The steady spattering of a mild rain on the oak tree is mesmerizing white noise. Interrupted by rumbly thunder. (As differentiated from crackling thunder, that especially sends doggy over to my side for reassuring pets.)

We needed more rain. The mosquitoes weren't thick enough already.

Last year, if we hadn't had the well, the cattle would have been in a bad way. Now, the ponds are full. Some of the lakes are closed to recreation, they're so full. The rivers are rushing.

It's just remotely possible the drought is relieved.

Okay, weird. Not only did the Ramirez cartoon give me a page not found, the Bette Davis picture link is a blank page. I've even rebooted just to see if it helped and it didn't.

Good thing text is still the best entertainment value, if that's all I can get.

Been thundering all morning. Rain has finally started.

Okay, read the VNN and countdown ("malodorous militants," heh) and caught comments up to my first. Plus, coffee. That's real progress, right there.

"You can NOT micromanage military action..."

But, this can't be right, Vic! Preznit O'blamer is real good at killing people. He said so himself!

Legal rights for chimps: Let them vote. Couldn't be worse than the last two Presidential elections, if they just punched choices randomly.

Ramirez link was NG for me.

Thunder-rumbly mornings make my puppy unhappy.

Morning, Glories.

Virtual presence hereby established, I go to read comments. No, wait, first I go to turn on the coffee.

I... this... that... she... uhhhhhh.... that photo!!

Pedro might not appreciate it, but if it had to happen, at least we got this quote:

“Eventually she bit Pedro’s acorns clean off right there in the front yard,” a witness said. “Pedro hightailed it screeching like a wild Indian and when I tried to subdue Audrey, she knocked me out with an old tricycle.”

Pure po'try, right thar.

Expat47: "You've either been watching way too much S/F or you've found a stash of funny weed somewhere."

It's true, I often do feel as if I'm a visitor from another dimension.

But it's merely time-travel.

>> Before Weird Universe hears from the “inactivists”...

I think you mean "intactivists."

Had at least three toys with "dangerous" heating elements: Thingmaker, Vac-u-form, and a cotton-candy maker. Played with them for hours, unsupervised, never got burned. Don't need to add that you couldn't have any of those today.

Cotton-candy maker was cool. Came with colored sugars and paper cones to pick up the spun sugar. Then my older brother, "destroyer of things," decided to try using Jell-o instead of sugar. End of toy.

Up late, thumbing through comments, trying to shrug off this heaviness I seem to be under. Also, trying to parse English out of the headline "I Feel Like Will Be A Standard Future After All The LAsu"

Oh, hey! There's still some leftover pizza! That'll help!

Morning, Glories.

Over at Legal Insurrection, they post bumper-sticker photos all the time, and always block out the plate number. If the Perfesser thinks it's a good idea, it probably is.

Gateway Pundit headline:

Islamic Cleric: Masturbation Will Result In Pregnant Hands

And you thought you could "just do it 'til I need glasses"? No such thing as a "little bit pregnant" hand.

Oh, wait, pregnant hands in the afterlife. Okay, then, that clears it all up.

Don't mind me. I'm just scraping off a wool sock.

Sheep Demand "Safe" Spaces

We don't really mind baaad language (Good one, CX).

And we don't really mind all the jokes (IYKWIMAITTYD).

But it just drives us maaaaad to be constantly compared to those stupid Democrat voters!

PETA, proving once again the regressives get more insane daily.

"...The allegation was that bad language was used by an employee on the property in front of the sheep, and that they could have been offended by the use of bad language...."

Gustav: "Have you tried Corona in the morning?"

On cornflakes!

Cold leftover pizza for breakfast
We all can agree is quite fine
Problem is pizza does not go with coffee
and it's 'way too early for wine.

Vic: Clooney/Disney AGW scam movie Tomorrowland bombed over the past long weekend.

Trailer made it look interesting. Looked sort-of like a rip-off of Scott McCloud's Zot! comic, a wonderfully fun story. Then I started reading reviews about the movie's agenda. Oh, well.

Vic: ...expanding its definition of "navigable waters"...

Kid, we heard you had a toy boat in the bathtub with you. Don't let that bathwater out; it's federally protected.

DAY 931

"Buck up, kid! The first thousand days are the hardest!"

(Actual quote was "the first hundred years," said to my sister-in-law by Great Aunt Anna... who made it to 99.)

Morning, Glories!
