sheehan in greensboro

Posted on November 19, 2021 by | Leave a comment

I don’t remember the date, but it was when GWB was in office, so early 2000’s.

Downtown Greensboro, NC. In center is Cindy Sheehan. There was some event that day in the plaza, and she was one of the speakers.

I only found out minutes before, so I grabbed some out-of-date Fujifilm disposable camera. Nasty quality. I had a real camera at home but no film in it. A common problem. I hadn’t bought a real digital at that point.

She’s in the center. That’s as close as I wanted to get, but I did pass her beside West Market United Methodist Church. I said, “haaayy Cindy,” and she said “haaayy” back with same intonation.

the status quo corrections

If you post something that contradicts certain orthodoxies, the status quo flies of correction will descend upon you as if you were a drop of delicious honey. 🪰

I’m watching a honey-drippin’ thread right now.

web browsing

Some sites won’t let you pass if you have an ad blocker on.
Sometimes I can switch on “reader view” and keep going with those important stories like this one about pay phones in Japan. 📞 🇯🇵
Reader view is called simplified view on some browsers.
By the way, the pay phone story wasn’t much. It was content that one can predict before reading it. A few interesting usage stats in there, though.

war on christmas holiday nog

Posted on November 18, 2021 by | 2 comments

I was hoping for Silk (brand) soy nog which is excellent. Target didn’t have any so I got this Good&Gather (store brand) oatmilk holiday nog. It’s not very good. I don’t think it could be helped with rum or Southern Comfort.

well done please

Funny how I like things.

A restaurant kitchen sent out my order one time and had the server ask if I thought it was overcooked. “They couldn’t decide whether to remake it or not. We can quickly get you another one, no problem.”

I said, “looks perfect! Yumm.”

Some dishes I don’t mind hard cooked even to the point of being burned.

In a cafeteria serving line, for example, I’ll sometimes ask for the charred corner of some dish.

bizarre pelosi text spam

You never know who is behind these things, but…

Frankly, my dear, IDGAF

  • David, it’s Nancy Pelosi. I’ve had it. At least 10 people involved in the Capitol riots on Jan. 6 were just elected to office. 5 more are now running for Congress. And Republicans only need 5 seats to topple our Dem Majority. I refuse to let those who desecrated our democracy ever set foot in Congress again. I need a massive response – 7,891 gifts before midnight – to protect our Dem Majorities. Will you rush $25 now? bit.ly/3A5Ir stop=remove

so many gone

Posted on November 15, 2021 by | Leave a comment

While I have time off from work to recuperate from something, names from the past keep popping into my head.

I’m running lots of searches. One after the other: dead, dead, dead, whole family dead.

I’m not THAT old.

shameless lies

Posted on November 13, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Such horrible lies.

Some goof Tweeted: “$6.53 for a coffee at Starbucks. I’m done with that shit.”

I pulled up the ‘Bux online and priced a 16 oz coffee in what his profile says is his area. $2.75, $3.00 including tax.

I can get a 20 oz Caramel Brulée Latte to price almost that high but not quite.

Only 20 Tweets down does he admit that it was “some kind of latte.”

Coulda been airport, but I get things all the time in airports and coffee doesn’t top $5, usually less.

If you’re going to cook a narrative, stick with it. I always do. 😀
