I didn’t have a problem with the link at Wikipedia. It opened and I clicked on the map. Done.

Now, it’s come out that Roy Moore was a widely known weirdo at the local mall in Gadsden, Alabama back in the 70s. People all over the town are saying it was common knowledge. How in the hell did Roy Moore get elected to anything with this kind of history ? What in the world goes on in Alabama politics… Read more »

That link, launched from hamous.org, spins a long time but never gets anywhere. I put the URL in the clipboard to experiment and see what was wrong wif it. Pasted in, noticed had a .tif on the end. But it loaded up Ok in a separate tab. Did you change it since then?

A guy on Twitter has posted a thread of tweets with all the creepy, weird encounters of pervert Uncle Joe Biden. It really is sickening when you see them one after the other. Twitchy has the story:

‘No woman is safe’: Why hasn’t THIS political perv been blacklisted? [pics, video]

Hamous
November 13, 2017 6:46 pm

Well, Darby was right. Stopped off at Karbach to have a beer with a buddy. Turned right off of Dacoma and there’s a new ramp onto 610 North that hasn’t been available for a couple years.

Maybe Judge Moore should’ve driven some of his accusers into a creek to see if they could swim.

Then he’d of been knighted the Lion of Alabama.

Hubs and I, me driving, ventured outbound 290 today, wrapping around from the North Loop. It was a mess. I was up the air on elevated ramps that I’ve never been on before. We were going to the Target shopping center on Hollister, and I saw a provisional exit sign for multiple exits including Hollister, and was going to take… Read more »

Well in reading several postings on national websites about the NFL and its problems with selfish players and ultra selfish Commissioner combined with timid owners, I noted that there were maybe 3 or 4 comments by people supporting these ingrates and everybody else ripping them up one side and down the other. Have yet to visit the Packers website to… Read more »

Do not toy with me! Once I bypass the Mangum/Dacoma exit the next exit drops me off into Helleria.

I heard Darby Douglas repeat it for an hour and a half this morning!

Sarge #53; I attended bars in my youth to watch certain bands play which had at least one member I personally knew. But it’s probably been almost 30 years since I’ve been in one to hang out except for restaurants which have bars. On a social level those who go to McIntyre’s seem to be just as cool as people… Read more »

Add on to #45 above. I now see that the NFL owners are threatening to gang up on Jerry Jones if he doesn’t fall in line with the rest of the gang. They may even sic the thought police on him or take his franchise away. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/11/12/owners-have-their-own-nuclear-option-for-dealing-with-jerry-jones/ I love it with the left eats their own.

Good afternoon Hamsters. Another 61 this morning and humidity is hanging on into the afternoon. Looking forward to drier air moving in. This morning’s main chore was ordering flowers for our winter garden beds around two big trees in the yards. Pansies as usual, for nothing brightens a gloomy winter’s day than hundreds of bright little faces smiling at you.… Read more »

#28 – I’m all for Goodall getting whatever he can get, just like the rest of the coaches and players in the NFL. Let’s face it, if they are determined to kill that golden goose, why not go ahead and gut it, cook it, and suck the marrow out of its bones while they are at it. I used to… Read more »

If one starts to add up all the deaths that happen during the Apocolypse, the total comes to half the population of the planet. It also states that the birds of the air (read raptors and other carrion eaters) will eat so many of the dead that they will be glutted. I am going to assume that glutted means to… Read more »
