READ ALL ABOUT IT


^^A1^^

And we wonder why young people are losing faith in the system and just giving up.

^^A2^^

^^A3^^

^^A4^^

I think there ought to be a special commission to look into the whole sordid affair.

^^A5^^

I'll keep posting this until somebody does something about it.

^^A6^^

^^A7^^

^^A8^^

^^A9^^

"Tattoos are permanent" - so is the internet and you embarrass yourself on there daily.

Always check the height of the ceiling fan before giving a toddler a ride on your shoulder. How I learned this rule is not important.

AND AWRY WE GO


I wonder how many people understand just how stupid that is.

^^B1^^

It looks like they are avoiding him.

^^B2^^

How do you live there and not know that is going to happen?

^^B3^^

A whole ecosystem vanishes right before your eyes.

^^B4^^

There are two types of friends...

^^B5^^

Those stickers have glue, paper, and ink that are all edible.

^^B6^^

Harold was always early...

^^B7^^

^^B8^^

^^B9^^

I'm impressed.

^^B10^^

🎶Oh, she never returned, no, she never returned and her fate is still unknown...🎶

^^B11^^

^^B12^^

Meanwhile in Bangkok...

The women's mirth seems entirely inappropriate.

^^B13^^

Does anyone else get the random urge to get their life together in the middle of the night?

I asked Alexa, "What do women want?" and the thing hasn't shut up for seven days.

OBJECTS OF NOTE


^^C1^^

^^C2^^

*No word on the artist.

^^C3^^

Protein shake Wednesday

They looked like sand fleas like we used to dig up at the beach so I looked it up:

Sand Fleas is a typical crunchy snack popularly eaten in parts of Asia, and it tastes very close to tempura prawns. Not only do sand fleas taste like crabs, but even their texture is similar to crabs. Once fried or roasted, the hard outer shell becomes crispy and gives a nice crunch when you bite into them.

^^C4^^

This is not it, but the crib my parents bought for my older brother was used for all of us children, all of our children, and all of their children.

^^C5^^

An Alaskan brown bear track.

And the brown bear is not even the largest bear in the area.

^^C6^^

The Perseids Meteor Shower

^^C7^^

How could anyone not enclose that carport to make a shop or whatever?

^^C8^^

Is that a special metal or will any old spring do that?

^^C9^^

Inca Rail 360 to Machu Picchu

I was sitting at a bar next to a stranger when I said, "I don't understand why we pay so much money to travel to Egypt when we have ancient ruins right here in our hemisphere." The man explained that he had been to Machu Picchu three times but the reason it was not a popular tourist destination was that you have to stop at certain altitudes for a couple of days for your body to acclimate then do the same thing on the way down. All in all, it takes a week to spend one day there.

^^C10^^

Beer Delivery

Where does all the urine go?

^^C11^^

Overhead Farm Crane

What are they moving?

^^C12^^

There are two types of tired: One that requires rest, and one that requires peace.

No matter how poor you think you are if you have a family you have no chance of getting out of poverty.

PEOPLE NOT LIKE US


Burning Man Grandmas

^^D1^^

I sure wish I had the face-painting franchise for the World Cup.

^^D2^^

And...

^^D3^^

I like women who are self-starters.

^^D4^^

^^D5^^

I lost the source but apparently, it's true.

^^D6^^

Ukraine Warrior Sends Message Home

^^D7^^

The response I Have Wanted To Make Often

I'm thinking ALL anti-mask, anti-vaccine, and anti-science morons.

That's BS for the majority of people. My Dad just took a cruise down South America and he did Machu Picchu as a day trip.

Machu Picchu is approximately 7,921 feet above sea level. Out here in the west our mountains are at approximately 8,500 to 12,000 feet above sea level. I understand someone living at sea level might struggle breathing a little bit but it's not a multiple day trip for that elevation.

Everest would be.

It looks to me like unbaled hay.

Dear Baggins, In that guy's defense, maybe he went to another ruin and I misremembered it. Are there ruins at higher elevations that would fit his description?

I agree. You might need a day for altitude acclimation if you're a flatlander. Altitude sickness typically doesn't begin below 8000 ft, and only those from sea level typically have problems at that altitude.

Regardless of altitude, you never need to acclimate as you go down.

Nope. It's silage. A fancy word for pickled pasture grass. FYI- it stinks to high heaven.

I knew someone who operated a dairy farm and that's what he fed his cows.

A2: If you had any “situational awareness” you would know that although not perfect, capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other form of commerce.

C11: Why do you think that when snow skiing, especially off trail, one of the most important rules is “Don’t eat the yellow snow”?

Ralph Henry said...

Dear A2 Anon, I agree. I'm sure we both agree that today it is not perfect. So, join me in calling for tweaks to make it "more perfect".

Went from sea level to 9500ft in about 4hrs, had a few beers no issues.
