Am I the only one that does this?

When I see Byron taking a nap on the floor, I put a cushion under his head to make sure he’s comfortable.

I ❤️ freecycled furniture

Posted on June 2, 2024 By admin

An elderly lady was giving away a sideboard. It’s not small (1.6m x 1.4m) and being solid wood, it’s not light. She bought it in 1966, so it’s older than I am. Getting it home was a bit of an adventure, as Gino, Colin and I had to manhandle it down two flights of twisty stairs, then roll home on two handcarts. But we did it!

What this set off though was a mad tetris game in the flat to move furniture around. In the end, we shifted several frames, two 4×4 kallax bookcases, one 2×4 kallax, one 2×2 and we’re going to get rid of three tables in a upcoming tip run.

The very stable genius is now a convicted felon

Posted on May 31, 2024June 2, 2024 By admin

Will it change anything? Possibly yes, but probably no. The conviction, and even imprisonment, which is highly unlikely to ever happen, will not bar Trump from continuing his pursuit of the White House.

From the AP:

“Though the legal and historical implications of the verdict are readily apparent, the political consequences are less so given its potential to reinforce rather than reshape already-hardened opinions about Trump.”

Trump once boasted that he could shoot someone in the streets of New York and people would still elect him.

Again from the AP:

“For another candidate in another time, a criminal conviction might doom a presidential run, but Trump’s political career has endured through two impeachments, allegations of sexual abuse, investigations into everything from potential ties to Russia [anyone remember the pre-pee tape kompromat story?] to plotting to overturn an election, and personally salacious storylines including the emergence of a recording in which he boasted about grabbing women [by the pussy].”

Trump still has 3 other active felony cases, on election tampering and national security secret document mishandling, but none of those will eb decided before the fall elections. I’m hoping common sense will prevail, but this is ameri Al. Politics we’re talking about, so who the hell knows.

Chonking through the irises

We took Byron to Vuillerens. He enjoyed the sculpture garden, the fairy forest but was getting a bit hot in the iris beds.

Quote of the day

The Alchemist's Guild is opposite the Gambler's Guild. Usually. Sometimes it's above it, or below it, or falling in bits around it.
--(Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms)
