WonkMeets are the best. Beloved Meccalopolis and I will be in our tent Labor Day weekend at Holly and Paul's, where we re-connected over five years after meeting in Red Hook, Brooklyn, back when he was a married man. Last year, I noticed the wedding ring was gone, and accepted a date to NY Botanical Gardens. We haven't yet gone there, but we are now living together and engaged to be married. Go to your local WonkMeet. You may not meet your one true love, but you will meet some amazing people.
Yikes, last week I had to pick up Bernie to get her in the car, and my back is killing me. I just started a new MS medication, a possible side effect are joint aches. I’m hoping when I take my monthly AS medication on Tuesday my back will start feeling better.
Looking at a 12 mile hike tomorrow up on the SW side of Mt St Helens. That’ll be a lot for us, but the 8 AM bike ride the next morning will be a bitch to get up for.
I climbed it in ‘85 or so. Nice view into the crater, until you move to the side a ways and realize that ice patch everyone is looking down from is a big-assed cornice. But, back in those days there was still snow up there in springtime. A fun glissade down.
The temperature downstairs was 63F, and upstairs is a little warmer. Lit a fire in the stove tonight and put on a wooly sweater. I showed both the young ones that the soapstone top of the woodstove is getting hot, because that's been on their parkour route lately. If it were cast iron or steel, it would get hot enough to sizzle kitty beans, another reason I'm grateful I went with the soapstone.
Serendipity, older and wisr kind of, looked at me as if to say, "Chopped liver here?" so I picked her up and went through the same routine, and she jumped deftly away as if to say, "I already knew that." Made me guess she's learned the hard way at some point.
Them MAGAs down near Richmond are a classy bunch. (refraining from redneck "jokes" about the hypothetical eight-year-old not needing esplaining because of already knowing because of...)
Wonkette should hire the white-tailed pictured above. He certainly seems opinionated. But you know it wouldn't work out and he'd wind up bucksplaininig to all the does.
Apropos of nothing really, I was staring at the sky cause baseball is boring and started thinking about how weird Dante's cosmology is. Hell is literally the crater made when Satan fell from heaven, and the impact pushed out a mountain on the other side of the planet - that's purgatory. Also heaven is in space. Just... you know, space jesus, doing his space miracles.
Reminds me of when I was studying in Padua and was asking my Italian cohorts what the spokes on a bicycle wheel were called and they said "Raggi" and I answered "What?"
("Raji" is H0mero's alias and is pronounced the same as "Raggi")
I'm planning to be at first my WonkMeet in Missoula tonight!

The buck speaks: "Excuse me, ma'am, can I have a few minutes of your time to talk about my Lord and Saviour, The QAnon Shaman?"

Good morning Rebecca...that photo is gorgeous!
Now...when are you coming back to Los Angeles?

I hope you feel better soon, Lefty.
Thanks!
Yikes! Two autoimmune conditions at once?(I'm assuming "AS" stands for Ankylosing Spondylitis)
Correct, plus I also had a stroke in 2017.
Goodness.
😪
I was at the San Francisco monthly, with Crypto and others tonight.
If you are able to meet our beloved Wonks in person, I recommend that you do.
You, and we, are all more awesome than you can imagine.
I very time if have gone to a Wonkmeet (only twice) I feel the same way!

You are in luck though. St Helens is 1,300' shorter than it was in 1979.

piece of cake!
It's 8,363 feet high. I lived at 9,500 feet in Colorado for a few years.

Person wearing a shirt with MLK quote: " The time is always right to do the right thing."
Classy.

I would think some enterprising leftist artist can help us misappropriate it with a "dark Brandon" kinda twist.
Like Sara’s post earlier today.

Vivek his own self may be new, his "ideas" are re-warmed standard Repunk bullshit. He's the South Asian Ron DeSantis.
Oh thank god. I was afraid there might be one Republican out there who could be trusted.
Backed/sponsored: more like owned/operated
(I misread "pressuring" as "pleasuring".
I guess I fit right in here at the nasty snark mob substack.)
I played in the mud. It was good.

"Deer!"
"Yes, Hon"
"DEER!" (deer runs away)
"WHAT?!!!!"
