Heck, since they killed the timber industry in the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s tourism is our major “industry “ here in the north state. That and Ganja.

Had to see my allergist today for my bi-annual check up. Drove to Medford OR for a 30 minute appointment. The 6.0 ran like a top. Now I need to find some more N-97 masks to deal with the smoke.

Maybe I’ll smoke a tri tip or two this week since they are on sale.

Nuff said...
Peanut butter crackers, Cup of Noodles, and either milk, or Sunny D mango flavor. Feast fit for a king. The avocado is not ready yet, maybe by tomorrow.

I didn't sign up for this. It's supposed to be a high of 67. Once it hits 65, I will need air conditioning.

About $15 for 1 piece of tri tip. Not too bad. Considering that you could feed five or six people. Or a single person could stretch that out for 5 days worth of meals. A few slices as roast beef. A few slices for sandwiches. A few pieces in your cup of noodles. Plus, you get 2 pieces. You will have enough for next week. There's value with that cut

You can buy 15 Cup of noodles for $15 and feed one person 15 times. I think I'll get the chicken drums for $9.61
In other news, the Chicago mayor is accusing former President Nixon for the 109 shooting deaths in his city over the July 4th weekend. That is ridiculous. Blaming someone who has been dead 30 years? And whose civil rights record was better than most.
Unreal.

I hate you. I laughed so hard, I fell out of my chair and hit my head.

I blame Oprah. Not for global violence. Just violence in Chicago. It's Oprah's fault for doing nothing. She could do something about it, and she didn't. Depraved Indifference. She is watching people die in front of her, and not offering any assistance.

Your noodles will be half price if you buy them from Amazon. But there's a chance that the delivery gets lost. Then The Asian Guy gets to enjoy your noodles. Amazon lost my delivery today. There's a photo of a house, which isn't mine. They took it somewhere. Where? I don't know. But not my house.

That is "buy 1 get 1" chicken. You get 2 packs of chicken. I think there's 12 drumsticks in the package. So you get 24 for $9. That could be the whole week's supply of food, if you make a huge pot of chicken soup.

Works for me! I don't have a problem with deliveries anymore. And the Asian guy is pretty honest. When my scooter was not working, I had to order delivery from Walmart and they went to his place first, and he told them where to go.
As for the Chicago mayor, I am not surprised that he is shifting the blame off himself, but to pick on someone who has been dead three decades is ridiculous.

Every city should have live news helicopters.


You are "gangsta", when your momma comes out to tell you to surrender.

That is too funny. I bet they are repeat offenders too. "Let little Johnny go. He didn't mean it." Prosecutor's are too soft on crime these days. But of course, now they have no choice as the Gavinator wants to close down the prisons. So no place to put them. Hey, I have an idea, they can all stay at his place!!!

When it rains, it pours.

Amazon lost a bunch of my packages a few weeks ago. It happened again. Then it happened again today. Now I'm on the phone with somebody from India.

I think that there must be something wrong with the American driver. We need to teach the next generation how to read.

That is odd. I have not had any problems with Amazon drivers in a long time now.
