Jeezo. We’re going on 24 hours straight of this off-the-charts wind. If we had rain, Bogart, Bacall, and Robinson it’d feel like “Key Largo” around here.
We had wind and rain last week. And rain again this week. My sump pump runs non-stop in this weather causing me grief.
My comment, “ you had one job!” was directed at the Wills and Wade fiasco. What a plot twist. If only it was a movie.
The Sheriff’s name in “Key Largo” is Wade!
Yeah, that’s one of the many items that caused me to go all radio-silence for a spell. What was Fani Willis thinking, if anything? Talk about an own goal.
I wasn’t riding anywhere yesterday, Bubba. In fact, I tried to go outside as little as possible. Wind, sand, dust, pollen … Albuquerque becomes Arrakis. If Stilgar had loaned me a stillsuit I might have considered a short jog, but there still would’ve been a strong chance of getting blown right into a sandworm’s jaws.
Speaking of Dune, we went to see Dune Part Two last week. No spoilers, but I wasn’t quite pleased with the ending. Would I recommend seeing it in a theater? Yes.
Did you read the book? I wasn’t content with the ending there. And I don’t think Frank Herbert was, either, which explains why he wrote the followup, “Dune Messiah,” which I guess will be installment No. 3 in this movie trilogy.
I probably should reread that book, but it’ll mean finding a fresh copy, as mine is long gone. I dove fairly deeply into the “Dune” pile Back in the Day® and it started going sideways pretty quickly, like Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” series. “Messiah” came to seem like the proper ending point for the “Dune” saga.
I think the movie director and writers agree with you. Definitely another part coming. I thought the bookending closed out one story. Yea, you knew the future of Muad’Dib was another story. I like movies and sequels that can each stand alone.
First time in the low 60’s sun and little wind. finally!!! I think the judge did a good thing with the Willis fiasco. Can you imagine how Pissed she is? More incentive to pull out all the stops to get The Orange Julius Ceasar wanna-be. I hope she nails his fat ass to the wall and tans his testicle sack for a???????? pick your noun here. Mi espousa is researching places i N. Italy if the dumpster should win. Just watched the first dune movie again, will due later part one tonight and then see what it is all about for Dune 2.
I don’t plan on moving anywhere if several million people in this country are actually uneducated and / or ignorant enough to vote for the last loser. It only means that as a citizen, I’ll have to work my pen hand, my great big soapbox nail driving hand, and my street corner shouting voice that much harder to insure that this country doesn’t become a sideshow Venezuela.
That’s the spirit. Herself and I agree. We’re not going anywhere. I have some small experience with being a public pain in the ass that I can bring to bear, and anyone who crosses swords with Herself is gonna find himself in need of prompt medical attention. It’s not exactly how we’d like to spend our Golden Years, but if that’s the hand we’re dealt, we’ll play it.
Shit, I am too old to go anywhere. And, I have been to a war, so I’m not afraid of this punk or his cultists. This nation of laws will hold. If the shit gets serious on the street, he would hide in his bunker again. A double tap or two, backed up with SWAT Teams, would have stopped the January 6 shit immediately.

Two four letter words you never say on a ride are wind and work.

How about a dog poop bag?
Tatoo “Punk Sac” on it and hang it in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I hate moving. Been doing it all my life and I’m slightly over it. Especially if a longish water crossing is involved.
Plus, who wants to learn a new language at age 70? I’m only just now starting to get a handle on English. The debased U.S. version, anyway.
