Public lands aren’t just scenic—they’re essential. They support rural economies, small businesses, and Veterans who find healing in these spaces.
Congress must keep public lands public—our communities depend on it. Don’t sell us out.

That's weird; last night when I walked down this street by myself every lady I passed wanted to give me a massage, but tonight walking down the same street with my wife none of the ladies are even looking up from their phones. 🤣

On a quest for edible cannabis and pad Thai, we pass a weed store but it's closed. Sign says inquire next door. Next door is a fortune teller. She lets us in, asks how we're enjoying our holiday. "So much we decided to stay here." I wish you could have seen her eyes light up. 🤩

We're getting our toes did and wow this is by far the best pedicure I've ever had. And it's less than $30. Next we're going next door for wagyu yakiniku. Also less than $30.

We made it. We're in Southeast Asia. This is both the farthest east and the farthest west I've ever been.

This is the reason I did not want to be a small animal vet. I can't even imagine what it must be like being a pediatrician. JFC.

One year I decided to smoke a turkey on the weber grill, which is fine. But it was taking longer than I had anticipated & we were due at my team sgt's house across town. So I got the brilliant idea of strapping the entire grill down in the bed of my pickup so the bird could continue cooking...
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore
I feel like we need this

TIL that when I say, "let's see" out loud my Apple brand mobile device mistakes it for the robot assistant's wake word.

Bruh, they've outlawed bullwhips. Not even kidding.
the city of Reno could bring in a lot of tourism if they made it legal to commit up to one murder in homage to Johnny Cash

Mobile auto detailing: kinda expensive, disruptive when their truck/trailer blocks in both your cars all day, still totally worth it.

I read it and no, you shouldn't. It's a waste of time and ink.
This article is from @markhertling.bsky.social - a retired three-star Army general - and everyone should read it.

When we moved to this mountain paradise in the middle of winter 5 years ago my Irish Cousin had shoveled the driveway, stacked the firewood & had the fire blazing & beers & a shepherd's pie in the fridge when we rolled up. So I asked him to make me a shepherd's pie as a going away present. Yum. 😋

This reminds me of Cardinal John Henry Newman's book Definition of a Gentleman. I often cite Newman's book because it's so instructive. The term gentleman is so overwrought and frequently abused, but to the degree it means anything at all, I think Newman captures it here:

I can make an amazing turkey, at least six different ways. But I do it as a flex. Turkey tastes fine, but nowhere near good enough to justify all the work. Unless you're just showing off like me.
I'm sick of this psyop that turkey sucks. I can only assume it derives from Big Ham. Oh, turkey is too dry? Learn how to brine properly, put some gravy on it, go for the dark meat. BuT iT's ToO bLaNd! Any protein can be too bland if you're balls at cooking it!
One side effect of half the world being in the throes of a fascist takeover is that comments like "turkey sucks" that used to lead to a 4 hour slapfight and approximately 135 blocks are now met with "well thats just like your opinion man" and thats progress

My ex-m-i-l was retired from United so I used to fly on her passes, space a, and that meant I had to wear slacks just in case I got seated in 1st class. I never got seated in 1st class. You can bet your a$$ I'm flying in pajamas. 😠
