If I could change one rule about driving, I would require all vehicles to have the horn connected with the brake so it’s not possible to use the horn without stopping the vehicle. It drives me crazy when I see people in a situation where a collision is imminent, and their reflex is to use the horn instead of the brake. Everybody does this, including people who are not born yet. There is no situation in which a person should use a horn without stopping the vehicle. This annoys me more than the people who use high beams all the time.
But then if the villain disables their brakes they won't be able to use the horn to scatter the flock of emus they are about to collide with.
YouTube: CEO of Segway company dies flying off a cliff on his segway while walking his dog. :-\
Heh... I must be weird then. I keep forgetting my car has a horn, and usually end up blasting it belatedly, in a "hey you jerk, you would've hit me if I hadn't dodged" sort of way.
Non-complaint#1: 3 years ago tomorrow, Gilly - (who either is, or pretends to be), the world's diztiest collie - joined our little family. And on Aug. 15, Bear the Lab turns 11 years old.
Non-complaint#2: I was off work today, so volunteered at the library with husband. There was some very rich chocolate cake for Director's birthday.
Complaint#1 (related to NC# 2 above): Was straightening & shelf reading (making sure books were in proper in order), which I usually find relaxing. Some non-fiction sections were a mess. There's a big problem at our little library with people who seemingly have no clue about the order of the alphabet & numbers. I got a bad headache from fixing these things.
Complaint#2: Twice in the past week we have bought moldy bread at 2 different stores where we've never had problems before. I wonder if it's the hot & humid/rainy weather. Must start looking closer & at all angles before buying.
Non-complaint#3: discovered our rural county seat has a wonderful tiny Thai restaurant.
Wow, what a way to go considering his line of business. Perhaps the dog suddenly decided that running along-side a segway non-stop at 15mph was a bit much, desperately fancied a swim and pulled him over along with it, and perhaps the segway itself followed directly aftewards.
Wouldn't surprise me. I see brainless clowns like that on the promenade often, riding bikes and scooters with some poor dog on a leash panting its brains out!
Complaint: Just finished reading the past two pages and here in Denver and along the Cherry Creek Trail, a non-motorized bike often hits above 40mph and a motorized one, well it is anyone's guess. There are signs posted with a speed limit but it is routinely ignored. Before Covid, the rule of thumb was to stay to the right, and if on a bike, ring your bell, or say 'On your right!' as you approached runners or walkers from their backs. That is long gone. And now with those blasted scooters, it is more dangerous. Even on sidewalks when I would be walking Bugsy I would have to jump off the concrete into mud or grass to avoid being ran into by these forms of transportation that are not supposed to use the sidewalks.
In my observation, believing oneself to be above all laws and courtesies seems to be a common side effect of being on a bicycle.
Complaint(s): I hate dForce (sorry, Daz). It doesn't matter how long I give the simulation, nothing is draping as it should.
I hate summer.
And those strawberry donuts were awful
Non-complaint: Chicken and bacon pasta for tea
Wow... guess I'm a little pampered with bicycle courtesy.
I'm blessed to live in an area with a LOT of trails (some of it through some very nice nature preserves). We get all sorts, though I've yet to see anything higher powered than a motorized bicycle (the regular sort) or scooter/"hover"board. I'm always chugging along with my big ol' stroller wagon, the only time I didn't get a polite "on your left!" from anyone faster than me was from very young (training wheels required) bikers who had a parent behind trying to instill better behavior. And then the parent apologized as they passed me.
Even folk with dogs generally rein them in a bit more when we pass -- probably a good move, considering my kid has a whole tray full of snacks.
@N-RArts - sorry about the strawberry donuts. That's disappointing. With you on summer. And dForce, though possibly my struggles there are because I haven't learned how to make it sit up and do tricks yet.
Non-complaint: Yay, my new air-conditioner has arrived, apparently undamaged.
Complaints: 1) I don't really need it immediately, weather's been tolerable. 2) It's too big for me to move. 3) My neighbor is unavailable.
Temporary Solution: I'll just store it until needed and help is available.
HOWEVER: My apartment is already full of boxes in piles.
Old financial records, old work records, old clothes, new clothes, boxes of photos, excess bed linens, hoarded computer parts, old collectable toys, books, big empty boxes kept for possible future need, etc. Over the years I've managed to arrange my boxes into non-inconvenient stacks and and even turned some of them into 4 foot high tables/shelves by covering them with a long plank table top or decorative towels. But adding a new 12,000 BTU air-conditioner in its huge shipping box is like trying to squeeze 5 pounds of Crisco into a 3 pound can, something's going to squeeze out somewhere. I had to rearrange, yet again.
To that end, I had to make room downstairs (I can't possibly get that box upstairs by myself) by tossing out as much junk as I can. And conveniently, my neighbor has been reroofing the house and there is an industrial trash bin right outside my kitchen window.
I made room under my bed and have moved all my photography equipment (cameras, tripods, microphones, & mic stands, audio & video tapes, etc.) to under the bed. Then took some of the miscellaneous boxes of hoarded computer parts (keyboards, mice, old graphic cards, power supplies, etc.) upstairs to rebuild a new wall of boxes up there and have rearranged the boxes & rugs upstairs to make room in the kitchen downstairs. Then I very slowly and gruntingly dragged, inch by inch, the new A/C six feet from where the UPS guy delivered it onto my porch, to the spot prepared for it in the kitchen. I've reassembled a few other boxes on top of it and rebuilt my kitchen "divider" that separates my food preparation area from the pantry. All this moving of boxes also meant that I had access to floors that hadn't been properly cleaned in a couple of years, so that had to be done too. Whew! A lot of work. Took me two days, a little bit at a time.
The ad-hoc 4 foot high, 4 foot long, 2 foot wide kitchen "divider" is actually very convenient. It adds more shelf space.
Non-complaint: I've been invited to a 4th of July party and will be taking some deviled eggs,
So I toddled on up to the local grocery store for necessary things. Tuckered me out, but I recovered quickly. No mini-adventure uptown this week. Perhaps next week, but my budget would rather I didn't until two more weeks when SS deposit occurs again.
Complaint: While rearranging my kitchen I uncovered the area where a plastic container of cherry "Crystal Lite" drink mix fell down behind the boxes six months ago. Unfortunately, a mouse found it, chewed it open, and spilled the powder onto the floor. Moisture in the air has transformed the powder into a gooey red sludge that looks like dried blood and stained red the linolium flooring and the white fringe of the rug in my pantry.
Well, I got my eight stitches out of the Finger food I tried to make. I don't think I would like to eat thatfood.
Looks like the E.T. "phone home" finger. All you have to do is make it glow.
complaint: my new MP3 player came with instructions that were almost completely useless. I spent way too long trying to figure out why it wouldn't see the songs on the micro-SD card before figuring out that it would only admit they existed if I had the unit plugged into my computer and transferred them that way, instead of putting them on the card separately and then inserting it. Again, nothing about this in the instructions. Also, the interface sucks.
non-complaint: It was only $20, so I suppose I can't expect a lot. And I just wanted something small I could plug a set of light headphones into and listen to music quietly while sitting at my computer (and maybe drown out the children's programming a little) without negatively impacting my ability to hear important stuff going on around me. Music's always been my way to help handle stress, so it's nice to have that back. And at that price, if something untoward happens to it, it's unfortunate but not a tragedy.
Large Economy Size Complaint: We replaced the front tires, plus front brake pads, rotors, & calipers this morning. Sticker Shock. Need I say more?
Micro-complaint: Tomorrow is the July 4th holiday & I have a 6 hour shift...
Non-complaint#1: But I can wear a red, white, & blue tee to work. I have chosen my (Marvel Comics) Captain America/Sam Wilson tee.
Non-complaint#2: Wild blackberries are ripening & we are going to make jam.

@SilverGirl. Ah yes, kids' programming. Those were the days. I well recall the summer my 2 watched almost nothing but their collection of Christmas cartoon DVDs. I joked it was "their way of beating the heat."
Do you get time and half pay for working on a holiday?
If it starts to glow I would recommend a return to the hospital, but remember to post pictures first.
Well, I've been sick for days with a wicked virus. Feeling myself now, but you don't want to hear about that.
When I was a kid, we had several VHS tapes with the specials recorded off the TV, and little snowman stickers on the label for finding them faster. I remember several binges. These days eveything is available year round on some combo of PBS Kids Video and YouTube Kids. Not so much the older stuff, just the holiday specials of the various shows. And oh man, as if Nature Cat and Pinkalicious weren't painful enough regularly....
Thankfully little dude doesn't seem to really understand holidays. (As far as he's concerned, they're random, stressful breaks in routine.) But it doesn't stop him liking those episodes, and whatever he fixates on, it can be on loop for days. I'm totally down with it when he gets on Sesame Street or Wild Kratz or Anastasia or something like that, but usually I am not that lucky.
It's summer, it's tennis. More specifically it'sWimbledon. So time for the traditional past time of sitting in front of the TV and watching the British players get knocked out in the first week and trying to have a bet whether any will last into week 2. So far, the traditional pattern is showing signs of being followed.
It seems to be July the fourth. And apart from having a pretend grumble about colonial separatists and a nod to Canadians who chose not to, it's of no more significance than July 5th, 6th, 7th.. . The important day tends to be around July 23, when the school summer term (not 'semster' - which my gut feeling says must be a rodent like a Hamster) ends.
Regards,
Richard
It's not always been like this, for it was today in 1969 that British tennis player Ann Jones won the Wimbledon women's final by beating Billie Jean King. So you see sometimes we make it past the first week, not that I really care as I have no interest in tennis.
Oh no. I'm just a part-time semi-retired worker bee.
I think the biggest holiday is for the mosquitoes, who get an all-you-can-eat buffet when scores of people stake themselves out in fields in anticipation of fireworks and are ripe to be feasted upon. (And with the temperatures around here today -- over 90F for the high, and humid -- there's not going to be a lot of cloth to get in the way of their meal.)
Ok, this isn't right. I ate the food and liked it. (Grilled Philly Cheese Hamburgers and Hot Dogs) Then I went to the front room while the wife was cleaning, and I heard her yell, "Get down, Merlin." I looked, and half of one I was saving for later was gone. Merlin is just licking his fur. Merlin picture below.
What a darling little thief! Clearly 90% stomach. I approve.
Complaint: Little Dude got into the fridge while I was indisposed and found the raw eggs at the back.
Non-complaint: At least only two of them were cracked (there's a reason I only keep about four on hand at a time) and by some miracle the innards were still entirely inside, so I made an unplanned batch of French toast. My eldest was entirely pleased at this turn of events.
Non-complaint: My eldest got me the collected Stan Rogers for my birthday. The ex took all the CDs from that artist that had previously been in the household, and I've been binging for the last two days. Good music is my happy place. Extra-bonus: there are several songs on that set I'd never heard previously. So now my collection is better than the one that was lost. Winning!
I want to sell you a bridge in NY, but first I need to get rid of my lighthouse in Iowa. I can't go there to keep it up.
Wait! I'm getting a call from an opportunity to get a submarine in Kansas. It is that Dorthey girl with her Toto? I can't get an ai image of that and I don't know why.
edit finally got Dorthey and Toto picture from copilot ai
...I've got about a dozen bridges here in Portland for sale, one of which is the only double span vertical lift bridge in the world that iopened in 1912, where the lower deck can be raised independently of the upper one. .Being a one of a kind I would think potential buyers would be clamouring or get such a unique and rare span.
Thanks.
Apparently I overlooked the "Simulation On" setting on the clothing. Not that I'd know. Up until my new computer I barely used dForce ^^;
@AgitatedRiot Cute thief ^^
