Texas couple donates flowers to assisted living homes after postponing wedding

I've never been to Spain but I have to put it on my "to do" list. There have been a lot of stories like this coming from Spain: Spanish Man Share a Drink With Isolated Neighbors By Filling Their Glasses From Two Floors Above

Family dog protects 3-year-old boy lost in Florida woods until he’s rescued

Start it! This concept was actually started by a kid IIRC. Correction: That was an urban legend. But it's still a nice story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Free_Library

Don't know if many of you have heard of the "Little Free Library" movement. It's a thing in the US, Canada & GB and maybe elsewhere. It's a small house shaped box people build and place in communities where people can take and leave books. Well, with everything going on people are putting groceries, TP, and other such in them: You know, most folks are pretty decent I think. If you give them a chance to be. More:

As "how we met" stories go, this one is tough to beat: https://www.boredpanda.com/american-meets-girl-quarantine-drone-jeremy-cohen/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BPFacebook&fbclid=IwAR02IMe45-azB8kkLMirkHd1egLY6_deHllR_T8IsEn4vxsebbgjc6wF97U

A doctor, an engineer, and a politician were having lunch at a country club. The conversation turned to who had the smartest dog. The discussion led to a wager between the three. The doctor whistled to his dog and said "Hippocrates, do your stuff". Hippocrates ran out to the front lawn of the club, dug around for a while, and returned with a mouth full of bones. He then arranged the bones into a replica of a human skeleton. "Good dog Hippocrates!" Said the doctor and he rewarded his dog with a cookie. The engineer nodded, impressed, and then whistled for his dog. "Sliderule," he called "do your thing." Sliderule ran over to the bones, chewed them into shape and arranged them into a scaled replica of the Golden Gate Bridge. "Good dog Sliderule" the engineer said and he rewarded his dog with a cookie. The politician finally called out to his dog "Hey BS, do your thing!" BS ran into the room, bit the waiter, sodomized the other two dogs, stole and ate their cookies, auctioned off the Golden Gate Bridge to the other club members and used the money to buy himself a round of golf.

Well, I haven't left my home in 17 days but today.... gotta go out. Going to Tractor Supply in Covington because the 60/40 pressure switch on my well crapped out. But... I am prepared!

Trump suggests we stop doing handshakes altogether: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/trump-suggests-americans-shouldn-t-221802199.html I'm game I guess. But how can we ever be sure the other fellow isn't armed? Please tell me someone else gets that

Take care of yourself Azdeus!

She was pretty hot back then

We could do worse... probably will. The only thing I know for certain is that an utter fool will become President on Jan 2 2021. That is as sure as death and taxes. Oh yes, another certainty coming; four more years of hearing me say "Don't blame me I voted for ___"

So picture this.... You have been dating this girl for a while now. You've treated her well. You've been there for her through good times and bad. You have been loyal and faithful, always taken her side. You two have had some good times together. But the day comes, despite everything you've done right, when she keeps making eyes at other guys. And you know... just know she will take one of them home on night and leave you at the bar. Ever had that happen? Joe Biden knows how you feel! : Could Andrew Cuomo Walk Away From A Brokered Convention With the Nomination?

I heard this yesterday and got a laugh out of it: "Kenny Rogers ducking out in the middle of the COVID-19 Apocalypse is the ultimate 'know when to fold 'em' moment!"

That sounds really good. The one I made was not nearly so complex. But it has jalapenos in it.

I had a two hour conference call for work. Then spent another hour cost auditing. Always fun. Then worked in the garden, cleaned the solar panels, collected some eggs and played OOTP. Now I'm thinking of making some black bean soup and cornbread for dinner.

Do you remember Reagan's faux pas about Born in the USA? He was a one of the "so many" that misunderstood the story that song tells.

When I think of anti-war songs I usually think of Bob Dylan. Well, this might be the most effective one I've ever heard.

@Gromnir IIRC that song is included in a mod for FONV that expands the radio stations playlists. More Where That Came From is the title I think. It's been a long time since I played it. Maybe too long. It also added Hank Williams "Lost Highway" which fit the mood brilliantly IMO.

I spent the day sitting on my porch, listening to SiriusXM and just watching the sun trace it's arc through the sky. It was time well spent.

Anyone who would trade essential liberty for temporary safety deserves neither and will have neither.

Somewhere in the darkness, the Gambler he broke even

Ok, that is all I have
