"The year was 2025
(How I wish I was in Ogden now)
A letter of marque came from the Prez
To the crappiest bass boat I'd ever seen...

God damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for migrant drugs
We'd fire no guns, miss no meals
Now I'm a broken man in SLC
The last of Mike Lee's privateers"

This, in spades.
Also: one of the less fun and more noticeable parts of getting older is fatigue from stuff I could bounce back from easily when younger, like a stressful work week (or a couple of a few) or a very late night working and so forth.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Seriously. I need something that communicates "I do not like anything about this post, but I thank you for reporting it, and also, solidarity."

Doing my part monitoring the Canadian border for fentanyl smugglers. Should have brought a warmer coat.
