A left-handed compliment
We’ve been trying to walk every day since the weather broke.
We’ve walked every day this month, and today we walked a total of 4.5 miles.
I had to do something, my fat ass creeped up to 260 again
Fortunately we found a dog park, off an improved walking path, in which to park
The first time we walked this path we parked in a shopping center at one end. Evidently the shopping Centre doesn’t appreciate that and issued me a $55.00 ticket.
Not a real citation, one from the company that manages the parking. I could get towed or booted if I park on one of their properties again, if I don’t pay.
Yeah…
Right…
They don’t make a ‘Denver Boot’ that big, and you’d need a tractor trailer to tow the Dude. Not that I’ll use any of your lots again purposely.
Yesterday, as we returned to dog park from our walk, I hit the men’s room.
On my way back to the where the truck was parked, I walked by a group of 7-8 city or county maintenance men. Thier white work trucks with the seal, backed in, parked in a row. They appeared to be just finishing the loading up of tools and were bullshiting, when one noticed me.
He turned to the other gentleman and said
“That’s what I’m going to look like when I get ‘old’!”
I must be getting soft.
There was a time when I would have quipped
“Who you calling old motherfucker?!?”
@tomshillue Jamie Lissow is coming to Virginia Beach July 17-18. Wish you'd make a trip in July. Bring the gang.
“Countdown”
To ‘Kharg Island’
How long until Delta Force or Marine Raiders take this island?
I believe they will grab it within 72 hours.
Why Kharg Island;
Kharg Island serves as the central hub for Iran’s crude oil exports, handling approximately 90% (and in some estimates up to 95%) of the country’s oil shipments. Oil from Iran’s onshore and offshore fields is piped to the island, stored in massive tanks, and loaded onto supertankers for export, mainly to markets in Asia (especially China). The island’s facilities have a loading capacity of around 7 million barrels per day.
This makes Kharg Iran’s economic lifeline:
• It generates tens of billions in annual revenue, funding much of the government’s budget and military (including the Revolutionary Guard).
• Iran’s shallow coastal waters prevent large tankers from loading directly onshore, so Kharg’s deep-water berths are essential.
• Disruption here could severely cripple Iran’s economy, halt most oil exports,...
