Ouch!

She caught her forehead and her nose.  She’s lucky she didn’t damage her eye.

She is definitely going to need stitches to fix that.

Social media was a mistake.

That is a damned good price!

I had some money left, spent it in needed items and was just waiting for them to arrive in case I had to get a refund.

All is good so…

It was probably the easiest transaction I have done with them.

And now the question is. Is there a decent substitute?

I keep saying that it is time to legalize the use of force to protect property.

These people do this knowing that if they do get caught, the political powers that be won’t punish them.

But fundamentally this is terrorism.  “Drive a car we don’t like and we’ll continue to attack it, costing you time and money, until you get a car we approve of.”

We should not negotiate with terrorists.

If someone is fuckinh with your car, either to steal your catalytic converter or because they don’t like your MPGs, you should have every right to stomp the shit out of them.

That’s your car, you work to earn the money to buy it, they don’t have the right to damage your property for any reason.

If law enforcement can’t stop this, you should have ever right to do so.

This is just a bunch of links that I collected and didn’t write about.

I. WANT. ONE.

Ok, without much ado, some of the new stuff we are watching.

Quantum Leap (2022): (Not so) Slowly descending into mediocracy.  The missus and I are still watching because we hope they come up with good writing and bringing back Dr Sam Becket. The last episode was a cheesy knockout of the A-Team because the hero did not want to get his hands dirty and shoot a bad guy. Lack of imagination and excessive fake morals are murder on shows.

Dog (Amazon): Good. A silly funny movie that slowly turns serious and with a message without being preachy.

The Lost City (Amazon): That was some silly fun stuff & popcorn gulfing relaxation.

The Rookie: Feds. Oh! sweet Jesus. BLM Light goes federal with a former teacher.

The Terminal List (Amazon): Go watch, don’t bother me till you are done. Seriously, you don’t know what you are missing. PS: I don’t care about the books, I haven’t read them.

We are starting to watch some other stuff, but it is still too early to decide yay or nay.

Confession: Our guilty pleasure is the “Reality TV” Below Deck shows. We have seen them all seasons and variations.
