want a child to get beaten to death in front of his house.
That’s a memory that sticks with you. I wish I still smoked pot for the “whooooa” factor.
I have a story or ten about handicapped people going FTW but will save them for some live threads. Or maybe not. Most of them were very violent and we don’t need that shit in current year.
