I think we should ignore MJ’s shit poat.
Who is with me?
I’m commenting here, because I told MJ to shut up.
If we keep commenting, Pupster, we win by default.

Glad to see you’re on board, MJ.
It’s a tad retro, MJ.
I think you’re hanging out with Sean too much.
New poat!

Sorry MJ, I gotta go with Pupster too, who generously offered to help out with one of our meat-ups.
(And this despite the fact that he is a reprehensible low-life Ohio State fan whom I would normally refuse to associate with.)
I have an internal soundtrack that plays background music in my head. Kind of like an ear-worm deal, but more invasive. It can be triggered by just about anything,but not usually by hearing the song. I don’t really listen to music much anymore, so most of the time it’s a phrase that I hear that reminds me of a song and it just starts playing in my head. Not the whole song, usually just a snippet. It happens the most when I’m under stress.
Today’s selection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB6opQ6ldyE
I might be a little crazy.
Nice job outta Big Blew Basketball on Sunday, Batman. The one time I could actually support you guys winning and they give up the final 6 points and lose to Indiana.

Good morning Mundane. I don’t think I’ve met you yet.

Listening to a recording of Mika hyperventilating about how sugar is ‘poison,’ and we have a duty to protect people from themselves.
I can’t even believe this hysterical bitch.
She’s a little rich girl. Am I supposed to actually believe she never had an array of sweet treats available to her as a child? Does she think her parents poisoned her? Am I supposed to believe she never ever has sweets now as an adult?
Save us from these drama queen control freak assholes.
If red meat is so good for me how come I have to keep eating it or it troubles you going down?
Making HCl and the needed enzymes for red meat is somewhat metabolically expensive, so your body may dial it up or down based on frequency of intake.
OTOH (topical!), if I haven’t had red meat in a week or two and suddenly take in a vast amount of it in a sitting, I feel amazing (and randy) and usually sleep like a baby. So maybe it’s just because you’re a woman.
Sugar is poison, so is nicotine, alcohol, and wheat. Government oughtta back the hell off of all of them, and a few others besides, and maybe get out of the nutritional recommendation bidness at the same time.
My tummy still hurts.

Mika, you mean Chirpy McMorningJoechatterblonde?

Also, re: red meat. Digestion is work. Sometimes your body don’t wanna work when you’re asleepin.
* with apologies to idiots
My tummy still hurts.
You might also have induced some temporary hypochloridia by drinking too much water or other liquids. It’s probably too late for HCl supplementation or digestive enzyme supplementation to be of much use.

MJ, which island?
Lesson Nummer Eleventy why the government is incompetent:
Our regular letter carrier needs knee surgery. So he decided to retire. Only, he had so many sick days and vacation days accumulated that he’s taking them, then retiring.
The local postmaster can’t put his route up for bids until he actually retires, so we’ve been having substitutes every day. Once a week on average for the past six weeks we have not been getting our mail, because the subs have to learn a new route every day.
I don’t fault our regular guy, because he’s just riding the gravy train that his union got for him.
Who would ever run a company like this?
It’s like “Fuck you, my hands are tied.”

St Thomas. Living there is not like vacationing, or living here for that matter.
Do not inflate Happy Fun People to a pressure greater than 80 psi. Overinflation may lead to bursting and injury.
So, are these islands populated by whores, or are the land masses themselves of low virtue?

My understanding is that the tax rate is the same as the US. The company is located there for tax purposes, though. Hence the residency and 2 year commitment.

Discontinue use of Happy Fun People if any of the following occurs:

Either way, I would accept the challenge.
Skin contact with Happy Fun People may cause hot, itchy rashes. Use gloves when handling Happy Fun People.
Happy Fun People may not be disposed of in the regular trash. Call your municipal or county waste collection center for instructions on how to dispose of Happy Fun People.
Happy Fun People may contain peanuts.
Happy Fun People may stick to certain types of skin.

WARNING – HUFFPOON LINK
When not in use, Happy Fun People should be returned to their special container and kept under refrigeration. Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun People, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company, Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability.
If Happy Fun People begin to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

Fuck them, their staffs and the nepotism they engage in.
Hotspur, I didn’t write the post.
And other than the whole World War II thing, and killing a few million Chinese, and bombing Pearl Harbor, and suicidal fanaticism killing a couple hundred thousand Americans, I don’t really have anything against the Japanese.
Either way, I would accept the challenge.

Chief, I can’t agree that money is being lavished on veterans and their families. Especially when he misrepresents what pay and benefits mean, compared to civilian life.

Well, that factor didn’t stop you from posting all of the best German BBs.
Oh, wait, sorry. I missed the part about you not writing the poat. My bad.
I will agree with one of the commenters; we have entirely too many general and flag officers. Hell, the Navy has 1/3 more flags than ships. Idiocy.
Don’t look now, but it’s snowing out.
I’m not looking, but I’m pretty sure you’re wrong.

yeah, lauraw is adorable in her drawing and quartering kind of ways. The oozing pustule part, not so much.
He’s going to the VI, for cryin’ out loud, not a moon of Jupiter.
They have internet there.
The VIs are not that far away and I’m pretty sure they have internets.
But…I thought you said you loved my oozing pustules?
I know. Jeez.
*worries that lauraw has sent monkeys. Looks into the distance…
He came from a moon of Jupiter called ‘Lilliput’.
That wasn’t me, laura. It was wiser. He likes to season the rim of his ‘margarita’ with your hump juice, when you aren’t looking.
When MJ is living in the VI, will all drink recipes have rum?

I read the Sarah Hoyt article. It just confirmed what I already knew.
Carin might become certifiable if she reads it though.
Well, Chief, at my age and stage of the game, I still find her pretty hot.
Find Helen Mirren hot?
That’s a paddlin.
Just emailed Ms. Hoyt’s article to my kids. That is some scary stuff!
Scary and very very real, Chief. I shelled out almost twice that for my sons’ psych gifted testing after the youngest was labeled a trouble maker and difficult and sent to the principal repeatedly in first grade (in only the first semester) to the extent that I was on a first name basis with her. School for any kid at one end or the other of the bell is hell.
I went through something similar in the second grade. Nowhere near to that extent, but similar (bored kid at school who read novels at home was put into the lowest reading group after a test taken while contracting chicken pox).
Also, I saw Red. I’d give Ms. Mirren a good rogering if permitted.
My BFF was in town for a couple of hours (FTW was on her “route”), so she met me and Mr. TiFW for lunch:

That “whole word” crap is why my parents put me in Montessori for 1st grade. Too bad they couldn’t afford more than the one year, but it got me out of the trendy teaching. You can tell those taught by whole word method because they have a hard time with pronouncing names or, like a couple of lectors at church, read the words as something similar but not quite right.
Careful out there Chief!

The nuns at my school taught phonics. I can hear “Sound it out.” in my sleep.
If we turned in a science/history/whatever paper or test, and there were misspellings, they counted against our score – zero tolerance for laziness or fucktardery.
Public schools can go fuck themselves.
We should start calling them the union schools. Let those child mind rapers own the problem.
That’s a great idea. Start with the worst schools.
In fact, if you push them they become either irate or lachrymose and tell you that you don’t UNDERSTAND, you’re not an expert and you weren’t taught the latest METHODS.
This is EXACTLY like talking to my sister, the 6th grade public school teacher. She thinks I’m horrible for keeping my good kids out of public school, that the local school would look a lot better if the smart kids were stuck there.
Stupid kids drag the smart ones down. Both mine took all AP classes in HS, all 4 years.
Teresa, love the pictures. It’s nice to have ‘old friends’.
BTW, did you see the article on the cute Downs dolls I put on your facechimp?
the thing with learning to read – is that every kid is different. Some need phonics. Some learn with whole word. Those who struggle are those in a school that pushes on, when the kid’s learning style is the other.
Plus, most teachers are – honestly – idiots. They partied for four years, then pretend to be “professional” once they got a job.
Then they got a “Graduate” degree so they’d get paid more, and take themselves overly serious.
I have a Master’s in Ed. It was fucking easy. Got straight A’s.
Some of the kids have such short attention spans, I have no idea how you teach them anything.
If you’re like the Nuns and Brothers that taught me, a short attention span is not an issue. Amazing how one can concentrate the mind when corporal punishment is on the line!
I need to figure out if MI’s new RTW applies to public school teachers.
I hate drive time. It’s free time for me if I’m home.
Alrighty then…as a registered Mind Raper, oh excuse me Child Mind Raper, let me pose a question to you all:
What do you do with those that do not have involved families? I teach, err, “Mind Rape” students who have been left on their own for months at a time, watched by soi disant “aunts” and “uncles”, who have no civilizing influence in their lives beyond peers. I “Mind Rape” kids whose only real meals are the breakfast and lunch they get at school, which are getting so unpalatable because of the White House that they throw the crap away. During this week’s “Mind Raping” sessions, I got to set up a telescope to show the kids the PANSTAARS comet in the parking lot which meant I didn’t get home to my family until after dark. But, yeah, I got some extra “Mind Raping” in. Extra Points for me!
Sara Hoyt’s case is humungously egregious. The school psych failed at her job, the Asst Superintendent of Personnel should have a formal complaint lodged with him/her about the school psych at the least. But just as all conservatives are not Todd Akin, not all teachers are her kids.
Leon, it most definitely does. Warms the cockles of my heart.
Oops, last words should be “her kid’s.” Forgot the apostrophe.
I should add to my story above: to the eternal credit of my second grade teacher, she bumped me in reading level as soon as she noticed that I was answering their questions after finishing the lower level’s assignment.
Mundane, if you’re going to hang here don’t take shit personally. If you’re going to defend public education you have a pretty long row to hoe considering its performance over these past thirty or forty years.
Comment by roamingfirehydrant on March 12, 2013 6:51 pm
She thinks I’m horrible for keeping my good kids out of public school…….
========
This implies that you have bad kids that do go to public school…….
Are there good teachers? Yes.
Unfortunately, the system has been so corrupted by shitty unions, overpaid administrators and agenda-driven assholes, it is somewhat difficult spotting a diamond in the huge, steaming pile of shit public education has become.
What Hotspur said. I don’t take it as a personal attack every time a physician fucks someone over or treats them rudely and they vent here. I know how I operate and feel good about that. It sounds like you give a shit about your work. If that’s the case—I wish you could teach my kids.
And, Mundane, you are more than welcome to tell me to go fuck myself. It will only serve to make us want you around all the more.

For a teacher, your grammar sucks.
If he doesn’t I will.
Thumb status?
I’m guessing it’s a she, and you already have.
Decided to start with more verbs before I start in on adverbs.
Did your thumb transmute into a hump yet, Scott?
Finally got around to reading stuff at AoS and saw the picture of a cut up duck. I roasted a duck once and was amazed at the amount of fat it produced. The article I read about cooking a duck said to save the fat for “other uses”. What those were it did not disclose. I finally threw it out after months of the fat hanging out behind the mold-filled orange marmalade jar.
Today was a good day. The swelling is going down and I can bend it a little.
I do get Mundane’s point, because that is ultimately the issue. Public school is a huge fucking fail because parents have abdicated responsibility to the state for completely raising their children.
I do think it’s a two-way street. Teachers have demasculated parents by belittling them – telling them that THEY are the experts, that they know what is best, yada yada yada.
The truth is – teaching in an innate skill – we can all teach. We can teach our kids to read or teach them whatever.
The huge fail is that we have turned teaching into an “education” degree, instead of a skills/knowledge degree.
I could go on and on. Don’t want to bore you guys.
But, yes. Parents teaching their kids is more important than any job a teacher does.
Let that sink in, every time you hear a teacher wax eloquent about what they do.
You can rub duck fat on a thumb, I read it on the internet

Duck tastes like shit. Why would anybody use duck fat in anything?
Mundane (and NY kids) pretty much prove that point.
I used duck fat to caramelize onions for chili once. It was pretty damn good.
Duck tastes like shit.
You shut your whore mouth.
I think you stepped in it Jewstin

Duck fat is supposed to make the most amazing fried potatoes. Gonna try it someday.
How do you know… what shit tastes like?
How do you know… what shit tastes like?
You’ve never milked a cow, have you?
I have some suck fat for just that purpose. Taters.
“Well?! We’re waiting!” – Judge Smals
Cooked a duck once waaay way back that I shotted. It had been feeding on spring onions.
Not good.

If it stays swollen for more than 4 hours, you should contact your physician. It’s true, I heard it on TV. Or maybe you could rub duck fat on it.
If that’s the case—I wish you could teach my kids.
Word. Mini-me’s current science teacher isn’t putting in that kind of effort.

I’d like to say I never milked a cow, but I did date a couple of fatties between wives. Still no shit tasting involved, thank Heaven.
Doctors get a better reimbursement rate for amputation.

fukksize suck fat
Doctors get a better reimbursement rate for amputation.
It’s true, the president said so. On TeeVee.
Well, that escalated quickly.

I though suck fat was what Tyler Durden used to make soap.
Hotspur, I apologize. I took something personally that was not meant that way. I over-reacted. I am sorry. Please forgive me.
Car in: I think one of the most useless degrees ever created was one in “education”. I have a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Got my masters in Biochemistry. “Education” is a stupid field to emphasize your work in and if I had my way, it would be abolished. All teachers would be degree holders in a core subject (Math, Science, English, History) and then choose a field (elementary or secondary) to train in. The average college education should cover the core subjects already without having to resort to “Math for Education Majors” or “Science for Teachers”.
Did anybody speak in opposition to anybody else’s application for a variance at the city council meeting today?
Mercifully, I rarely need to do amputations. I can recall 5 over the past 12 years. It is a horrible feeling when you do it but there is always a good reason for it. I always have my patients get a second opinion beforehand. This past summer I did a below knee amputation on a 3 year old and had a few bad dreams before and after. They stopped when I saw her back running on her new “leg”.
Mundane, it must be hard to see the widespread neglect and not be able to do much about it.
Hotspur, I apologize. I took something personally that was not meant that way. I over-reacted. I am sorry. Please forgive me.

That’s an odd way too fuck you.
Jimbro – I saw that Jeff Gordon thing this morning. I laughed my ass off!
I don’t know how the salesman kept it together that long. I’d be shittin’ bricks after he left the lot.
Hey, Jim, does this look infected?
If that is real, it’s awesome.
Romy, it is
Hey, Jim, does this look infected?
————————————-
Nuh uh, not falling for that one again!
God damn that was funny
I saw Phonic Nuns open for Phish at Blueberry Hill in the U City Loop in 1983. They were better than Phish.
Woulda been funnier if the guy decked him and said, “Fuck you! I am a Terry Labonte fan!”
Jeff Gordon video was hilarious.
Jimbro, how much snow do you have on the ground?
I am wondering if the salesman noticed that the can was never opened…
Phonic Nuns made a huge mistake, however. They did a cover of “Brick House.” Prolly why they never made it big.
Nuh uh, not falling for that one again!
It was worth a shot.
Bare fields mixed with patches of several inches. Right now it’s pouring out so by morning they’ll be even less. We missed out on that last storm that hit MA/southern ME.
Funny thing about Ohio. Every bar band does “Brick House” and “Mustang Sally.” They are the go-to songs to get the crowd up and dancing, and the band is judged by how well they do them. Most of them do those two songs REALLY well.
MJ, I will save my first Foxtrot Oscar for sometime later. You know, like when I am feeling lonely, mention that, and someone sends me a picture of LauraW’s lady hump.
Ugh. The thought of traumatic amputation was a scary one when I was in the service. The thought of having to amputate the leg of a young child is even more horrific.
Why, that’s not the slightest bit funny, Bruce.
Woo Hoo!
The 50 year flood isn’t happening this year.
Night folks, early morning ahead. Good luck to the job seekers and knob jerkers too.
It’s damp here, but no flooding yet.
Night, Jimbro.
You need a good chick background vocalist to do Mustang Sally all proper.
Brick House not so much.
Night Jim
No, you don’t need a chick for Brick House, but some horns really help.
I’m actually browsing Monster right now. I must be getting desperate. My manager scheduled a meeting for Thursday at lunchtime, likely to tell us why sequestration means no raises or promotions again this year.
Plus side? Free Jimmy Johns.
Night Jimbro, be sure to operate on the correct appendage. “Was it my right? or his right?”

Leon, whenever my Batt CO at Ft. Knox wanted to break some bad news to one of the companies, he bought donuts for the affected unit from this place just off the base. They made these powdered things, I found out they were called beigneits, filled with fruit.
We all learned to hate that pink box with its warm sweet goodness
MJ???
http://tinyurl.com/b4wddka
Haha. STFU.
Well, he buys us lunch twice a year and gives us the rundown on how things look. We get lunch whether the news is good or bad, so I don’t know based on that alone. Obama’s still president and we just laid off 5 more people, so I’m just blindly guessing.
Amusingly, we still use the “matrix organization”, so I’ve never actually worked for my manager. I only see him at review times and he has to ask me for stakeholders so he even knows who to ask whether I suck at my job.
Airdale…ROFL…that was so very disturbing
Wow, Leon. I have heard of companies working like that, but never worked for one myself.
My boss is adding more meetings – the beatings will continue until morale improves. If this actually accomplishes what he says he wants, it might be a good thing. I feel like he has no idea what I’m doing on any given day, and maybe he will be more aware that the goof-offs aren’t doing jack shit.
It’s weird, but there is some logic to it. The upside is that if I’m thoroughly sick of the work I’m doing, I can ask him to find me another project. His incentives are structured around keeping me with the company and having all my hours paid for. My program manager’s incentives are based entirely on program execution, so who does what isn’t her concern.
My time was fully funded when my current tech manager inherited me, so he’s never had to find me work. I’m tempted to ask him to, but that would basically beat my current project with a rubber hose. I might tell him that, at least, so we can start considering a possible exit strategy.

Aw, happy puppydog.
Raomie, you should buy a burka to wear to the meetings.
Still like the pic Pupster’s avatard came from better.
I should wear a clean room suit – nearly the same thing.
I’m betting it lasts a week before he “forgets”.

Xbrad, I liked your article on the BSM for the chaplain. I wondered if that was what it was when I read that
Night airdale
Mundy, I’m tired of having my Outrage Meter pegged at Eleventy, so I try to look for a reason something isn’t as awful as it might first seem.
Plus, a shitload of people don’t seem to understand the BSM at all.
Heh. it did sound like something from the Duffle Blog, at first. The original medal, I mean. Like the one they have up right now about Nidal Hassan getting promoted and LoM…
I love Duffle Blog.
Cocktails and debriefing time.
>>Plus, a shitload of people don’t seem to understand the BDSM at all.

Oh, Cyn made a funny.

I know that Pupster and I are now married and all, but I inadvertently bonded with Scott today when I crushed my right ring finger when I tried to pull apart two grocery carts this evening. There were kids around so I uttered no colorful enhancement words, but I cried like a baby when I poured hand sanitizer on the bloody nail.
Hi
How’d they go, Vmax?
Every single person I dealt with today was an asshole. Not you guys though.
Vman – how’d it go today?! How many asses did you kick? Round to the nearest hundred.
It’s okay, Oso, I’m an asshole.
I think I did well but what do I know?
A guy on the phone called me “Fuckface.” I may have been sarcastic to prompt that response.
Well, you DO have a purdy mouth…
If you think you did well, then you prolly did, Vman. Were you able to reach anyone down Houston way to meat-up?
“Fuckface?”
I could maybe work with that. As a compliment, of course.
Heh. New neighbors have a puppy. Dan has officially talked to new neighbors more in one month than 15 years with Marguerite. Arranged a play date with Ginger, MaryAnn, and Mamba. Still don’t know new neighbors names.
Names aren’t really needed when it comes to a good doggie play date. Besides; you can always look them up online and you’ll get to see what they paid for the condo too.
Names aren’t really needed when it comes to a good… anything.
Fun is what it’s all about!
I heard.
I am hungry & tired & I don’t know where to eat
maybe tomorrow
Don’t know Canadian neighbors name. Her dog is Greeley. I don’t like people. Except for you guys.
Vman, where are you staying? Lots of good food in Houston.
Except at the Houston Airport. Don’t go there to eat.
Cyn, how is Sparky doing?
Close to Bush airport oso
There’s a Burger King and Chick Fil A east of you, Vman.
Actually, when it finally opened, I was pretty fucking happy with the Starbucks stand selling me a chocolate/chocolate chip muffin. I was pretty hungry.
Sparky’s great, Oso. His allergies have started acting up again, though. I had him off allergy shots all winter, but now with the Ash and Mulberry and Juniper, we’re all kinda itchy scritchy now. I will probably have to take him back to the dermatologist before I start giving him shots again even though I have the serum.
>>chocolate/chocolate chip muffin
OMG those are worth killing for. Seriously.
Sorry, Vman. I’m more familiar with the downtown/galleria areas.
OMG those are worth killing for. Seriously.
Especially after sleeping on the floor of Bush airport.
Scratch that, Vmax; I can’t quite tell if you are east or west of the I69. Lazy IP reversing sites.
We’re trying vitamin E for Ginger’s skin issues. Her allergies just make her mucoso, and some skin irritation, but no breathing issues. More cosmetic than anything.
My only experience at IAH was about 20 years ago (SYWM) and the parking garage; it was the only place they allowed smoking and I almost threw up. Between the car exhaust and the cigarette smell coupled with the humidity, I look back now and wonder why I didn’t quit right that second when I flung open the parking garage door. Woof.
I have no idea if you saw my response to your post, but I want to apologize. I took what you posted personally. I apologize and ask your forgiveness.
It’s all skin issues with Sparky too; dogs don’t exhibit nasal allergies like we do (thank you mucho dermatology bills). You might try some quercetin as well; was suggested by the vet. http://bit.ly/13ScSLX
Hmm…
why did that post now?
I’ve never flown into Houston. Always part of baseball road trips. I still haven’t made it to Minute Maid. Dan went to a Texans’ game without me. *cries into my bourbon*
Dear Algore,
Your intarwebz r broke. Plz fix
KKTHXBB
HAHA! Stupid intertubes.
Mom!!!! WordPuss is posting drunk delayed comments again!!!
THX Cyn. (Dan nixed Doggie insurance because ‘they are just dogs’) (Looks at all the money I’ve spent at Vet office)
Another dermo-recommended product, doggie shampoo; works pretty well: http://bit.ly/Y9FmtW
>>(Looks at all the money I’ve spent at Vet office)
Word.
My last doggie had neurological issues (doggie form of MS).
No insurance=Ka-ching.
Gingy had elevated liver numbers and they thought she had lymphoma. Ka-ching! (You’ll never convince me St. Francis didn’t step in and get a miracle for me. NEVER)
Wow, no kidding. Did they put her on some OTC Milk Thistle for that? The MS meds we gave to old doggie (Buddy) were very hard on his liver and we did the Milk Thistle to help cleanse. He never did have any liver issues.
Sox has been to the vet twice. Once was mandatory to stay overnight in the kitteh hotel while sis moved.
He’s a very low maintenance critter.
OTOH, he’s not nearly as loving as a dog.
It was the same day my Mom went in her two month coma and my dad entered hospice. My very sick dog was symptom free one week later. The VCA vet could not explain what he was seeing. Our vet had sent us to VCA because they had specialists.
MaryAnn is an epileptic. Once again, no insurance because they are “just dogs.”
My old neighbors had pet insurance, and it saved them a fortune. I should check it out for Sparky. Of course if I don’t, he’ll have some major health issue. Natch.
^^^^^^^THAT!!!!!!
The cocktailing and debriefing is complete and I am now comfortably numb *kills Jay and Wiserbud and PF* that I could care less about my finger. Finally. I’m just waiting for the serious discoloration to begin.
My mom didn’t even recognize asthma and allergies in her kids, no way she’d have noticed epilepsy or GI issues in a dog.
Cyn, it’ll be there. No pics. Dave’s eye and MCPO’s eyes were ooky enough. (Hates it when people I care about are in pain)
Dog stuff (cat stuff probably too) is hard because they can’t tell you anything. Though, I’m mostly glad they can’t talk. I think Sparky would bend my ear non-stop!
*sets up video cam to do time-lapse of finger just for Oso*
*Drinks Jim Beam Black just thinking about Cyn’s finger*
You’d never make it as a grunt, Oso. When your buddies are in (non-life threatening) pain, that’s when you laugh best.
EARFQUAKE!
XB, it used to be just my blood that concerned me. I think I’ve finally learned how to be empathetic. Another one?
Not even registering yet, Xbrad. Big?
*pushes bottle closer to Oso ‘cuz I’m a giver*
There it is. 3.5. Pffft.
There’ve been tons, Oso: http://www.data.scec.org/recent/req2/index.html
Thanks, Cyn. While perusing the baseball schedule, (like that?) we may be making a June road trip to AZ.
3.5, right where the last one happened. Didn’t really feel it, but I could hear the house shaking.
Coolio.
THX Cyn. Site I went to showed today’s data, but it was GMT and I didn’t feel like doing math.
My treat next time. We’ll be staying closer to you, so you’ll have more drinking less driving. SQUEEEEE!!!!
There’s probably close to 300 quakes on that map alone. I’m surprised you don’t feel more of them, X. I think the one that you felt was the 5.2 a bit further down (it was originally a 5.1 on this site when it first hit).
Another Osoloco date… hawt! We’ll have to work on bettering our 5.5 hour meat time.
(GMT should be minus 7 for AZ/CA right now)
I told Dan about the short cut you suggested. Scenic route FTW!!!
(Doesn’t acknowledge GMT. Pretty sure it’s racist)
Oh, from Payson then through The Bush? Heck yeah, so very much faster no matter if you’re headed to Peoria or east side. If you can time it for the late afternoon, the colors and shadow in the canyon are really spectacular.
OT. Got to check out a M&P 9mm that someone here suggested. Just for the grip. The small was too big for me. Still looking for a cute 38. Lots of empty cases in NM, AZ, and NV. I blame Mare.
The one I just felt? it was this one:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ci15302289#summary
(Yup. GMT is racist and gender biased.Totally.)
It’ll be Mesa or Gilbert. June rates are WAY better than Feb/March.
XB, that was it!!!! WTF is Anza, California?
Have to beat the children so I must call it a night.
xoxox
AZ campsites are so expensive. (Doing happy dance that tent camping isn’t too far from hotel pricing for Mr. Budget)
G’night, Cyn.
Beat them mercilessly!
G’night.
Anza is a small town, Oso. Next to the lovely Anza Borrego State Park.
I knew Borrego was “sheep.” Dolly isn’t a Bighorn, so I guess she doesn’t have a State Park after all.
Dolly has a very comfortable shelf in the closet. Way, way back in the closet.
Haha.
The Albuquerque Box Effect was in full force this morning. 30 balloons aloft, while we were pooping the dogs. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better. (Just a little bit of a brown cloud along the interstate) Blue skies, y’all.
WTF is the box effect?
