What happens when we get a cold spell after a balmy week in the 60s and 70s.

Arthritis happens.


Frost warnings Thursday night and a hard freeze (27°F)Friday night. More frost Saturday night. Winter clothing has not yet been put away.


Almost freaked out at 10am today. It's been cold and rainy for a couple days. Stopped raining around 9:30 this morning. I'm sitting at my laptop next to the big picture window that looks out at my back yard and the woods. Really grey. Really overcast. And then the storm sirens fired up. Took me a few seconds to remember that this is indeed the first Tuesday of the month and it was 10am. Instead I was pulling up weather radar and looking at the clouds wondering how long I had to get cats to the basement.

I get to dig trenches and tunnels tomorrow.

It's going to look like the western front.

The best part, it's all going to be captured via time lapse video.

A pop-up storm with potential tornados incoming is what I immediately thought. That's not uncommon in the section of the country between the Rockies and the Appalachians.

It didn't quite hit 80°F today.

I didn't even wake up for the sirens this morning, that's how deeply I fell asleep.

Good but needs more bears.


It would be quite the trick since I don't think your lungs have anything at all to do with farts.

Maybe yours don't.

Did you hear that a small meteorite hit LegoLand today? Damage is estimated at 50 square blocks.

So, there was this man named James Fart. Everybody made fun of him since he was very young. "James Fart! James Fart!". The bullying used to make him cry...
He came of age among this suffering and at 21 was finally able to legally change his name. He arrived at the government office where he presented himself:
"I'm James Fart and I want to legally change my name!"
Of course they laughed at him (everybody did) but eventually they all settled and came around to the situation.
"Ok, so... your current name is..." *chuckles* "James Fart... I'm sorry, I just..."
"I know, everybody has been laughing at my name since as long as I can remember."
After a long and tedious process, everything is ready.
"Very well, sorry for the delays but you know how hard this protocols are. The good news: you are no longer 'James Fart', what name do you want instead?"
"Charles Fart."

Telling your suitcase that you're not going on vacation this year can be tough. Emotional baggage is the worst.

My Grandma is 96 years old and still doesn't need glasses. She just drinks straight from the bottle.

Yeah Us storage devices have a hard time understanding this whole "virus pandemic" thing.

My grandpa made moonshine back in the day. I tasted it once by accident when I was about 9-12 ish. It was a very unpleasant experience. I don't drink to this day. well Their was other experiences too but gah that stuff was awful.


The 2nd shift clerk is still here, waiting for his Uber. He's pretty pissed off because the app shows the driver is on the south side of town (the hotel is on the north edge) and still heading south. And if he cancels the trip to try and get a different driver, he'll be charged $5. I'm guessing this driver ain't gonna be getting no tip.


And probably a bad review. eh maybe the guy got in an accident. Never know. Tell the 2nd shift guy to invest in a bike.

I remember the first time I saw a commercial for that Moonshiners show on History Channel (or is it Discovery? I don't remember.), I thought to myself "I wonder if I would see any kinfolk if I watched that?"

As far as I know, none of my relations have been on the show. Likely because they're not willing to let anyone film them breaking the law.

He sent the driver a message, and got told "I'm dropping off someone else. I'll be there soon.", but the app doesn't show the driver as being on another call. So it's probably either a Lyft job, or something on the side. And he does have a bike. But it's late, chilly, and raining, so he didn't ride it today.


The show "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia" Reminded me too much of people I knew back when I lived on the border of West Virginia. None as bad as the people in that show but I could imagine people getting to that point. (Of which I couldn't watch much of the cringe factor was overwhelming.) Real glad I moved out of there.

I did once get rid of a clingy guy on the bus by letting out a swamp gass fart.

See, concept verified. Now to take the next step and fart your lungs out.


I get to avoid breaking fiber optic cable lines by digging a four foot deep hole right where fiber optic and cable lines are.

Should be fun!

At least, with everyone working from home I'll know if I sever it almost immediately (when you hear a loud scream of despair from the house).

Good luck, we're all counting on you.

Hopefully they will see the light. Don't get too much fiber in your diet today.

He had really one of the most horrific ways imaginable to kill someone.

Yes but it's imperative it's taken care of. The baggage can pile up, if untended, and the sobbing will echo through your psychic senses for weeks before you naturally learn to drown it out. Better to just settle the problem early. The tags aren't that hard to find, most of the time.


Last night's 'Call of Cthulhu' session was an involved one. We learned that there's a sort of internal rift within the Cult of Nyarthotep, and raided a warehouse, our formerly strait-laced lady doctor distracting the roughs guarding it by driving past, shouting 'Yoohoo, boys', and then flashing her stocking-tops at them.

Nobody got shot, for once, though there was one bout of fisticuffs, and my companions did decide to burn down the warehouse in question post-raid. Strictly speaking, Call of Cthulhu is not about burning, looting and killing, but once a murderhobo, &c.

that's almost I have ever known it to be about, at least towards the end of the game.

Who are you, and what have you done with Global Megacorporation?

Employee: Once the virus has died down, will employees have the choice to continue working from home?
Global Megacorporation: The return to the office will be a gradual thing and will not be mandated any time in the near (or even distant) future.

In other words, "Well, technically we're going to ask you to come back to the office, but if you say you don't feel it's safe we'll let you keep working from home."

My company is treating us well. I am all astonishment.


Had the camera guy out at the job site, he brought his drone with him.


Hello, everyone!

Why am I doing all of the driving?

Because the homeowner has one of the expensive Tesla models and the neighborhood is riddled with children playing in the road and apparently I'm the only one with the patience to drive around an expensive car and three blocks of driving 10 mph while keeping an eye out for darting children.

This is why I get paid more than most everyone else.
