It's (almost) officially over...

It's always been the case that when Labor Day is done with, Summer's over, right? Well, when we lived at the Jersey Shore, it wasn't at all. Today began what we called 'locals summer' when all the Bennies had gone back whereverthefuck and we had the beaches - and streets and bars and restaurants all to ourselves. 
Yup - the fat lady ain't sung quite yet...

Do you have gout like I do?
 
Black cherry concentrate does one thing, and only one thing. It eliminates Uric
 Acid in your system - that's all it does. And it works better  than any drug any
 doctor can prescribe. If you have gout, buy a bottle and take two a day, that's all.
 See for yourself if it doesn't work. Trust me - it does. Click the picture.
How's that for a testimonial to it's effectiveness?

You thought the PBR heist was bad? This one's stouter...

A massive haul of 70,000 pints of Guinness was stolen in the dead of night - sending British police on a desperate hunt for the missing stout. The two trailer loads of beer, valued at $155,000, were snatched last Monday from an industrial park in Runcorn, near Liverpool, according to the Cheshire Constabulary.
The Guinness, destined for pubs, was brazenly taken by two drivers who pulled up to the depot and hauled away the trailers carrying 800 barrels of the dark, creamy Irish beer. The stout theft comes just weeks after a heist of 34,000 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon from a Southern California warehouse. Police have not said if the two thefts are related, partially because both beers kinda suck, according to one officer who remained unnamed...

Hunter - The loon who just won't go away...

 
The media's fascination with this nitwit is unbelievable - probably because he himself is unbelievable. How many times is this guy gonna try to reinvent himself? In this weeks version of Hunter Looney Tunes, he’s swapping his crack pipe for crypto.
Hunter Biden is launching his very own meme coin - with a moniker that makes a shocking reference to his notorious laptop - and promising to hand out tokens to investors who lost money betting on President Trump’s digital currency.
The former first son plans to launch $LAPTOP on Wednesday using Coinbase’s blockchain network Base, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing people familiar with the project. The coin will have a total supply of 1 billion tokens.
Biden and his fellow founders are slated to receive nearly a third of the 1 billion coins, according to the Journal. They will have to wait six months before selling any of their allotment, which will become fully available over two years.
This is somethink akin to selling bags of air. There's absolutely no substance in the so-called 'currency', but he'll probablly figure out a way to scam a few mill for himself. Truly shamefull...

Cracking down on welfare tattoos. Yup - you read that right...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that the Sunshine State is moving to become the first in the nation to block taxpayer-funded Temporary Cash Assistance from being spent directly on tattoos, vaping products, pornography, video games, entertainment subscriptions, psychic readings, and other non-essential purchases. The policy is designed to put clear guardrails around cash welfare benefits and keep the focus on helping needy families cover real necessities. The state says the changes will not reduce a family’s eligibility or benefit amount.
Temporary Cash Assistance, often called TCA, is Florida’s cash-benefit program under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, known as TANF. It is issued through an Electronic Benefit Transfer card, or EBT card, and is intended to help eligible families meet basic needs such as food, clothing, housing, utilities, household items, and personal care. In plain English: taxpayers are meant to be helping families keep the lights on, put food on the table, and provide for children - not bankroll luxuries and entertainment.
Under Florida’s amended plan, TCA benefits will be barred from directly purchasing tobacco, nicotine, and vape products; drugs and intoxicants; pornography; video games; entertainment tickets; theme-park admission; entertainment subscriptions; tattoos; spa services; tanning; and psychic or fortune-telling services.

News from the home front: Here...

The Villages, the sprawling 'retirement community' in Central Florida where I live has now seen a decrease in home prices for the fourth consecutive year, following a sharp peak during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognized as the largest master-planned community in the U.S., The Villages offers an 'active lifestyle' (or you can just chill like I do) to its more than 150,000 residents. With over 50 golf courses, more than 100 recreation centers, and more social clubs and bars than you can think of, The Villages provides the dream retirement for some Americans. And once again, that dream just got a little more affordable.
As of August 2026, the median listing price for a home in The Villages is $377,784, a nearly 2% decrease from the median home price of $385,316 in August 2025, according to Realtor.com® listing data. The median listing price of a home in The Villages peaked in 2022 at $436,850, when it jumped nearly $100,000 from 2021’s median listing price of $338,084.
Now that it's getting back to reeasonable prices again, ya really might wanna come check it out. It's the kinda place where, if ya wanna disappear in a crowd, it's perfect. Just near me, there are six supermarkets, three big box stores and god knows how many doctors and dentists all within a couple miles of my house. 
Don't get me wrong - I have no skin in the game. I'm just hipping you to a possible way out if you're sick of being the proud owner of a snow shovel...

What should we rename next?

One of things that I really do like about DJT is ability to troll people for no good reason.  New Mexico Dimocrat elected officials quickly denounced a Sunday post on Truth Social by President Donald Trump that proposed, visually, changing New Mexico’s name to New America. Trump’s post followed a satirical post that inaccurately claimed he had signed an executive order to that effect, which the fact-checking site Snopes quickly debunked.
The satirical post followed Trump’s renaming, by executive order, Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico to Lake America and the Gulf of America, respectively. While Trump has not signed an executive order renaming New Mexico, he did post a map that showed the word “Mexico” crossed out in New Mexico’s name and replaced by America in his Truth Social post, which the official White House X account reposted.
Trump, subsequently, wrote on Truth Social: “Many people suggested changing the name of New Mexico, one of the great vote cheating states of all time, to NEW AMERICA. So much more prestigious and beautiful for the people of that potentially incredible State. Wow, I Love It!!!” New Mexico Dimocrat officials did not share the sentiment - obviously. 
I have a friend who lives in Santa Fe - a tried and true TDS victim and screaming Lib. His brain probably exploded hearing this.

The White House announced Friday that the U.S. government just bought 55% of a Venezuelan energy company with exclusive rights to a huge oil field there. 
President Trump insisted that we don't own Venezuela now. We just have controlling interest and a really aggressive Homeowners Association.

Florida is proving that not every coastline, wetland, forest, spring, farm, or wildlife habitat should be sacrificed for massive AI data centers. From the Everglades and Florida Keys to the Gulf Coast, Atlantic beaches, inland springs, pine forests, wetlands, and freshwater lakes, Florida’s natural landscapes are part of what makes the Sunshine State so special. 
People aren’t against technology - they just don’t want endless industrial expansion replacing wetlands, forests, wildlife habitat, farmland, open space, and the communities that generations of Floridians have worked hard to preserve.
Once natural land disappears, it rarely comes back. Progress matters. But so do clean springs, healthy wetlands, wildlife, beautiful beaches, working farms, clean water, and the coastal communities that make Florida unique.

It was nine years ago when Irma beat the fuck outta the Virgin Islands, and this is what the projected path looked like on todays date. It did follow that path almost exactly, but by the time it reached here where I am, the winds had diminished to the point where they weren't nearly as much of a threat as they had been. If I remember correctly, I think we got about four inches of rain in one day from her.

At least 11 climbers are swept away to their death in avalanche as video shows wall of snow and ice crashing down mountain in Russia.

Her defining moment...

“I can never get a zipper to close. Maybe that stands for something, 
what do you think?”
In Charles Vidor‘s sexy, sultry film noir classic GILDA, the incendiary Rita Hayworth stars in the title role – in what is, without question, her signature cinematic legacy.
Just arrived in Argentina, small-time crooked gambler Johnny Farrell is saved from a gunman by sinister Ballin Mundson, who later makes Johnny his right-hand man. But their friendship based on mutual lack of scruples is strained when Mundson returns from a trip with a wife: the supremely desirable Gilda, whom Johnny once knew and learned to hate. 
The relationship of Johnny and Gilda, a battlefield of warring emotions, becomes even more bizarre after Mundson disappear. Starring Rita Hayworth, Glenn Ford, and George Macready.
