I got a bottle of Ardbeg for my birthday and I'm saving it for the day that the Loper decision comes down from the Supreme Court. I'm trusting that Chevron and Massachusetts get overturned in that decision, dismantling the greatest fraud in our history, "climate change".
Once that brings the progressive con to light for all to see, the engineer of this Supreme Court will walk to victory, probably while Biden collapses in senile rage.
No, no "lesser of two evils" for me. Just creeping totalitarianism crushed by a return to our concepts of "Land of the Free" enshrined in our Constitution.

Hard libertarian real close to the conservative boundary.
For whatever that matters.

A little spray paint should fix that weird finish right up.

Oakland University? WTF? That's 45 minutes from the house I grew up in. Well now I've got a reason to care.

Been kind of a weird couple days around here. On Wednesday there was a controlled burn scheduled for over on the Massanutten. So far, so good.
So the fire people lit it off Wednesday morning. By afternoon, winds had jumped to 20-30 mph with gusts to 50 mph. Everything started catching fire at that point and some folks started being evacuated. An area close to us had 15 houses burn to the ground and folks have been diligently taking up collections and putting the people and pets up in local schools. Although this was all close to us, nothing has impacted us so far.
Came in to work this morning (I took a vacation day yesterday) and the mountain between here (New Market) and Luray is still burning.
And then sometime yesterday, some major Mexican cartel boss escaped in DC and came out here somewhere. So all night long we've got helicopters flying around the neighborhood looking for that guy and any remaining fire stuff and I guess the next sign of the apocalypse.
So weird.

She tells offender "You know what you did." Ooooo... hope you're ducking for cover with that one.

I think most pollsters are moving to texts. No one can resist a text. I find them even easier to get rid of without reading.

I won't mention that it's the first dqy of spring, as that is Marty's domain. Not in our house. Melva's birthday is the 21st, so that's what we go by. Our anniversary is the 20th, the real first day of spring. That's Wednesday for all y'all that aren't counting.

If I don’t know the number, I don’t answer. They can go to voicemail. My SIL actually has her voice mail prompt telling people that, and to leave a message if they’re someone who actually needs to contact her. I do the same thing. Add everyone I need to talk to into my contacts. If someone calls and a name comes up, I answer. If not, they go to voice mail. If they leave a message that convinces me they're real, I'll call them back. After that they're simply forgotten.

Everyone knows there's no such thing as an October Surprise. Could be true. But this is more like a Late June Surprise. And the EPA losing their ability to regulate CO2 would be instantaneous. The rest of it may take a few weeks to follow.

I still believe that June will bring the reversal of Chevron and the end to the 40 year progressive con that has destroyed what remained of a free and democratic society. And that will be entirely Trump's fault. November won't even be a contest after that. Do you think the average voter on either side will actually care or notice in the short time between that ruling and the election? I'm not questioning the importance of that decision - just the influence of it on an election just a few months later. Well, if the EPA instantly craters, liberals never so much as mention Dobbs again, the paperwork involved in your business suddenly decreases 75%, Tesla suddenly contemplates bankruptcy, Northern Virginia experiences its first ever unemployment driven recession, the US pulls out of the Paris Accords followed by a bunch of other countries deciding not to play if we're not going to play, and Joe Biden's dementia accelerates to a full permanent fetal position, I'd say that will be plenty of time to influence the election.

Thank y'all very much. My wife and I both took the day off and did old married folk things, like pretty much anything she wanted to do.
Got breakfast down at the Queen Street Diner (and some anonymous folk paid for it for no apparent reason), took the pups to the property and let them run themselves silly, and went to Home Depot and Lowes to get roughly a billion more tile samples for her to evaluate for a bathroom remodeling she wants to do.
Oh, and since the young pup is approaching her first birthday, I started playing guitar again.
Pretty much the story of my life.
Wouldn't have it any other way.

Sounds like the Democratic party. Well, I guess that's become a religion, too. How's that beam in your eye? As sharply focused and bright as ever.

Well, there's that matter of conflicing truths reported by multiple sources of revelation, followed by enforcement by explicitly authoritarian organizations. (Examples available on request.) Sounds like the Democratic party. Well, I guess that's become a religion, too.

I can't think of any. I like what I've got. Me either. Of course I really never get rid of guitars at all.

I know nothing about dog sled races. But in my bird hunting days I took some of my dogs along on quail hunts. It was as if I'd seen the real dog for the first time. They were born to hunt. They were in their element and they loved it. About a year ago now we picked up a couple of dogs to help fill our time in old age. The first was a English Setter mutt (we think) rescue from Texas named Annie. Big, sweet, dopey, and definitely the mellow one of the pair. A couple months after that my wife discovered a neighbor with an absolutely gorgeous Irish Setter named Monty. My wife's always loved Irish Setters so she then figured out where the breeder was (Oklahoma) and we arranged to get a little 8 week old half-sister puppy that we've named Iris (Iris H. Setter- get it?). Irish Setters, we have learned, are uncontrollable bird dogs and absolutely fearless and voracious hunters of anything else that moves and they can get close enough to. She's been quite a trip. She snagged a small bird in our backyard last summer and then proceeded to play with the body while my wife watched in horror. The neighbor who clued her into Irish Setters has 50 acres of undeveloped land on the other side of the freeway at the base of the Alleghenies that he lets us take the dogs out to just to let them run. Annie, being slower and dopier specializes in finding piles of poop (deer, bear, mouse, whatever) and rolling in it. I forgot to mention she's pure white. Last Saturday, she went down in the tall grass and came up a sick blend of brown and green with big wads of poop stuck in her prodigious hair. Yikes. Iris, on the other hand, runs full bore from the moment the car door is open. She got a mole about a week ago and proceeded to do the same victory dance with that. Now every time we go out, she finds the gradually disintegrating corpse (how the hell does she do that on 50 acres?) and rolls all over it, before springing up and chasing flocks of birds all over the property. My wife joined an Irish Setter board on Facebook and asked about it. The answer- "what do you mean that they haven't brought it into the house yet? Get used to it." That dog's a stone killer.
