It can take a little bit of rain … the day this happened it just sprinkled for a little bit. It would probably be a problem if there had been a huge downpour but that didn’t happen.

This was all about 25 years ago and the paint still looks good … but now that you mentioned it, it probably needs to be renewed now.

Reminds me of a terrible factoid I read a long time ago … they feed young calves they raise for veal a steady diet of cow’s milk mixed with liquefied rendered cow blood and other bio fluids.

We might not have the matrix or dystopian futures yet … but we sure are on our way to building one.

I’m guessing you also enjoy your whipped cream …

He’s up to 8 hours in the sun now

Exactly

My best memory of my old friend was when me and couple of friends were sitting in my backyard with all our painting equipment. I was getting ready to paint the whole house but we were worried about rain. There were dark clouds in part of the sky, and we couldn’t figure out if the weather report was going to forecast rain in our area or not. We were all debating that it was going to rain so we better not start … while also saying that this is the only day we had time to do all this work.

My old friend Barry (we called him Bud) just laughed at us all … grabbed a brush, opened a can of paint and started painting. He said it’s not raining right now so you’d better start … and if it does start raining, you can stop.

It trickled rain for a little bit and we stopped mid afternoon … but by the end of the day, we finished painting the house.

Thanks Bud … I follow his forecasting logic all the time now.

I don’t need a machete to milk a cow

My best advice was from a friend of mine about 30 years ago

He was far older than me and he just told me … the forecast? … just open the door and step outside … is it raining? yes? no? … is it sunny? yes? no? … is it snowing? yes? no? … is it windy? yes? no? … has the apocalypse arrived? yes? no?

that’s all the forecasting you need.

If I had a coworker like that, I’d begin to understand Ted Kaczynski more

You should purposely misspell it from time to time to … homo

And when people point it out, just apologize and say it was a typo … be very apologetic and sincere and even offer to send cupcakes to them for the inconvenience (include some mild laxative in the cupcake … and alternate to cannabis the next time it happens)

Exactly … I wouldn’t be talking about politics if politics had just stayed out of affecting my life in so many stupid, terrible and sometimes horrible ways

I prefer politics remain just plain boring press conferences from a dumb politician trying to figure out how to raise finances to build a highway or fix a bridge or upgrade water services.

Basically how I browse the internet these days … if I have to click on a bunch of stuff, sign up, register, accept a bunch of notifications, cookies, blah, blah, blah … all because I want to read 200 words on your dumb site … I’m not even going to bother with your site, skip and find a different source that is easier.
