Many, many weddings.

For every four who get to the top, one dies. 87 have died and 377 have summitted.

People don’t like to be told what to do. I wonder what would have happened if Fauci got on TV and said, “There is a vaccine but we won’t approve it until we have tested it some more.”

Thousands of people climb it every year.

@jbnw knows mountains.

K2 is the second highest and the most difficult. It’s not quite as tall as Everest, but K2 has bad weather and is very steep in the upper sections. It kills one climber for every four who make it to the top. The name K2 is nothing more than a map maker’s note used to designate the mountain because nobody could determine the…[Read more]

But many people climb it.

But not hardest. Our mountain is not quite as tall, but nastier.

Or so I am told.

Although it is dangerous due to loose rock.

As long as it’s not the gummit? The websites that tell people they will be magnetized? Bill Gates microchips? Vaccines cause covid? Buy my magic colloidal silver elixer for $99.95? If they are to be believed, the rest of us have been brainwashed into happy contented sheeple who walk around as vaccinated zombies, hunting down and purging the unvaxed.

Railroads are old! So last Tuesday! We could do something like what the Chinese are doing. If I were in charge, I would choose Cuba, a nation that relies on railroads. I would modernize Cuba’s railroads by using existing technology. It would be fairly cheap and make an enormous difference for ordinary Cuban citizens. Why not here in my own…[Read more]

Many, many, many people believe they were taken aboard alien spacecraft and subjected to sexual probing. Pilots on long night flights used to see Foo Fighters. Maybe they still do. A few years ago, there was a study about planting false memeories where researchers had a suprisingly easy time convincing subjects they met Porky Pig at Disneyland. We…[Read more]

He is a bright, personable guy who is very middle of the road. He seems capable of adjusting his thinking to conform to whichever way the neoliberal winds are blowing. But there is a problem. He’s an openly gay man whose first name is “Peter” and his last name begins with “butt.”

And I worked for TSA. I was one of those people who made you take off your shoes or “be subject to additional screening.” The planes are crowded and the flight crews are stressed out. Assuming we allow adequate time, driving is relaxing and interesting.

of a woman who periodically came into our office looking for records of her property sale. Every six months or so, she came in and wanted to review the deed she granted to the people who bought her house. It was her belief she handed over the title but never got any money for the transaction. Of course, the deed specified the sale price and…[Read more]

but pretty standard stuff for a US president.

I’m not sure everyone who was not vaccinated was a rabid, foam-at-the-mouth, right winger. In fact, I know two people who will not get the vaccine because they are scared. They don’tknow what’s in it, and they don’tknow how vaccines work in the first place, so it’s no good trying to explain it to them. Another of my relatives will not get vaxxed…[Read more]
