    As I recall, the language of the EO was only prospective in nature (at least at this point) (presumably to protect Barron, the cyber).

    OK, that was my understanding as well. Just never know what's coming down the pike with that fucking reptile Miller trying to create a white America.

  2. Wife. She was born in the US, so I don't know if she technically gained citizenship through birthright or through some other means at the time of adoption.

  3. 1.2 million acres today (plus weakened protections of 58 million additional acres with the rescinded roadless rule), NWRs, NFs and NPs tomorrow.

    I think anyone who lives in Texas and gives the tiniest shit about the outdoors would agree that more federal lands is preferable to our situation, where over 96% of the land is privately held.

    Ok, I decided I’m going to go volunteer at PCT Days in Cascade Locks (Oregon/Washington border) in August and then hike south on the PCT for a week near Mt Hood. Pretty excited for this section. Get to go through Tunnel Falls and hit Timberline Lodge (exterior hotel shots for The Shining). Should be around 70-75 miles in total.

    I loved this hike. Went with the now-wife in 2016. We woke up early from the Eagle Creek Campground and did a total of about 12 miles out-and-back. Hardly saw anybody before our turn-around spot. There were at least a half-dozen waterfalls on that 6-mile stretch.

    I think there was a fire out there a year or two after we did it, so I'm curious how it looks now. It was incredibly green when we went.

  5. The 3 year-old was watching a show about some Australian zoo. They showed a bilby (see below if you're marsupial-illiterate), which he referred to as a "bunny pig". Pretty spot-on observation, honestly.

  6. This is one of those "great moments in Surly history" threads. But instead of a single post revealing a fetish, or posting a paystub, or analyzing hotel curtains and eliciting a day or two of hilarious responses, this one provides seemingly endless amusement and intrigue.

    Hats off to you and @mooseoutfront for two of the best ongoing threads on this website.

    Israel needs a strategic bomber. Surely we have something in mothballs we can sell them. But we did the heavy lifting here. Should make for cool TV for a couple days. 

    And that's what foreign policy is all about! Can't wait for a couple days of cool TV to carry us closer to football season!

    There’s a party store in Oak Cliff that sells Trump piñatas. Not sure where this is but it’s funneh.
     

    Here was ours from NYE 2016

  9. The 3 year-old has suddenly started with the incessant "why" questions. He was also climbing all over me while I gave the baby a bottle this morning and when I told him he was being a distraction he said "I'm not being distraction, I'm being perfect."

    Another view.

     

    Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of your enemies like a tank rolling down an empty street sounding like a poorly maintained huffy 10-speed.

  11. Crazy that this will be my 4th father's day, with a freshly turned 3 year-old and 8 month-old.

    My life has largely been stay-at-home dad since the first one came, and that period is likely coming to an end before long. Taking care of 2 little boys is not complicated, but it has been varying degrees of exhausting, rewarding, aggravating, joyous, boring, nostalgic, terrifying and ever-changing. 

    I never missed babyhood with the oldest, since we always expected a 2nd and the he was never easy. But now that the 2nd is running out of days in the baby carrier attached to my chest, it's crazy to think that this period of our lives is almost over.

    With the growing number of cunts holding positions of leadership in our country, my wife is letting me say “cunt” a lot more often.

    I dropped a c-bomb to my wife regarding Nancy Mace today. I regretted it only because the 3 year-old was around and he's more than happy to imitate these days.
