And if he broke the law then lock him up.
I've often said that nobody knows what they are doing, some of us just fake it better than others.
Well.....at least Florida will be fucked.
"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege."
You and I read that with mild interest, but the Ukrainians read it as a matter of life and death.
I wish them the very best but my wife says we can't afford to send them any more money.

Then why did God make it pleasurable?
Why yes, I would like to adopt a tiny semi-feral animal with a lifespan just a fraction of my own and then make its continued survival the lynchpin of my mental health.
Maybe women would be happier during their periods if someone invented a tampon that vibrated.

Grasshopper mouse fights & kills a scorpion, drinks its venom, then proceeds to howl at the moon to claim its victory.
They were lucky. That thing barely missed the visitors' center.
A real hard ass.

Elephant
Notice that they didn't feed it anything. As I understand it they used to feed them snacks but when the elephant encountered a vehicle without snacks it became very angry.
Flashflood
Lifelong friendship is so strange. I once watched you drink four margaritas out of an Ugg boot and now you sell insurance and have a son named Arnold.
Nobody falls in love faster than a narcissist who needs somewhere to live.
HUMAN BEHAVIOR
I would require therapy after each shift.
Said to be an American tourist mistaking the filming of a movie for assault.
WWI resulted in Germany being severely punished for its aggression and that resulted in WWII. So - wisely - after WWII we rebuilt the belligerents.
They are starting to put a lot of videos like that online - meaning they have no resolution.
An interview between Journalist Camerota and Newt Gingrich 2/2
This is what Orwellian politics looks like and it is terrifying.
A guy at the bar was complaining about the exorbitant salaries of pro athletes and I explained it this way. The whole franchise brings in a certain amount of money that for the sake of argument we are going to put in a bucket. Out of this bucket, the owner buys uniforms, maintains the field, and hires players among other things. Any money left in the bucket after all the bills are paid goes to the owner. So, when the players demand more of the money it doesn't require more money going in the bucket, but rather less money for the owner.
Watch carefully...
Some of my favorite memories were driving out to find a place that matched a scene in a book I was writing and just sitting and noting the sounds, smells, slipperiness, breezes, etc.
That seems only useful for driving. The foot shape doesn't adjust at all.
Here's another downside of those abominations...
I recently rewatched North By Northwest and while CLIMBING DOWN THE FACE ON MOUNT RUSHMORE the lady wore high heels.
Not only that, she kept her handbag looped around her wrist.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST
Fontana dell'Acqua Vergine also known as the Trevi Fountain.
That's the stupidest thing I've seen all week.
But many packaging techniques are not just stupid but fraudulent.

The blue tint works very well I think.
Alice in Wonderland (1933)
Steamer Trunk Box
I finally got to use the hardware I got from burning those old trunks back in the 1970s.
I know it is hard for you to see but I designed a method to simulate flush airplane rivets that I think are very effective.
The corner strips are black leather and the piano hinge is brass. Notice that the upper half of the hinge is under the top trim board.
I like the different textures employed.
Turns out this is my wife's favorite.
So, she had me put it where it simply couldn't be ignored.
That might also work for tobacco.

Take a good look - not at the kid but that ridiculous getup on the priest.

puzzle time....Moon Pies?
D1 (maybe meant to be C1): best story of the trevi fountain is the guy who spent years gathering change thrown into it and when asked why he did it he said “nobody told me I couldn’t.”

I will never get tired of praising your support of Ukraine. I’m trying to do it in a creative way, of course. This time I will tell you a short story which describes your behaviour. I’ve heard this story from a philosopher.
I believe the story happened in a village in Europe. The philosopher saw a pastor leaving a church (probably on Sunday). European pastors are not scammers like US pastors, but rather moral authorities showing an example for the community. There was a poor man by the church bagging for money. People leaving the church were throwing coins to the beggar. The philosopher observing the whole scene saw that the pastor stopped by the beggar, didn’t throw any money, but told him something. The beggar stood up, hugged the pastor and started to cry.
The philosopher got curious, so he came up to the beggar and asked him, what just happened. The beggar said that the pastor made his day, because the pastor told him: “I forgot my money at home, so I have no coins to give you. But I want you to know that I love you.” According to the poor men, people who were donating saw a beggar in him, but didn’t see a human being. The pastor didn’t donate anything, but he saw a human in the beggar.
Morale: often non-material things can bring more happiness than material ones. Your post reminded me of that pastor. Money's not everything. And it is cool that you are managing to keep this understanding in the cultural context built on the philosophy of pragmatism.
Cheers,
Borys
