Dang, Shannon is up early this morning.
TGIF! Didn’t think we’d make it.

Good morning Hamsters. Lots of ground mist and 74 at 7, regrettably again the only moisture nature is likely to provide today. Sprinklers are on and near finishing their cycles in the yards, but cracks in the pastures are getting larger. We could at least use a couple inches of shade today.

Where’s my eye bleach this morning?

Eye bleach? I think the sammich dilemma is hilarious. Stereotypes as far as the eye can see! 🙂

I guess WordPress is telling me to get some exercise – took over a DOZEN failed attempts to log in this morning
Heck I showered and everything

Why does COH parks department trucks pulling trailers on the freeway need blindingly bright flashing strobe lights on the back of the trailers? The trailer had all the stop/running lights working in fine order, why the wiss is it necessary to blind everybody behind that rig while it is going down the fargin freeway???
On the same note, why do garbage trucks need that flashing light at all?? I mean it is a big fargin garbage truck for cryin out loud, if someone can’t see the truck the damned flashing lights aren’t going to help. . . .
/moronic insurance regs and bs.spits!

For the same reason that drive-thru ATMs need Braille keypads.

Precisely. However one must consider the scenario in which a sighted person is doing the driving and the passenger is the blind one who needs to make the withdrawal. Other than that, it is nuts.

#13,14: The only reason that could make any sense is if they use the same machine face/keypad for all the machines – drive up or walk up.

Most rear windows don’t roll all the way down so they wouldn’t be conducive for a blind person to access.

But I think you’re right, they’re probably all made like that.

In Ontario cali. Pilot just announced there’s a ground stop in Phoenix because of a hole in the runway. I guess it just magically appeared. I could see that happening in Florida but in the desert?

#18: I seem to recall that the interior southwest has gotten an extreme amount (for them) of rain this season; perhaps there is a connection.

Earlier in the week a flash flood washed out I-10 at the Arizona California border. Signs this morning said it was still closed.

(CNSNews.com) – A study commissioned by the National Black Chamber of Commerce, which represents 2.1 million black-owned businesses in the United States, found that the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan would increase black poverty by 23 percent and cause the loss of 7 million jobs for black Americans by 2035.
The study also found that the EPA’ plan would increase Hispanic poverty by 26 percent and cause the loss of 12 million jobs for Hispanic Americans by 2035.
The EPA proposed the Clean Power Plan on June 2, 2014 to cut carbon emissions from power plants. The National Black Chamber of Commerce commissioned the study to evaluate the potential economic and employment impacts of the plan on minority groups.

Next door neighbors are out of town for a few days, so we and other neighbors are a tag team looking after their two horses. Their kids feed them twice a day and we look in on them twice a day and keep the water tanks full.
The looking in part is easy, if there are two horses standing up eating, things are ok, barring any signs of injury. Now the water tanks require a bit more work. One horse likes to play with the float on one tank, as in he pulls it off. Putting it back on does not last long, so we manually top off the 100 gallon tanks.
Last evening when we checked the water levels in both tanks were down some, and the float on one was askew thanks to Reggie. Spouse filled that one but left the float off, then went to the other one to discover an almost drowned squirrel clinging to the rim with its front paws and unable to climb out. He must have tried getting a drink with the water level too low and fell in.
Fortunately the owners keep a large spaghetti strainer next to the tanks to scoop out leaves and debris. Spouse scooped out the squirrel who leaped screaming from the strainer in mid arc and cussed a blue streak as he ran to a tree and climbed it. He was drenched greased lightning.

Why does COH parks department trucks pulling trailers on the freeway need blindingly bright flashing strobe lights on the back of the trailers?
You can thank the D.O.T. and the guy that “invented” that flashing light. How it works.
Flashing lite guy goes to the DOT and convinces them that installing those lights will make the truck more visible. He probably approached them with numbers of rear end collisions which are mostly caused by tail gating. The light is supposed to also warn the drivers to not follow so close. Thus reducing the number of rear end accidents.
R I G H T .The D.O.T. almost automatically says, “hey that sounds like a good idea” and wallah we get to see that annoying flashing light that actually does nothing at all but add to one more thing that the driver can get fined for when the lights go out.
That is the process in a nutshell. Don’t you feel better now? Don’t you feel safer?
-
Our mother was extremely sensitive to flashing lights and avoided strobe lights because they triggered very intense migraine headaches for her.
I hope one of these similarly afflicted people sues the TxDoT.

Representatives from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox say they’ve asked Planned Parenthood to remove their names as corporate donors to the embattled organization.
The move follows a Daily Signal report revealing the names of 41 companies that Planned Parenthood listed as donors. That list, which was featured on Planned Parenthood’s website, has since been removed.

Ain’t TxDot it is the Feds that handles junk like that.

“Only the disciplined mind can see reality, Winston. You believe that reality is something objective, external, existing in its own right. You also believe that the nature of reality is self-evident. When you delude yourself into thinking that you see something, you assume that everyone else sees the same thing as you. But I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party.”

The Inspectors General of the Department she used to head and the Director of Intelligence, both Departments run by the Obama Administration and not the Republican Party, have requested the Department of Justice open a Criminal Investigation of the top contender for the Democrat Party’s Candidate for President.

I’ve read that flashing lights can trigger seizures in epileptics as well as having a hypnotic effect on others. In other news, Ted Cruz calls Bit__ McConnell a liar on the floor of the Senate – is the news that (1) he’s a liar or (2) somebody in authority had the cajones to stand up and say so? We’re in a heap of trouble folks.

Cruz called BMitch McConnell a liar again on Limbaugh’s show just now. He asked the question, after listing the funding of Ocare, confirmation of Loretta Lynch, passing the crapulous bill, etc “What would Harry Reid have done differently?”
I can imagine that McConnell’s blood is boiling now, I hope he gets so wissed off that he resigns. . . . .

Limbaugh just reported that BMitch McConnell is now going to fast track defunding Planned Parenthood. Less than 2 hours ago, Ted Cruz said McConnell refused to do this. Dya think McConnell’s phone and emails are getting “a little warm?”

If the PP defund passes the Senate, will Agent Orange kill it in the House? Will either be able to muster the 2/3 vote necessary to override the veto that we all know is coming? Can this defund be extended to all federal agencies and quasi agencies like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc?

Dya think McConnell’s phone and emails are getting “a little warm?”If he allows the vote on the Ex-Im bank, he’s still a liar—and this is what its really all about.
Ex-Im was killed once, but the Cronyists in both parties want it back.
-
I repeat:
This is NOT about Planned Parenthood. The Planned Parenthood vote is a smoke screen put up by Ried and McConnel to get the Ex-Im vote
-
Cruz spoke of the EXIM bank on Limbaugh’s show this afternoon. He is opposed to it big time and because of the reach of that show, now it is all out in the open. Wouldn’t it be nice to see both kilt?

Ted told Mitch and his supporters how the cow ate the cabbage, from the well of the Senate, and nobody can miss that. Bold colors not pale pastels. With homage to Ronaldus Magnus and acknowledgment of the Reagan Revolution.
I’ve got a stack of 3″ pin on buttons featuring a picture of RR and the words Still Right.
Thinking they will be mighty popular before long. Got them from the Republican Party of Wisconsin some 6 months ago. Scott Walker also pays homage to RR with praises similar to Ted’s. Both campaigns could use bushel baskets of those buttons.
-
If for some tragic reason Cruz fails to secure the R nomination and/or POTUS, I hope he will be elevated to Senate Majority Leader so we could have some real leadership instead of collaboration with the enemy.
-
Yah.
Well one of the ways things can go wrong for Ted is if a lot of yayhoos keep following Donald Trump around like little puppy dogs.

Trump is serving a very valuable function; people love the message and Cruz is in agreement with most or all of Trump’s message. That a lot of people don’t like Trump the messenger plays very well for Cruz. When more people learn of Trump’s dirty laundry and the associated vulnerability he will lose popularity but the message will not. Trump is helping Cruz by getting out the message.

The 9th of Av (Hebrew Calendar) falls this weekend. On or about this day both Temples were destroyed and both world wars started.

One must not casually dismiss the thought that The Donald is deliberately a stalking horse for a serious conservative candidate or candidates.

Forty-something female sacker:
“Do you need help with those groceries?”/Just shoot me.

S’ok Shannon, we’ll all be in our sixties one day.
-
Hmmmmm—
I’ve never had a sacker of any age ask me if I needed help with the groceries.
-
Must have been asking the guy in line behind me…
-
#51 Shannon,
The sacker probably is instructed to inquire if the shopper needs or would like help with the groceries. Lots of folks regardless of apparent age have conditions that aren’t obvious and would appreciate help. Though it would be better to ask if the shopper would like help rather than say need help.
I’m frequently asked that and thank the person for asking but say I can manage myself. To the two ladies on checkout duty on the mornings I usually shop whose lanes I frequently use I confide that I have horses and can move hay bales and 50-lb sacks of feed—not great distances mind you—and can manage the groceries myself. They just grin, as they are likely only about 10 to15 or so years my junior.

I think Ted Cruz has found a way to get noticed. He is getting a whole bunch of traction from this.

He will stop those insulting 40 year old women from
hitting onasking us older gentlemen if we need help with our groceries -
I think Ted Cruz has found a way to get noticed.
If this were somebody like Cumbersome or Cornholio I would have to agree with you. Cruz strikes me as having way too much integrity to do something this bold simply to get attention; I think he has had quite a belly fully of the garbage in DC and is now hell-bent to do something about it. He will get a tremendous amount of traction from the move and it is well deserved.
Trump, while preaching the correct message is a fraud. Cruz is the genuine article and when people see them side by side the fraud becomes very apparent and the genuine article shines.

All the baggers and express-lane cashiers at my Kroger remember seeing me there on a walker, a cane, and a couple of times in the electric motor-cart. It amuses me that they are still asking if I need carry out help. I usually have a fair amount of 20-lb or heavier items in my cart, like bird seed, dog balls for the raccoons, cat litter, etc, but I am able to put a 40-lb box of litter on the tailgate and then slide it on it.
The only problem when they saw me looking like an invalid was that I couldn’t walk properly. 🙂

Dude.
Cruz is a politician, not a Saint.
He’s been brilliant on this politically. He refrained from attacking Trump like the other guys, then upstages him at pretty much the exact perfect moment. He waited until after the Establishment cast enough doubt on Trump to be affecting him at the polls. The Establishment waited until Trump’s made the inevitable idiot remark everybody but a bunch of fawning, doe eyed, followers and sycophants knew was coming. The only real surprise was just how bad the remark was going to be. Dumping on POW’s fer cryin out loud. Cruz is never going to be that stupid, and he’s politically savvy enough to let other people do the dirty work for him. He hasn’t alienated folks who were looking at Trump, and he hasn’t alienated Evangelicals like Trump did with this other idiot remark.
-
Trump is doing what he’s doing to benefit Cruz politically. I was in Roswell, NM earlier this week so I know how this stuff works.

Trump is more popular than y’all realize. If he is serious about this run of his, he stands a good chance of going all the way……….. unless he goes third party.
While his comment about McCain ruffled some feathers, the more the “R”elitist try to nullify him the more folks are flocking to him. Just hide watch and see.
-
Yeah… read a couple of pieces on NRO earlier today belly-aching about Trump. So I guess that makes it serious bidness for the Republicrats.

Its the talking back to the Establishment. Cruz sees that, he always had. Talking back to the Establishment has been his calling card, and yes, he’s talked about Illegal Immigration and Border Security even though some folks have talked themselves into believing that Trump is the first and only guy to do so (or more correctly, Trump has talked them into it).
As soon as somebody who isn’t the kind of butt wipe Trump is becomes known for taking on the Establishment, Trump will be yesterday’s news.
Right now, Ted Cruz is filling that role out in spades.

“Dog balls” is short-hand for bite-sized dry dog food.

Sarge, I am disappointed how you keep calling Trump’s criticism of McCain “dumping on POWs”. McCain is not an exemplar for all POWs. Trump didn’t dump on any soldier, any POW, other than McCain. There’s a name for what you are doing, when you imply (falsely) that Trump dissed all POWs. But I can’t think of it right now.
-

Uhhhh yeah. Right.
99% of politics now days is personality. Trump is abrasive and there is a huge bunch of folks that have been wanting just that. Trumps message is a brash………….
this is what is wrong (people like that) and I am gonna fix it (people like that too). And then he says he is going to make the other guy pay for it. What is not to like?BTW Adolph Hitler did the same thing.

There’s a name for what you are doing, when you imply (falsely) that Trump dissed all POWs. But I can’t think of it right now.Ummm–
When somebody says “He’s a Hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” he’s dumping on anybody who has ever been a POW. He’s implying that they did something wrong or were incompetent to some degree to end up as a POW.
He’s a disgusting piece of shoe scrapings for uttering that, and the only reason he hasn’t been dumped by everybody is they think they don’t have anybody who will talk the way he has. Or, as I said above, everybody he’s convinced that he’s the only one who talks that way. Ted Cruz has been doing that since he showed David Dewhurst how the cow ate the cabbage.
-
McCain is not an exemplar for all POWs.
THAT IS WAY SO MUCH BOVINE PROCESSED HAY
OH YES HE WAS. AND HE WAS DECORATED FOR HEROISM FOR ACTS HE COMMITTED BEFORE HE WAS SHOT DOWN.
-
And I tell you what ANY MAN or WOMAN that GOES INTO WAR IS A HERO. Especially in that God forsaken war, Viet Nam.
-
Just because McCain ranks as one of the worst politicians I have ever seem, that does not take away from what he did in Viet Nam.
I know lots of men that were/are heroes in war but miserable people in civilian life.That does not detract form what they did in the war.
-
Urinates me off highly when people pull that card.
-
And yes when Trump pulled that stunt he dumped on every serviceman that was taken prisoner in ANY WAR.
-
But I do agree that McCain isn’t an exemplar of all POW’s. But that’s because he did something above and beyond what a lot of other POWs would do if they were given the same chance: he refused to be repatriated when it was offered to him by the enemy, saying instead that he would stay there until everybody else went home.
There really is no excuse for giving Trump a pass on this. He just ain’t that nice of a guy.
-
Crap.
It urinates me off as much as it does Squawk.
Trumply poo took every freaking advantage he could from that silver spoon he was born with—up to and including getting multiple deferments.
McCain purposefully and deliberatly avoided taking advantage of the prestige of his family. He chose living in a Hell Hole for three more years instead.
The Donald spent that time wooing the first Mrs Trump in expensive New York night clubs and on the family yacht.
