After wasting a gorgeous day doing little but conversing with my fellow reprobates here, I have to get my ass up and make dinner. And the only reason I'm being even that enterprising is because I thawed a pork chop yesterday, and if I don't eat it tonight I'll have to throw it out.
Later.
EDT: Pork chop not quite room temp yet. Gonna hang here a few more minutes.
We've been under a *Flood Watch* that expires at 8 tonight. We've had torrential rains all day. Some of these showers dropped over 2" an hour. Right now we're having a wonderful sunset. This is why we're having such a fabulous sunset. We're sitting in the eye of this system. We'll be whalloped again in a couple of hours. I bought some floaties so we'll be just fine.
I didnโt even think about the Fauci show being dragged into town. Are we really raking over such detail, when weโve watched the right wing tank what was the most powerful country seen on this planet? Iโm so sorry good people have to face their crap. We owe Mr Fauci apologies and SO much more.
Maybe we could all just stipulate that another Darrell Issa or Benghazi! hit-hearing has taken place. Then just stay home and rest and/or seethe some more.
Years ago, before I moved from Fargo to Missoula, I was driving back to Fargo from the folks place in Minot.
Stopped at a rest area, cause needed to take a break.
Broken down VW bus at the far end of the parking lot, with a tell tale puddle of oil leaking out underneath.
6 kids wondering what fresh hell they were in for now. Bus driver knew what the problem was, the gasket on the oil pump had shit the bed.
Hey kids! I happen to have some tools and know how to make that if you happen to have a bit of cardboard from a six pack.
Soooo. four of us dropped the engine in the parking lot, I cut and fixed a new gasket for it, and we benchpressed the engine back into place. No leaks on start up- I sent one of the kids to the nearest town in my car to get enough new oil.
Right at this point the Highway Patrol showed up, wondering what the fuck was going on.
He had a hell of a good laugh at the road side repair.
Moral of the story? Always have a full tool kit in the back of the car, including the big sockets and the breaker bar from hell, with extensions...
I tried to read the whole thing, sounds like the kind of guy Montanans would come out to vote for, but then you showed the โterrifying gif of a transgender flagโฆโ ๐ and I had to go hide under my bed.

Thank Godzilla work's over. Horrible day. Overwhelming. Felt unusually attuned to my co-workers' grief today.
Wanted to wager a little polymarket.
Who will be the second annual recipient of the FIFA Piece Of The Action Prize?
Apparently it's been pulled as no second prize is anticipated.
And the wars are to destroy countries that have those kind of things.

OK, just drove home through a monsoon. Ridiculous rain, 2-3 inches/hour.
AND...as soon as I set out for home...the battery light is on. (Battery, plugs & wires are all new).
Best part? I fly into my parking space at home, the rain stops and the sun comes out.
Fuck me runnin'.
check yer alternator belt.
Yup. Mighta been slipping due to the onslaught of water?

I do have a Phish adjacent story tiem, however.

And stock beer!
Do you know Chub's Pub?
??
not a clue
It's a bar in Fargo. That, apparently has managed to exist since even my dad was at NDSU.
I stayed the fuck out of the bars in Fargo, for obvious reasons.
way too many amateurs in most of them.
I mean, it was a college bar, so dunno how rough and ready it was.
Language?

Go Montana!
I never knew there was a transgender flag. Noice!
Bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee of the band Rush is 73 years old today. Here's the band in 1981 playing "Red Barchetta" in Montreal:

Here's the band at the 2026 Juno Awards with new drummer Anika Nilles performing "Finding My Way":

And finally, Geddy's finest moment appearing with Bob and Doug McKenzie to sing "Take Off":

A real cowboy-type railing against big companies buying up all the beautiful land in Montana so they can ruin it with McMansions?
Sounds like everyone who ever watched "Yellowstone" and rooted for Kevin Costner will be voting Forstag.
I don't have any art classes tomorrow. They're cleaning out the building, and it will take some time.
I'm looking forward to classes there in the future. I love that place.
Idle thought. It looks like the WB tax write-off, "Coyote vs Acme", will finally see a theatrical release.
It seems timely, since it's really about the enshittification of all consumer products.

Isn't commercial entertainment supposed to be an escape from our daily lives.

These assholes have no idea about how things work.
Certainly not in the *real* world at any rate.
