Old, old technology

I was on a mountain hike and came to a complex trail junction. At said location there was a group wandering around looking at their phones apparently to find the right trail from their current position.

I yelled, " I have a map, want to look at it."

I used my hiking pole to kind of measure stand off distance. I pointed out their location on the map and they took a picture of it from a safe distance.

Maps. Don't run out of battery life. Don't need cell service.

Signed, old infantry guy.

Have a safe Thanksgiving all.

Chump is trying to "Weimar" the incoming Dems

Chump is trying to leave the incoming Dems with a ruined country, out of control pandemic, wrecked economy, militarized factions, unemployment spiraling, sycophantic Quisling politicians, cheerleader right wing judiciary, a media that abets factionalism, and a large segment of the population that will follow a dictator.

We got the Presidency, but the fight remains.

Read tonight

Biden won Michigan so many times he is now required to change his name to Ohio State. 😀

Why chess is the perfect game?

Because whether King or pawn, everyone ends up in a box.

Start a new definition trend

Chump hates to be called a loser. Let’s change soreloser/tantrum to pulling a “trump.”

Example: He lost the tennis match, threw his racquet and generally pulled a Trump.

Many years ago I became a fan of Camus'

"The Plague." I think I will have to go back read it again. What I don't recall is the government actively trying to stop Dr. Fauci, I mean Dr. Rieux, from doing his job.

No, that would be absurd.

Orange Voldemort's mentality about COVID

reminds me of what was once said about the War Office in France WW1 when it came to hiding casualties.

Analogous to that War Office, Chump keeps 3 sets of COVID figures: one to mislead the public, one to mislead the Cabinet, and one to mislead himself.

I just read where a slogan modeled on the seat belt saying

"Click it or Ticket" is being offered. The saying you could tell someone is "Mask It or Casket."

I prefer "Fuck Off and Die You Chump Worshipping Zombie."

That's just me, though.

Notice to hikers

If are you on a very steep trail and you stumble, and your reaction is to save the Starbucks drink in your hand, rather than brace yourself.

Please don't EMS afterwards.

Thank you.

Given Trump election rules

I protest because I was never voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I was a wiffle ball legend.
