@davidtoddmccarty WTF did they do now?

@cetan @paulinaashland Just started here. And away we go.

@flargh You're too kind.

Crazy shifting Fall weather today. From rain and clouds to sun to clouds to…what’s next? #Photography #Chicago #Fall

@SharonCrockett Sure is turning out that way.

@SharonCrockett He needs to reside in hell.

@SharonCrockett I don't disagree. I'll say this though, the old rules of politics never worked in our favor. Why should we let them work against us. Leak the damn report and run this two-bit, impotent hustler out of town on a rail.

@SharonCrockett Yes. But does it really? Everyone on the planet knows scum is scum

I don’t need a House Ethics Committee vote to know that Matt Gaetz is a sexual predator who was incapable of having sex unless he paid underage girls to do so and stupid enough to leave a trail.

I also don’t need a report to tell me the former GOP is a party that loves its rapists and predators more than their own children. #politics

Fall morning skies starting to feel more and more like winter. #Photography

@cgrymala It's wish for it as well. But as long as the telcos can make money selling banks of phone #'s to these spam outfits we'll never see it.

I find it funny, though still annoying as hell, to watch the waves of it come and go. There will be a burst. I block and report. Regardless of those efforts on my part the wave will dissapate once they've exhausted what they've purchased. Then 10 days or so later it will start up again.

The stuff about business and tech companies (the clacks) in Going Postal novel is more relevant now than it was in 2003 when it was published. As is the stuff about inclusion amongst different types of beings.

It’s a remarkably prescient book, given it's 20 years old.

It’s always been my favourite Discworld book. More so after the current reread.

Highly recommended. You don’t need to have read any other Discworld books to read it. It’s a good entry point.

@davidtoddmccarty The she swore like a sailor for the rest of her life. I presume to make up for lost time.

@davidtoddmccarty "Shut up" was considered a swear in our household as well.

I was in my 30's when I first heard my mother utter a swear word and it knocked me off my rocker.

@davidtoddmccarty The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was when I came home from school and dad allowed pets in the house.

@davidtoddmccarty When the second phone was added of course it was added in my parent's bedroom.

After I left for school my sisters each got phone lines on their 16th birthdays. Times were a changin'.

@davidtoddmccarty Given that our phone was in the kitchen, there was always an audience for each phone call. Rare that it wasn't.

Church league softball was our "hang out" zone during the season. School sports during the rest of the year. Best part about the softball games they were outdoors, large crowds and parking lots, adjacent to other areas to escape to.

@davidtoddmccarty Much the same with me geographically. My first girlfriend lived just outside of our "local" calling range. Having to ask permission to make a call sure put a damper on things.
