Something I realized day before yesterday: I have two major bleed kits in the truck, but I don’t even carry a band-aid. Kinda dumb, Ain’t?
I have a decent enough (big) First Aid kit at home, but I don’t want to duplicate it for every day driving. I looked around for containers and ordered n MTM 30 Caliber Ammo Can which I believe will be enough for the occasional booboo in the urban environment and then I’ll figure out what to put in.
Ideas? Share your vehicular first aid kit’s components and a brief explanation why if you don’t mind.
I did some serious pruning and I took the “plant matter” to a nearby waste disposal location. I had to stop because they were loading the disposed washers/driers/water heaters with one of them mechanical claws/grips and dumping them in another truck effectively blocking the road. I found it funny as in a real life version of the arcade machine, so I whipped out my phone and took several quick pics that did not come out right: my lens was smeared or something, but I did not notice then. Only one pic came out half ass decently.
I was told to move and drive thorough the lawn close to the truck as to get the customers moving, so I did and got located in the appropriated slot in the ramp. Once I dumped the refuse, I pulled the phone again to take other pics and maybe share it in the blog when I was shouted to stop by some sort of supervising person who very self-righteously informed me it was prohibited.
I looked at him initially as if he was joking, but I asked why and he just repeated it was prohibited. I made several comments about the county going to hell if and what the hell was so secret about a tax-payer funded facility open to the public. Then I just got in my vehicle and left.
The Top Secret Dumping Facility as seen in Google Street View. Wait, did they break the “law”?
As I was departing Loud Supervising Authority inside a county pick up truck, I looked at him doing a shaking of the head and left the facility. About 3 blocks later, I notice the same pick up behind me and initially chalked it to coincidence, but then the guy started to match my driving which raised my alert level to “What the fuck is this asshole doing? Following me? Level. I have serious issues with people following me from previous bad experiences
At a stop light, he got right behind me, pulled what appeared to be legal pad folder and seemed to be writing down my license plate. I had to chuckle a bit at the County Waste Disposal Detective and figured that now that he acquired such precious information, he’d leave me alone. No such luck, the asshole continued behind me.
Obviously allowing him to follow me home was out of the question, so I decided to use a true and tried strategy from my old times in Venezuela: Have him follow me to the nearest police precinct. But alas! the dumb fuck lost me in traffic when he caught a light and I could not slow down and wait for him because of traffic. I still took roundabout ways to make it home while checking I had nobody behind me.
I am trying to figure out what I did or said to make County Waste Disposal Detective engage in stupid behavior. I doubt anything will come out of it.
And the answer to your question is: Yes, I was. I don’t leave home without it.
I got sent the Powells Book official press release on the Andy Ngo book. Here is an interesting extract:
Since the first published texts there have been calls to disown different printed work, and at Powell’s we have a long history of experiencing these calls, and the threats they bring with them, firsthand. Until recently the threats were from those who objected that we carried books written by authors we respected or subjects we supported. The threats were real but we could feel virtuous — we were bringing the written word to the light of day. We could feel proud of our choices, even when the choices created conflict.
Our current fight does not feel virtuous. It feels ugly and sickening to give any air to writing that could cause such deep pain to members of our community. But we have always sold books that many of us would reject. We have fought for decades, at Powell’s, for the right of a book to stand on its own. Doing so is one of our core values as booksellers.
So the biographies of the three men that created and defined Fascism for the world are “subjects respected” by Powells, but Andy Ngo’s book makes them “feels ugly and sickening.”
It is just BS to appease the little local fascist, specially after the boatload of money that they know it comes with the amount of free advertisement provided, so they are still selling the book online. That is so Gracious and Brave!
If I buy the book, it won’t be via Powells, that is for sure.
Florida is leading the way in vaccinating seniors, becoming the first state in the nation to vaccinate more than 500,000 individuals age 65+. We will continue to build on this progress and put Florida’s #SeniorsFirst. Watch my update from this week below ⬇ pic.twitter.com/LoFjMmcu84
Having Publix locations be vaccination points is very smart, you cannot call yourself a Floridian if you do not know by heart how to get to your nearest sammich goodness supplier and assorted groceries. Hell, I have 6 Publix location within a 3 mile radius of my house.
An the church thing is gonna be a hit, specially if they make it a full day event with munchies, drinks and entertainment. I can imagine a Black church or two dishing out some honest-to-God BBQ to attract people.
I know “DeathSantis” (as the Left calls him) is hated by Democrats because of his support for Trump, but same as with Cuba, nobody is flocking northbound I-95 to NY or NJ to escape the virus and the government, but just the opposite.
remember when @barackobama passed 12 million Twitter followers on to Trump team for the @potus account he had started and Twitter embraced it? I do… https://t.co/JNlKATdkTF
Does the numbers of Twitter followers a President has change his Constitutional authority?
Are there milestones like at 10 Million followers he can pass a law without congress, at 50 Million he gets to be President for life?
I’m looking at Wikipedia and can’t see how Twitter followers affects the Executive’s powers or responsibilities.
I didn’t think this is something that the President should worry about, expect it seems that Biden is also a petty mean girl who really cares how many people on Twitter like him.
