Ser, a rotund orange cat sits with his hind leg extended and a look of surprise on his face. There are no thoughts to be had

I have a small collection of orange cats, but this is Ser. There are no thoughts.

Monroe had his first trip to the dog wash today. He’s pretty good at sulking

The DNC also has Superdelegates that they can and have used to swing the outcome heavily, thats a big part of how we ended up with the candidate we did back in 2016

/waves. Mayor of a small City, and this, This is why I have the election for my 3rd term coming up.

Update, it turns out this is my Cousin’s doing.

A Santa kleenex holder next to a small wooden plaque with “Life is Short, Lick the Bowl” printed on it. All located on the lid of a toilet tank.

Found at my Grandmother’s house today

We’ve had a surprising number of members for our Board of Aldermen get elected with 2-3 write in votes. Somehow, helping govern a 4th class city is just not the draw you’d think it is.

I was Elected and Re-Elected Mayor by doing precisely this. Oh. And elected to the Board of Aldermen twice with the same process. It was a surprise the first time for sure

@neolithicsheep.bsky.social I started scrolling back through your posts to find the link, but your post history is prolific. Could I bother you to put the link up again for the Afghan Patus you’ve mentioned in the past.

We were floating them at the welders working adjacent to us. But we filled them with our B tanks of acetylene

And ultimately, if you are shoveling it out, then composting is probably as good an answer as any, but what an unpleasant task.

Oh sorry, I meant that a lot of those outhouses have a pit under them that you have to empty. Some are made to be pumped, some just dig a new one, move the outhouse, and fill in the old. And others... well you have to shovel them out, hopefully from a hatch behind the outhouse.

Composting in that it periodically needs to be shoveled out and something has to be done with the waste.

Halloween is coming up quickly…

I have some bare land a couple of hours south of there that I hope to retire on. I don’t think I can convince my wife to switch plans for a place with an outhouse, but I might still try

13 seems to be where we’ve landed. No one is ever alone in this house.

Orange kitties have no thoughts. Therefore no Sins

May be hard to get it hot enough until we remove the concrete

This is a neat outcome from a service call I went on. The call was “high electric bills” and had been an issue for over a year. That, my friends, is a hot water leak under the concrete slab. We’ll be remediating that next week.
