🎶🎶I fall to pieces🎶🎶

You okay, Cap?

I just wish they'd mind the wind.

We don't have a car and don't go many places so the fuel insanity hasn't hit us yet.

But the cooking gas went out today.

On March 3, we paid ₱1180 for a tank of LPG the size you'd use on a barbecue.

Today a tank of the same size was ₱1750.

That's crazy, man.

Yeowch! Cooking gas went up ₱600 a tank over last month!!

I forgot to say that because the power was out, so was the water. The pumps at the water company's well are electric so there was no cool water to stave off the heat with the power out.

Just like everywhere else, other people don't exist here so you do whatever you want to. From riding your motorcycle on the sidewalk to avoid traffic, to burning plastics while your neighbor with COPD gasps and wheezes.

Meanwhile, to cite just one of his crimes, acting President Donald Trump pirated an oil tanker, sold the oil and put the money in a Qatari account.

DOJ: *crickets*

...door-to-door trash pickup. You either have to pay to have your crap hauled to a central location or burn it.

Ditto organic matter. Smoke from an organic matter fire will choke me, too, but it isn't nearly as bad as burning plastics and such like he's doing.

And nobody ever considers the wind.

Sitting here in the house where the fan is running because the power finally, mercifully came back, watching tendrils of smoke from the burn pile across the street waft over my patio where I just was.

Burning is, of course, illegal but the law is unenforced and unenforceable because there's no...

this guy is almost two-and-a-half years old which is gettin close to the end of his little life but instead he's waltzing around his house upside-down, hell yeah

*Mission: Impossible Theme*

Dit! You little Tom Cruise, you!

Midlife crisis? Just chuck it on the pile.

And now I'm going to have to go back inside the stifling house because the fucking moron across the street has decided to burn things in the blazing hot sun and now I can't BREATHE!

No. The last time I had cannabis anything it was rolled in a ZigZag and Pink Floyd was on the turntable.

And of course, it's very illegal here.

I can't smoke but I wouldn't mind trying a different delivery system. Those days are gone, though.

Sitting outside with the dogs while the power is out because there's a breeze.

If we ever get the catios built, the next thing will be a little mosquito-proof room out here for me.

There's power for my laptop and a mini fridge for beer.

Right now, it's too hot for the day biting mosquitoes.

Sexy man! 😻

Water leak, WiFi went out, power just went out at the moment the cooking gas went out.

Just rounding the bases in the Third World Series today. Holy shit!

Oh, wait. That's 1 THC = 5 CBD. Okay. Nevermind. 😁

I would read that wrong. What does the 1 THC 5 CBD mean if the mg are higher?

Fixed another leak in the outside HDPE tubing that's used here for water distribution. Manly work done, I'm having some ice water.

Glad you're having a nice time!

Trump is running America like his businesses.

"Since it went public two years ago, Trump Media has lost more than $1.1 billion."

Oh, that sounds good! We used to have cream cheese and Fritos.

I'll have to see if the market has cream cheese next month when we go. Grahams are pretty cheap. 👍🏼

The Venturo was part of Suuronen's Casa Finlandia series, known as the model CF-45

The Venturo House is a prefabricated house designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen in 1971.

Suuronen became known for his round flying saucer shaped Futuro House (1968) and wanted to create a new weekend cottage.

One must ask the inevitable: in a country that now sacrifices its children on the altar of firearms, will kids that die from preventable illnesses soften hardened hearts?

Or will it be the same old, "That's awful. Oh! Real Housewives is on!"

I had thought that BSky was the type to get basic usability down first. I was wrong.

I hope The Atlantic subpoenas the USA Hockey team.
