    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    Before the "incident", Bernie came a couple of times to the factory in which I was an engineer to perform source inspections on electrical equipment before it was shipped to power plants being built in NYC. He worked as a contractor to a large engineering company. I had lunch with him once, and...

    The diving community has known how to successfully do these dives safely for many years. I have no problem with pushing the boundaries to further knowledge and technology, but this dive was nothing but a stunt.

    I'm not a fan of extremely dangerous stunt dives that accomplish nothing and add nothing useful to our knowledge of diving. Many here don't know about or remember the death of Sheck trying this at Zacaton. The world lost a really brilliant mind to this nonsense.

    CA says no to charging electric cars

    Here in PA, it's easy to pay that much for propane if you're stupid. I own my propane tank and can shop any supplier who will come here. I'm pretty close to a community that lives on propane and won't connect to the grid, and they are more than happy to sell me propane at a price that is fair...

    So Which Is It? Amps Or Volts?

    Those could be my old 16mm film friends Vicky Volt, Andy Ampere, and I think Oscar (maybe Otto?) Ohm.

    Feds release the real purpose of the balloon.

    Ms Stadium doesn't want to play a drinking game, and I go down on her when he says "previous administration" and she goes down on me when he says "MAGA" was another failed game idea, so we just decided to play a little later without an idiot involved.

    I heard her talk on the radio today, It seems that the number of women on the surfing tour is reltively small and that none of the women are happy with the tour's decision to include trans people. This sounds like a business opportunity to me.

    When I lived in rural SC, there was a simple code: If it was after dark and your porch light was on, visitors were welcome. In the daytime, if your main front door was open and only the storm door was closed, visitors were welcome. Unless it was something really important, you didn't bother...

    Damn Telemarketer's

    If I'm feeling sporty and take the call, I ask the telemarketer if she/he sucks cock. They usually hang up, but years ago I had a woman get indignant and tell me I can't talk to her like that. I told her she called me, and the easy solution was to not do that. I'm always prepared to get more...

    A couple of times when I got up to play pool, my brother told the bartender I asked him to send a drink from me to one of the bigger girls in the bar. I'd come back from my game and sit down, and have someone I didn't know smiling and waving at me.

    Anyone Making Money on a Small Acreage Parcel?

    We have a 12 acre place. 1 field is leased for haying, but we take most of the payment in hay to feed our animals in the winter. We have chickens and ducks and sell some eggs, but that is pocket change. Dairy goats are a lot of work and need some specific local market conditions. Bees are a...

    Juneteenth set up for early failure

    In SC, when the legislature made MLK day a holiday, they also made Confederate Veterans Day a holiday.
