Last time I heard that song sung live was when I was maybe 15, from the losing side of a pinecone fight.

Yeah. Well. Vampires look like death warmed over, and those dudes sit around in New Orleans mansions speaking French for centuries.

That DC Military Parade Being Out-of-Step: They aren't. It is an officially non-step step called "Route Step." You use it when you've got to march a unit cross-country and you don't give a rip about how you look. If, somewhere along the way, you were to pass in review before a respected commander, yeah, the column would probably switch to "Forward March" with various guys skipping to get back into step. If those troops were doing route step miles away from the President, might seem normal. If they were in front of him, seems odd.

I went to the No Kings Birmingham rallying point, which was away from the actual downtown, over in the Industrial Wastelands flats. I believe that it was the only open lot in that area not currently or formerly occupied by a brewery. Maybe it will become a brewery in the future. The crowd (maybe a thousand?) were mostly people you might meet in breweries. I believe they may have later marched past some breweries, but I was gone.* There was no foolish redneckery while I was there. For Maga, Birmingham is Mordor. *The spins. The woozles. Inability to stand up or maintain conversation. Blood sugar and pressure both tanked. Kindly nurses fed me Welch's Fruit Snacks and I had the strength to find my car, where I died, so they strapped El Cid's body in the seat and slapped it on the rear quarter panel and it drove me home.

"...the Marines did not realize..." With all love for my attack dog brothers, I bet those five words will be getting a workout in news reports.

No doubt. Your job is to heal up so you can tag in when the rest of us keel over.

I was gonna be a passive wretch and stay home because it's raining buckets in Birmingham and is projected to do so past 6:15 when the event starts, but this is the part in the movie when [drum beat] I look across the storm and see @PenelopeWitherspoon and all the New Yorkers marching in a downpour, then [drum beat] I hear a groan and see @MissingInAction trying to crawl forward to retrieve a fallen flag but [rising synthesizer tone bc something dramatic is gonna happen] I suddenly realize we Cancer Bros fear NOTHING and I LEAP UP, [Blue Steel Expression] then I realize, hell it's more than two hours away. No point going out there and getting wet, yet.

Might as well-- he was probably just a paid substitute for a rich planter.

I was "Uniformed Armed Security" when I was peak scrawny maybe 20. Imagine giving a revolver and mace to Beavis or Butthead. The Mission: protect a UPS station in Selmont (the bad side of Selma. Think "Miniature Memphis.") They would lock me out every night with a key that didn't work. I managed to break in twice without damaging anything (December night shift weather being an encouragement) then I would leave them a written report of how I did it. Eventually we sorted out the key, and I was free to dawdle. Mace does not affect stink bugs. If you get some on your finger, maybe wash it before you rub your eye.

Look at Centro on GuadaLOOP. Hum a tune from 2001 back when it was already a coffee shop but seems like it was a different name. My last Austin hang-out before I shifted to a new career of annoying bartenders in other countries. Anyway, main thing I remember is they had loyalty cards where you'd get a freebie after so many stamps. Invariably when I go in for the freebie, my server would be a young woman who would refuse to give me black coffee and would badger me into whatever her favorite birthday-cake-dumped-into-a-cup was. I pretty much always folded. No idea where I got the money for boughten coffee.

Ordering up 700 Marines is like ordering 700 french fries at McDonalds, just not done. They come in units. (Given a serious plan, sure, you could interview until you had 700 with some particular views, but no, this is last-minute flip-shit-at-the-wall.) Back to likely scenarios, whichever Infantry Battalion that last pissed off the post commander's wife will see a sudden change of training. Also units like Motor Pool and various Support staff. Say about 2/3 sitting on their butts, 1/3 doing law n order shit, one or two ticking time-bombs that hopefully don't blow.
