Another day, another sick kid. The pediatrician had to see me to write the prescription, and I think he felt a little bit ashamed. Enough that I got him to give me dosage information for the 4th kid if he gets it. God knows, I’ll have enough liquid amoxicillan to dose him up, too. I was thinking how 20 years ago, having a different kid sick 3 days out of 4 would have destroyed my time off. Now, I just move a couple of meetings.

Look, dude, you can’t use the Math and English building for your unapproved lab experiments. I remember being about 20 and talking to my friend’s dad who was a research chemist for one of the big oil companies. He had a great story about using his graduate lab to synthesize barbiturates. So the problem here is not using a laboratory designated for chemical reactions.
Crazy local news. Apparently, a crazy roommate killed two grad students at USF. I’m not sure he was known to the FBI, but he was definitely known to local authorities.
I hope the cops beat both of these idiots black and blue for having to become involved.
I see Florida is rushing to the front of the redistricting issue. I’m quite satisfied being represented by a Congress-thot, don’t redistrict me, bro.
We’ll stick to alt-country that I still think is less than a decade old.
But James revealed City Hall chiefs shot it down, instead wanting to focus on converting to solar lamps that will cost up to $6,000 each.
Cheaper and more efficient renewables, FTW!
Definitely no grift here!
Imagine how many Caribbean vacations you can skim off the top of thousands of new lampposts!
Pack your bags, honey!
I feel this way about the mile marker signs on interstates every .1 mile. There is no way there isn’t loads of graft filling pockets with that fucking scheme.
I can think of a better use for those new lampposts.
9 more mileposts (or decimileposts) to replace when they inevitably get damaged.
I was hoping the guy had electrified the cover to fry the thieves.
No such luck. 😢
Covers that explode when you try to grind in them?
Goldfish crackers?
She wanted to kill him with carbs.
“The

So much for that betrothal.
Dear TPTB,
I just submitted an article for review. Please be gentle.
STEVE SMITH TAKE REQUEST INTO CONSIDERATION.
Beat me to it.
BTW, I have an article with a troublesome picture. It’s a screen print of a chart that looks like absolutely fuzzy poo, no matter how much I reduce the resolution (It started at over 1400 pixels wide).
Do you have any advice? I might could email you the picture to experiment with.
LMK if you need help. I’m trying to do better about checking my Glibs email.
The battle to determine who gets to claim me is ongoing.
Two cats batting you around?
Somebody (Honeywell?) advertises brilliant! high coverage! solar yard lights for about eight bucks on my teevee. LA could probably get a volume discount.
Made in China with an expected life of approximately one year.
It’s a perfect perpetual graft.
One year and you are hungry for light again?
“I’m quite satisfied being represented by a Congress-thot”
Are you some kind of Luna-tic?
Oh, c’mon. This is fun. Now you have to figure out who Brett thinks is a thot.

I am going with Katherine “Kat” Cammack.
I sure hope he’s not referring to Wasserman Schultz.
Fredericka Wilson.
She has a couple chins.
I’m in.
“Are you some kind of Luna-tic?”
[golf clap]
Why now?
Eye-popping price tag for detour around Cesar Chavez gravesite adds to California high-speed rail humiliation
Oh JFC why?
LOL
Please Gavin, campaign on California’s can-do spirit!
Right!
That’s almost too perfect. You’d think they could trim a little bit off the 187 acre site.
187 acres makes for a decent housing development.
I’m surprised they’re not routing the HSR directly *over* his grave given his recent fall from grace.
Can’t just remove the remains and rebury them elsewhere like we used to do with graveyards that were inconvenient?
As with everything, this is about rubbing everyone’s nose in it.
He was a master of the universe!

Trump hates California
Drivers in California are paying the most in the nation at $6.01 per gallon on average, according to data from AAA. Prices in the Golden State are at the highest level since October 2023, the data shows.
Diesel, meanwhile, cost about $7.50 per gallon on average in California on Thursday, a 47% increasse since the war broke out on Feb. 28. Diesel is essential for the economy because the fuel is used by trucks and trains to deliver all the goods that consumers buy.
Gasoline prices nationwide surged 27 cents over the past week as oil prices spiked. Drivers paid $4.30 per gallon on average across the U.S. Thursday, compared to $4.03 a week ago.
California should definitely impose a windfall profits tax.
Doesn’t everybody hate California?
Somalis love it.
Randy Newman?

I couldn’t even stand it for a whole year before leaving.

Wait, what?!?
Filming location had better be BC.
All Goa’uld planets are the PNW, it is known. They like the mild climate and pine trees.
Not AD?
I remember when X-Files visited Buffalo in Vancouver, Binghamton in Vancouver, etc. etc.
To be fair, who wants to visit Buffalo or Binghamton?
Heh. I miss Buffalo in some ways (lived there for 8 years). There is a lot to like.
Binghamton is a toilet, though.
Remember what they did to Lord of the Rings and temper your enthusiasm.
I couldn’t even watch the credits on that one. I didnt want to give them the viewer number.
I’m impressed there’s an entire wiki for people obsessed with Stargate.
They are legion.
I watched the whole thing straight when I was out of work a couple years ago and discovered that I had Comet. Forgot most of it.
Smoke the dope you want on your own property but bring that stench into public areas and off your property, and you deserve to enjoy prison life.
Also death penalty for speakerphone use in restaurant and playing screech “artists” on your PA system.
I see you are in Oregone
I can smell Portland about ten miles west of it on 30.
It’s disgusting.
East starting around the exit for Sandy.
This x that jokey pot numeral I am not going to repeat.
I am for doing it at home and have done so many times, if not in many years.
“Mainstreaming” it means we have to smell that shit everywhere now. Yay?
Yep.
Never have, never will.
Ah yes, Jail people for offending ones purely subjective preferences, very libertarian. This always ends up well.
You know what I love about flying? Not a got-dammed thing. As we were getting to the airport, our first flight delay was announced. It has since been delayed 2 more times. The connecting flight is on schedule, so that has already been missed. Great, at least I have time for a sammich. Cashier “It’s a 2.8% surcharge for credit card payments” Me “That’s ok, I’ll pay cash.” Cashier “We don’t accept cash.” Fuck me
Sue them.
For all debts public and private.
Or write them a check.
The credit charge has really ramped up. The stupid attacks on credit processors is t going to make it any better.
Traveling blows in general. I dunno how some people enjoy it.
Haven’t been on a plane in over a decade. I’d like to sit on a warm Atlantic coast beach but it’s too expensive.
A friend of mine travels for some big pharmacy chain for years. She loved it. But she’s single and always seemed to find fun things to do on her work trips. I drive for work, 150-800 miles one way. It gets kinda old.
That depends on your definition of traveling. I love traveling with the wife. Even getting to and fro is a good time. We plan all flights such that we can go to the Delta lounge during any layovers. My wife travels a bunch for work, and she grew up traveling back and forth between the US and Brazil, so she knows all the tricks.
Everyone in the house is sick. Again.
We had the last iteration of the vid, three-four weeks coughing like crazy, a week off and now a spring cold back to coughing.
The canola is bolting and blooming with staggered fields again so my wife will likely have blisters on her eyes again and be huddling around the air purifier for the next six weeks. Hey farmers, quip planting that poison.
STEVE SMITH FAVORITE OIL IS CANOLA, BUT HIM LIKE ORIGINAL NAME.
I’m shocked that SS likes its lubricating function at all.

I have been carrying something nasty for more than a month.
I am legit “immunocompromised” these days but it finally seems to be fading away just in time for another round of monthly medical appointments. Dentist skipped town for my appointment so at least I can put that one off.
I’ve either never had the ‘VID; when I got it, it wasn’t ‘big’ enough to notice; or I’ve had it several times and have never noticed, which is my pet theory. I was forcefully jabbed in Korea, and I thought about figuring out how to write UNDER DURESS on whatever I signed for the jab and on masks, etc, but I figured that wouldn’t be too wise.
I *did* get around their forced quarantines, tho. They gave each us a place to stay and they’d kinda track us. Well. I just left my phone at my assigned domicile and went out without it. *taps noggin* Stupid fucks.
Even by 2020 we may have been at a point where Asians simply couldn’t imagine leaving home without a phone.
69th. woohoo.
