I’ve been outside the last few days. In the sunshine. Sweating. Sweating. In March. The world has turned upside-down, but by golly you will not catch me complaining. (Still sorry, you east coasters. I know that your ghastly winter has been All Our Fault.)
Been painting skirting on the house (no more piece-o-crap black plastic sheeting nailed around the foundation; the neighbors should love me!) and putting on the belly band between the skirting and the upper house. I’m hardly alone. The neighborhood is roaring with lawn mowers and at the lumberyard I’m in line with every contractor and handyman I know, all busy, months ahead of schedule.
So I’m a little slow on posting, but I haven’t forgotten you! We’re gradually moving back toward rain and that’ll bring me indoors to the computer soon enough.
Meantime I did manage to post a little something over at The Zelman Partisans. Nothing earth shattering, but there it is.
Also found this great Kevin Williamson article about that Great American Slime Mold, the Clinton family. Or, as Williamson puts it, “the penicillin-resistant syphilis of American politics.” Hey, whatever else they are, the Clintons are entertaining.
Clintons “entertaining?” I suppose, if you enjoy watching black mold grow in the shower…
I have a pet wolf spider in the upstairs bathroom. He’s come out of hibernation early, and I happily finding flies to swat to feed him occasionally. He loves it, and waves his mouth feelers at me whenever he sees me.
(And yes, A Wyoming winter encourages some strange hobbies, I’ll grant you.) LOL
We each find entertainment in different ways. 🙂 I’d much rather use bleach spray on mold than watch it.
inaptronymic: egads, dude thinks he’s Bill Buckley!
Though I’m hard pressed to come up with another word which would work there.
Can’t recall who first said, “Rules are for the little people”, or whether there’s any know provenance for it, for that matter. But no doubt it applies in spades here in the US. Making it all the uglier, Glenn Reynolds notes that Hillary had no trouble lowering the boom on Ambassador to Kenya Scott Gration for using commercial e-mail. I guess he was just a plebe.

As I remember, 😉 it was the tribe crone, right after Big Oog told Little Urk there was a rule about sitting too close to the fire.

I believe it was Leona Helmsley when she was being charged with tax fraud.
As opposed to the Bush slime family,and we’ll be stuck with them even longer.And no,I wont vote for either one.I will not legitimize the RULE of either of them.
I believe it was, too. I also came across this: http://www.wnd.com/2013/06/laws-are-for-little-people/
