PONDERABLES


^^A1^^

^^A2^^

Shut the fuck up.

^^A3^^

^^A4^^

One of my bartenders lived paycheck to paycheck, was a single mom, had a special needs child, had no health insurance, and broke her leg while doing Roller Derby. I felt that was just a tad over the risk limit.

^^A5^^


Today is President Zelenskyy's 45th birthday. He is 12 days older than his wife. His wife said they met when they were 17 years old, and they got married in 2003.

^^A6^^

We all thought that TV would ruin us, but then along came the internet. The people I hung out with knew that nothing on the internet could be taken as fact until it was verified but millions of our fellow citizens will believe ANYTHING they read online.

^^A7^^

When I was writing I kept a notebook beside my bed for just that scenario. I also kept index cards in my pockets at all times because I never knew when I would get an idea.

^^A8^^

Back when I was somebody in this town, I was at a cocktail party and a man asked me what "I did" and I told him I was a painter. He then asked what I painted and I said, "Buildings". He looked disappointed and walked off. Later he approached me again, laughed, and said that he thought I was "Just a house painter" and not a nationally known muralist. I then excused myself and walked away.

^^A9^^

I still smile when I think about the novel I wrote about a guy who stole another man's identity without knowing that the man was in the witness protection program and the mob was closing in.

^^A10^^

^^A11^^

^^A12^^

Have you ever wondered what people like that do when they are not driving around town?
^^A13^^

Help Sign
 

Not just for domestic abuse but also for quietly asking for help for any reason. Whoever thought that up ought to get a Nobel Prize.

Call the Christian God she/her and watch how fast they care about pronouns.

My wife once wanted her parents to stay with us for the holidays. I reminded her that her father was an ex-marine and I used the third amendment to prevent it from happening.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST

When I was still writing I could think of nothing better than owning a beach house with a window just like that facing the ocean and I would sit there with my computer all day.

^^B2^^

Something is putting the tile under stress but what?

^^B3^^

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station spotted an exotic type of upside-down lightning called a blue jet, which was zipping up from a thundercloud into the stratosphere.

^^B4^^

Workmen all over the world have been dealing with a safe way to get these pipes off of trucks.

And they came so very close...

^^B5^^

*OSIT

^^B6^^

^^B7^^

I've never seen a hiding place like that. I bet it's meant for a weapon.

^^B8^^

^^B9^^

Duck Blind

^^B10^^

Hovercraft

^^B11^^

How many trucks could a tow truck tow if a tow truck could tow trucks?

Fast and Furious Meets The Centipede movie.

^^B12^^

Everything you have ever wanted to know about tumbleweeds...

Is it too much to ask to just stand in the forest with my dick in my hand without so many people taking photographs?

Horses get farted on more than any other animal.

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL


^^C1^^

^^C2^^

^^C3^^

That dog should NEVER be allowed to jump up on a human.

^^C4^^

I would love to do that.

^^C5^^

I would have NEVER allowed that.

^^C6^^

The Raccoon Encounter

She put boxes in her trash without breaking them down. Tsk, tsk.

^^C7^^

^^C8^^

Treating bloat in Cows. Bloat is a digestive disorder that results from the build-up of excessive gas, which can ultimately lead to death. This method of treatment helps the cow by releasing methane & the flames help the vet gauge the remaining gas left in the cow. 

Basically setting cow farts on fire.

One of the most difficult things we have to accept is the knowledge that eventually we will want to go to Lowe's. At some point that becomes fun. One day you wake up and think "It sure would be exciting to look at blinds". And you never know when it's going to happen.

PEOPLE NOT LIKE US


That would have to be done on purpose.

^^D1^^

I watched the first two episodes of the series The Last Of Us starring this guy. 

It was worth my time. The "monsters" are like zombies but they are controlled by fungi.

Now there's this:

^^D2^^


^^D3^^

Here's how that happened.

^^D4^^

My wife's signature move...

^^D5^^

^^D6^^

I've known many people who were alcoholics and would get blackout drunk to the point that they would tell me they had a great time the night before but when questioned couldn't remember a single thing they did.

^^D7^^

^^D8^^

Watch very carefully.

In the process of maintaining readiness, many warriors die in peacetime. When my brother-in-law crashed his plane in the Mediterranean trying to detect Soviet submarines, the Navy told his parents that they normally lose one or two pilots on each six-month cruise.

^^D9^^

Now I wonder if that woman with the red bandana is helping her aim.

^^D10^^

Mathew, a teen living with Cerebral Palsy, when he found out he had been excepted to Harvard.

*Did you notice the extraordinary mistake in the caption?

^^D11^^

Dangerous Liaison

^^D12^^

Building a boat to sail around the world when you don't know boat building or sailing.

I was fascinated by the lead needed.

^^D13^^

Depends where he keeps his "Shit"!

B8: I think the point of that short video is that eggs have become so expensive that you have to place them in a safe place on the transport home.

D13: I have been watching him on YouTube for the last four years. Another good boat building show is Sampson Boat Company. He is rebuilding an old wooden sailboat (Tally Ho) he bought for $1.

The difference between the two channels is that Sampson Boat Co. was set up as a non-profit and is run by a formally-trained boat-builder. And he has highly trained volunteers come and go over the course of the years. The joinery and compound angles in Sampson are amazing.

Both are really cool to watch.
