Does everyone have their orders for tomorrow...?

...not, of course, that there's anything to have "orders" about...of course not. And by the way:

1. The tiger lilies are in bloom. Repeat: the tiger lilies are in bloom.

2. No wife, no horse, no moustache.

3. Maryland is a nice state. But Delaware has better beaches.

Everyone ignore this message. Just another crazy DUer rambling on about nothing at all. Have a Happy Fourth...

I'm in Sacramento, home of the 100 degree plus dry heat, although to me, it seems to be getting more humid here. being very pale though, i spend most of the summer inside with the AC blasting, and would do that if it was a dry or humid heat. A 100 degree humid heat sounds totally unbearable!

stay cool, wherever you are!

That's an abomination.

I suck at potato salad. I either boil the potatoes too much so you get mashed potato salad or not enough so the potatoes are almost as crunchy as the celery.

41. Leith, here's what you do
Tue Jul 3, 2018, 08:01 PM
Jul 2018

First, choose the right potatoes. Russets (ordinary utility-grade potatoes, the kind everyone has around the house) are mashing potatoes. Red potatoes are salad potatoes.

Set aside one more potato than you think you're going to need.

Use your scrub brush to clean the potatoes well. Red potatoes have thin, edible skins, so don't peel them. Cut them into cubes and put them in a big pot with enough water to cover them well. Bring to a boil and cook for 13 minutes.

While the potatoes are still boiling, use a kitchen spoon to bail one piece of potato out of the pot. Cool it under running water, then eat it. You've eaten potato salad before; if the potatoes aren't as tender as you remember, cook for another minute and try another piece. When they're right, take them off the stove and drain them.

I received the text from Commander George Soros. I can only assume my comrades have also received.

We go tomorrow. 6 AM. Or....whenever you wake up on a Holiday. For me, it will be more like 11 AM. So, we can go anytime between 6 AM and 11. Unless you need extra time to eat breakfast. So maybe...noon?

What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

Directly from the Barnegat Bay in NJ. They are alive, the are angry (I think they’re republicans. They’re ALWAYS angry.) They are ready to fight. A few have (I’m sorry to say) torn the famed blue claw from an adversary for no good reason that I can see (other than the fact that they’re republicans.) They don’t care whose side they are on. They just want “theirs.” (Repub...)
I’m telling you, with about 20 other people to dump the crabs on a hill toward our adversaries, this will be over in 15 minutes. I’ve never seems comical screaming and running quite like what happens when a manly man is attacked by blue claws! Shoot them? Hardly a solid plan. That claw is attached somewhere very near and dear to you and it’s not letting go. Count yourself lucky if it’s your nose or toes!
Afterward, I know they are expensive, but they live with us in relative harmony, so I’d like to release them back to the bay, rather the “include” them in our picnic.
