Spotts and Callyson look like the kind of people you meet and instantly want to be life-long friends with. Congratulations you two! And thank you Rebecca for the wonderful wedding pictures. I'm so glad Baconz was there, too! What a gorgeous spot to get married in, I'm very happy for them that everything went so beautifully.
I've heard tell that there are different time zones for the eastern and western coasts. On the Gulf coast though, I've found that if you keep your clock set to, oh, 40 years or so behind the times, it's accurate enough.
Ha! I've actually now lived in all 4 of the time zones in the continental US. Grew up in Central, then moved to Pacific in the late nineties through early aughts. Then we moved to Mountain time in 2008, and finally Eastern last year. Of all of them, I think I preferred Mountain the best. I loved always having sunlight by 7am no matter what time of year (maybe that was just Albuquerque) and, honestly? I loved that it was so quiet and unassuming. I mean, who ever talks about Mountain time? I do like living on the east coast now, though. It's very, very different than the southwest, but all the green is very soothing to my soul. Who knew?
Living in AZ means I change time zones every year without even moving. We don't do daylight savings so right now we are on Pacific. When it ends on Nov 3 we will be on Mountain.
When they say one bad apple spoils the barrel, they mean the whole barrel comes rotten. Also, on a site I used to read regularly but lost contact with there was the argument that police forces in America did not come about to solve crime but to beat up unruly peasants and they continue to do that today even as we kid ourselves that they are to protect "us." , the peasants of America.
It’s bugfuck insane. What about my right to choose the most effective vaccine for me? Am I going to have to travel out of state to get proper healthcare? Will they try to ban that too?
“Ma’am, are you leaving the state to get a vaccine? I can’t let you do that.”
Thirty-something years ago I was a bridesmaid in a wedding that took place on Lake Tahoe on a steamboat. Afterwards, we disembarked and posed for photos in what appears to be the same location as Spotts and Callyson were married! Wishing much love and happiness to the newlyweds, and to that other gorgeous couple "..runnin' around with the rag-top down...🎶
I was a HS and College debater and a paid debate judge and I tracked this debate carefully.
Tim Walz won.
He won points on substance, delivery and hitting Vance twice hard- on Abortion and Healthcare and getting a painful uppercut in at the Bell on Insurrection. The most memorable things here are Vance's non response to 2020 Election denial :
Walz: "Look, when Mike Pence made that decision to certify the election, that's why Mike Pence isn't on this stage.. America, I think you’ve got a really clear choice on who’s going to honor Democracy and who’s going to honor Donald Trump"]
Winner.
Vance came off more normal and Tim was not into throwing anvils to him and more focused on talking about Harris's good policy suggestions.
IMO Walz could have defended Harris against some of the "she's been in office 3 1/2 years so why no progress?" questions two ways- he could have deflected with Trump's failure and how deep we had to dig ourselves out and Republicans complete failure to work with Dems, or he could have said "You know Veeps don't have that kind of power, JD?"...
I believe that Walz's marching orders were to be Tim Walz. Harris feels she can defend herself.
Net result will be Vance picking up his underwater favorables, but still underwater and he will squander this goodwill in a couple of weeks with some other dumb thing he does or said.
From HuffPost: "Donald Trump on Monday suggested “transgender” is the principal subject now taught in schools. He had a sympathetic ear in Fox Nation host Kellyanne Conway, his former adviser who introduced the world to the concept of “alternative facts.”
“We want reading, writing and arithmetic,” Trump said in a conversation about his plans for education reform if he wins the election next month. “Right now, you have mostly transgender. Everything’s transgender.”"
Beautiful wedding... love it at Lake Tahoe, I just read yesterday that it is 2.3 million years old...they dated by some black rocks. Best wishes to the newlyweds.

It’s my understanding you can say whatever you like - within the boundaries of libel/slander laws - about any member of the judiciary as long as you’re neither under a current gag order forbidding it, nor standing before the bench.
Wawa was a dairy store that became a convenience store that later sold gas. I have not looked it up, but would not be surprised to learn that Sheetz' trajectory was different.
So it seems the thing right wingers have picked up on was Walz saying he was friends with school shooters. And they are obviously not taking it the way he meant it. Scandal!
What an absolutely lovely couple! My heart bursts!

I watched and could hear my father's voice booming, "Tootie! I just raked those leaves!!" I hope that juvenile keeps his sense of joy.
I was at a complete loss trying to identify that playful creature! I thought of Edward Gorey’s doubtful guest.
There are few better ways to start off the day than a cup of hot coffee and babby muskox zoomies.

Yak, yak, yak! Fake gnus.
I am ashamed that I did not come up with this one.
Blame it on the time zone, I always did. 😁
EST is the only time zone. I don't know what all these other mythical zones are.

CyST
A few weeks ago I was in the Mountain one. It was weird.
I've heard tell that there are different time zones for the eastern and western coasts. On the Gulf coast though, I've found that if you keep your clock set to, oh, 40 years or so behind the times, it's accurate enough.
EST: Estimated Time?
All time is an estimation.
This ends the philosophy section of our coverage.

Where did you find video of Tim Walz after the debate -
That was the weirdest looking dog I ever saw.

She’s gorgeous and she got to Wonkmarry America’s Dad™️
She wears that wedding dress ... um, VERY well.

It looks like a hairy feral babby pigalo.

Weren't pigalos one of the horrid effects of irresponsible gene-tinkering in Margaret Atwood's "Before the Flood"?, or am I remembering that wrong?
I feel strongly that any tinkering of Gene without his consent was just wrong.

Barry or Roddenberry. I can't remember.

Boy howdy, I'm glad someone else saw that too!
Congratulations to the lovely couple!
Great wedding photos! A stunning backdrop for a couple of wonderful people. I wish you all the good things and happiness

It’s not vaccine skepticism. When the Texas gop calls for banning mRNA technology, it’s anti-science hysteria.
It’s bugfuck insane. What about my right to choose the most effective vaccine for me? Am I going to have to travel out of state to get proper healthcare? Will they try to ban that too?
“Ma’am, are you leaving the state to get a vaccine? I can’t let you do that.”
FFS.

So a pretty good debate for Harris/ Walz overall.
I hope the voters have your discerning eye. I for one appreciate the education from a professional.
They don't, but this will change few minds...hopefully we pick up some Non College white Women and maybe their menfolk, every little bit helps!

So fuck those assholes.
Great pics of a beautiful wedding! Congrats Spotts and Callyson, you look wonderful.
We’ll get our official photos and reception photos when we get back from our honeymoon. Our photographers were great.
So happy for you two! ❤❤❤

Wawa Named Nation's Top Convenience Store In New Study | Media, PA Patch
https://patch.com/pennsylvania/media/wawa-named-nations-top-convenience-store-first-ever-study
> The Wawa versus Sheetz debate is solved!
Wawa was a dairy store that became a convenience store that later sold gas. I have not looked it up, but would not be surprised to learn that Sheetz' trajectory was different.
I believe Sheetz was always a convenience store that the Sheetz brothers owned and ran in Western PA. It went all upscale about 20+ years ago or so.
Sounds like MI's Quality Dairy
What a great couple. So happy for them both, and sorry I couldn't be there.
So it seems the thing right wingers have picked up on was Walz saying he was friends with school shooters. And they are obviously not taking it the way he meant it. Scandal!
