Yes, but please don't name me Sue...

Montana, South Carolina and Arkansas are stopping the extra $300 unemployment payment benefits as the economy rebounds. Several states have begun requiring those receiving unemployment benefits to show they are actively searching for work.

Same here with the gas prices; right around 2.60; there's so much going on the world with the inflation (and maybe food shortages coming this summer), Jerusalem on fire, rumors of wars, etc.....much of the world seems clueless abou it. Interesting times for sure
It is a warm 12.778°C with a high expected of 19.444°.
I mowed yesterday. This time of year I mow every three to four days just so I will not have such windrows of hay. I mow at 3.5" so that if rain delays me for a couple days I can go to 4" for a mowing and then drop down to 3.75" the next time and then back to 3.5". I gotter figured out!
It is a warm 55.0°F with a high expected of 67°.

I enjoyed that video BBUK. I had the experience of landing on carriers a few times in what they called a COD -- Carrier Onboard Delivery aircraft. Quite a thrill. You are sure you are going to crash into the deck on landing, and sure you are going to sink into the sea on departure. Other than that, it is fun.

I thought a couple of you guys might be interested in the below plaque. In the months before the Desert Storm air war I spent a few weeks on the USS Saratoga in the Red Sea, writing mostly about the pilots. Unbelieveable young men, a couple of whom were about to become KIA and POW while striking Baghdad.
They gave me the below certificate after 'busting my cherry' by landing on a carrier the first time. It was a bit of a gentle joke. If being strapped in white with anxiety, teeth gritted and eyes closed and expecting any second to be consumed in a fireball makes you an "Honorary Naval Aviator" then I am one. But I did get to see what it takes for the real Naval Aviators to succeed, and they are incredible pilots and really heroic.

Just got off the phone with Germany. Called my "Ersatz Mutti" (substitute momma) and wished her a happy 83rd birthday. I've known her and her family for 38 years. She's well.
I know someone through a friend that had their house broken into 2 years in a row. Same time of year. Then again 2 weeks or so after 2nd break in. You can guess what time of year it was. Guarantee they were seen loading things into and out of their car.
I don't post anything personal except for close friends and family. The rest can't really see those posts. I post/shate some comedic or UK sports stuff for public consumption. If I post anything about anywhere that I go, it's done at least a day and up to 2 weeks after I've gone there, even if I "check-in" there. Always have done it that way. Too many tales from acquaintances about negative things happening because they shared real time stuff on social media
Fried squash with a hint of broccoli flavor
One in Lexington had to close (not permanently) because they kept leaving the back door open all day. Health dept closed em. Last time I ate there was the time before I saw a cat walk in the back door on a weekday.
Sadly, with the cyber attack and Memorial Day around the corner, I expect it to go up even more in the coming days.
The F.B.I. confirms that DarkSide, a ransomware group, was behind the hack of a major U.S. pipeline. (Published 2021)
A deputy national security adviser said that the government believed DarkSide was “a criminal actor” but was looking for any ties to nation-states.www.nytimes.com
I have my doubts about who actually hacked it. If the agencies are pushing a culprit on the news, I will always have doubts after the corruption and politics of the past years. Any agency these days could make the hack look like whomever they wanted it to look like.
Love those things.Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and cloudy. Rain chances increasing around 2 pm. Today's high expected reaching 79°F.
Some Latino guy pulled up in our driveway at 1:30 am this morning and started banging on the door. Wife was up. Dog came unglued. I never heard a thing. According to wife, he spoke Spanish, wanted in and pointed at North Lamar. We've got two locked doors for good reasons. He backed out of driveway and left.
Found out yesterday we're heading back to the office by September 1. We might transfer to previous location, where I worked 2010 - 2018. I can live with that.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
You misunderstood. I wasn't talking about people that don't have jobs. I was simply making a point that people I know who have jobs aren't going back to the office until they don't have to wear a mask. Most of them said if they wouldn't wear a mask for 38-60 an hour, there's no way they'd do it in a kitchen for 12-15 an hour, especially when they're getting money to stay home.
Fcol, TEACHERS are refusing to go to work all over the country. If masks and shots worked, why are any schools still closed? Same reason other people won't go to work. They get paid anyway, and don't have to do the work they used to do.
You want to get people to work, shut off the internet
On paper anyway. Yeah it happens...
I put the Ant poison to one of those yesterday.Good morning D League
Woke up to a nice morning, 68° and clear skies. Our high is expected to reach 82° and we have a 15% chance of rain. We could use a little rain down here. More than a little.
I trust all have a great day.
It's truly amazing how bad things can get when a coordinated effort (collusion) takes place to make it so. We had protests over abuses worldwide just 2 years ago, but they've all been silenced after a year now. Weird

MAN! That is GORGEOUS!
We had a recurring garden guard each year when I was a kid. 6 inch black and yellow weaver that scared the snickers out of my sisters. Put up a web 3.5 feet by over 4ft and only fought hard with a praying mantis every other year or so. Been trying to find some of these beautiful garden spiders for our property, but haven't had much luck

I don't remember racing history that well. Did Bob Baffert win a lot before 2000?
An old billiards partner of mine doesn't wear his wedding ring anymore because he has more solicitations when he wears it. It's pretty sick how big of a difference it makes. I've seen it first hand to the point that I almost started to wear one when we were out.
Have a great afternoon, D League! No better afternoon then one spent after a productive (and for each of us that's different) morning! Whatever you got done, I hope you did it well!
I can honestly say I have never cheated on my wife. Over the years there has been a couple of women who may have flirted but I never returned the attention so it went nowhere. However, for the most part that has been limited and I feel it is because maybe I neither initiated it and didn't partake in it in return if they did.
We have seen it. You can't see it too many times!!!
- Good Morning you D-Leagueanite Rapscallions and Lurkers.
- Two cups of that Green Mountain Dark Magic.
- Saw a 12 count flock of Turkey Vultures on Sunday evening. I've never seen that many at one smorgeous board before (one little squirrel.)
- No White Tails to report.
- One Shih Tsu sweetie pie.
- Gasoline nearing $3 for 87.
- Hiring price down to $9.50 at Bojangles. It was $15 not long ago.
- #3 is supposed to be home for a month soon. He is a Buck Sgt.
- No other news.
- As you were.
- Carry on.
How do you know that?

That reminds me, there is a German restaurant in Lawton called "Mutti's" I used to go too and have not been in a while. Looks like a weekend lunch date coming up this weekend.
Thank you. Today has been productive and I managed to get a lot of light yard work done. Some kind of critter is tearing up our flower beds. I have no idea what it is but they are digging like crazy every night. A .22 should take care of that if I can catch them.
I just finished off a plate of tamales and now I am headed to the pool with a big plastic jar of pork skin rinds to relax the rest of the afternoon. My two favorite snacks are boiled peanuts and pork skins. They are addictive
Armadillos?Thank you. Today has been productive and I managed to get a lot of light yard work done. Some kind of critter is tearing up our flower beds. I have no idea what it is but they are digging like crazy every night. A .22 should take care of that if I can catch them.

In Jacksonville the little turds would do anything for a grub or something like that that they were digging for. I finally killed every damned one of them.
Best pork skins I ever had, were at a flea market in Paintsville. They would make them fresh for you. I would grab 4-5 bags before leaving every time I went.Thank you.
