I have days like this once in a while. I'm sure you do too...

 At the end of the day yesterday, I realized I had not accomplished a single friggin' thing all day. And I was cool with it...   

Sure - there's a buncha shit I coulda done around the house. Hedges to trim, weeds to kill, I'm in the middle of a painting I've been working on for the past 4 months, coulda cleaned my truck, coulda baked a loaf of bread, coulda gone down to Oxford and played poker all afternoon, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Instead, I didn't do dick. I read a book and took a nap. Those were the highlights of my day. All in all, I'd say it was a day well spent. I'm confident you'll agree you have days like that too...

And so every story starts with a lie.

This AI shit really is more than a little scary. There's no way I coulda told that this isn't a real picture - aside from the fact I know Ike croaked a coupla years back...

Sites like TikTok and Instagram and even Facebook are rife with videos of some guy or another asking random people on the street simple question like 'How many things are there in a dozen' (A dozen what?) and 'How many states are there in the United States' (One?) or 'What is the capital  of the United States' (The United States has a capital?).
It is amazing just how fuckin' stupid some kids are nowadays - and they keep doing shit every day just to prove how dumb they really are - but the blame lays more with parents and teachers and social media than it does with the kids themselves. Kids themselves, with rare exceptions, are biologically incapable of self improvement. I know from experience. At least that's what I think.

On July 9th, 38-year-old Cynthia Sosa stopped at an intersection in Key West "to let a chicken cross the road" when another driver "began honking at her and later passed her, running over the chicken."
Sosa reportedly pursued the driver out of frustration about the chicken's death. Upon catching up to the stopped driver, Sosa allegedly blocked the road in front of the victim's vehicle, got out of her car, opened the other guy's door and sprayed him with bear mace - whatever the fuck that is. Sounds like my kinda gal...

As close to American royaly as it gets.

Thursday morning reflections on religion. These Iranian women are pictured protesting the fact that they will be forced to wear the Hijab after the overthrow of the Shah. This protest happened just days after the revolution in Iran in 1979. The Hijab rule is still in effect.  
Some Arab guy was quoted as saying 'A woman who converts to Islam is like a black person converting to slavery' I'm not dissing Islam in any way - I'm sure there are some people who get personal satisfaction from aligning themselves with that religion. It's more the fact that women are pretty much treated like shit by the guys in it. Or at least it appears outwardly to be that way.

  1. The Ike photo - - yeah, the uniform is not accurate at all. Looks nothing like anything Ike ever wore. And, croaked a "coupla years back"? Yeah, actually that would be 1969. I heard about it in school one day. I was in the 7th grade at the time.

  2. If you have nothing to do be thankful you're not caring for an elderly parent who needs diaper changing and can't do anything for themselves.

Tidy up or pay the fiddler...

This house is about four blocks from my house, and, yes, it is a shithole. A Villager has been given one week to remove debris from his prop...
