Your love is like bad brown acid, circulating around the front
I'm not psychic, but I know I'm going to have some important phone conferences today. I know this because there's some sort of machinery on the street, ripping it up and doing repairs. I can't hear myself think. It's a great day, though... I'm trying to work, dog is barking at the machinery, and Wife is sitting on the step, waiting to tell the construction guys they're not doing it right.
The crew is doing a quarter of a block at one time, to keep the noise and aggravation up, as well as the salaries. I did not know there was equipment that could BANG on the ground and literally shake several houses on either side. It's like jumping up and down on a floor and everyone near you can feel it. Then there's the Slightly Limited Banger Machine, which makes more noise but doesn't shake houses. The men make between $35 and $75 an hour, with the upper numbers determined by skill. The $55 per hour guy (only one per job) is the guy who gives hand signals all day. No one knows why. The $65 per hour guy follows along with a clipboard. The $75 per hour guy is home in bed. Construction is fascinating.
They're putting in what looks like huge water pipes, but we know they're Shaker Pipes, so after they close everything up, the pipes will randomly shake and make noise, to bother the hell out of anyone working from home. The noise was so loud, the neighbors stopped mowing their lawns, because nobody could hear them. The suburbs get this automatic metal scraper, which scrapes across the street at random hours. I thought for sure we'd get one. Not to worry, the neighbors will find a way to compensate. Just when my house stopped shaking, rattling, and rolling, I got down on my knees and got thankful. Mrs. lefty said not to worry, this was their lunch break. When the noise stopped right out front, I was doubly thankful. Mrs. lefty, always a shining light of positivity, suggested I not be all that thankful - all they were doing is moving 25' down and starting again.
A brief chat with the gents said they'd be cleared in a little while. They have to block everything off so no one will jump out in front of any construction trucks. After a recent spate of people getting creamed by trains because they were, for some reason, on the tracks, this lit me up like a Christmas tree. I would love to see people driving out in front of these trucks - especially the one with the 20' mangling blade. It would make "Saw" look like a limp penis. It would slice the car like bologna. Now that's entertainment.
The guys don't care, but Mrs. lefty and UPS/Fedex have worked out a deal, where her packages will be delivered to a house down the street, so she can get them later. There are at least 4 pairs of shoes and several squeezy tubes of Miracle Medicine from the BIN (Buy It Now) Network. One does not come between a woman and her deliveries.

- the UK, famous for weird city names, has another: Stow-on-the-Wold, where a street's power had to be shut down to rescue a cat. It's in Gloucestershire, you know.
- Keen-eyed readers know that this isn't a rescue - it's the cat, testing how fast the rescue trucks respond
"Holy crap. Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea,” Cruz writes in a tweet comparing a Russian military ad to a U.S. Army recruiting ad. The Russian ad features recruits shaving their heads and suiting up for a parachute mission, interspersed with shots of a bullet being loaded into a weapon. The American ad, posted earlier this month, is a sunny animated clip featuring a narrative voice over from a female soldier raised by two women explaining why she decided to join the US Army.
Today I identify as a 5 year old boy transitioning to a 6 year old girl because my insane parents said to. All I said was, "Girls have it better in school" and WHAM, I'm on hormones.

The IMF says $50 billion is needed to end the Flying AIDS pandemic in 2022.
Uhhh... yeah... right. If there is 'international' in the title, you should scrutinize anything they say.
2022? Place an EMERGENCY call to Fauci!
One of the amplifiers I'm looking for just came up for sale. At $5700, we've made a joint decision to let someone else buy it. The problem here, as I see it, is that I'm not rich.
Odd Plea from the guy who types this shit: if, heaven forbid, you or someone close loses a husband, please do not say "You're the man now," to his eldest male child.
