Waitress? I'll have what he's having. And a round for him.

If a tree falls on your truck at 1am and you're around to hear it ... something.. boy am I tired. vanishing momentarily.

Swipe keyboards are pretty cool ... sometimes.

Smells like ditch weed in here. Ugh.

Don't they teach putting a rolled-up towel at the door anymore?

Okay, caught up. I'd thank Vic and JJ but looks like they left. Thanks, NDH.

I'd forgotten the cyberwar in the excitement of my own morning confrontation with nature.

Cyberwar map looks like old Missile Command arcade game. (Was that the arcade name or the PC bootleg name?) Terrifying in concept. Were we prepared? Of course not.

And the elected properly reflect the will of the majority. Weak will.

How did the greatest nation in the world become such a pathetic victim? I know, I know, but geez!

Okay, small dent above the window on the rear driver's side, and a bigger dent in the door that can probably be popped out. (That's the dog's door, so very important that it still opens okay!) As penalty for parking my truck under a known hazard, I'll take it and say, I got off really easy for a fool.

Stringer, Ricardo - I believe in happenstance, mainly, and seeming (but not really) randomness. Luck is post-happenstance posturing, but I still count my blessings. And I already have a lottery ticket.

It's family week. Relatives coming to my mom's from all over, many from Alaska, to celebrate mom's baby brother Ed's birthday. That's Ed whose "War Stories I have quoted here. That's where we'll be.

But l'll be keeping an edge on y'all.

Y'all recall, in early June, half an oak tree fell, barely missing van, truck, power line, and large window?

Last night, just a light rain, but wet enough to weigh down the rotten other half of the tree. Once again, the tree fell and wrapped around the truck, yet no damages. Again.

Luckier than I deserve twice! Murphy must've been busy or asleep. Photo as soon as I can get one posted from this old cell.

Morning, Glories! Hope you're doing okay this weekend.

cyber attack reminds me of ... missile command?

A couple of quality rants this morning got me wondering, when was Capt Hate last heard from?

People come and go so subtly here, said Alice.

Doc Brown of 1964: Okay then, future boy, what's the news in 2014?

Future Boy: Cuban Intelligence Aggressively Recruiting Leftist American Academics As Spies

Doc Brown: ???

Actually slept past sunup, but didn't completely miss the morning thread! But the pesks are annoyed; past feeding time.

Morning, Glories.

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME TWICE. Where's the REAL ONT tonight? C'mon, folks, clue me in. Wha's th' password? Wha's th' sicrit you-are-ell?

"Frankly despite all the promises made I'm surprised the Chinese let it survive even this long."

You & me both! I thought the hammer (and sickle) would fall immediately.

So, after making a 100-year contract with China, which government was later squeezed down into Taiwan, why did Britain "return" Hong Kong to an entirely different government?

a) So Carter could give away the Panama Canal.
b) BUUUSSSHHhh!
c) Only Nixon could throw our allies under the bus.
d) Piano player kicked old Buddha's Gong.
e) Hanging's too good for those who betray their trust as elected officials.

Good evening.
