@dolmansaxlil Happy Belated Birthday!

@kluurs, but you are winning simply by fact of continuing to run. Many of the younger set quite probably look at you with admiration though they may not say so. Your presence is felt, I'm sure.

Great indeed!

titivating…

@wtg that was a great read, thank you for posting it! My step father was a huge fan of comics in general (and he loved all that merch, the coffee mugs, the t-shirts etc) and he was a pretty big fan of Calvin and Hobbes. I always looked at the Sunday comics growing up and then whenever I had access to a paper. I can't remember when I stopped following Calvin and Hobbes closely (probably when I started studying Japanese and basically stopped consuming English language media of almost all kinds). But I have a vague memory of people talking about the comic ending. I googled and I do remember seeing this last strip. [image: CH.jpg]

And Trump has also found a way to save Hezbollah for Iran.

@CHAS said: I am younger than Biden and Trump. I don't find that to be particularly encouraging. Beats the alternative.

@jon-nyc It is ok folks. Consider the source. Mr. Purity lol

Don't bother They're here

@wtg said: As you say, better in someone else's yard. Yep! BTW I have been monitoring the lack eyed susan's in the front of our house, and I'm convinced that the animal doing the eating is a deer. The reason I think that is because the spots that are eaten are in the middle of the bunch, as if a large creature walked up and bent their head down from a height, rather than at the edges, as you might expect with a small creature sitting low to the ground and chewing at that height. This is my current "plant detector" analysis. I remain hopeful that there will still be blooms come July

The perversion of unfettered capitalism. It's been plainly clear for years and years and years that the inevitable outcome of this system--left unchecked--is a concentration of wealth into very few hands. Meanwhile, in the US, children are left hungry, 90% of the citizens experience financial insecurity, ad nauseating lib. It's gross. Not because of the people who are rich (although so very many of them can be held up as examples of uncaring greed), but because unbridled capitalism is a seriously flawed system. Some day we will overcome the economic destruction ushered in by Reagan.
