I definitely want to look like I'm wearing a scuba mask all day.

Emergency!

Look into a mirror and say "Chunked and Covered" three times.

So this is why defense contractors were promised a 50% increase in the US defense budget, because he obliterated their foreign market.

Whoever named woodpeckers had some issues.

I didn't see them, but they were top of the list on my BirdNet detections yesterday. Even clobbered the Grackles.

Strangely, I had just seen him in an episode of "Emergency!". Season 2 or 3 I think.

Fun to see him in his natural habitat.

Top birds detected on my BirdNet-Pi server: Eastern Bluebird Common Grackle Northern Cardinal Mourning Dove American Kestrel Killdeer House Sparrow Canada Goose Blue Jay Carolina Chickadee Chipping Sparrow White Crowned Sparrow New species - Lark Sparrow

Bird listening update (SW MO):

Eastern Bluebird absolutely blowing up the place today. No way the Grackles are going to come back from that one.

I made it through war, and I made it through peace, I couldn't carry on when they were starting to head back to war again.

She was presumably "the best" (for his purposes at least), I can't see anybody else that would take the job during this Administration being any sort of improvement.

She told me the Cracked Pepper was great and popular, but they were out of it before I got there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Carinara - Tomato Free Pasta Sauce - Sweet Basil flavored

They were giving out samples of this sauce at my grocery store the other day. I was amazed enough at how good it was that I bought some even though tomatoes don't bother me.

I believe she told me it was imported from Nebraska

(I have no affiliation to this company, BTW)

I hope she's found soon, but has anyone checked the tree.

It's a common char-icteristic of grilled food.

Bird listening update (SW MO):

Bird listening update (SW MO):

Yesterday's runaway winner was the Common Grackle with the American Robin a distant second and a very strong effort from a single Chipping Sparrow.

My ringtone and alarm wakeup sound is the "Underdog" theme song.

Maybe it was a former President of a different country or something like "former President of the Jones Middle School PTA"

I wanted to get one and name it Oatey.

Seems like a codpiece would be right up their alley.

I do have an ice cream maker would the recipe still work?

The lemon bar one looked good, too.

When you are replacing an idiot, I suppose a lout will do just fine (by their standards).

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo!

Have them do that after saying something like "I know this... It's a UNIX system."

Those are super tasty. My daughter got me some a couple of months ago. They were gone too fast.

Looks good to me.

I like my toast on the lighter side, but that is "going beyond the pale" in the light toast department. :)
