Proposed law is to get tougher on so called "Porch Pirates".
Nothing to do with Garfield, but staying with the animal theme.....
A Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will.
At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.
The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.
But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.
Now that's something I can get behind.
Of course, the ancient Romans mixed all sorts of things into their cement to make it stronger.
Maybe we could do that to our society then diversity would be our strength.
...although it can buy a lot of drugs.
This is a picture of Jim Irsay. The owner of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts.
Any guesses as to how old he is?
Nope....
Nope....
He's 64.
And he's be in and out of rehab....a lot.
Police just found him unresponsive in bed in December at 4:30am.
They pumped him full of Narcan and he became "slightly responsive".
Wow. Them's 64 years of hard living.
Here's what a couple of commentators had to say.
Not funny....but funny.....
Ahhh...the Titanic.
Also called the Wonder Ship, Ship of Dreams, Millionaires' Special, and the World's Largest Ship.
...see previous post for context.....
This is really scary to think about the next time you step on a plane.
From the article, the disabilities they are looking for "include:
Yowza!
It gets better (or worse); The FAA states on its website how individuals with 'severe' mental and physical disabilities represent an under-represented segment of the federal workforce.
It goes on to state: Diversity is integral to achieving FAA's mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.
Okay....not sure I see that......
One commentators said, "Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety?" It's too early to tell what caused the Boeing door plug to blow out, but that is what this commentator was referring to.
Other commentators had a field day with it.
But they're not (just) talking about pilots, but all the people responsible for keeping that plane - and all others around it- in the air.
What ever happened to those Sheltered Workshops, where my mom used to volunteer? Maybe they weren't so bad.....
And, of course, Gary Larson had so many of these......
Only in Canada, eh?
Police in Montreal are saying individuals could face defamation charges for posting videos of people stealing packages from their porches.
Oh sweet, mama!
US authorities weighed in saying a person has no expectation of privacy is a public space. Especially on someone else's front porch.
Here are just a couple of the comments about this.....
...but this is not the way......
So the lads came yesterday to put mulch down. Unfortunately, they loaded the Bobcat on before the mulch.
So....how to get the Bobcat off the truck bed....?
Say It Ain't So
Doesn't anyone prof read anything any more?
Who didn't have one of these on his wall growing up?
A Toronto Maple Leafs Calendar. Mmmmm......
And this one is special.
The Leafs had just won the Stanley Cup the year before (and the year before that, but who's counting) and were on their way to another Cup that spring.
And this one.....
But unfortunately.....
And who doesn't have one of these beauties hanging in his closet?
Well....not many!
I was thinking that must have meant what was life like back in the 50's.
But no, that would be 1974.
Gak!
With the top song, Barbara Streisand's "The Way We Were".
But go back ten more years, and now we're really talking.
The top song of 1964 was...
That got me thinking that I am - and lots of young kids today are - still grooving to a lot of amazing songs from the 60's.
Which also got me thinking, in 1964 was I grooving to tunes from...do the math, carry the 4....1904?
Well, let's see.
Top song in 1904...
The classic "Dear Old Girl". Which is what I used to call my mother. But that's another story.....
And, of course, not to be forgotten....
Another classic, "Last Smoke Before The Snow Storm".
The lyrics still roll off my lips.
The point of all this reminiscing is....we still have the greatest music of all time!!
[Uhhhhh....maybe with apologies to Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Bach.....okay, okay...]
And who are those shag haired gorgeous girls from 1974 in the first picture?
The Runaways. With 2nd from the left being....Joan Jett.
Where else would he party?
He's the 2nd freakin' richest man in the world.
And, of course, the richest man in the world is Elon Musk.
And just in case you thought you might be making up some ground on him, his Net Worth increased by $1.9B this year. How's your plan working for ya.....
