Yeah, I know all you smartphone people have cameras in your pockets. My dumbphone has a camera, too. But it’s not worth much. So this morning I didn’t get a photo of the car that had a) a big sticker identifying the owner as a member of one of the local tribes and b) a big sticker supporting one of the local sports teams, which depicts a stereotypical Indian leaping around doing a war-whoop. Tolerance. It’s what’s rural. —– In the second case, I couldn’t have taken a photo, because part of the subject of the picture would have been…
Even if it’s impossible for you actually to quit … How often to you think to yourself, “That’s it. I’m done with the Internet”? Absolutely never. What a ridiculous idea!

The corner has to be jacked up and the corbel repaired or replaced. But that corner is over the junction of two lower roofs. There’s simply no place to set a jack or even safely wedge a prop to hold the sagging structure. The Monk’s solution: A lever made of two laminated 2x4s. We had plenty of scrap wood of various sizes to hold…
Yet they’re now pushing ahead with rule changes (the infamous bump-stock ban) based on weapons whose interior workings they never saw. Not allowed to see. By whom? How? Why? What’s the term for this form of government? Bad (of course). Bureaucratic. Arbitrary. Stupid. Fiat-driven. Incompetent. Tyrannical. Agenda-based. Incompetently arbitrary. Arbitrarily incompetently fiat-driven. Of the Star Chamber. Evil. Incompetently arbitrarily evil. On the other hand, you’ve got to love an email that opens, “Oh, and I sued the FBI yesterday, as well …” Len Savage (writer of said email) and Stephen Stamboulieh, attorney extraordinaire, are on the case once again.
