It happened because she didn't have any ducks on her dashboard...

 Sadly, Blogster is not uploading photos this afternoon. 

I'll give what I had but that's it for today...

A drunk Florida woman cried to police when she was arrested for crashing into a parked car, punching the owner and then complained about her treatment because she thought they “were all friends.” Elizabeth Boucher is suspected of driving under the influence, resulting in a crash in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Aug. 30, according to the Daytona Police. “Please don’t take me to jail over this,” Boucher cried. “I thought we were all friends.”

The inebriated 24-year-old was captured driving her Ford Bronco through a roundabout before plowing into the victim’s parked Honda outside her home, according to home security footage released by police. 

Police did not find any little rubber duckies in or around her vehicle...

Hats off for this long and lean HillBetty...

No love lost here...

Alex Van Halen has some thoughts about former bandmate Sammy Hagar. 

During an interview with Brazilian music journalist Marcelo Vieira published earlier this month, Alex ripped into Hagar when asked about his 2011 memoir, “Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock.”

“I don’t know what he wrote, and I don’t wanna know,” he said, according to a translation from the original Portuguese interview published by Roadie Crew. “In my opinion, Sammy Hagar is a complete idiot.” Hagar has since responded to the insult, writing in an Instagram comment over the weekend, “This comment and post is so unnecessary at this time in our lives, but I guess the truth hurts sometimes. Peace already.”

While Sammy Hagar was fronting Van Halen, the band made over 16 million certified records in the U.S. alone through four consecutive number-one studio albums. 

During the Sammy Hagar era (1985–1996), Van Halen did not release an exact total revenue figure for their massive operation, but the band generated hundreds of millions of dollars in gross revenue from album sales, sold-out arena tours, and merchandise.

I guess that proves the old adage once and for all - money can't buy you love.

Need a side hustle?? How about hustling for a living?

I remember vaguely hearing about this place back in the 80s sometime, and had no idea they were still in business. I guess there's no lack of horndogs out there after all. Three of America’s most notorious pleasure palaces are officially up for grabs. A legendary trio of licensed Nevada brothels once ruled by the late pimp-turned politician Dennis Hof has hit the market - for an eye-popping $33.9 million asking price.

Dubbed the Bunny Ranch Legacy Portfolio, the package deal, being sold by Hof’s estate, bundles together three infamous cathouses - alongside a sprawling footprint of desert real estate, located not far from Nevada’s capital, Carson City. Billed as a “nationally recognized Nevada enterprise,” the deal includes the world-famous Moonlite Bunny Ranch, as well as Sagebrush Ranch and Love Ranch, along with residential property, highway-frontage land, warehouses, storage facilities, and development parcels.

All told, the portfolio encompasses 11 individual real estate parcels - totaling 49.79 acres and more than 23,500 square feet of buildings, according to the listing. The deal also throws in furniture, fixtures, equipment, company-owned vehicles, inventory and business support assets - plus the recognizable trade names, marketing materials, websites, branding and other intellectual property, “subject to seller exclusions,” which were not immediately made clear.

The sellers say they’re even willing to stick around and show the new prospective owners the ropes - offering up to a year of transition and training support under terms to be negotiated.

Don't forget about that safety...

THIS is the moment a bungling lawyer tries to shoot his ex-wife in a restaurant but forgets to take the safety off. CCTV footage shows Matthew Exton storm into the Ohio eatery and aim a gun at his ex before a heroic waiter tackles him from behind.

The restaurant suddenly erupts as patrons and staff dive on the would-be killer. 

Exton, who had law offices in Sylvania and Traverse City, had his licence suspended in May 2025 following the attempted killing.

He claimed that he did not intend to pull the trigger, and instead pointed the gun at his ex-wife in an attempt to pressure her into speeding up the sale of their former home. 

Exton, 43, was convicted of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault and multiple firearm charges and will be sentenced on September 21.

Is perspective the bitch everybody thinks it is?

Of course perspective's a bitch, 

but where would we be without it...  

This may well be as classic an example as I need to make my point. Originally published on April 25, 1960, it should come as no surprise that one of Schulz's most memorable strips is from the era which has often been credited as his creative peak. But think about it just for a minute. That date was over 65 years ago, but in our minds it seems like just yesterday, doesn't it?

At the time, Peanuts was evolving from a clever gag strip into a sincere portrait of what it's like to grow up. Personally, this was the decade that produced many of my favorite strips ever published. Even today, this era of Peanuts continues to tower over competition.

Although Lucy is typically remembered for her bossiness and blunt advice, this strip offers a rare glimpse at her softer side. It’s one of those brief moments that proved Schulz understood the many layers of childhood, because even if a kid might seem bossy to their peers, there's a good chance they still love dogs - if nothing else - deep down,  whether they refuse to acknowledge it in public or not.

We just talked about something similar. The California grape growers are bitching about lack of demand so their grapes are dying on the vine. Now the French growers are bitching about low yield whilst that same lack of demand effects them as well.

French vineyards hit by severe drought and heatwaves are expected to report a 30-year low in wine production after the country’s hottest ever recorded summer, according to the agriculture ministry. Initial estimates suggest winemakers will produce just under 34m hectolitres (by the way, that translates roughly in to 9 billion gallons, so they may wanna check the accuracy of that number) from this year’s harvest: a drop of 6% on last year, and 17% less than ‌the 2021-2025 average.

No hurricane has formed in the Atlantic basin so far this year despite a string of tropical storms battering parts of the US and monster systems roaring across the Pacific.

And with the climatological peak of hurricane season arriving on September 10, forecasters are now watching to see whether the extraordinary lull can last long enough to enter the history books.

Caroline bought me that single malt for our stay up 

at the cottage up in Donegal. She told me she bought it at Tesco for 24 pounds - around $ 33.00. I've seen it online for as much as $ 70.00 here in the US.

I gotta tell ya - that was just about the smoothest drinking whiskey I've ever experienced, and trust me when I tell you I've had my share. When we went back to Belfast we went back to the Tesco and couldn't find it. I had planned to bring a couple bottles home with me, but couldn't find it at the duty free, either. If ya ever do come across it, let me know what you think of it. I think you won't be disappointed...

Winding down time...

 
At the Jersey Shore - and all along the East Coast - the beaches are much less crowded than they were before Labor Day. It's time for the local to play - on uncrowded beaches with no need for a friggin' beach badge (which should be illegal) and empty stools at the local bars. The menu prices come down and tables are available at all the good restaurants, and the summer traffic is no where to be seen...

It's Scat AI time...

How can you tell if somebody has too much free time?

You see guy like him doing stupid shit like this for no reason, that's how. 

A viral video showed a man repeatedly causing a Tesla Cybercab to slam on its brakes by jumping into the middle of the road – raising concerns that pranksters could pose a serious problem for the new driverless vehicles.

The video, which has racked up 1.3 million views and counting on X, shows the unnamed, paunchy man hopping into the street in front of a moving Cybercab and then back onto the sidewalk. The robotaxi repeatedly slams on the brakes before eventually sitting in the middle of the street with its hazard lights on while a standard car with a driver pulls around.

The Cybercab has been lauded as a key facet of the company’s long-term path to growth as it has struggled with slumping sales of its electric cars.

Musk has said the company will transform into a broader tech firm focusing on artificial intelligence and humanoid robots.

As for me, I don't get in to anything doesn't have a human behind the wheel, period. And I ain't 'Juss' sayin'...

Ahhh - the midterms are almost upon us. YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN...

 
Everybody and their sister is chirping at us about the mid-term elections coming up. Pollsters are all over the map on candidates, and the candidate pools are, sadly, almost laughable. Almost all, but some of them are scary. All this noise about socialist Dimocrits and Krazy lefties like that guy in Texas who thinks Jesus was 'non-binary - whatever the fuck that actually means.

What it comes down to is a battle between pocketbooks and policy. We know the Conservative PAC wallets are pretty thick as of now, but the smear and snear tactics haven't revved up yet. 

Wait and see. Don't let the other guy do your job. Get out there and vote - 

no matter which way you swing (pun intended)...
