  1. I made it to Marion, OH by about 1:30. Stopped at a Speedway to relieve myself. I was heading toward the fairgrounds but then I was passing by Harding High School and noticed an almost empty parking lot with these two ladies parked and sitting in their chairs. There are only a few other cars in the lot. I’m counting 9 total not including mine. It’ll probably fill up more by eclipse time but I got a good spot close to the exit for easy getaway. Eclipse glasses passed the test. I’m ready to go.

    Here are my neighbors:

    I’ve sleep walked through this whole thing. Easiest way to safely view the eclipse with common household items? 

    Maybe this has been covered, but if you don’t want to stand under a tree, you can make a pinhole camera of sorts. Punch a small hole in a piece of heavy stock paper or cardboard and let the sun project through that onto a sheet of paper and watch the eclipse that way. If you’re in the path of totality, you can look up when the sun is completely covered. Watching just the corona is safe and I’m betting it will be pretty fucking awesome. Just look away again as soon as the sun peaks out.

    I’m going to tape a filter over mine and do a time lapse.  Or if it’s just clouds I’ll take the filter off and maybe have some cool looking clouds. 

    I’m going to leave the photography to the professionals and just watch the eclipse. I heard someone on tv yesterday say watch your first eclipse, photograph your second one, so if you’ve been through this before then have at it. But the guy said he’s seen people so busy looking at their cameras that they miss the eclipse and then don’t even get a good photo.

    I am considering just turning on the video on my phone and pointing it randomly at the crowd to document their reactions while we all watch. Hopefully we’ll get clear skies. The forecast everywhere I look is partly cloudy. It’s clear right now.

    I know the preferred choice is him dropping dead before the election but how sweet would it be for him to be in prison after another Biden ass kicking and him seeing a viral recording of Pete Davidson plowing Melania & Ivanka to orgasmic bliss?

    What’s happened to Pete Davidson that he’d ever settle for those skanks? Make it Michael Cohen. Or better yet, Hunter Biden.

    I see atomheartbevo had the same thought.

    Having a relatively normal human person in office means they work with others and follow direction, even as simple as an Easter Bunny photo op.

    “wait for the First Lady to be ready and when we cue you, please join the bunnies on the balcony. Then just wave to the crowd.”

    Now do that 10,000 more times, sometimes with meetings with foreign adversaries and intelligence briefings. Having Trump wing being President, like a strange uncle visiting for Christmas is not optimal.

    Went with a frozen pizza for dinner.  Pulled it out of the oven and cut it into 8 pieces.  Turns out the amount of Cholula left in the bottle was only enough for 7 slices.  Managed to push through the pain and consume the last piece.

    Get some crushed dried peppers to put on your pizza.

  7. Posting this a day early because I won’t have time to do it tomorrow. This will be my driving music on my way to a deeper spot in the path of totality tomorrow. (I might be ably to stay home and get 43 seconds of totality but I don’t trust that. I’m going to drive and try to get at least 3 minutes, hopefully more.)

    If you want to get right to the heart of the matter, check out how the second set ends. What a combo:

     

  8. 41-yd rush by Mataeo Durant gets them to the 11. A couple more Mataeo runs and they’re on the 3 with about :25 left. Take a couple steps backward and fall down to set up the FG. Stoops about to go down. 

    With :02 left, the FG is good. St. Louis wins 27-24.

  9. Wide right! Arlington misses the FG! Still tied with 1:55 left. St. Louis, led by AJ McCarron, has a chance to win it. 

  10. Didn’t know there was a game tonight. Tuned in midway through the 4th. It’s now tied with 3:17 left and Arlington has the ball in St. Louis territory.

    MO ex-Proud Boy who wore ‘Right Wing Death Squad’ cap to Capitol on Jan. 6 found guilty

    A southeast Missouri man with ties to the Kansas City-area Proud Boys pleaded guilty Wednesday to two felonies involving the Capitol riot and was found guilty by a judge on a third felony count.

    Nicholas Kennedy, 43, of Sikeston, entered a guilty plea in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to one count of civil disorder and one count of tampering with records, documents or other objects. And Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly found him guilty of a felony count for obstruction of an official proceeding based on an agreed set of facts between the government and Kennedy’s attorneys.

    Kennedy’s sentencing has been scheduled for Aug. 28. He faces a likely sentence of between 18 months and 24 months in prison, but could be subject to a maximum of 20 years in prison on two of the felony charges.

     Nice that they included a pic of him flashing the white power sign.

    But most of the perps were white?

    Not most. All. Even the guy holding the “Blacks for Trump” sign was white. Find one dark-skinned member of that gang and he’s the exception to the rule.

    The problem was that the guy responsible for defending the Capitol wanted them to succeed so he left it undefended. Guard it like he guarded national monuments during BLM protests and things would’ve turned out differently.

    One of the things that triggered my ex was when someone, generally on tv, would pronounce “decor” as “daycor”

    They were saying “décor,” and that’s how you say it.
