Ah, summer in Wisconsin! It's only 8:30 and it's already 80 degrees and you can smell someone using tar somewhere in the distance.Ah, summer in California! Nothing like waking up, heading outside, and smelling a massive grass fire somewhere in the distance.
What's curious is that I don't see it reported in the news yet. Must be a fresh one...
It's 6:40 am, 55°F, a mild fog should burn off within the next hour or so, with a predicted high of 74°F.
And smoke. Lots and lots of smoke, I'm sure.
EDIT: And who doesn't run naked and screaming from grass fires? It's what's done...

For the best milkmaids you have to go to the German bars. Don't worry, those are very plentiful in Wisconsin.
Have you not heard that the Midwest and Great Plains are the lands of ALL of the weather patterns, including the ones that were previously rejected?

Things NobodysHome Doesn't Understand, #48341844:
Friend: Hey, NobodysHome! Want to come to a barbecue on <holiday>?
NobodysHome: Not really. The freeways will be packed, the parks will be nightmarishly crowded, everything's going to be loud as heck, and it just seems like abject misery to leave the house on that day. Why don't you do it on Saturday or Sunday instead?
Friend: I know! I really HATE the crowds, too! But we have to do it on <holiday>! It's tradition!
So, I understand that some people really like the overcrowding, the madness, the noise, and the festival-like atmosphere of going to a park or picnic area on a national holiday. Most of my friends don't. And yet they still plan to do public things in public parks on national holidays. And I always have to ask, "Why?"
(For the record, this time Shiro wants us to come down for a BBQ on the 4th of July, and my immediate response was, "Why don't we do it on the 5th, because it would be a lot nicer and less crowded?")

Holiday weeks are weird. Either everyone is going nuts trying to get things done at the last minute or nobody is doing anything. This week, nobody seems to be doing much of anything. It's nice to have a mental break without taking time off.

I'll take your word for it, as such attire is the ONLY good thing about summer.
That and the pool.
And the beach.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Speaking as a Californian, I've never understood the appeal of the beaches here.
Mainly because there's an arctic current that runs along our coast so the water is rarely over 60°F.
Now HAWAII has beaches, because the water is closer to 78°F so it's actually pleasant to swim and you don't freeze to death coming out of the water.
But, "Spend a day in the merciless sun, having your skin abraded by dry sand, while the salt in your swimsuit slowly dries to a sharp and painful crust," has never been my cup of tea...

Fortunately, Wisconsin has more lakes then Minnesota and EVERYONE spends almost the whole summer at the lake, Wisconsin Dells (water parks, as far as the eye can see!) or the pool.

Last night was such an example of why I despise drug culture: On hearing that Impus Major had never even tried marijuana, his friends declared that they were going to get some and force him to take it just so he'd know what it was like.
So, they were joking, but they were joking about forcing an unwilling participant to take a mind-altering substance. And it's considered "OK" because we live in a pro-drug state.
No. No, it's not.
As a former addict, even joking about such stuff is off-limits to me. I told Impus Major that people who would suggest such things cannot be considered "friends", and he should be cautious around them. He appreciates neither them nor my advice at the moment, but he needs to hear it repeatedly.
And the problem is, as a former alcoholic, I see it ALL THE TIME in the marijuana culture. "Oh, it's harmless! Scientific studies have shown it's non-addictive!"
Bull****.
There's physical addiction, and there's psychological addiction. Just because you won't become physically addicted to it doesn't mean you can't turn into an addict.
Just p****s me off.
If you want to partake, partake.
If you want to pressure me or mine to partake, get the **** out of my sight and never come to my home again.
Pretty simple.

In fairness, marijuana doesn't really alter your mind it just makes Jim Carrey funny and Phish sound like a band.
| 7 people marked this as a favorite. |
And of course I'm also grumpy because for the last 2 nights I've cooked dinner while Impus Major's friends are over, and both times they've asked for some.
For some people, just saying, "No, feed your d*** self," is easy.
I have an enhanced hospitality gene (just ask LM) so it always makes me feel bad, so I've told them not to ask. They do anyway. Every. Single. Time.
So:
(1) Yes, Impus Major's friends can be complete jerks
(2) I find it interesting that I'd consider it easier to throw them out of the house each time they ask so they learn not to than to just keep saying, "No," every night.

I gotta side with NH here.
I don't like the sensations that come with drugs that cause any amount of disconnection or disassociation from my self, or clouding of my senses in any way. I have no interest in even legal intoxication of any sort because even if it's more mild than the prescription stuff I've had to take in the past, it's still a sensation I don't enjoy.
I've had more encounters with people desperate to force people to partake in their intoxicant of choice than I care to have ever had. I can't manage any sympathy for those who do so, no matter how "harmless" their preferred drug is.
No means no.

NH: Well, I'm a millionaire, I own a house in the Bay Area, I have a loving family, and I make a 6-figure salary working a cushy job from home...
AC: We gotta go get hammered!
EDIT: Actually, house prices dipped around here and I just put in the solar. I might not be a millionaire at the moment. Ah, well. Wait 6 months for housing to recover...

Old Man Security:
Apparently for many people it's possible to hack their entire lives with nothing more than their cell phone numbers and enough additional information to get the cell phone provider to switch the phone number to the miscreant's phone.
And the article is behind a page that requires me to agree to using my data OR logging into some system to opt out of using my data. Nope.
I vehemently refuse to use or confirm my phone number in various internet services.What's funny is that it's really hard for me to even imagine how that works, because I don't use my phone for anything. I just tried to reset my Google email password by getting it to text a link to my cell phone. No deal! Google doesn't know my cell phone number. My banks don't either.
Gee... by refusing to use a cell phone, I seem to be immune to a "scary life hack".
Oh, well. Being old has its benefits.
Same.
We're here.
In something of an altered state after four days of travelling.
My uncle is in the hospital. He had a bad stroke Saturday morning, but mom didn't want to tell me while I was on the road. He's 68, a chain smoker, and he's done a lot of drugs over the years, so it's not a huge surprise.
That sounds cold.
He's my uncle, the last one I have left, and he was one of my best friends when i was 13-14. We built a model HO railroad together after school for two years.
Sure, I love him. But I also think he's an idiot who's lived as if he thought he was immortal.
Well, he may suffer all sorts of negative consequences for his behavior, but fortunately that'll never happen to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
*cough*
Its not cold. Its just reality.Seconded.

Don't forget overpriced parking and obnoxious people asking if you're cosplaying Jesus every five minutes.There's a reason I don't go to cons.
Well mostly it's cost, distance, the fact that it's full of people, and the fact that you inevitably get horribly sick after the fact.
You mean you're not?!
(Alt take: Note to self: ask CY if he's cosplaying Shreddie Vedder next time.)
