“open in Chrome”

Oh, grow up. I’m just trying to order Chinese takeout, not steer the Space Shuttle.

proton security

Proton Technologies (Protonmail, VPN, etc) “secure communications tools” based in Switzerland, keeps blogging about their digital rights advocacy.

“Ensuring people can access accurate information is essential for democracy.”

This, of course is fine, and many times can be a good thing, but they keep lending support to the USA’s favorites.

Going into the political like that has reduced my desire to use the products.

buick

Wouldn’t you really rather drive a Buick?
A Buick
A brand new Buick.

Wouldn’t you really rather drive a Buick?
This year.

A radio ad for Galloway Buick that I remember from when I was a child. It played on my parents’ favorite station, WBIG 1470 AM

whitney

Strange things that have happened during my life.

The first place I ever heard of Whitney Houston was while dancing in an outdoor club in Macedonia (then Yugoslavia) near Albania. lol

I asked somebody, “who is that?”

They said, “Weetnie.” 😁

supply panic at the dollar general

Empty shelves proof of complete system collapse at the Dollar General.

Actually, not really. These were the only shelves in the entire store that weren’t fully stocked. The rest of the store was bursting with things to buy.

I’m posting this because someone I know posted an empty section of Target one time claiming severe supply shortages. All Target was doing was swapping out a section of seasonal for the next holiday.

Why not distort when possible. 😁

enchiladas suizas

It was a helluva lunch today.

Enchiladas suizas with Oaxaca cheese all over.

Habanero Grill. Henderson, North Carolina.

cinnamon stick

Xavier and Sxip Shirey.

In this song, Xavier is singing about being in trouble for sucking on a cinnamon stick.

You don’t know the trouble he’s in.

snickers

I bought a Snickers at Walmart. I checked it before purchase to make sure it had the dick vein.  😁

home covid china test

I gave myself a home covid test today “for reasons.” Fortunately, it came out negative.

I didn’t even have to look to know the answer, but I decided to check the box for location of manufacture.

All the test kits from my employer, plus the ones from the feds, plus every mask I’ve worn through this whole thing, all China.

China should be telling the USA, “if y’all can’t make your own shit, you ought to stop complaining about every little GD thing. 😁

breakfast with the pope

Three years ago this week, hanging out in the Pope’s back yard in the Pinecone Courtyard, lol. Cortile della Pigna.

Breakfast in the courtyard bistro was an extra charge and reservation only, but it wasn’t that much and included admission to the Vatican Museums. We call that morning “breakfast with the Pope” though he wasn’t there.
