The area of Wisconsin where Baraboo is is sooooo pretty, one of my favorite places. It’s too bad there are shit birds like this fuckhead to gum up the works and bring out the ugly. Of course, the part of Wisconsin I live in, a few hours to the northeast, is pretty af; there are times I can’t believe I live in the midst of where so many people can only dream of even spending a day or weekend. However, some of the tRumpanzees and MAGAts tend to find ways to uglify it. https://wiscnews.com/news/local/education/baraboo-wi-graduation-father-pushes-superintendent-rainey-briggs/article_b33200cc-21bd-11ef-be03-0fe0b2b7a52c.html

These need to be in place all over the country.

Boo hoo, tRumpanzee-type. Call 1-800-WAH-WAHH

Each Memorial Day (and other days), at some point out here on deck, I’ll play this one for my son, Ryan. Five Finger Death Punch recorded a version of their own a few years later but this is the one that really hits home with me.

Leavin' flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
Black roses and "Hail Marys”
Can't bring back what's taken from me
Ireach to the sky and call out your name
And if I could trade, I would

“I’m still here and I’ll tell you what, there’s no fucking chance in a million trillion years that I made it through all of that just so that at the age of 49, I’d let some fucking loser with 22 numbers, a cross and an American flag in his handle hurt me with some stupid fucking words he all-caps slammed into a keyboard in his mommy’s basement.“ - Jo Jo From Jerz

Nail that orange shit bird already.

Stormy Daniels is on the stand next.” - The Mueller Report

Well, one of the challenges, anyway.

My oldest boy Ryan wasn’t a hockey player - high school basketball was his thing. One thing about it, though - he was in the Big League in so many other ways in the 20 years he was alive.

Never can tell what might come down
Never can tell when you might check out
Just don't know, no you never can tell

“Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin’.
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming.
Four dead in Ohio.”
