UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. “Oh, *that* kind of grave robbing? Lead on, Chuck!” 😈

  2. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    What? I say “What”?

  3. Heh, this is going to be fun. Tradition says you need to drink at least one bottle of MD 20/20 before going to the graveyard.

  4. At first I was thinking of something like a potato battery … nope!

  5. If you take a dead “D” cell battery, take out the carbon rod from the center, cut a strip of galvanized sheet metal about an inch (2.7 centimeters), take a small jar for canning, suspend the rod in the center and the strip on the side, pour in drain cleaner, you’ll get 1.2 to 1.4 volts DC. 10 of those connected to an inverter will give you 120 VAC at 0.5 amps. Do NOT keep them in the same area you live in however, the fumes will burn your lungs. Just something I learned in chem class in high school. You’d have to top-up the jars every few days, however. Any type of acid will work, even salt water. I think the teacher was a survivalist…

  6. Scheffler, Hovland and Conners Share the Lead at P.G.A. Championship
    Jordan Spieth, who needs a victory at Oak Hill to complete the career Grand Slam, and Justin Thomas, who won last year’s tournament, just made the cut at five over.

When satire just can’t compete…

So we just finished Memorial Day Weekend here in the States, which is ostensibly an observance day for the sacrifice of soldiers past, but mostly these days is an opportunity for people to get out and enjoy the park, or the beach, or any number of other public occasions as Spring kicks into high gear. Of course this year was different… Or not. Crowds from sea to shining sea, with facemask protocols and social distancing far from 100% observed. I look at some of the images and am reminded of that page where we were showing the extremes of the Repops with the teenagers dangling their buddy over hungry zombies. Except in reality, it’s not just teenagers. These are grown adults who are risking themselves and their families over a pool party. This is a nation who was up in arms not too long ago because kids were supposedly chowing down on detergent pods, now chugging fish tank cleaner because the President said maybe that might be cool. Joke? About as funny as a (literal) heart attack. I can’t keep up. I am not worthy. Reality has become more cartoonish than my wildest imaginings. At least no one dies from my writing and Dawn’s art. This? I can’t unfortunately say the same. I understand the want/need to reopen businesses and most everyone agrees it should be done “responsibly” but in practice, the responsibility angle keeps getting discarded. If this really were the zombie apocalypse, well, now I know I have continuing observation of how everything went south.
