Post Race!

The Lewis family ran an ad asking for information about his disappearance on Carol Baskin’s debut of dancing with the stars.

That is hilarious!

[Delaney]

some god-like adonis to graduate out of Hogwarts with a nobel prize in headless drupal on rails with agile consulting scrum-mastering doctorships falling out of their ears. Bah.

well, all new graduates thinks they are just that. I had a couple at works we had to re-educate to real life.

I always picture this as a parachutist dangling from the branches of a tree looking embarrassed.

[Shaggy Hiker]

We may get rain today and tomorrow. While this may help some fires, and possibly start more (if we get lightning), it should clean the air, if nothing else.

[Delaney]

Are you still confined ?

[Shaggy Hiker]

No, my colleague was tested for COVID and strep, both tests came back negative, so we are good to go. Darn good thing, too, as I was running out of food in the house and would have had to do some delivery or curbside pickup if I was still quarantined.

[Delaney]

That's good to hear.

post race

[Shaggy Hiker]

I spent a week cutting up rotting fish. Some were pretty bad. One would have been REALLY bad, but we determined that it shouldn't have been there, so we didn't need to cut it up.

[dday9]

Chumming?

[Delaney]

Nice entertainment

[Shaggy Hiker]

No sharks in those waters.

I did get to float the upper Salmon River...up where floating is only a part-time thing. The water was shallow enough that I was wading and dragging the boat across many riffles.

[wossy]

No rotting fish left behind.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Oh no. We left LOTS of rotting fish behind.

[Shaggy Hiker]

We cut the tails off the fish to indicate that we have sampled them, so that the next time through we don't bother with them. In this case, there were hundreds of such fish in a single week. The banks of the stream looked like some kind of perverse sacrifice had taken place. All those fish with their tails cut off.

Somebody even reported that it was some kind of satanic thing. Seemed kind of fishy, to me.

[wossy]

Have you tried being nice instead?

[Delaney]

were you making some fish sauce ? or Surströmming ?

[Shaggy Hiker]

The fish were making their own sauce. They weren't in good shape.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Have you tried being nice instead?

NEVER!!! Heretic!

[dday9]

This part of the year is always a bit depressing because my wife’s parrain died on 2016/10/07.

Usually we try to go somewhere to try and make it so that we don’t have to think about it, but it looks like we won’t be able to this year.

I’m not sure what we’ll do this year.

That from a cat?!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Sardonic responses would be quite reasonable from a cat.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Telemedicine is really cool.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Did a colonoscopy that way.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Didn't want to mess up the house, so I used the computer at the public library.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Man, you'd never believe the amount of whining!!!

[wes4dbt]

Wont ask where the camera was.

[wossy]

Telemedicine, hmmm. That reminds me of the time Kojak had his own homeopathy show on QVC.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Televangelist telemedicine: Faith healing through your television.

[wossy]

Good one Shaggy. I'm lolling like they do on the myspace.

[Bonker Gudd]

Great minds think aloud, like a dancing clog.

[Shaggy Hiker]

A dancing clog? My clogs don't dance, they just keep water from flowing down the drain. It's troubling. Downright hairy, I'd say.

[wossy]

Clogs you say? Dogs in fogs for sure. Hats made of wax.
Dancing but not fencing? Surely they will escape.
Don't let the bees hear about it.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Too late, the hive is already buzzing about it.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Send in the murder hornets.

[wossy]

Oh my.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Apparently, Washington state tried to attach a tracking device to a murder hornet so that it would lead them to its hive. It didn't work. They think the device fell off, but we all know that the murder hornet removed it. They didn't get that name by being careless, after all.

The hornet was probably an ex tracking-device man, and saw the ruse coming from a mile away (classic Warshington move though, amiright?).



Look, I'm doing the best I can with what I've got, leave me alone.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It's the state of Washington, not the city. The state of Washington is more likely to set up a Starbucks and let the hornets come to them, rather than attempting to track them.

[Delaney]

Not hornet but ...
