Smokey: It's a Bad Day at Koan Rock. 

I think Spenser Tracy was in that

Or his brother Spencer Tracy. 

Dealing with the fronthoe

b1-66er: side note--

I actually received a TXT from Gumby today. First I've heard from him since the death of his mom...after repeated efforts on my part.)

b1-67er: What did he say? 

66: 

I'll call you back. I've never been busier these days. No one has gotten any calls back from me

My Xmas Eve Xlation:

Rejoice in being ignored like everyone else.

There's a part of me that feels deep/strong empathy for Gumby...

... And another piece that wants to see him crushed by a fertilizer truck.

67: He is in the position of having to deal with his mom's death and (I imagine) the disposition of his mom's house. And the prospect of a new baby. There's, legitimately, a lot going on. 

66: Okay. 

A Tonka fertilizer truck.

67: That's fair.

<November 9, 2025>: [....]Speaking of noxious chemicals, we were notified recently that a home on our street tested positive for PFAS in their water. We had a test last week, waiting for results. 

<& now today>

Just got results from a well water test, which we ordered when we got a letter from the town that one of our neighbors had elevated PFAS in their water. Not only did we learn that we do too, we also learned that we have 4 times the safe level of...

...Wait for it...

....Uranium. Doesn't seem like a good thing. 

I've been drinking at least two large mugs of coffee made with that water, every day, for over 20 years

The Accomplice: Yikes!

b1-66er: No wonder your coffee's so hot!

Where's the uranium coming from? 

(I don't think it's naturally occurring there... Seriously - is there weapon manufacturing nearby?)

Kπ: No idea. I've never heard of it being a problem. All I know is that 0.03 mg/L is the highest "safe" level (though preferable to be under 0.015), and we tested 0.124

Is murder good?

Special K: Murder is bad. 

Yes no

b1-66er: <pic>

Special K: I'm getting mixed messages there. 

Rosie the Robot Riveter

Smokey: Thought of you today... Got a text message from my dentist with a link to fill out medical forms with my history. Started filling them out when I realized, I just did this for this dentist recently.  I wanted to reply ala, b1-66er, "Dear faceless robot..."

b1-66er: I feel... so proud•

S: It's a good line that faceless robot thing. I didn't understand it when you first sent it back in the year two thousand, but once you explained it to me, made perfect sense. Unfortunately, I think the founders thought you were calling them faceless robots, which they were, but didn't need the weekly reminder. (I jest, they actually had faces.)

b1-66er: Kash Patel Is Under Investigation for Using FBI Jet as Private Uber

This just seems SO WRONG. 

I mean, come on, look at his baller OG name...

What do you expect?

b1-67er: He should have the Kash to pay for his own jet. 

D4rw1n: He is a bit Patel-thetic
