And I said heeeeey-yay-yay-yaEE, heeeeey-yay-yay... I said hey, what's goiiiiiiin' on!

I'm an incorrigible, and very bad, car singer. That one commercial that was on about 14,657 times an hour a few years ago, the guy belting out "Sweet Caroline" while stuck in traffic, got me busted on big time because I do that too. I've never had the driver of the car next door start singing along, though. Dirty looks, yes.

What's happening? Well, four cops murdered a guy in Minneapolis and now they've called in the national guard. China's dropping the hammer on Hong Kong and preparing to do it to Taiwan, too. The President says the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat. There's a global pandemic. And there's a slim chance that a Falcon 9 with two astronauts aboard will lift off from Cape Canaveral tomorrow afternoon. That's about it.

I got the lawn edged yesterday. And a pigeon just bounced off my window but it looks like he's OK.

We have the stupidest damn mourning doves around here. They're always going inside the chicken run through the welded wire fence but then can't find their way back out. So they fly into the fence over and over face first, and still can't get out.

Pigeons are also known as "rock doves", but that's putting lipstick on a pig if you ask me.

And speaking of mourning doves, every year they try to make a nest on top of the fire extinguisher box next to my front door. Of course that means every time I come or go, they freak out and fly away, which inevitably leads to the nest falling on the ground. Stupid birds!

Yeah, they're good decoys for when the hawks are looking for a chicken dinner. More of an appetizer than an entree, but very plentiful so it's easy to fill up.

What a great community, just pulling together for a common goal, we've got some nasty storms in the area, and I've got my by my side and the last of the tincture I found in my little stash box starting to kick in, so as long as we have power, I am committed to sacrifice my time for the greater good to get this thread off the front page...

:sips:...ahhhh...man, this is tougher than I thought it would be...

EDT: Hey, I think there's a streaming Dead show tonight, so I might sacrifice a little time over there as well...for the common good, of course...

I'm sorry everyone. No matter how many times I post to this thread, it simply will not go away. Which is strange, because it's always worked before - as soon as I post, the thread falls off the page like a wounded rock.

Well, nothing for it but to keep trying!

He was. As a kid Musk was bullied so hard that he once ended up in the hospital after being thrown down a flight of stairs. I hope he has used his money to pay back each and every one of those assholes a thousand times over.

Aw, now, don't blame mjmlabs! Clearly, it is our fault, for none of us being mind readers.

I will post to help this thread fall from the front page. Just doing my part, you know.

Right off the front page? You think we can do it? I suppose if we all hunker down and work together as a team, we might succeed!

I'd call that something that might be illegal in 26 states, rainstorms passed last night, we needed the rain, and it's sunny out and cooler, so I will need to work on the garden, but I will be back to help the community get this off the front page as it's only right and fair to all...

If it's anything to you, as we watched the launch, every time they said, "Nominal", I kept thinking, man, I know that dude...
