I've been giving monthly through PayPal since before the Substack days so I don't get a gold star either. No biggie. I do it for Rebecca, the writers, and everyone else who needs this place like me.
It would be a real shame if the local medico's used the republicon ruling that doctors don't have to treat people who offend their morals and left the fuckers to bake in the sun.
Cally is out doing a canvassing today. We went and saw the touring production of the Alicia Keys jukebox musical "Hell's Kitchen" last night at the Pioneer Center (part of their "Broadway Comes to Reno" series). Good show, very powerful emotions.
The ending song of the first act is Keys' "Perfect Way To Die", which encapsulates a lot of what I feel about Rebecca said about Mr. Burns. And Renee Good. And Alex Pretti. And all the people who are taken away far too young - by lawless authority, or anger, or spite...or just plan meanness.
And the song Dixie Land was written by a guy from Pittsburgh. You lack any originality.
Just sayin'.
Edit.: here is an intresting thing I learned at Gettysburg (which you were slaughtered in) the Union NEVER took a star off the flag during the entire Civil War
I just get irked when southerners say they are real Americans. You know the Bible South Carolina? Of course you do. You got rid of every book but that.
"The sins of the father are visited upon the children".
Sorry. I just no one has the right south of the M/D line should be able to truely call them selves American until they get their shit together.
F1 Racing does an F1 Academy which is all young women racing in sponsored spec cars (basically identical cars) and this is one of three races they are running this week- live
Yet another tragic incident near Harrisburg PA We seem to be having a bunch lately
A PA State Trooper was killed while conducting an "inspection" of a tractor trailer along Interstate 81 just North of the City Indeed an awful thing
While conducting his "inspection" the trooper was struck and killed by another 18 wheeler.
I travel that stretch of Highway often, and cannot understand why police pull over trucks at a place where the berm is about 6 feet wide. Meaning that it is impossible for a driver to pull his rig completely out of the roadway The sensible alternative would be to proceed to the rest stop about 2 miles ahead. Of course they usually don't opt to do that, even though traffic is usually pretty heavy
The emphasis of the reporting is that the driver of the truck which struck and killed the trooper is an "illegal" brown skinned man Call me stupid, but I fail to see how that relates to the incident. the driver is facing a laundry list of charges including Homicide by Vehicle as though he did this intentionally. This poor guy may end up spending 20 years in prison for something which in all likelihood was an accident due in part to the unsafe practice of pulling trucks over where there is no room Of course uttering such an opinion in public gets you branded as a "Cop Hating" Lib who
loves "Open Borders" allowing crazed criminals to enter the country.
A storm came quickly through yesterday after. Strong winds for about 10 minutes challenged our silver maples. They stood strong. Rain for about 15 minutes the cool air
Since then , temps have been mid 70's with some humidity.
It rained last night limiting the fireworks assholes to about an hour of boom booms.
Rain starting around 5 tonight. Should wash out all the boom booms. Seems fitting.
Storms were bad about 5 Miles away. Trees down , houses smashed, lines down and mechanic buddy Jeffy' s shop was hit. Asked if he needed help he just said 'we were going to set it on fire anyway... stormed damaged the golf course I work at . Boss man says we're closed until at least Tuesday Yay!
Rain or not we'll be grilling fresh cheese brats, cut potatoes with butter wrapped in foil and sweet corn.
Displaying a flag my granny gave it to me 2011. She acquired it in 1986. 13 stars and stripes with 76 in the middle.
Music will be by George Bradley, Carolina Chocolate Drops. The Black Pumas, Nina and Odetta. But first Hendricks Woodstock National Anthem.
America should remember her age the way we remember our own, which is barely, and having to do a little mental math anytime we are asked. Very tacky of her to keep such accurate count of how many years she’s been rip roaring around causing destruction
That's it!! No more of this sitting around being unweeded and sober. Can't do anything about the weed, but I can go get some alcohol. Anybody need anything?
Turned on the Nats-Pirates game (I guess they do a 11:05 EDT start on the 4th).
First pitch temps at 11:05am - 97 degrees, heat index of 110.
Gonna be a *brutal* day for those dipshit "patriots" waving the battle flag of a country that committed treason against the nation they claim to love.
I think I'm still giving five dollars a month. The little symbol next to my name is gone, even though I didn't change anything.
If you are giving via Patreon or other non-Substack mechanisms the icon won't show up here. I donate via Patreon.
ETA: And got a bunch of really cool stickers and then for some reason got another shipment of stickers later as a bonus. <3 <3 <3 <3
I lost my symbol when I stayed with Paypal in the switchover to Substack.

OK. I may just have to give in and Youtube until Movie Sign.
I'd never seen/heard this before. "My Back Pages," Bob Dylan, along with a few friends.

Amaze amaze amaze!
I can't figure out who the guy with the dyed blond page-boy haircut is, playing guitar in a grey suit.
Everyone else is super-famous (he probably is too, I just can't recognize him).
Oh, children, who Mr Burns was a friend to, I am so terribly sorry you have to know this grief.
They're saying masked men with confederate flags are storming DC:
https://www.rawstory.com/confederate-flag-marchers-d-c/
Because nothing says "patriot" like supporting the fucking long-dead treasonous confederacy
These people are both loathsome and really, really fucking stupid
World's biggest sore losers.
Minnesota still has their fucking flag. lol
It would be a real shame if the local medico's used the republicon ruling that doctors don't have to treat people who offend their morals and left the fuckers to bake in the sun.
lol
They had to keep it secret so that the real Americans didn't counter protest.
lol

We're stuck here singing
"Baby, don't you close your eyes
'Cause this could be our final time
And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye
I'll think of all you coulda done
At least you'll stay forever young
I guess you picked the perfect way to die
Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die"
Special Holiday Post of the Susanna Hoffs Fan Club- our girl sings the National Anthem!

So for all those Treasonous Southern states the "Confederate flag" you so cherish is not the actual Confederate flag.

I travel that stretch once (round trip) every year, and that's coming up next week (car show at Carlisle).
It is a total disaster area if there is any traffic at all.
Actually, with all the truck traffic pretty much everywhere around there is a total disaster area.
okay walking past my window a minute ago was an old dude, white beard and pony tail, wearing a t shirt reading
"Less 1984 More 1776"

The militias are alive and well unfortunately
It’s literally 110 already heat index today and they’re all wearing white hood ski masks.
I hope no immigrant gives them a sip of water
walking around with their boomboxes blaring Rage Against the Machine, talkin bout how they're gonna take the power back. . .
I hope it’s a long ride home in the back of the U-Haul with no AC.
"Boy, this bottle of ice cold water sure is refreshing!"
"SLUUUUURP!"
"Mmmmm!"
That's it!! No more of this sitting around being unweeded and sober. Can't do anything about the weed, but I can go get some alcohol. Anybody need anything?
Grab some ice, it's a scorcher!
Jamaican rum goes well with the heat.
