Dear real estate agents,

Please tell our agent that you will be showing our house BEFORE surprising us with a visit and setting Hammy's barkage off like a broken car alarm.

Especially only minutes before another agent was coming over.

Kthxbye.

Consideration for the residents is a must. (I lived for a while in a house that was for sale. Had to clear out for showings, but those were mostly on weekdays while I was at work. (It didn't sell. 2006.)

If you're wondering why warranty repairs on your Tesla are taking so long, report that ALL warranty repairs there have to be personally approved by Mr. Musk 😂 https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/1cnp13y/elon_himself_wtf/

I read last year that, at that time, the parts were all going into new cars instead of to repair places (if you could find one).

Pete McCloskey, a California congressman who raised a flag of rebellion against President Richard M. Nixon’s war policies in Vietnam with a spirited but futile race for the Republican presidential nomination in 1972, died on Wednesday at his home in Winters, Calif., west of Sacramento. He was 96.

The one R I voluntarily voted for. 1972, when the Ds and the Rs got together and gerrymandered his district. He went out and walked in the new area, and had a booth at the county fair. Still the only congressperson I've ever met.
He changed parties back in the 90s.

Avocado honey is dark,with a strong flavor. Eucalyptus is good. (The nectar is enough to give you a sugar high. I've tasted it.)

It doesn't smell or taste like eucalyptus, though.

"This Isn’t Justice"

https://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2024/05/this-isnt-justice-legal-experts-blast-cannon-for-postponing-trump-case-indefinitely/

“This is news but it’s hardly unexpected..." Joyce Vance wrote. “Judge Cannon seems desperate to avoid trying this case. This isn’t justice. defendants aren’t the only ones with speedy trial act rights, we the people have them too.”

“After the election,” professor of law and former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter commented, “if Trump wins Jack Smith gets fired, the case gets dismissed, and Judge Cannon is ready for SCOTUS.”

Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.

I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin.
