PC(USA) pastor, hymn text writer, something else I forgot (oh yeah, ex-musicologist who still isn’t over it) hanging out in SE KS for another year at least. Highly intolerant of BS. h/h/h

The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law included funds to elevate 19 single-family homes in the Florida Keys. I love the Keys, but the cruel math says that our limited adaptation dollars are better spent elsewhere.

For some reason I felt compelled to look back at my earliest skeets (I mean, really? skeets?), and anyway, I totally stand by this one.

Shortest game I ever saw in person came when Luke Hochevar, who never threw another quality start in his life, threw an 80-pitch complete game shutout for the Royals (when they were bad before they were good).

I feel like I should be writing one of those letters from Civil War soldiers that ended up in the Ken Burns series. “Dearest Eliza, the firing was relentless this day, bullets and bombs raining down like the beginning of the Apocalypse…”

With all this talk about fitness for office, it’s worth noting flagrant criminality, treason, and rape are not considered by the press to be relevant.

OK, I’m never living in a town named Independence again. The fireworks may not stop around here until 5 a.m. I don’t mean the town’s official show, which just ended. I wonder if some of these folks are fantasizing about bombing enemy towns.

May I make a small suggestion? We have arrived at a point where certain media outlets have fully taken up a posture of defeating Biden at all costs, so maybe take certain stories they publish and push with several grains, nay, shakerfulls of salt. (Yes, I’m saying they’re lying.)

It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?

Burning coal is the most dirty, polluting, and inefficient way to get electricity.
As early as 1306, Edward I banned Londoners from burning it, due to its noxious smog.
So which countries are phasing it out the fastest now?
Greece and the UK lead the way!

Eventually people will realize that if they aren’t arresting or even assassinating, they’re acquiescing, and they’ll decide they don’t want to acquiesce. And what happens then?

Just to make everything better, my denomination voted to continue funding Cat 5 hurricanes (like Beryl), big ol’ tornado outbreaks, droughts, extreme wildfire conditions, etc. etc.

We’re assuming that this Supreme Court won’t intervene in this election to make sure Trump gets in?
