'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Fingers crossed on the dog.
(For that matter fingers crossed on our democratic republic remaining a functioning democracy.)
I drove the Big Scary Bus with an actual passenger today! It's got a wheelchair lift, so all that had to be deployed, and even if I practiced, it's still much more stressful to be doing it by myself for the first time! So now I feel like I'm officially a Real Driver (tm).
I am not playing Mad Libs with you. Instead of just saying "jock strap," he said "blank strap."
...okay. Sure. He said "bullshit" in a tweet earlier, but it's "blank strap." Makes sense.
Is it evil of me to wish this whole mess sends the "Healthiest President Ever's" blood pressure skyrocketing high enough to cause something to pop? Or to wake Strom Thurmond up hungry in his crypt down in the Capitol's basement, I'm not picky...
Timelies all!
In the 90s here today. Supposed to be in the 70s by the weekend. Fall is weird.
Unfortunately, it's Bernie Sanders who just had to get a stent or whatever.
Ugh. There is no hot water in my Airbnb. And the issue with the laundry. Not pleased.
Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 97 and on Friday 95. Then a cold snap and the high on Saturday will be around 77 and then next week it will be (hopefully) in the high 70s and low 80s.
I somehow got into a current events discussion with a coworker. One coworker , who said she is 38, claimed she is NOT A Millennial and Millennials are the kids in school and both of them were talking about how kids these days don't know how easy it is. And then somehow it segued into the older coworker saying that no matter how you feel about the current administration they are bringing industry and manufacturing back to the US and the current policies mean that America will once again be self reliant like they were back in the day. And coal will come back! I really should have stopped talking and walked away but somehow I couldn't.
I'm very sorry that I can only seem to duck in here for a quick post. Just wanted to say that Hamilton was phenomenal! Ryan was thrilled, and has been singing snatches of it since.
We're now in D.C. with 36-degree weather (97F). Mosquitoes have been devouring Ryan, we have confirmation that he's a nummy treat. Thanks to Hamilton, we know who to blame for tge nation's capital being built on a swamp. More when I get the chance.
Oh! And a reply to DebetEsse from so long back: I'm afraid you're right, we won't be getting out of Honolulu while we're in Hawaii. Indeed I think we'll barely make it off Waikiki Beach.
Happy travels, billytea and family! Don't let the MAGA hats get you.
Today was the hottest October 2nd since they started keeping temperature records in my county, and the hottest October temperature recorded since 1897.
