  1. It's been a while, but Sundevich is a good sandwich place for lunches and is close by.  I haven't been, but I've heard nothing but good things about Unconventional Diner, also very close to where you are.  2Fifty mentioned above is good but if you're coming from Texas, you may want something different.

    so, some of y'all will recall that I built a studio on my property that I rent furnished, mostly to travel nurses.  I've had two non-nurses, one IBEW apprentice lineman that was serving a segment of his apprenticeship here locally for 6 months or so, and my current tenant is a civil engineer that is working as a consultant at the nearby desalinization plant. He's leaving soon, so I'm advertising again.  I just got a phone call from an unknown number, and I've had a couple beers, so I didn't answer.  I then got a text asking if I had the unit for rent.  I'm leery as to who is asking, so I always say I have other interested parties (true), etc.   

    I asked the text person "what's your situation?"    Here's the response.

    I am in a home that I have to get out of. It is full of mold two of the world‘s deadliest molds, and it’s affecting me with my epilepsy and paralysis and affecting my dogs with their losing hair not eating, not having bathroom movements and we are just stuck in one room, which I am controlling the air quality in this room and down to the bathroom for the dogs then right back upstairs so I need to get out. They they currently have an eviction notice on me but we have a Escondido city of court compliance that states that this house is in inhabitable and they have to pay for me to be relocated and cannot charge me with any offense due to that relocation so that will take care of the eviction. My attorney say will take care of all that and then they will have not just one but two cases against them. One would be the mold which their lawyer was even kind of aware of it and actually put it in writing that there possibly was a mold hazard, and then also the pain and suffering, and the damage is done to me and my pets along with me falling down the flight of stairs And breaking multiple bones in my foot and in my knee and other cases that are being brought up to the mold testing  but right now I just need to get out. I need to find a place where I can have fresh air for me for my dogs for them to feel comfortable and not just in a cocoon and be able to move around. They are on leashes at all times, but if you did have a like a fenced in area, they would love something like that, but that’s what they were used to when we lived in Maryland, but since we moved back to California they’ve been always unleashes and I do have a daughter that lives here and like I said a son and another daughter who lives in For Huachuca, Arizona so a lot of family here and a lot of very close friends. I worked on Camp Pendleton for six years as paralegal so I am 17 years with paralegal and legal officer in the military and working for the military so I am on my way to get my degree.

     

    So, what's the board's consensus?  Sounds like a dream tenant, right?  Right?

    The Southwest terminal at DCA is like the old Robert Mueller airport.  It's a dump ... but it was a long walk, a bus shuttle, and then a short Metro ride into town.

    You're really insulting the old Mueller airport.  The only good thing about the southwest terminal at DCA is you can see every gate from the bar, but you're fortunate if you can get a seat at the bar.

    Fairly normal distribution, but I’m happy that my 2&3’s outpace my 4&5’s 

    That's an impressive streak too.

    I don't know if anybody has posed this before, but what does everybody's distribution look like? I definitely haven't been as religious about playing as some of you all, but at one point somewhere when they were both in the 100s still I thought I might be able to get birdies to overtake pars, but I'm thinking that's probably sailed. Does anybody have a positive birdie : par ratio?Screenshot_20250501_192107_NYTGames.thumb.jpg.f33b65f1460a91dc0517c146267f9ade.jpg

    Your distribution is really good.  While I've improved my ratio, I'll never get it as close as yours.

    I bet you'll get to keep your arm, but if I'm wrong, demand to keep it and get it taxidermied with maybe some lead weights inserted.

    Then you stick it up the sleeve of your shirt so it looks like a regular arm. Go to your least favorite bar, pick a fight, then seemingly rip your own arm off and just go to town WHALIN on folks with it.

    If you really lose your arm, can you get with Thujone and taxidermy it with that Coop statue arm?  I really hope you keep your arm, but if you don't, that's the next best thing.

  8. Marco Rubio 'upset' as Trump 'sidelines' him from foreign policy decisionmaking: report

    Spoiler

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio feels as though he is being ignored by the Trump administration and excluded from any important foreign policy decisions, reported Gabriel Sherman in a Vanity Fair article published on Tuesday.

    This state of affairs was brought to the forefront by Trump's shouting match with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that saw the latter kicked out of the White House — an incident for which Rubio himself was present and did little talking himself.


    "While Rubio was quick to get in line in the days after the Zelenskyy showdown, the historic confrontation did indeed reveal a fault line inside the administration: Rubio is privately frustrated that Trump has effectively sidelined him," wrote Sherman. "According to four prominent Republicans close to the White House, Rubio, who has been a Russia hawk and Ukraine supporter, has told people he is upset by his lack of foreign policy influence despite being, on paper at least, the administration’s top diplomat."

    The report continued that "One of the sources said they felt as though Rubio is often the last to know when foreign policy decisions are made in the White House."

    Republicans who spoke to Sherman said "Rubio’s unhappiness with Trump was brewing before Zelenskyy’s visit went sideways. Two of the sources said Rubio was caught off guard when Trump appointed nine foreign policy “envoys” with high-profile assignments such as ending the wars in Gaza and Ukraine," and one source told him "that Rubio also disapproved of Trump’s decision to revoke former secretary of state Mike Pompeo’s government security detail."

    Rubio's lack of policy influence is all the more apparent from the fact that when he was in the Senate, he frequently pushed for aid to Ukraine and adopted a much more hawkish stance on the matter than Trump has ever displayed. It is not lost on his former colleagues, with Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) even comparing Marco Rubio's change of heart to being lobotomized.

    Even prior to his confirmation to the role, many career diplomats believed Rubio would struggle in the position, and may not even last beyond a year.

    Unfortunately, it appears Rubio will continue to be Trump's sub.  In the last 24 hours he has blasted critics for criticizing peacemaker Trump and attacked Zelensky for going after Trump and Vance.  Riley io prefers his power.  We are only a month or so in, Rubio will probably be fired at some point but for now he's searching for his spine.

    "jambourine"

    My wife speaks Trixie and I have to interpret for others often   I'm a little stumped on this one.  Did she mean tambourine?  Jamboree?  Jubilee?  How was it used in a sentence?
