I pondered this morning, summer has truly fallen.
Glibs Gulch is open for bidness. The house is coming together nicely, and OMWC and I have discovered that we’ve gotten old. It’s probably the best for our alcohol damaged bodies.
Links, anyone?
Also known as the “Town of the Straight Frogs”.
I just posted this for the artwork on the dudes face.
I end with a feel good story from the cesspool known as Washington DC.
Okay. Time for a little fall music. Peace out, Glibbies.
That’s a really shitty pic.
Shoulda been screened.
My wife asked if that was the cabin in Allegheny.
Heh.
It goes well with the musical selection.
I miss the leaves turning colors in New Hampshire. In Texas it’s just slightly less ridiculously hot.
Hey, it was 65 degrees Fahrenheit this morning! It was a Texas miracle.
And I still seem to be the only person who drives around with their windows rolled down.
Pretty sure that’s because you are in the Houston area. You only leave your windows down there when you want to collect guns from carjackers.
I’m actually a bit north of Austin. I can see not wanting to keep the windows open in any of te large cities, but outside of that, seems odd to me.
Next time I am in Waco, I should go a little further south and visit.
Lol
Yeah, I do miss all the colors. But still, when the Aspens turn it’s pretty spectacular.
We’re just a little past peak color. Cold coming next week but still a couple more days of great fall weather. Fire in the morning early , then warm all day.
Some trees have changed here, most are still green though.
Our trees are turning but they look sickly because we are in a drought. No water == no color.
We’re supposed to get our first snow on Monday or Tuesday.
The problem with the leaves turning color in NH is it means six months of winter is coming.
👆🏻
Its really beautiful after a heavy snow, until I realize I have one job to do. It doesn’t get easier with experience either. Then it gets cold but in today’s world of central heat and insulation it doesn’t matter too much.
You need to get some snow removal orphans this year.
I was thinking new arrivals but then they may not know much about MN machinery.
Or a good snowblower.
Or go someplace without snow.
It’s a nice cool Saturday night, so I may be outside around a fire, but I’ll still kick off the Zoom/Happy Hour/Fire appreciation group tonight at 20:00 Eastern.
Thanks, Spud. Some gems in those lynx.
My brother ran all the IT for a suburb of St. Paul. Hearing his stories about the crazy firefighters makes the stripper story not only possible, but downright tame. Those boys know how to have a good time!
So lightning isn’t allowed on Easter Island? Seems like it would be a challenge to enforce.
Crazy shit in Iran. So apparently even despotic regimes ultimately need the consent of the governed. I wonder if DC is paying attention?
(I don’t)
So what’s for dinner tonight?
Dinner: cast iron skillet pizza made with no-knead dough.
Haven’t decided on red sauce or white yet.
White sauce. It’s what I eat on spaghetti, because when I was growing up everybody drowned spaghetti in tomato sauce.
I remember the first time I went to a restaurant that offered garlic and olive oil for the pasta, and loved it.
Green sauce (pesto) with some ricotta.
That sounds good. Not sure I have what I need though… I didn’t plan this in advance; just got up this morning and decided to make the dough on a whim, parked it outside on the 80 degree patio and let time do its thing.
Now I’ve brought it in, spread it out over an oiled and corn-mealed iron skillet, and covered it to rise another hour. Then into the highest temp oven I can do!
Olio y aioli.
Dinner is out tonight, at the fancy restaurant in town. https://www.sybarisbistro.com/menu
It is our anniversary, not a major one, but still a good night to go out.
Here’s a whole album of Fall songs! Nothing against the song you linked but…these are better.
If you like those, see (and hear) also his Winter songs, which are longtime favorites (particularly “Tommy Don’t Lick That Pipe.”)
Fall music, with copious amounts of chest hair

Vivaldi only has one piece, played 60 different ways. Like Boston.
The statues on Easter Island are fine. ………… unless global warning causes them to melt like a gummi bear that has been in a pocket too long. OMB!
It is fall here as well. I actually pulled the sheet over me for about an hour early this morning. High today 83, the low tomorrows should be 74
Ugh. 74 is too warm a high for human habitation.
I’m sure your body becomes well acclimated to it when it’s the same temp every single day of the year.
That’s unnatural!
When The First That Will Change Everything comes, there will be a First in everyone’s pocket.
Hi Hayek, missed your earlier post – depending on your timeframe, might be worth looking at I-series savings bonds. Current rate is 9.62% and when they recalculate 1 Nov, I don’t see it going down a whole lot.
Downside – you lock your funds up for 12 months – so a tad risky in that respect if you expect emergencies.
https://www.treasurydirect.gov/savings-bonds/i-bonds/
Thanks! I might divide it up and keep some liquid in the savings account and invest the rest of it.
At least we don’t have negative interest rates.
I second LCDR F. I grabbed some I bonds as well after the last rate climb. With that interest rate you almost keep up with inflation.
You can put in up to10K per year, and your other half up to that as well.
Wow, I’ve been hearing shit about PayPal for years but this takes the cake.
Paypal dropped it already claiming it was just an error (obviously a lie)
By error – They weren’t supposed to roll that out until AFTER the November elections.
It’s a shame as they’re a very convenient service but those terms of service blow.
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/new-paypal-policy-permits-company-to-fine-users-2500-for-misinformation/
We accidentally wrote and released that thing about misinformation, yup yup.
“The pushback was more than we thought it would be. We’ll try to sneak it in next year.”
I’m glad there are autists around to read that shit.
Yeah. I wondered why I got more than one email about the change to terms of service that I deleted without reading.
I mean…I didn’t wonder enough to read the damn things.
They don’t take $2500 out of your account. It’s only $2K, terms of service to announced sometime in the future
Yeah, that didn’t just spontaneously generate. Either an employee went rogue, in which case a public termination is in order, or they accidentally released it early or weren’t expecting anyone to notice.
Gotta be the latter, since they’ve had garbage policies for years about your account being hostage to things you say/do beyond their service and most people didn’t notice. They figured to get on the “anti-disinformation” train and everyone would clap.
You know, as well as I do, that language was vetted by a small army of lawyers. They didn’t expect anyone to notice. The backlash took them by surprise.
They need better PR people. Their excuse isn’t close to believable.
Hello, 4Chan.
Ha! You may be right.
Chafed may be crazy.
They didn’t expect anyone to notice.
They’re likely delusional enough to think that they would receive universal praise. Corporate legal departments at these tech and financial companies are nearly universally leftist. The echo chamber effect is strong.
I hadn’t thought of that. It’s reassuring to know they don’t learn from experience.
I can’t even. What the actual fuck?
I’m reading Mark Morano’s “The Great Reset” book. It starts out very Covid shutdown oriented but then gets into how a few global elites have been working on this shit for a good long while.
The chapter I’m on now covers digital currency and how we will be blocked from transactions or forced into other transactions.
Evil. Pure evil.
I knew bill gates was a dick, but I did not know jus how much of a dick he is.
I keep asking myself, cui bono? What is the reason?
Power is only useful if you can wield it, otherwise it’s like money in the bank, of no use ’til you spend it.
Ego, hubris, and the love of perceived control.
Re: Digital currency.
So my senator was corralled and asked if Congress should regulate crypto. She asked about NFTs. He said, “What’s that? What’s that stand for?” Her: “Nonfungible tokens.” Him: “Yeah, if I don’t know what it is I shouldn’t be regulating it.”
You know, that’s one of the more admirable things I’ve ever heard come out of a politician’s mouth.
Josh Hawley. Replaced Claire McCaskill. He’s done me a bit proud.
Sorry. TOS has declared him one of the evil new populists. All his views must be condemned.

Heaven forfend!
lolwut
Too much derp to continue
I do not know this “TOS” you speak of. *cough spit hack*
Terms Of Service are fairly common.
Okay, I read some of the comments on that article and I couldn’t force myself to wade through the spam work-at-home shit, They have a real problem over there.
“Work at home” spam in the comments? I thought that’s what registering in order to comment was supposed to prevent.
I’ve had no desire to read TOS for ages. I trust they’re glad to have driven away all the riff-raff.
Me too and now I remember why I don’t go there anymore. What a cesspool.
Libertarians are the worst. 😛
I won’t know what’s in it until passes. Of course, I’m voting yes, so I can find out what’s in it.
I dunno how much of his schtick is evil supervillain or just “hey look, shiny!”
“I just posted this for the artwork on the dudes face.“

Oh goodie it wasn’t just me.

Bless you for asking.
We can save that link.

You want nude pics of Kitty Carlisle Hart?
Persian writing looks like a bunch of boobs. Or is that because it’s a women’s march?

Take THAT Anne Frank.
That one is too easy to see as parody. That first one, you could send that to libs and they’d cheer it on, oblivious.
actual lol.
There are many copycats on twitter, but Titania is still the GOAT.
“ People often assume that I’m white because I have fair skin and I don’t have a criminal record. ”
Gold.
Oh wow. LOL.
I was raised a white child. I demand reparations!
“I actually have Native American ancestry. I may not have taken a DNA test or anything, but I have a fondness for trinkets and I really enjoyed Dances With Wolves. So that proves it.” I had no idea she is related to Elizabeth Warren.
I’m really enjoying this Titiana person
It’s the 50th anniversary of Che Guevara getting gunned down. Time for a beer.
Sweet. I’m near that limit beyond which I will wake up with a hangover if I’m not careful.
De Oppresso Liber
LOL I was going to post a “de” song and I discovered that some of my iTunes albums have gone chipmunk.
I’ve moved my music library back and forth and back again between Windows and Mac so many times I can’t count but… this is a new one.
iTunes reports 3508 kbps on these tracks lol wtf
De Oppresso Libre?
De Oppresso Liber is the Special Forces regimental motto. A SF team from was part of killing Che.
Yes, riffing it into a drink. Rum and Coke with a splash of Bloody Mary mix?
May he burn in hell for another 50 generations.
55, isn’t it?
…and in two games, the Cardinals are out of the postseason. 😒 Guess I don’t have to worry about being tempted to watch any more baseball games this year. I’ll hope, for ‘patzie’s sake, that the Mets take the NL, and I’ll hope that Cleveland takes the AL for the sake of Mr. Ilium. If those teams meet in the World Series, my support will go to the highest bidder.
Seattle came back from an 8-1 deficit to win 10-9. They are my hope for the AL.
Would love to see the Phillies scalp the Tomahawk Choppers. But that will be very difficult with the pitching staff Atlanta has.
Heavens no, not the New York teams. Or Houston, the fucking cheaters.

Good Morning World. I hope its a great day for everyone.
Morning, have a great day.
I’m up.
I roll in to the laundromat at 6:10 and there are already two trucks in the parking lot.
I guess the place opens before 6.
The small screen on my car that normally has the odometer flashed a warning this morning: Ice possible. Drive with care.
It would be a great morning to enjoy Tranquility Base.
Yeah, you’re welcome to it. It’s a balmy 39 degrees here. I ain’t going out there. 🥶
eh, thats weird. I don’t want my car telling me shit. How does it know? Just sensing below 32?
You must have a GM product. The camaro and my POS Envoy both tell me the same thing.
My Subaru tells me too!
I’m once again eternally grateful for its heated seats.
2017 Equinox.
It was in the mid-30s here this morning.
What?
It’s getting creepy now.
Meh. Of all the privacy- and other types of invasive tech being added to cars, I find an exterior thermometer to be the least troubling.
