Engorgeous George

I had to smile at me seeking an abortion (I of course know what you meant by the phrase, but the literal meaning, which was not your meaning, made mer smile.). As for protecting individual rights in a straight representative democracy, well I would have to see that Constitution before I could opine on it.

Its never easy taking the car keys away from Grandpa.

Biden wants to know if he can have tapioca pudding for breakfast. Dr. Jill says no, he needs his Grape-nuts for the fiber.

The tyranny of the majority may seem fair if you are a part of that majority, but not when you find yourself in the minority. My concern is that the wise are the minority while the majority is a mindless mob.

The fake story intrigued me to read up on the Bugatti Tourbillion. With its horsepower and top speeds I cannot imagine many will survive. That car's capabilities are beyond the ability f all but a very rare few to drive, yet those of average or subaverage capabilities are bound to get behind the wheel and to do so while impaired. Talk about an accident looking for a place to happen.

I miss the days when ukranian farmers were towing away russian tanks with their tractors. Meanwhile this war rages on through its third summer. As always the ambitions of powerful men bring hardship and dispair to the common folk.

My sincere condolences on losing your faithful friend.

REO Speedwagon had a decent start but went bubblegum.

I attend no services and am not a member of any formal religion though 5 decades ago I was confirmed in the Catholic Church. If anything my beliefs are a m,ixture of taoism, zen buddhism, and baha'i, but really I am without belief though occassionally filled with wonder. I have heard it said that grace is not earned, but given. Perhaps there will be epiphany for me yet. who can say?

Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship comes to mind

2:30 AM Friday morning is really a late night on Thursday, the 4th of July. I'm guessing the cause wqass alcoho9l and the implement was the firework.

She's thinkening a bit over the years but still worth a look or two.

Well you laid me bare for all to see.

I don't think folks across the street from me doing whatever it was they were doing would terribly concern me in my secure, bunkered facility with armed guards, no. As for the "you people" reference you would be hard pressed to find me supporting the actions of the folks who breached the capitol building on January 6 since I do not defend those folks. It is possible to find humor, to find pathos, to find irony in actions without suporting those actions.

Drove from Denver to Vegas for the Dead at the Sphere their opening weekend. Nice drive. We ran a bit of the Green River. I will be going again. The water will be down so i wil be using my backpacking raft, my Kokopeli, as opposed to my RMR Storm I took last time. I need to find a new section to run. Then I need to find some shrooms in Vegas for the show. Should not be too hard to do so.

I wonder if AOC was traumatized by this event as well. She risks her life on the daily for the likes of you and me.

Thats a whole lot of, what, difficult to describe.

I might have enjoyed church more as a youth if my denomination spoke in tongues and handled snakes. Instead it was all transubstantiation and Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa. To this man's inner child Pentacostalists>Catholics. To the griown man, well I have no use for any of them. When I briefly encounter God it is in the mountains, in roaring whitewater, in rock outcroppings, in music, in a child's laugh or a woman's smile. That is why I live where I do and go where I go.

Will there be yellow school buses in those craters?

He will just dub her Kamala the Kackler and his supporters will enthusiastically back him. (Alliteration is big when assigning derrogatory or demeaning nick nmaes.)

Not in the eyes of many evangelicals.

I never did. Certainly not going to happen at this age.

I believe Cheney called it "peppering". He peppered the guy in the face. Apparently "to pepper" is a verb.

Well maybe my next effort will meet with your approval, though I am guessing otherwise. Moving forward I will do you the courtesy of saving you some time by just assuming you disapprove, if that helps.
