Gaza Pier

The greenest Army 12C (Bridge crew member) could have told the dumb fucks in charge that lash up was doomed from the start.

What is needed, and it takes time, is the facilities at Prudhoe Bay.

I speak with a modicum of knowledge having been a combat engineer in the 814^th Engineer Company (Float Bridge) and a project flunky (aka supervisor) for General Construction Company building the start of the Prudhoe facility.

Used Cars – the Movie

Foiled – Small Town Story

No free breakfast for you!

Steamboat Springs, CO had a town character everyone called, “Snowball”. A small man, allegedly suffering from shellshock, he made a living doing chores, shoveling snow, digging graves as needed, tending furnaces, and generally making himself useful. He lived in the town’s cheap hotel and avoided bathing.

One morning while having breakfast at the Waffle Shack, he saw a transient scamming the owner by presenting a $100 bill to pay for his breakfast.

“I don’t have change for something that big this time of the morning”, said the owner.

“Guess my breakfast is free”, said the asshat with a big grin.

Snowball approached, started unpinning money from inside his coat, and broke the Benjamin. Said asshat suddenly found a $10 bill. Then he met another patron, an off duty county deputy, and his morning suddenly went South.

A standing family joke involved a winter coat. Every time my Dad bought a new winter coat, Snowball would soon buy an identical coat. My Dad wasn’t flattered.

Ballots have been mailed. Dark money (P)regressive PACs have been promoted the most extreme right wing Republicans, a strategy they have employed before. SSDD.

 As usual, YMMV
