* waves to Sherry *
Figured you were okay, but glad to hear it from you.
Would've replied sooner, but had to go back to get the Vic News & Views, and ended up scanning most of the morning thread. I'm running behind like this most of the time now. Start late, stay behind, quit early.
Greetings, people of the gray boxes!
Hope our Sooner Moron friends are safe & sound
I live well north of Tulsa. We didn't even have much wind, just some gentle Spring rain. The lately-absent Sherry McEvil lives well south of where the twister hit, so I presume she's okay. As is my Mom, though I haven't called her yet this morning. Daughter was on the road helping a friend move from Ark to Okla, but apparently dodged between the storm cells.
Yes, Tornado season is upon us. Expected, with the wild weather lately.
As I said on the ONT, March came in like a lamb... and is going out like a T Rex.
Tornado season has begun - one hit down in Tulsa today. Square mile clobbered, nine hurt, one critically. March came in like a lamb and is going out like a T Rex.
Past Midnight Central Saving Time, but if we count now as still part of yesterday, this is my first comment on the blog today. Several reasons, none that matter. Rough and odd days lately.
Maybe I'll just make it my first and last. Kinda weird to just lurk, but, well, a little lurking is better than no Moron Horde at all.

night good community *

Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
If my last comment is still the last... time for me to check out.
Czeching out.

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
Reading upthread, found YouTube of Temptations My Girl, listening to that now. Man, my youth was full of good music. Come to think of it, so is my old age.
BTW, was there anything in the first 300 messages worth going back for? I mean, worth plowing through all of that tonight?
Home at last! Home at last! Great God Almighty I'm home at last! Be it ever so humble!
BeckoningChasm: ...things are better chest-wise. I'll do better in future.
Some times it's good to get things off your chest. Have a heart-to-heart with friends. Keeps the blood flowing.

Taiwan's Cold War legacy
On Vulcan we have a saying, "Only Nixon could sell out China."
We also have a saying, "Only the limp-wristed appeaser SCOAMF could kiss up to Cuba."
And, "The needs of the media outweigh the needs of the readers."
We laugh at these sayings. Stupid earthers.

Hi, y'all.
Before I read the post or try to peruse the comments, I bring Commenter Content you might have missed.

Okay, now to see what that HUGE post by Maet has to say (did like the Tolkien pic) and peruse the commentariat. Or maybe just take a walk and meditate upon the complexities of the universe.
OregonMuse: ...Abram had a conversation with the Almighty on this very subject back in Genesis. And he got it down to 10 guys. For 10 righteous men, the fire and brimstone would be held back.
Hey, that does ring a bell, thanks for mentioning it.
Now there's the question of, "how righteous?" Uh-ohhh... (Checks fire extinguishers.)
Swingline: I'm really starting to buy into the idea that God has it in for us as a nation.
et several subsequent comments...
I've never really understood why the Almighty exercises Collective Judgment on a nation. We may not be perfect, but we didn't all boo him like those at the Dem convention. We don't all support demanding nuns pay for abortions. What's the cutoff for being included in group damnation? 50%? 75%? 98%?
Will some of us at least get warning to get out of Gomorrah before the fireballs start hurtling down?
If your mid-morning open ragpicker thread lasts more than two hours, see your Blog Owner.
...no matter what Rush says or intended, his constant talking up of Trump...
Funny. Haven't been hearing much of Rush, but last night I watched the latest Froglegs video from Joe Dan Gorman (now all pro-Trump, all the time) and he derided Rush for being anti-Trump, pro-Cruz.
And here I thought Rush was all-in for that bold conservative Rubio.
Ignoramus: ...It's a wonder Obama could deliver this with a straight face.
That's not a straight face. Never has been.
Vashta Nerada: ...The hard part is holding it up while bolting it to the drain pipe...
Reminds me of the time back in '76 several of us young idiots were replacing a ceiling - several guys holding up the 4'x8' sheet while one did the screws. The Wise Old Carpenter dude walks in, looks at us, quickly makes a "T" out of two 2x4s, and replaces all the guys holding up the sheet.
Dehr. Learned a lot from Wise Old Carpenter dude.
Just breezed through the comments.
From what I gather, using your garbage disposal daily to get rid of hobo waste may cause problems.
Did I get that right?
Well, of course after breezing through the morning thread and then the headline thread, I finally make a comment... and get willowed. Of course.
Hello, fresh thread.
That "ragpicker" is really Ace's disguise when hobo-hunting, right?
