Oh, the carnage! Much chlorophyll was spilled today, staining the fields in emerald gore,
As I hacked through the thistle thickets, my jeans now a tapestry of battle's lore.
Victory at last, the lawn bends knee—but lo, the dastardly crabgrass plots its return!

In the shadowed realm of Guthrie, where the wild grasses rise like orcish hordes,
I, the valiant Yard-Slayer, donned my armor of denim.
With mower-blade drawn, I charged the green legions.
Blades clashed! Weeds flew like goblin heads, dandelions blooming in treacherous retort.

True enough, curious though, when using the phrase Teutonic as an adjective, does that generally refer to German speakers in general or to Germans specifically.

I was recently reminded of this song and it struck me what an amazing run German artists had in the 1980s:
Nena
Kraftwerk
Alphaville
Scorpions
Peter Schilling
Falco
I'll skip Milli Vanilli but I know I am missing some.

Any particular reason we were all Teutonophiles for a decade?

Old guy moment of the day: My NAS is starting to die after 13 years of service and my replacement is arriving today along with two 12 TB drives. Made me reminisce about my first hard-drive purchased around 1985 for about $3000 in 2026 dollars, held 20MB and I thought I would never fill it. #tech

Today is National Puzzle Day. Good luck putting this ice puzzle together from tonight on the Chicago River.

Screen shot from David Holt’s Facebook feed which reads: This morning, I met with the ownership of the property at 2800 S. Council in Southwest Oklahoma City. The owners are not residents of Oklahoma and this is the only property they own in Oklahoma City. The owners of the property at 2800 S. Council confirmed to me this morning that they are no longer engaged with the Department of Homeland Security about a potential acquisition or lease of this property. I commend the owners for their decision and thank them on behalf of the people of Oklahoma City. As Mayor, I ask that every single property owner in Oklahoma City exhibit the same concern for our community in the days ahead.

According to Mayor David Holt, the location being considered as a DHS holding facility is off market do that use after the owners stopped engaging with DHS on the contract.

Trump says states are required to enforce federal immigration laws. He's wrong. Trump says that if Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doesn't cooperate with ICE, it's a "very serious violation of the Law." But that's not what the law says.

I am old enough to remember when federalism was a key principal of the conservative political philosophy. And yet it is always the left accused of shifting.
