Ain't Happening

Can this foul person be sent back to Somalia? My favorite YouTube lawyer steps out of his usual lane to offer real information.

New Tax Needed to Save Us

People worldwide are weary of climate change taxation and a new “crisis” is needed. There must be a clever way to exploit this.

The issue gets more complicated as time goes by. Here is a very long article analyzing the current state of affairs. Well done, IMO.

Paranoid minds wonder if some Minnesota Lite is lurking?

A long Colorado Parks and Recreation report on the recent mountain lion deaths. As you can see on the map, some have been seen close to DRJIM’s backyard.

Smartass WSF – the Early Years

Senior year of high school, a requirement in an English class was to memorize and recite aloud a poem, of our own choosing.

My sister was ten years behind me but several of my teachers were still there. My sister approached two of them with, “Ladies, may I speak to you?” Upon receiving an affirmation she said, “Ladies, I’m not my brother”.

I was not remembered as a scholar.

 Deleted Comments

After many years of not deleting comments, except anonymous comments, I’m tired of the off topic comments. Spam, bots, ???

Not having it anymore.

Going green, create more problems

Among the myriad rules, regulations and dictates that complicate our lives and increase costs everywhere are “water saving” low flush toilets. One is in my apartment. How much water is saved when the damn thing needs to be flushed three times?

Car Story

Glue, locks and a Dodge Viper. This is probably a repeat.

 1993 my manager at the used car lot (show us your cocks story) got fired and the omens weren’t good for me. Up I -405 in Bellevue WA I got hired at the Dodge store while the GM was on vacation. He was not pleased when he returned. His problem? He didn’t hire me and I was selling two vehicles every three to four days while not adhering to his “system”.

 The Viper had just arrived and he foolishly put up a prize; the top salesman got to drive the Viper for a day.  That month I beat his house mouse by three cars. He was beside himself when I picked up the Viper on my day off. I drove it up I-90 to the Snoqualmie Pass summit and back to the store. Dropping it off I remarked, “Just another car”. When the management started messing with my pay I moved on.

 The manager, Bart Moss, was a big water skiing fanatic. He would go to Lake Sammamish at 5 am when the water was “flat”.  The ass kissers would meet him there and they would have workplace bonding. How pleased the folks with lakefront property might feel seemly didn’t matter. I gave it six weeks then went to the parking lot and squirted glue into all the door locks of all their vehicles while they were recreating. Well yes, WSF is evil. Fuck with me and I will fuck you over.

 I didn’t tarry, needing to open a small pot lot I’d been hired to manage.

 Side note: The Viper was a blast for about an hour and a half. After that, the parts bin engineering became increasingly noticeable. Also, my courting tackle didn’t get any bigger.

 MOPAR impressions. In that era I always thought Dodge was ahead of the game in terms of design. The Intrepid, with the cab forward design, was far superior to Ford and GMC. The full sized pickup redesign was a game changer. The weakness was Chrysler went cheap on the details. I won’t go into details; ancient history now. Their one success was the Dakota. Needing a small pickup, the Dakota was a Dodge Regis cop car chassis with a pickup bed and the rest 20 year old parts bin left overs. It was a decent truck, especially compared to the Toyota T100. That disaster had Toyota giving dealers a hidden $4,000 cash bonus to help move them.

As always, YMMV
