What, Me Worry?

Does he think he's fooling anyone?

Trump: “Inflation is solved…Everything is going good. Everybody respects us again.” Big if true https://t.co/ceyJxhjytN

There's nothing to worry about.

"Monday Again?" Monday

I haven't had a job since 2006 (20 Yrs. free!! Fuck you, wage-slave chumps!) but the psychological weight of Monday continues to oppress.

Also again: Winter. Now we're wasting the sun, & it was 77F° (25C) in the bunker when I forced myself out of bed about 1145. Brrr!

Did I mention weight? I now weigh 159 lbs. (72 kilos), down five over the last two months. My ass is literally bony, & my current throne unpadded, so I charged a pair of chair pads, which came tied together w/ a nice gray ribbon.

Now I can spend the rest of my empty existence sitting firmly & comfortably on my ass.

"Safe" At Last

Had to leave the bunker to forage, then had to do the laundry.

That done, I can lock the door, turn off the outside world, listen to music of my choice, lay track & wait for the rain.

Intelligent People In Gov't.?

Might be a good idea. Note that Sen. Keating was a Republican, yet spouts the Commie line in response to the social worker from Manhasset's letter at the beginning. And robots were stealing jobs almost 63 yrs. ago too.

The Surgeon General gave a damn about his job & knew how to do it. Compare & contrast:

Since January 20, 2025, when Vivek Murthy departed, no surgeon general has been confirmed and the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) lists the position as vacant. Deputy Surgeon General Denise Hinton performed the duties of the surgeon general until her retirement in September 2025.

Who needs a Surgeon General in the Age of COVID & other plagues?

Monday Message Of Hope

And away we go!

You may not want to know what's waiting at the bottom of the hill.

History Lessons

From a century ago, via Cassandra's Grandson.And, starting a bit earlier, we sense a theme: Heather Cox Richardson shows how history shows again & again. Yet none of the drones ever learn.

Finished

As mentioned.

Found a better use for the radioactive wooden boxes.

Now, enough w/ the procrastination; the new (& old) rolling stock is silly w/o tracks on which to roll, so back to laying roadbed & track.Whaddaya know, the late John (Died in his 'plane just a bit over 29 yrs.ago, not on a train.) Denver's last album was a children's album of train songs.

Saturday Civics Lesson

As ever, the urbane sophisticates of the large states vs. the small-state goobers & hicks. And why there is a Senate. As if a "state", or its legislature, has any "rights" or interests that supersede those of its people. The wealthy, rigging the game since 1786.

And not word one about slavery. No doubt simplified for classroom consumption, which is no excuse.

Basketball News & Notes

High-scoring games.

Best of luck to all the teams.

Sunday Swiffery

Bunkerkeeping

Got tired of cleaning the filthy tile & linoleum floors in the bunker by spraying cleanser on the floor & wiping it w/ a paper towel underfoot, so I charged a Swiffer.

Works pretty well, sprays a fur piece (powered by two AA batteries) & w/ a little elbow grease did a better job than the previous method.

Probably take a powerwasher w/ bleach to really clean.

Of course now I'm in thrall to P&G for Swiffer solution & pads for eternity.

No Water For You!

Estimado(s) inquilino(s),

Usted está recibiendo este aviso porque habrá una interrupción temporal del agua programado para todas las unidades este viernes, 16 de octubre entre las 10:00AM y 2:00PM para hacer una reparacion en el edificio.

Nos disculpamos por las molestias que esto le puede causar y le agradecemos por su paciencia.

Gracias por su cooperacion.

All because of the dripping faucet in my bunker that's been leaking since at least 2023. (Cheap slumlord bastard!) And the only reason the cheap prick is doing this is because Bldg. & Safety (in their first inspection in six yrs.!) wrote them up for it, in January!! Other incompetence: Lying assholes first claimed they'd be here 1 Oct. Didn't show, didn't call. 16 days later ...

La Nouvelle Deux Chevaux

Citroën hasn't made one since its 42-yr. run ended in 1990. This new model is electric & perhaps £12,000, or €15,000.

Not until 2028, however.The original model, little changed over its existence.

Would you like to know even more?

F.O.A.D.

Whatever it is, I'm not interested. Now go away.

In Fourteen Hundred & Ninety-Two, Columbus Sailed ...

My goodness, some people really do hate America. Where do they get such bad attitudes?

Actually, Kurt, it was thousands of years.

Ah, no wonder there was no mail today.

Wrapped up w/ a bow on it.

Sad-Ass Sat.

When America was great, damit!! Nostalgic re-runs, if any of these have been run before, from the hard-drive.

Note the church steeple dominating the town.

And transgenderism is socialist, as droning idiot J.D. Vance just told us. Bonus track:
