Thinker, amateur philosopher, a good day has at least 1 idea rolling around in my head. And a devout atheist, formerly an agnostic, formerly but still formally a Roman Catholic by birth. Please excommunicate me.
Ordered an egg breakfast.

At about 8 minutes I asked, they answered waiting on the eggs.

At about 13 minutes, I asked and gave the same answer.

At 16 minutes, they serve the breakfast.

I'm glad that they got hens back there, now we got to work on the just in time stuff.

To the medicos, learn how to use modern technology.

I'm 73 and it appears I will leave this earth without robots that can collect leaves or doggie exhaust.

We were digging ourselves out of the Covid hole, almost there.

And this happened.

I have serious doubts if we can get out of this hole.

A US Senator claims he saw 2 survivors try to right a blown up heavy boat fragment that was on fire.

I remember the effort it took to right a 100lb intact capsized aluminum canoe when we weren't injured in a training exercise.

This senator is just stupid and nuts.

What a hoot.

My broadband internet provider send me emails all the time, they show up in my inbox.

Yesterday, they sent an email to be careful with email spam.

That email ended up in the spam folder.

Tis the season,

This morning at 4:30, Smokey said I'm cold.

My better half insists that the overnite set back be 64 degrees.

I got up, yep it's 64.

I wish I had his predecessor back, he just climbed under the covers with me.

The war on drugs.

We've been in this for decades.

I am coming to the conclusion, if you want to do drugs, fine.

No safety net for you.

It's not helping to save these people.

If we reduce the demand, we won't have to blow money on this 'war'.

Sorry, what we are doing in just not working.

Update on my post from yesterday.

I spent a lot of time looking at a new phone.

I was just about to check the app one last time.

It's now working instead of asking me to upgrade my phone so I can get the upgraded app.
My garage door opener company upgraded their app for iPhones.

They didn't tell me about it.

They are now forcing me to upgrade my iPhone 6.

I'll bet here probably no fecking reason for this requirement.

To all websites, if you are going to popup me when I first load your site, I immediately close the window.

If you want any of my personal info, bye-bye.

It's fascinating to watch someone doing a Y-Y-Y turn, pulling fwd, backing, fwd, backing, fwd, backing then finally proceeding when,

there is a 140 ft diameter cul du sac 400' feet up the road.

Driver's are apparently getting really dumb.

When FDR died, we got an unknown Truman, that FDR recognized as a good person.

Turns out, Truman was a qualified honest man.

When tee-Rump dies, we will get a known idiot, as an idiot would select as his VP.

We are going down.

It used to be most cars came with simple steel wheels, 13, 14, 15".

Most cars had ~$10 headlight bulbs

A headlight on an F150 to day is $1500 part only.

You need to special order a tire, instead of having them on the shelf and pay an arm and a leg.

Complaining of high car and insurance prices?

For years I cleaned the house no problem

About a yr ago, my wife hired a house cleaner

She was OK but I noticed she didn't do what I did

So she stopped coming to go back to school so I did what I used to do.

This morning I vac'd the floor and mopped the floor twice.

She complained about my work

Everyone of us is 'vetted' constantly.

Tests in school, interviews, drivers test, gun permits, getting credit ... ad nauseum.

Tell me one vetting that guarantees future behavior accurately.

Please talk to your fellow lawmakers.

The 2nd strike on boat debris w/ 2 survivors clinging it to them, is inarguably an act of murder.

Hegseth should be impeached and prosecuted..
November 29, 2025 at 5:17 PM
It's been reported that there were 2 strikes on the same boat.

1st strike may be illegal and there is an argument to be had.

2nd strike to kill 2 survivors from the 1st is INARGUABLY illegal and immoral.

You don't kill survivors.

PERIOD!

That's cold blooded MURDER!
November 29, 2025 at 3:05 PM
While it might be plausible that the first strike, maybe, and I stress "maybe" justified, although no proof of that has been forthcoming.

The second strike on 2 defenseless people is not justifiable - at all.

This was murder, this was giving and following an illegal order!
Cold blooded murder.

You all remember there was never any vetting of tee-Rump.
Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean

TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting

Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person
