Hummmm. Again the mailman has not found me for my free money. Wonder if my grandchildren will get a discount on their future debit?

I'll confess to not having happy thoughts when contemplating the grandkids predicament & what's to come if not abated. Then I remember how strong they are and it's Ok again.

The sun will shine for a few billion more years. With or without humans. Nothing like BOB saying hello.

31 years ago I bought a microwave and it is still running. It has been around the world and is still cooking. Not so pretty but works.

It is being retired to the shop to keep my snacks and drinks warm and will be replaced with one that probably will only last a few years.

They don’t make them like they used to.

More candles

I have added more than a few since this was taken. Indeed every day is a gift and I am happy to still be able to blow em all out. Now if I could just find where I put that hat.

Happy Birthday!

My wife put an M-80 on mine and left the room saying, "Just testing."

24 Year Leech Rep. Ron Kind is Retiring

Unexpected, but I'll take it.

There is already a fairly competent campaign (this time) being run by an R and this leech calling it quits can't hurt. He always got to vote yea on the feelzy good stuff, but he was Mistress Pelosi's little water boy for whatever she needed when she cracked her whip. (Maybe she changed the 'safe' word on him.)

The shape of his district that favors leftists just a slight amount is an issue, but we'll see. (Funny how it's the Dems here that are always screeching about Gerrymandering and drawing "fair maps." The D's might've created some real race-to-the-bottom optics in the past year though, and the district elected Walker 3 times and Trump twice. Kind had a district that was an "octopus" covering large swaths of agri and small biz and really middle-class folks that wanted to be left alone EXCEPT FOR the tips of the arms of that octopus that all touched larger wannabe-Seattle cities, with a UW campus sited in them. I just KNEW that once that f'n Starbucks came across the river that was it...

He is a perfect example of a "survivor" who brought nothing of substance.
May he walk out onto the ice, a burden to the village no more.

Better than Jimmy Stewart lashing together pieces of an airplane to fly out of the desert?

Not "better" - claiming that my idea is "better" is just arrogant and presumptive.
My idea is just, 'different'

What, like downing a bottle of whiskey, putting on your cowboy suit/ holster and recording yourself shooting glass bottles?
