John, I replied something to your something (couple days ago? maybe?) and told you about a charming group of scamps I scamp about with online. I hope you find it!
When I was 18 I went in for a bet of ten whole English pounds on a game of pool against a guy with a broken arm. Now, I was very good at pool, and this guy had a broken arm. I couldn't really afford ten pounds but felt it was worth it.
Son, one day someone will come up to you with a deck of cards on which the seal has not been broken. And this man will bet you that he can make the Jack of hearts jump out and squirt cyder in your ear. And you do not take this bet because as sure as you're stand there, you'll have an ear full of cyder."

The Engine is sent to a report of utility wires down on W. William Cannon Dr. It's a major road. Engine calls for a Ladder, a Medic and the electric utility because 800 volt power lines are doing the bounce and arc dance in the middle of the road. A young guy in a new Toyota Tundra struck the pole. Air bags deployed and spilled his Yeti cup full of something alcoholic so he's got issues. Cops are trying to herd cats driving cars who are enamored with loud high voltage cables bouncing around and about to hit each other. Solved that problem by using the big ladder to shut down 3 road lanes and push everyone onto neighborhood streets. Requested the Utility to drop power within 1 square block grid. Sorry neighbors but I got a injured, intoxicated driver with a broken ankle and unforgiving energized wires that are chipping asphalt - and it's noisy. Power is remotely cut, the utility arrives, climbs pole and drops the circuit breakers (utility electricians are bad ass). ETOH young man packaged up, splinted and is off to the hospital. Police search the vehicle and finds a stolen handgun. Well isn't that fricking lovely. Utility crews fixing cables and power was restored in less than 60 minutes.
That's quite a few felony charges for this early on a Sunday morning.
Downsizing or eliminating entirely local, accessible mental health services and substance abuse care in the US too long ago has demonstrated itself to have been a deadly decision.
Hiring more cops isn't going to fix this. I'm just damned glad that no emergency assistance professionals were injured on that call. Those downed power lines are damned dangerous.
I have to say that the GQP's bullshit about Biden being so old that he's not competent have worked like a charm.
People think TRUMP is more physically and mentally fit than Biden. OMG, has anyone in this country ever LISTENED to anything Donald Trump says? He's a babbling idiot. He makes 2nd term Reagan seem like a brain genius.

"Fox News censored former President Donald Trump on Sunday as he ranted about running against Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and former First Lady Michelle Obama.
In an interview that aired on Sunday, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo noted that Trump believes he may not run against President Joe Biden.
"Well, Gavin Newsom's right out of central casting," Bartiromo said. "How are you going to do up against Gavin Newsom?"
"Because he's, he's so much bullshit," Trump said as Fox News censored the former president. "His state is doing horribly. You look at the homeless problem. You look at the people that are leaving. You have companies that are leaving. They're all leaving for other locations. I think Gavin's easy because California is a disaster.""
"Bartiromo also asked about the possibility of Michelle Obama running.
"How are you going to do against Michelle Obama?" the Fox News host wondered.
"You have to see," Trump insisted. "Look, I've seen polls where she doesn't do well. She may do well, but I've seen polls where I beat her easily."
"I beat her by a lot," he added. "I had four great years.""
"Because he's, he's so much bullshit," Trump said as Fox News censored the former president. "His state is doing horribly. You look at the homeless problem. You look at the people that are leaving. You have companies that are leaving. They're all leaving for other locations. I think Gavin's easy because California is a disaster.""
People are leaving California for the first time ever. The reason? The high cost of housing. It's weird that prices are so high for all of these liberal hellholes, because if people are leaving, usually prices for rent and home buying go DOWN, not up.
I wonder what companies are leaving CA? The ones that want to go to Texas so they don't have to pay any taxes? I hope they enjoy moving to the number one climate disaster state in the nation.
Yeah, it's gotten to the point when I can tell if someone watches Fox News by their discussions of blue cities - "I know a guy who had to sell his $10 million apartment in NYC because the crime is so bad that he has to have an armed guard walk him from his apartment to a restaurant."
My reply was "that's weird, because my 90 year old mother and I go to NYC fairly regularly, with no issues." I should have added "it's weird that someone was willing to buy a $10 million apartment in a crime ridden hellhole."
Another example: "nobody lives in SF anymore."
Me: "yeah, that's weird, because my friend's son just left SF because his 1 bedroom apartment was $4500 a month. You'd think with nobody living there that apartments would be a lot cheaper."
I live in Charleston, SC where we have a TON of new people moving to our city every week. A lot of them are coming from NY and CA. The reason? It's warm 11 months out of the year here, and the taxes are low, and our housing is cheapER than CA and NY. The irony is that Charleston has always been a blue city. We got our first Republican mayor in 150 years this year, and I blame all the elderly dipshit Republicans who are moving here.
Just how absolutely and unequivocally does former FLOTUS the esteemed Michelle Obama have to clearly articulate that she does not NOW nor has she EVER in her entire life had ANY personal political aspirations what-so-EVER>?
Drumpfenfuehrer continues to dive more deeply into dank, depraved, thoroughly and entirely baseless, groundless, intangible DELUSIONS.
Trump wants to run on 3 issues - crime, the border, and the economy.
The only one I see Trump "winning" on is the border. I wish the media would point out that Trump is the one trying to quash the border crack down. I wish they'd also point out that there was an immigrant surge when Trump was POTUS too, but he quashed it by bungling the Covid response, and nobody wanted to come here.

This movie is terrific. And hey Sly Stone even started his performance on time for once.
We loved this film. And I would love to plumb the depths of Questlove’s brain. When Ken Burns tackles rock music it would serve him well to have Questlove be the guide. Sure there’d be soul and R&B at the root of it all. That’s the start and Questlove know all about it.
There are 87 prop bets involving Taylor Swift on one gambling website.
12-1 if she’s seen eating a hot dog

It’s tempting but I’m not doing online betting.
I gambled on horse racing on TVG while waiting months during Covid to get my hips replacement. It was entertaining and distracted me from my misery.
Some people wager on anything
I think I have never bet money on anything, ever. This may be one reason why I have some.
I remember betting pennies with my sister watching horse racing. Hint- Always put your money on Carryback.
John, I replied something to your something (couple days ago? maybe?) and told you about a charming group of scamps I scamp about with online. I hope you find it!
Was this your allusion to a Twitter group? I have always stayed completely off that platform, I'm afraid.
Yes. i joined for the war coverage, like millions of us, sadly.
Aggravation and embarrassment of the Russians "by cartoon dogs" goes some way to easing that pain :-)
When I was 18 I went in for a bet of ten whole English pounds on a game of pool against a guy with a broken arm. Now, I was very good at pool, and this guy had a broken arm. I couldn't really afford ten pounds but felt it was worth it.
Yeah I got sharked to fuck.
Put me off it a bit.

And you do not take this bet because as sure as you're stand there, you'll have an ear full of cyder."
I'll bet you felt that loss at 18! It seems to have learned ya.
Same, lol. A lifelong principle.
But then I spend mine on books and perfume. Still think I come out ahead of gamblers :-)

When Trump says he looks like Elvis, he means Fat Elvis, right?
The one straining on the terlet. That one.
I thought the dead, bloated, on the toilet Elvis
a few days dead on the toilet, bloated but still doesn't smell as bad as #TrumpStink

I was thinking it had to be in Florida, but then I realized Texas is now trying to out Florida, Florida.
Sounds like quite a dull, sedentary job, where nothing different ever happens, but I guess it's a living.

It is amazing that you first responders and the utility people were able to resolve this so very quickly. Wow!

Which people? His adoring cultists?
Poll results show that American voters think Trump is both more physically AND mentally fit, than Biden.
The reason I think the propaganda was effective is because Biden's numbers have dropped by 15% in the past year.
Off to work. Be back in five-ish hours. Hope nothing apocalyptic happens while I'm out.

So he beat Michelle now? I thought he said he won against Barrack.
He'd probably win against my gentleman farmer friend's favorite chicken, Bawk Obama.
He'd get a shellack from Barack.

No, Fox News has an even bigger boner for the idea than Trump does.
