  • Never lived in South Carolina? It shows. Road functions. Barely. Then the afternoon rainstorm happens. Then the road fails. Giant pothole, sinkhole, 36 inch tree fell, it’s two feet under water, road no longer exists because it was washed out, bridge suddenly missing. Happens all the time.

    I used to think Hampton Roads / Tidewater was bad with its water depth markers on the edge of roads to let you know if you were about to drive your tail pipe or be completely submerged. But then I moved to Lesser Carolina. Whole new level of difficulty.

    Went to a convention for the weekend. Getting back took four times as long as we had to consult every available live resource to see what roads were open and still existed. Because hurricanes are a thing that happens here.

    So, in summary, fuck yes. Roads fall apart in two days.




  • We have 15 chickens, 5 ducks and, as of this week, six geese[0]. The goose eggs are fertilized but the chicken and duck are not. We have no roosters or drakes because they always cause too much trouble. Roosters attack my wife first thing in the morning and drakes murder mates. So we always end up getting rid of them if that show up. Gun was just to make a ludicrous picture. Although this thing is a muzzle flare suppressed subsonic 22LR so I could fire this thing and the cats wouldn’t even hear anything more than a click of the trigger and the spin of the bullet traveling through the air. So if I did fire it they wouldn’t even care.

    [0] We just rehomed a goose to a local person that had just one goose after a raccoon attack.






  • We now have another “it could never happen here” bingo ball.

    Remember when a secret court found Hilary guilty of whatever? Secret courts have been a favorite of right wing conspiracy theorists for a long time.

    Now we are one step closer. Lawyers for the government are standing before judges without any as accountability because they aren’t giving their names.

    Any judge should hold them in contempt and file a disbarment petition with the bar association if this happens on their watch.

    Secret lawyers are a step closer to secret courts. But for real. Not the conspiracies that we used to laugh at.
