Sometimes, the b’ar eats you.

Went out to Blythes with Partner this morning and negotiated a decent deal on an absolutely beautiful Swedish Mauser for him; He takes me along to negotiate and I get to shoot the coolest rifles for free!! Then the shit hit the fan. See, I’ve been trying like hell to sealcoat the driveway for a month, and everything has prevented this.

So I went to Sears and bought the sealcoat I needed, got back home and parked the exploder on the side of the driveway so I wouldn ‘t have to carry the buckets too far.
And went back to weedwacking, and WEEDWACKED A STONE RIGHT INTO THE BACK WINDOW OF THE FUCKING EXPLODER.
So since I was already suited up I cleaned up the glass and went back to sealcoating. I had to INVENT new words to use to describe my feelings about the xploder window, the ones I knew were too worn out to use anymore.
Checked pick&Pull and discovered they were open till six.
So at ten to five I calculated that If I left the house in 11 seconds I could catch every red light between my house and hammond, and I succeeded.

To arrive at Pick& Pull at 5:28

And be told ‘it’s 5:30. “We doan le anywa in de yar ater 5:30.”
Then I went back home, figuring I’d at least be able to get some more weedwhacking done
to discover that I had not purchased the “fuel line that doesn’t self destruct on contact with gasoline” option for EITHER the weedwhacker or the leaf blower.

So i came indoors and had some of the Ogwife’s chili, and am trying to not pop like a balloon.

is not, as some might posit, a cancer, it’s not an infection, it’s not a chemical imbalance in the body politic.

It’s a parasite.

It will always be a parasite, and nothing will stop this. Ever. A parasite dies usually only when the host dies.

One of the ways to get rid of a parasite is to starve it. What if we all stopped our withholding? “We’ll pay you at the end of the year” and at the end of the year, nobody write the checks. Would it crash? would we all crash? Would the person die of starvation?

Americans are pretty fat. Myself included. If you wait until a person with a tapeworm is rail-thin, starving them to kill the tapeworm will kill them. If a fat person develops a tapeworm, starving them to kill the tapeworm is only a minor inconvenience. Nothing illegal is required, nothing violent. Paying taxes is voluntary, right?
