    Young people never learn

    2016: "I'm not voting for Hillary! What's the worst that could happen?"

    2017-2021 + SCOTUS:

    While I agree that the young people of today need to open their eyes and realize that denying support for Biden over Trump over a single issue will likely result in the Trump being elected again, I am afraid that you'll have to pin the 2017-2021 national nightmare on folks like me who voted Libertarian or those who could not vote for either R or D candidate in 2016. My dumb ass pretty much voted all R in national elections since my first vote (Reagan '84). My eyes were opened the day after the 2016 election. I have never voted an official straight ticket until the 2018 election cycle when I voted straight D despite not supporting all D policies. We have to stem the tide of the Neo-fascists even if we have to hold our noses to vote for a candidate that may mot be perfect but is at least not GQP or GOP who refuse to grow a spine and continue to allow GQP issues to be presented as truth.

    Okay, I had to figure out what the hell was going on here. It looks like there's a subculture in India that likes to trick out bikes with shit and, apparently, attaching lots of fucking horns is part of that.

     

    LOL, my first thought was fans for a “turbo” boost.  What’s up with the Longhorn jersey, though? Wonder if he is a foreign student home on break, just a fan of Texas Football, or was this a replica jersey from our 2009/10 national championship game that was distributed internationally.

    Seat is heating up for MB.  A lot of Mack’s greatest hits quoted. Felt like I was reading a Red River Recap. 
     

    Here is the summary paragraph from the article:

    “Athletic director Bubba Cunningham will have to find a replacement for Brown eventually whether Brown retires on his own or is forced out. Yes, he's one of the few active national championship winning coaches and will always have a special place in Tar Heel history, but this was never meant to be a permanent solution. The grass might not be greener after he's gone, but the culture at Carolina needs a different shade of blue whether he stays or goes.”

    Those talons.  Someone looks like they just got their nails done.  

    We have a mating pair of hawks in our neughborhood. Our dog often finds disemboweled rabbits in our backyard. One evening she was barking constantly at a tree along our fence line and couldn’t be distracted. I thought there might be a squirrel or raccoon she had treed. I went to go distract her and saw a decapitated and disemboweled rabbit hanging from the branches.

  5. My wife just played the show podcast. I was blown away to learn that Dita Beard was portrayed by Kathleen Turner. I did not recognize her.

     

    Also, I will add another voice to the chorus that Theroux has Liddy’s voice nailed down.

     

    According to at least one Watergate historian the Project Gemstone pitch is pretty close to real life with the biggest exception was that Hunt was not there.

    The damn robot being sad and wanting to stay at the home to make sure Marva wasn't coming back. Like a dog waiting on his master to return. The writing is so good. I wonder what happened along the way to make him such a scared robot. When they did the flashback to when Marva and Klem found Andor, the robot was brave and taking a protective role. Now, he's almost like Andor's little kid brother. I have the feeling that changes next week during her funeral and he somehow sacrifices himself to save Andor.

    That would break me 

    Yeah, can’t help but feel sad for the droid. Although, I had to laugh when I realized his name is literally “be too emo” - B2EMO. The poor little guy can’t help it.

    For some reason I haven’t seen any stories about some random UM fans describing the incredible hospitality of aggy, when they were looking for their seats or trying to find their lost car. But there are stories of UM players and some Broadcasters bragging on aggy…

    truly unique and special.

    The Peppermill is like the one bright spot in all of Reno.

    Yosemite is a pretty long haul from Reno.  I don't think you can drive down, do the park, and drive back to Reno or Tahoe in a day.   Most of the cool stuff is on the west end so you'd want to enter from there.  All of the 'shortcuts' you see on the map are windy mountain roads.  But I don't think you have to worry about snow in late Oct.

    Thanks. We were thinking of going from Reno to Stateline on Friday night. Someone had mentioned a couple of hour drive to Yosemite. Now that I have looked, we would probably be looking closer to a 4-5 hour drive to the valley to see El Capitan. I am hoping that snow won't put a damper on the ability to drive around. I am guessing any camping in Yosemite has been reserved many months in advance.
