El Spotto

City: using space heaters may increase your electricity bill!

Me: but the 2 rooms I’m spending 8-12 hours in are all i need to be warm. The rest can be at 64 freedom and I won’t care.

City: but…

Me: shut up. Warm toes.

I declare bankruptcy? 😂🤣

Winner winner stuffed chicken breast dinner!

Wait, that’s just the Aldi meal i heated up tonight. 🤣😂

Oh. He did. 😂🤣

Good thing is that likely reset his pregame superstitions. All hockey goalies have em and keep em until something catastrophic happens. Like getting suspended.

So his luck socks or whatever finally got washed.

Hockey goalies are a special type. Sometimes VERY special. 🤣😂

Well yes. When it’s green they obey the signal.

Can we just make him the head of all our sports governing bodies?

Win a title, hang with Flavor Flav in Vegas.

Like still frozen? I’m not here to judge, but I may have to if you don’t even cook the pizza. 🤣😂

He’s clearly in uniform. Let’s see how long he lasts at practice before the rules for hockey include not shooting a puck directly at the goalie.

It would be a shame if something happened to your wonderful citizens…

You…you have to wanna build a snowman. Even I know that’s the first step to getting an Olaf/Frosty mashup.

There is absolutely zero chance that shouldn’t have been extended to the entire city. Yikes!

There are some truly ridiculous light timings around town. They hadn’t sorted the lights for the new streetcar turnaround at the cemeteries by the time I left. People were flat out ignoring the lights sometimes.

Im not in the mood either, don’t worry. In addition to traffic, it is affecting all utilities. They are replacing water and sewerage, electrical, and internet/cable. I have no internet for my job right now.

What should be a road. In this shot it is a curb and some gravel. It will be a rails to trails segment, but it is a looooong ways off.

This is a construction project that stated last summer and will not be finished until Christmas. Crosses all out E-W roadsI can’t walk to uptown without either entering the construction or walking in the literal middle of the street. Car traffic changes weekly. (Taken on Charmera)

See, it’s only red if they cross the line when the flashing red is on…

I lived there for 16 years and now accept my new title of tourist when I come back. I don’t have to like it, but I would also never say what (I’m sure are) your guests say.

On to the important stuff. Like where am I getting this printed on premium stock to put in the second slot next to my certificate of investiture on the wall. The Boy Scout oath, er, code of chivalric conduct, can go back in the folder.

Apparently being a citizen of the Principality of Sealand for a specific amount of time means you’ll be conferred a deed of title. So in addition to my knighthood I’m now also a Lord. Not sure how titles work so y’all can call me Sir Lord el Spotto.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

(Said with a smile. I love my friends in the UK)

Well you see, the queen’s husband isn’t referred to as…you know, we don’t have to call em anything. As dire as things are right now we won the right to not have to in the 18th century.

*when our battle tank isn’t off carousing. Then we jump on them anyhow because we are goats.

If you’re gonna be a prepper, prep things that help maintain civilization. Like coffee. 😂🤣

12 pounds of green coffee!
10 of a blend called Ethiopique 2.0 that is heavy on (duh) Ethiopian coffees and then a 2 pound bag of an Ethiopian varietal that reminds me of chocolate covered blueberries.

The strategic coffee reserve is now in 2 large, well over 2/3 full burlap coffee sacks.

Yep. It’s a worse video than special frat boy in charge Patel chugging beers in the locker room.

So anyhow, now that the GOLD MEDAL WINNING women’s hockey team has decided to decline their royal summons, are we bombing someone today or nah?

Double ration. Same for folks who moved away and hear it every time they mention having lived in New Orleans.

Be right back, need to start working down my list.

It’s apparently a thing where the mental gymnastics include things like her dad is the “right kind of immigrant” and her dad isn’t her dad and she is indeed all white. Often both at the same time.

If bluesky didn’t make me scroll back through time and let me pick up where I left off, I might have seen this one. 🤣😂

Sounds like Panthers and Lightning fans need to apply some pressure to their teams as they each had 9 players selected.
