Guard Dog

Picked up a hitchhiker last night. He said "Thanks. How did you know I wasn't a serial killer?" I replied "The chances of two serial killers being in the same car are pretty low!"

I have 10 fat red and juicy sweet homegrown watermelons sitting on my counter. Today I am making watermelon wine.

I see you work at one of those companies where the two are separate and mutually exclusive things.

Whose IPA is the best? I have a hard time arguing against Goose Island.

Now reading this. It's sort of a combination of my own interest and professional interest: Also reading this: A little light reading of German/Russian espionage in the 1930's

You may change your mind once you tried what I'm gonna make!

You need to pack the family up and move out of that suburban hell. If you live out in the sticks going fishing may be nothing more than a short, pleasant walk. ´Soo much this. I've got a hundred metres to the lake. It's awesome for warm days too. GD, did you ever share any images of where you live? A few over the years. I posted a picture of Sunny chasing ducks where Cold Creek meets the Lauderdale river a few weeks ago. I KNOW I've posted coyote pics. Edit: I guess I haven't Azdeus. The only pic of the house was back when it was being built almost 9 years ago. The coyote was in my front yard.

This week I picked the last of the veggies in the garden. I kept what I wanted and packed the rest into hampers. As soon as my coffee is done I'm heading to the farmers market. It's weird looking out and seeing the field empty now. Tomorrow I'll turn the soil and leave it be until next month when I do the fall plant. When I go the the farmers market I need to buy a bushel of jalapenos. I planted two full rows of strawberries and now I have 400 or so fat red strawberries. I'm making preserves, strawberry chips in the dehydrator, strawberry bread, and this: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/180695/jalapeno-strawberry-jam/ That is going to be awesome!

Don't try to fool me into believing in your imaginary planets by misdirecting me. You said Alpha Centauri, not Proxima Centauri, the next door neighbor.

What sucks is I guess it's something you really don't have control over. You could fake it I guess and fool people but you can't fool yourself.

I guess my brain is just wired differently. Over the course of my life I could go bummer to bummer with most anyone but despite all that I'm basically between feeling fine to mostly happy most of the time.

What the hell is going on with suicides lately? Two celebrities in a week and it has become the 10th highest cause of death in the US. In some states it's the highest non-natural cause. It's heartbreaking.

Happy for Ovechkin. Otherwise ambivalent. I don't like the Caps much. The Panthers fired Gerard Gallant. WTF?? Really? WTF? Obviously he wasn't the problem. They went in the tank and he went to the Stanly cup finals. F-----g Panthers.

Is someone considered prejudiced if they hate everyone equally? Asking for a friend.

Doh! I was thinking more "don't deport them and invite them to church here". But we could go your way too.

Not really a theological take here but if you'll indulge me. So the christian right which is a firm supporter of Trump ( if you think that is rife with logical contradictions wait until you see where I'm going with this) right? Right. So they are among the groups cheering illegal immigrant families being broken up and sent back to wherever the hell they came from. Right? Right. Those same Trump supporters are then donating to churches who are funding missionaries to go to those same countries there folks are getting shipped to. Am i the only one who sees a lot opportunity to same money and airline miles here?

I think I'm in love! https://youtu.be/9DIRLRjxBg8

Politics or humor? I couldn't decide but Gfted1 sounds like he needs a laugh soooo:

Humph! You do realize there is no proof there are any planets around that star right. In fact SCIENCE has PROVEN there are no planets around Alpha Centauri B. Yet here you are believing in your little fairy tales about mythical planets. You've never been to Alpha Centauri, you've never seen any planets there so don't go giving me your superstitious nonsense. I've never been there but I KNOW there are no planets because a scientist (some guy named Dumusque whose never been there either) said so.

You all realize we've had this discussion before right?
