Some Hessians know me as the greyrat.

Lumbar spine full of arthritis and stenosis but currently mostly asymptomatic.

Less than three years to retirement from a job I despise, but I'll never make it.

Afraid for my non-conforming friends and acquaintances
Hey Pam. I know you got the girlfriend, but here's the one of the actual founders of antifa.

Forgotten photos - B sides: Not technically a B side. January 2004. Ponte Sospiri, Venice, with yours truly in the foreground. You can tell what's most important to the registered architect spouse.

Suggestion: Disney+ should rebrand as Toady+.

Truth in advertising. Just sayin'.

Forgotten photos - B sides: October 2009. Gravois Road bridge over the Meremac river. Fun to dive at 45 MPH. Jerk the steering wheel hard left when entering and hard right when leaving to not go into the river or into the weeds. And pretend that the thing was structurally sound the whole time.

Remember when "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" was canceled? Even though that was politically motivated, this is not the same.

Remember: If you're an asshole nicknamed Big Balls, and you get beat up by a couple random teenagers, you are more worthy of federal protection than the entire legislative branch of the government.

This is how low the United States has sunk.

So, the US is in line to be as much of a theocracy as Afghanistan, but as a bonus, we'll have the economy of Venezuela. Nice.

Forgotten photos - B sides: Bermuda, January 2019. This is part of one of the Tribe Roads, which used to define parishes. I'm pretty sure this is Tribal Road No. 6 looking from Railway Trail towards Middle Road. It's located about a mile east of Gibbs Hill Lighthouse.

See, the thing the Nazis didn't concentrate on was ECONOMICALLY DESTROYING THEIR BASE.

Funny how the US has basically the government of Iran now: Supreme Leader who rules by decree, priestly council with token opposition that decides whether the decisions are okay or not on arcane scriptural grounds, and completely ceremonial legislature

OK, OK. Stay with me here. The face of actress Gwyneth Keyworth: From about the middle of the nose up - Audrey Hepburn. From the middle of the nose down - Katharine Hepburn.

Prove me wrong.

He’s so cool
THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can.

ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

As an old white man, I have to say: We gotta get all the old white men out of politics. What a shitshow.
