    i just discovered that the bank's drive thru window is open for business.  My parents are too scared to go outside of the neighborhood though.

    Oh, wow!  Big thunderstorm outside right now.  Well, I guess outside is a good place for it.indecision  Made me jump in my seat when flash and thunder came almost simultaneously.  Computers and TV are on battery so if the lights go out, I'll have time to shutdown the computers.  Kind of early for a big thunderstorm.  Last year, all summer, we didn't get but about 4 big thunderstorms.  Temperature today was up in the 60sF.  Cooling off now, must be a front moving through.

    on futurama , nixon's head in a jar got re elected president.

    i think he was the watergate president, whatever that was

    (*sigh*) So much important history lost on the later generations.sad  Pearl Harbor?  What kind of pearls did it have?frown  Holocaust?  Was that some kind of 3D projection?crying  Grampa, did you have a pet dinosaur?angry Macaroni invented the radio.indecision  When was the war of 1812?devil

    I'm sure Mistiarra was being facetious, but it's scary that so many times people aren't... 
    There's some dude who's been in the news a lot these past couple of years, who not too long ago claimed that the Continental Army "stormed the airports" and "manned the air" during the revolutionary war... (remember William Prescott and the Battle of Logan Airport, right?)... I believe he also mentioned they "Rammed the ramparts"... which is frickin' hilarious in a totally not hilarious way.

    It would be funny if I was referring to Homer Simpson, but sadly I'm not.

    I joke about history a lot and love twisting it up, mixing nonsense with facts... when my daughters were much younger I used to make history fun that way, but they got the idea and could tell the ridiculous from the real, but lately I look at the world and it's scary how many people know nothing about history... even a few years back.

    War is God's way of teaching Americans Geography. I don't think there's anything that could force us to learn actual History!

    Pearl Harbor and the Explosions was one of my favorite punk bands!!!

    Demolition Man was such a cool movie! So many good sound bites. "So, I'm eating a ratburger?" "Hey, esse, you see any cows?"

    i have to go to store, 2 mile walk.  need cream for my tea and coffee

    You need some goats for the cream.  I know where you can get some.devil

    my dayjob sent this out  

    This Tuesday we will participate in a pilot program on Thermal Monitoring. In short, we will be providing a third party provider to measure our temperature before entering the building. At present, this will be done on a volunteer basis. However,  I see this as a great opportunity to further enhance our comfort and security by measuring our temperatures before entering the building. I hope that all will participate, particularly as we learn more about asymptomatic viral carriers.

     

    i will not be participating.  meh

    Uhmmm... I do hope they use an E-Thermometer... the type of thermometer held against the forehead for a few seconds, and not one of those thermometers which require a bodily orifice. O_o Though, I suppose there might be one or two individualss who would enjoy that a bit too much.

    I'm jealous! I miss the thunder and lightening storms I used to experience on the north eastern coast. The west coast storms are pathetic by comparison and so very rare. My creativity is never as energized as when there is a storm outside. It's just unfortunate that it so difficult to be creative in the dark.

    was a long day of work from home.  i set my alarm for 9am.  got up. made a k cup.  logged in. filled out my time card for today.
    sent a couple emails about calibration lists.
    sent a few more emails saying they should replace the 20 year old flukes with brand new Flukes.  Fluke 77, 79, 85. dunno what to suggest as replacements.  saw an 88v.  the 85 is to calibrate the convex 806 transamission test set. 

    dunno who i work for, they merged.  stock is still tumbling taking my retirement with it.

     

    For a brief momment there I was imagining you worked with handicap whales.

    i put apples and blooberrys out  seeing what wildlife will come munch.  nothing as fun as goats.

    bunnies around. sometimes wild turkeys

    Oh my. I daren't do that around here. I might attract a few possum and other small furies, but I would certainly attract a "horde" of raccoons, some deer, and maybe even the local band of turkeys. In the end, though, I fear this would lead to visits from the area's mountain lions.

    Speaking of wildlife... I've gotten used to listening to frogs, owls, bats, racoons, fural cats, and a sundery of other creatures at night around here. Recently I was surprised by a new sound, though. At about 8 PM each night people have started howling as a sign of solidarity while trapped at home in the mountains and on the coast, due to the virus and stay at home order.

    I lived in Florida for several decades.  Big thunderstorms are common there.  LIke, daily during the summer.  Actually participated in lightning research at the Kennedy Space Center during the '70s.

    Or those fools who try to kill a nest of wasps that took up residence inside the grill... run the gas, then realize the igniter isn't working and go to get a blowtorch to stick in the side opening... only to realize they have the blowtorch with the bad igniter on it too, then as the wasps are starting to take notice, accidentally turn up the gas too high while trying to get the thing to light and blow the whole lid off the grill in a spectacular explosion that said fool still doesn't completely understand fully what caused it to be so big and how they didn't go "Fooof!"...  according to some fool... who totally wasn't me...  But it got rid of the wasps... or so I've been told... by the fool... who wasn't me... I'd never do that again... I mean at all... ever...  yeah... fools... darned fools...

    It's vodka... so... it's made from potatoes... and so are Pringles and Tater Tots... and they don't get you drunk... unless you soak them in rum.

    Which I wouldn't recommend...  well, maybe the tater tots... I'd dip the Pringles in rum... and it would probably be better in spiced rum.

    Supposedly, during the SARS thing, word got around Russia that alcohol would protect you from getting if taken internally. As if they needed an excuse. Genuine Russian joke (as told by a genuine Russian): In Russia, red wine is wine. White wine is vodka!

    my dad is so old fashioned that he doesn't even want to use the drive thru teller at the bank.  He would rather go inside and talk to the teller at a the counter.  He'll need to wait a few more weeks before the inside of the branch is open to the public to deposit his paper checks.

    I got Alexa too.  Wait I also got 4 other housemates not including the goldfish or the staff.  My goldfish keep insisting that they are hungry fish after not enough time since their last feeding.  Especially Charley does not know about goldfish obesity apparently.

    Darn strange looking bear and cat in the bottom photo.
