I bought a 4 pack of Guiness Stout Draft cans tonight.

After consumption, I see that each can as a roughly 1" (25.4mm) plastic ball in the can. What is up with that?

February 18, 2021

So I did a dumb thing today.

Made my bi-monthly trip to walmart for some groceries, but mainly to recharge my bird-food supply. It's about 24 degrees here in Maine and I left my parka and gloves in the car. Shop and return. Open the drivers door with key, put keys on dash and, instead of hitting the door open switch for my doors, I hit door closed.....and shut the drivers side door.

In that moment, I thought, I am screwn. Phone was left back home, 20 miles away. Now what?

So, this guy comes walking past me and sees I am royally pissed. "Hey, bud, what's up?" Explained my stupidity and he pulls out his phone and calls a local towing/vehicle assistance person to come to my assistance. Had to wait 15 minutes in the freezing cold, but this lady shows up with a door opening tool. She unlocked it. In that moment, I wanted to hug her....but I happily paid her service fee via a debit.

Could have been worse......

Tech note: Dodge Dakota, 2005. Real key, real problems when you leave real key in the truck and lock the door.

The Legacy of Rush Limbaugh - MSNBC - Reild, Milbank, Sykes.

Rush begat Trump. Rush created the Republican hate of their political opponents. If you didn't watch, locate the video. Sykes was brutal on what Rush did to this country.

There's one thing that Rush taught me.

There is money to be made by someone who can communicate well crafted lies.

It's not a 9/11-type Inquiry......

It's a 1/6 Insurrection Inquiry. Can we make this the topic of conversation going forward? Does 1/6II sound like a way to digitally communicate it?

There is some speculation that this will be Nancy Peolsi's last term.

If so, who would be the Democrat in the House that you would like to see lead the House in 2022? I think it needs to be someone who has serious legislative experience and great communication skills.

After watching the House Impeachment Manager in action, Rep. Raskin would seem to fit the bill.
