One Of My Very Own

That's kind of how I feel about my upcoming family reunion.

WORD ON THE STREET

I like signs. This is one that is as old as the internet.

I actually saw this sign during one of our road trips. I was giddy with excitement. 
^^A1^^

I've also seen several of these...

 My Tupperware bowl just reminded me that I had spaghetti on May 6, 1999.

LET'S THINK FOR A MOMENT

In the mid-1980s Ruth Coker Burks took it as a calling to care for people with AIDS at the dawn of the epidemic when survival from diagnosis to death was sometimes measured in weeks. For about a decade, between 1984 and the mid-1990s and before better HIV drugs and more enlightened medical care for AIDS patients effectively rendered her obsolete, Burks cared for hundreds of dying people, many of them gay men who had been abandoned by their families. She had no medical training, but she took them to their appointments, picked up their medications, helped them fill out forms for assistance, and talked them through their despair. Sometimes she paid for their creations. She buried over three dozen of them with her own two hands after their families refused to claim their bodies. For many of those people, she is now the only person who knows the location of their graves.

RH: And just a few years later nobody gives a fuck what people do with their genitalia.

And here's why the world left persecution to acceptance.

I credit the average person's rejection of the tribal myths in the bible that are no more relevant than stoning non-virgins.
^^B2^^

I disagree. Critics (good ones) simply know more about art than any one artist.
^^B3^^

You have to look at the payoff. If the payoff is worthwhile, then it's courage. If the payoff is trivial, then it's stupid.
^^B4^^


Men dictating what a woman can do with her body. What could possibly go wrong?
^^B5^^


I need to exercise - I really do. But it just seems so...non-productive.

One big difference between men and women is that if a woman says "Smell this," it usually smells nice.

PROBLEM-SOLVING CONTRAPTIONS

I want my wife to buy me one of these. 
^^C1^^

I have written about this months ago, but I didn't have a gif.

Have you ever wondered how railroads organize trains? The Hump yard is the answer.

Cars are decoupled as they are pushed up the "hump". Gravity takes over as an operator sends them to the appropriate siding. They then go on to their destination. This process is used quite often on transcontinental trains in the US. This particular yard is in Nebraska.
RH: I have a marshaling yard not far from my house. When the cars collide with the rest of the train it sometimes sounds like a bomb going off.

Say what you will about nuclear weapons...

But we haven't had a world war in three generations.

I finally did yoga for the first time, which, of course, means I now hate yoga.

THINGS GOING TO SHIT

Watch carefully...

I'm thinking he knew that would happen. He threw the hammer away and braced himself. And there just happened to be a hole for his head.

^^D1^^

 ^^D2^^

I always coated the pill with peanut butter and my dogs gobbled them down. You would think a vet would know that.

Lucille Ball Bronze Statue before and after re-design. Yes, the one on the left was real.

Watch carefully...

The rotor wash of an Airbus H125 Helicopter is immense and can cause large objects to fly into the air causing FOD (Foreign Object Damage). A great way to eliminate incidents like this is 100' cable between the bucket and the helicopter (long-line bucketing).

Last night I saw a girl so hot that if she ate a slice of bread she would poop toast.

The moment I saw this I knew how it was made.

Of course I've seen similar things before...
