indecision in the walmart

I spent a fair amount of time at Walmart agonizing over which brush I liked better. The Revlon was $4.77, the Conair $3.88. I got the Conair. It was a tough decision.

those healthy-eating word salads

I smile when some blank-profile keyboard warrior “word salads” an issue to lend credibility and appear to be intellectual.

It adds to the fun of sifting through the 5h1t. I’ve been a student of propaganda most of my life. I like it.

blocked again on facebook

I’m in Facebook jail again!

For the second time in a week, I’m blocked from my account. FB doesn’t like what I post, and all I post is garbage. Freakin’ kindergarten. The prohibited words seem to be “Russia” (last week) and “sodomy” (today).

I wish they’d save me the trouble and just delete my account. It would improve my life.

I’m liking MeWe and Mastodon more all the time.

nutcasin’

It’s disappointing to see a friend with good politics dive off the nutcasin’ deep end. Maybe it happens to me, too, a little bit, sometimes. 🏊

It’s the highly exclusive Vatican Margarita.

We took another pic on the same steps just today. Just forty years later.

10 Journalism Brands Where You Find Real Facts Rather Than Alternative Facts

This article is completely ridiculous. Imagine using your own mind rather than seeking out bogus curated lists.

“What’s your advice and do you have an opinion on where to find some form of truth in our media today?”

multiple tomato summers

As tomato sandwich season starts to arrive, I miss “tomato woman” who used to live near me. She had a self-service table in her front yard with sign, scale, cash box, and bags. $1/pound (.45kg). What a steal.
 
I often used the self-service, though it was better when she was home, as she would toss in lots of extra tomatoes and fresh jalapeños making the price/pound even lower.
 
She was a Spanish speaker, too, so I got free practice when she was home.
 
After several summers of good eatin’ and fun shooting the breeze with her, the house was empty one day. I’m hoping it was for reasons she/they wanted. I ate SO MANY of those juicy tomatoes, plus a lot of white bread and mayo.

just hide TF out

Of the places I’ve been, these would be best for laying low and mental repair, i.e. just hiding TF out:

— Guadalajara, Mexico
— Bologna, Italy
— Oz Campground, Unadilla, Georgia, USA
