My daughter in Tucson is taking a welding class. Not plumbing or construction welding; welding art pieces, typically from scrap metal. This is her second project. Second. As in, " she has only done one other project."
Just for fun I took the %drop so far today and extrapolated that % per day. Worth a penny on June 26. His 78.8 million shares will be worth less than what he owes in judgements in under 10 days. Not only does the grift fail to save his sorry butt, it also fleeces his true believers of billions that just evaporate. Some will have picked up a few bucks, but it's like passing a roach around; some get a good puff but at the end it's all gone. Of course it may level out at maybe $0,45
Finally used up the last of my habenero crop from last year. These were frozen: some during the high yield period in early fall, some just prior to first killing freeze, picked green & ripened in containers. I fermented 9 days, processed last evening when rain drove me off from landscaping. Pure habenero is the BEST hot sauce. Flavorful, leaves you with a warm glow all over. I also grew tabascos last year, but birds ate most. I'll try again but protect with wire mesh. #gardening #peppers
The best insults are the ones that go over the insulted head, but not those of the audience. I expect to use this a lot! In fact, I'm printing it out for my wall.

I saw it when i woke up at 6:30 and checked the Blink camera o see if feral cat "Shadow" was there. Spoke via camera speaket. Turn sound on for video.
🧵 I met Joe Biden in December, 2007 when I drove to Iowa to work on his campaign in any capacity they would have me. I worked in DuBuque office making phone calls. He visited a nearby town for a campaign event at a roadhouse. I was sent there to help set up chairs, banners, etc. I was told his small motorcade of 3 SUVs was on the way, and I should go stand in parking lot by the road to wave and make sure they knew this was the place. I did, they did, local folks came out to

greet. I stood off to the side watching. The crowd of 8-10 people headed for the restaurant, but after several strides Joe saw me, broke away, came over, hand outstretched, saying "Don! I'm so glad you could come!" He had spotted the stick-on volunteer nametag. We shook hands, spoke a few sentences (I have NO idea what!) and headed for the restaurant, just us two guys. I ended up standing in back with Jill and Beau while he spoke
The love and pride from his family was palpable. #BetOnBiden 2/

Next day he spoke to a gathering in Dubuque. I ended up being a "body man" as his brother Joe and I stood on each side as he spoke from a podium. We were informal crowd control.
I STOOD ELBOW TO ELBOW WITH JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN AS HE GAVE A STUMP SPEECH AND TOOK QUESTIONS!
Many questions were about personal issues like what about my special needs daughter. He would give a policy statement but then, with the person at the #BetOnBiden

So today I bit the bullet and opened an account on x formerly twitter. I left 14 months ago and have no interest in the d*** thing. But there was someone I wanted to contact. I don't have any contact for them except I know they're on xtwitter. I created a burner email account to validate the thing and got logged in. What a cesspool! Aside ftom all the gory posts and rah rah trump comments, i got followed within an hour by two different accounts with profile pics of lovely young ladies.
@dbc3 I keep a burner account to track the site for news coverage and don’t post ANYTHING, but I’ve gotten 100+ porn bot followers in the past few months
I was working in DC when Dr. King was assasinated. Next morning demonstrations erupted all over the country. Fom my office bldg 2 blocks from White House we saw smoke rising from several locations across the city. Office closed; we walked to Pentagon to get a bus as traffic in the city was frozen. Walked through groups of demonstrators. Stores were burned and looted. On day 3 James Brown came, climbed on a car roof on F Street and implored everyone to go home.
They did.
"In at least one recent conversation with allies, Trump slammed her for not withdrawing, using an epithet pejorative to women while describing her perceived disloyalty."
Come on, TheGuardian! Report it. Don't tap dance around it. The man is a raving misogynist among his many other egregious faults. STOP PULLING PUNCHES!
I highly recommend yesterday's Keith Olbermann;s Countdown podcast episode for an illustration of how to not pull punches.
"....Trump has smeared E. Jean Carroll, Hillary Clinton, Judge Chutkan, and every other woman who has ever stood in the way of something he thought life owed him. That the list of women he's treated as not quite human should range from Hillary to Taylor to E. Jean is not a stretch. There are many things desperately mentally wrong with Dementia J. Trump but his virulent antipathy towards women - and the misogynistic cancer he has spread within his cult - is as bad as anything else."
