That is some serious pms.
Yep, I only have another week or two before it’s time to close up the cabin for the season. It has been a spectacular September. But when the elk and deer hunters show up, it’s a sign that it’s about to get cold.
Shall we link?
Brace yourself, Bobby. The DOJ is about to go in dry. They have a reputation to salvage.

I’m doing a load of laundry. I haven’t had my own washing machine since the late 90s. It’s so fucking decadent.
Come over to the dark side. We have driers also.
*hands Rhywun a roll of fabric softener*
I do have a drier!
Am eagerly anticipating using it.
Look at you living like an adult.
You didn’t wash and fold?
It was the first thing I spent my raise on when I lived in a walk up in Hoboken.
I hated spending several hours every other week at the laundromat on my Saturday day off.
Sometimes, like the last 12 years, I had a W&D on the ground floor and sometimes I even used it. But mostly yeah, I just paid someone else to do it.
I absolutely refused to ever sit around in a laundromat to do it myself. Even in much poorer days.
Thankfully we always had a dryer, so back at the old place we only needed to use the washing machines at the laundromat and were home in about 90 minutes. Having both now is wonderful.
(Even before we started having well problems the water had a fairly extreme iron content.
Cold and rainy here, but this dinosaur is loving it.

Hot and dry. Per the now dead thread, I broke rocks in the heat.

I blame Obama. We are at a Benihanas and sitting with a black family. The grandma of that family is fun and talkative but the mom and son…daggers at the white folk at the table. We are equally here to eat subpar Japanese food. At least laugh!
Spoken like a white slave owner.
Ignore them.
Wait, you are all appropriating Asian culture.
Benihana is a guilty pleasure.
Also, they usually have sake by the glass or carafe so you can try stuff you wouldn’t normally buy a big bottle of.
So much cultural appropriation
The name itself was ridiculous.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_(song)
In Anglophone countries, the song is best known under the alternative title “Sukiyaki”, the name of a Japanese hot-pot dish with cooked beef. The word sukiyaki does not appear in the song’s lyrics, nor does it have any connection to them; it was used only because it was short, catchy, recognizably Japanese, and more familiar to English speakers. A Newsweek columnist compared this re-titling to issuing “Moon River” in Japan under the title “Beef Stew”.

Was the chef Mexican?
Yes and I spoke too soon. Fantastic family once we were over the ‘should we mingle’ vibe.
Me too. Jits kicked my ass today, in a pretty productive way. I have an amazing prime ribeye resting under a thick layer of salt, pepper, and crushed rosemary right now though (and five more vacuum-sealed in the freezer…)
I’m in the process of eating a NY Strip. Just salt and pepper for seasoning though.
Mmmm…
…and now the beef is gone.
😥
I made some tzatziki earlier today. Later I will grill some pork to accompany it.

I’m starting to think Colorado isn’t going to win this game.
Cassidy Hutchinson, a senior assistant to former chief of staff Mark Meadows, writes in her memoir “Enough” that the former president once selected a white mask to wear during a May 2020 visit to the Honeywell mask production facility. However, according to an excerpt from the book published by The Guardian, Hutchinson subtly suggested he not wear that particular mask.
“I pointed at the straps of the N95 I was holding,” she writes. “When he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw they were covered in bronzer.”
“Why did no one else tell me that?” he reportedly snapped. “I’m not wearing this thing.”
Hutchinson laments that reporters never knew “the depth of his vanity had caused him to reject masks,” which led Trump loyalists to eschew keeping their own faces covered during the pandemic that killed more than a million Americans.
I believe every word she says.
Keeping the Mel Brooks references going.

Back from the grocery store. I needed to restock the essentials: Beer, coffee, milk, cookies. I wonder if I have anything to eat in the house. I think I can manage a ham sandwich.
I grabbed a jar of (supposedly) Hatch chile verde. Might have to test that.
I made some pizzas with random cheese and toppings.

President Joe Biden received the updated Covid-19 vaccine, according to a memo from White House physician Kevin O’Connor released Saturday.
“As we enter the cold and flu season, the President encourages all Americans to follow his example and to check with their healthcare provider or pharmacist to assure that they are fully vaccinated,” O’Connor wrote in the memo.
The president received the Covid vaccine alongside the annual flu vaccine Friday, O’Connor wrote. First lady Jill Biden experienced “mild symptoms” when she contracted Covid earlier this month. The president tested negative.
The updated shot was approved by the FDA earlier this month and the CDC recommended it for all individuals six months and older — however, the rollout has been rocky.
Maybe his arm will fall off.
Sorry to disappoint. He probably takes a placebo.
^This^
The whole debacle was a dog and pony show from the info they were , the numbers they jimmied and the measures they tried to force on us.
All of it is bullshit.
Something, usually a flu, on par with or worse than these cootie bugs comes around every fucking year. Every year. Have they done this before?
“Vaccine” should be in sneer quotes.
The White House has also struggled to combat growing anti-vaccine sentiment in a polarized political environment.
Vaccine skepticism is increasingly pronounced in the GOP, polls show. A new POLITICO | Morning Consult poll showed that Republican voters were less likely than Democrats or independents to say vaccines are safe for children and only 27 percent of Republicans said the Covid vaccine is “very safe” for adults — while nearly as many, 23 percent, said it’s “very unsafe.”
There is a crisis of trust in this country. Sad.

Congress finally found something Biden doesn’t want to spend money on: pay for our own troops

The White House has vowed to veto legislation from House Republicans that would grant a 30% pay raise to junior enlisted military personnel in the coming year.
The pay increase would ensure that the lowest-earning service members would make at least $15 an hour for a 40-hour workweek.
In a press release addressing the proposed bill, the White House stated, “If the president were presented with H.R. 4365, he would veto it.”

Ouch. That truth hurts.
I wonder what his ratings are like.
I was an avid listener until a year or two after the move to Sirius when he had starting turning into a diva and cutting his hours way down. So that was like 20 years ago.
I can only imagine he’s lost at least 90% of his listeners because he is a completely different person now (and his staff of course do what he says so it’s not worth, say, listening for Robin even though she was great at one time).
I kinda think these assholes deserve the death penalty.
OK maybe not. But they are evil fucks and they need probably more jail time than they are getting. Once they “hack” a casino, there’s pretty much nothing else they can’t do.
I wouldn’t give them the honorable title of “hacker”. They are skilled social engineers who gain access to systems by obtaining credentials from careless admins. I don’t think there are any actual hacking skills involved.
Otherwise I tend to agree. And the assholes who scam seniors with phone offers for Medicare, debt relief, etc. can join the “hackers” on death row.
Yeah, I’m a big fan of the Jargon File where they are careful to distinguish “hacker” from “cracker”. Crackers are these evils fucks. Hackers are the good guys.
But nobody IRL makes that distinction.
Can they be crackers if they’re not white?
Trekkers vs Trekkies, SF vs sci-fi… the ship has sailed.

So where do you move for the season?
There is a crusty old dude in my neighborhood who left for AZ today. I asked him when he was coming back and he said “May, hopefully.”
I’m not sure winter translates across borders.
Your neighbor is a bit early for snowbird season. It normally ends at Easter. AZ gets an entire community of snowbirds each winter near Quartzite.
https://freecampsites.net/#!quartzsite,az
Bah. I miss a proper winter. I think I’m about to get one.
We go down to Venice, Florida. But we don’t leave until after Christmas – we rent a condo for three months. My in-laws own a condo in Venice and they would go down from mid-November to mid-April.
Growing up in Dunedin (Gulf coast west of Tampa), I noticed the snowbirds arriving just after Canadian Thanksgiving, and heading back after Easter — assuming an April Easter.
Aye, caramba!

It’s getting properly savaged in the comments, at least.
Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland 7 days ago
Your comment overlooks the controlling point that conservatives will soon be in no position to accomplish much of anything in America. That is among the consequences of losing at the modern American marketplace of ideas, as various right-wingers — gun nuts, anti-abortion absolutists, superstitious gay-bashers, half-educated immigrant-haters. slack-jawed religious kooks — will continue to learn the hard way.
A culture war’s winners — the liberal-libertarian mainstream, which has shaped our national progress against the wishes and works of right-wingers for so long as any of us has been alive, with more progress to come — call the shots. America’s remaining bigoted, superstitious, belligerently ignorant, obsolete culture war roadkill — Republicans, conservatives, faux libertarians — will continue to comply with the preferences of better Americans.
Clingers will still be entitled to whine about all of this damned progress, reason, modernity, science, education, and inclusiveness as much as they like, of course. They can pray on it a spell, too, if they wish. Until replacement.
I don’t miss the “liberal-libertarians” over at reason.

You know you’re in a less expensive hotel – and probably in an urban area – when the room’s coffee maker cord is tethered to the screw of the wall outlet’s faceplate.
