I live in Fort Collins, as some of you may know. Stepping out in the morning to get the newspaper for the last few days, I smelled smoke. While out for a ride on Wednesday, I could see the smoke cloud rising from about 15-20 miles away. It’s kind of reminiscient of when I was a kid in Southern California, where we had a number of big fires when I was in Jr. High and High School. I’ve been living East of the Mississippi for the last few years, and I had forgotten about this part of living in the West.
I hope that tonight’s rain helps them put the damn thing out, and that the next few weeks are wet enough to help, but not so wet that it keeps me indoors and off my bike. How’s that for mixed feelings about the weather?

With all due appreciation for your biking, I hope it rains (non-flooding) cats and dogs for the next few weeks.

I have to say, #ElonMusk buying Jasbro would be what would be needed to get me to change out from #DnD. Sort of like it was enough for me to quit #Twitter.

And a second milestone for the week. Today I (somewhat unexpectedly) retired.

I realize #RandPaul is a hack who will do anything to get headlines ... but the idea of him preaching the gospel of federal law being superior to state law is ... bitterly amusing.

A major milestone anniversary in my life today: 30 years ago this date, I arrived in #Denver.

Never regretted it.

Our helpful #trash company has provided, free of charge (except as some fractional amount of our trash bill over time) brand new giant #garbagecans which their new trash trucks can easily lift and empty.

Without being concerned, apparently, as to whether folk actually have the space (esp. those of us who keep our trash cans inside the garage, given our snowy winters) for these significantly larger cans.

So I spent the day re-configuring my garage shelving, dagnabbit.

"GOP senator introduces bill to legally erase transgender people"

Dark times ahead, friends. The barbarians are not only at the gates, some folk decided they like the look of the barbarians better, and let them in.

Every time I think #Republican politicians can't be bigger assholes, they prove me wrong. Every single time.

Looking at you (today), #NancyMace.

"Elon Musk Criticizes Dana Carvey’s ‘SNL’ Impression, Says Show “Has Been Slowly Dying for Years”"

Is there anything so perennial, and predictable, as a thin-skinned celebrity criticizing SNL for hurting their feelings? It's almost as inevitable as people predicting the imminent demise of SNL.

The closing words of Russell's Autobiography.

I am finding them quietly inspiring.

"I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken."

-- Bertrand Russell

Here's hoping. #election2024

So rather than spending the day doomscrolling, I spent much of it posting (and reposting) quotations about #elections, #voting, and presidential #character at my #quotations website.

Lucky for you, I made a consolidated post at my highly neglected blog, so you can see them all in one place.

I can only assume that half the voting public, according to polls, actually *want* things to get "nasty" for a while. Probably because they assume it will be nasty for someone else, and they are okay with that.

We've been warned.

Legal Lingo

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
