29 crew gone.

The ship sunk.

So tragic a maritime accident that there were ballads composed about the loss.

The Edmund Fitzgerald.

Gordon Lightfoot did the most famous telling of the story, I think.

 So, a single seat airplane, carrying two people,  with 2500 or so lbs of “Pink Water”….flying low and slow.

What could go wrong?

Plane crashes during “Gender Reveal” stunt. 

Pretty much everything that they taught me not to do,

In other words, fucked up by the numbers.

Luckily, no one was seriously injured.

But stupid, poorly planned stunts usually lead to stupid failures.

At the end of the day, one has to realize that cropduster pilots are insane and take terrible risks. (They are also pretty good pilots, at least normally). 

Possibly even “Hate Crime”

Teacher brutally beats student. 

Not a proportional response. If a teacher can’t handle things better than this, they should not be allowed to be  teaching students.

In the day, a parent or another adult family member would have handled this sort of issue and there would be a lesson learned. And people would have expected things to happen that way. I’d insist on jail time were that my kid. 

Really cold.
Near record cold, Like at or near single digits here in the greater Chicago area.

I call Global Cooling.

We MUST produce increased amounts of Methane, CO2, and other greenhouse gasses in quantity to prevent an ice age. It is a crisis. There may well be a consensus of affected people.

This isn’t just weather here, folks.

Update: It appears the arctic air will (likely) set records across the US, from the Central Plains all the way to the Deep South.

But no worry? It is just “Weather” not “Global Warming” “Climate Change”….

” Because, unlike Epstein, they won’t hang themselves”

I had no cogent reply to that. 

All the other 4 cycle equipment that won’t (probably) be used until spring got a similar treatment (minus the oil, of course) Run empty, refilled with a bit of fuel that will evaporate and not leave residue or varnish behind, and run until completely empty.

This ensures they will start when needed after sitting for months.

I recommend this for all gasoline powered equipment.
Especially stuff you might need in an emergency.

Proper storage matters. 

And they know it, you can tell. They take really bad coffee and make it really strong. So you end up with coffee that is mostly undrinkable. (perhaps so they never get asked for refills??)

Its like the Liberals.and their programs..something doesn’t work, a government program returns shitty results, so we should do it more…..only harder.

Same same with coffee.
Coffee isn’t hard, one simply needs to start with a good product, and do it right…proper proportions brewed correctly…..which makes for a good cup.
Shitty ingredients are NOT improved by heavier dosing.

We have a Ballot Box. We SHOULD be using it.
Yet the lies, cheating, and fraud make that box much less effective than it should be.

We have other boxes, but when to use them?

Analysis: True (in most cases)

27 kids registered. Plus likely 4-6 walk ins. (We don’t ever turn anyone away as long as we can fit ’em into the classroom)

I’ll be working ’til 5 or 6.

But it is paying it forward, and all that.
