A Boring Day Gone Good

A boring day, so I gathered up the two youngest and took them to a park by the airport.  They played awhile, then LK chose to write, and Smiley took out his sketchbook. I mainly hopped around wishing the park had a restroom lol

The Media Loves Division

Did you know there was a white nationalist march scheduled in Virginia yesterday? I didn't. And I'm willing to bet you didn't either (unless you're on their membership list, in which case, eww.) Ignore it, let them march in accordance with their Constitutional rights, and all they hear is the sound of crickets. But instead the press, pretending this was newsworthy and not a gathering of kooks, gave them all the publicity and notoriety they desired, and brought along Soros's Antifa to make sure there was suitable dramatic tension. Congratulations, MSM, you proved yourself unworthy of respect yet again.

The Polish Officer by Alan Furst

I read this on vacation on the dubious "recommendation" of Sandra Sh--i, who didn't like it and passed it on to me. I loved it. A detailed, fictional account of a Polish agent operating from the fall of '39 to 1942, it drew me in from the start. Furst has a way with words, and fleshes out even the characters you only meet in passing.

An Update on the Debit Card Fraud

While on vacation the bank mailed me a letter informing me the money was credited back to my account, the overdraft fees waived, and all scheduled electronic payments had been honored. It made for a thin wallet while on vacation, but it went EGBAR in the end.

A Walk Interrupted

My hip was so bad last night I considered going to the ER, but I knew they wouldn't do anything. I was a cripple confined to the couch. Thankfully this morning it's back to normal. Criminey.

I went for a walk with LK to stretch out the hip. Made it 3/4th of a mile when it buckled and I had to call for a ride home. Not my proudest moment.

The Media. Doing Media things.

My how quickly the media abandoned the dire threat of nuclear war as soon as they had a white power march to cover. Have you heard anything about North Korea today? I'm not sure why those idiots in the march weren't just ignored, instead of pimping them in the press, and it's certainly been no more violent than BLM, but whatev -I don't pay their bills. George Soros and his ilk do.

Again: if yesterday the media was screaming war and telling you how to avoid fallout from a nuke,  and today they tell you the end of the world is a march in Virginia,  then by definition they were wrong - or lying to you - at least once this week. #TrustThemNot

Short Memories Abound

Like I said yesterday,  if you think the North Korean bs is new,  you haven't been paying attention.

A state run Chinese newspaper has stated that if North Korea attacks US territory, they are on their own, and China will remain neutral.

Jellystone 2017

Just back from a wonderful three night stay at Jellystone Park in Caledonia with Team Slap and my mother-in-law Jeanne Scorsone (prepaid,  long before the bank fiasco). A great,  relaxing time.  The consensus is we should make it an annual event.

Oi. Did something stupid as we were leaving camp. I jumped down off a platform. Just three of four feet, but enough to f up the hip just in time for my return to the world. It's hard to even walk right now. Dumb dumb dumb

Smiley is super proud of his tomato crop!

A Great Time

It's blurry because it was nighttime and under a porch light,  but it was great to see my older two cracking each other up. @Jellystone
