BEAR.

I don't know why but bear is everywhere this morning. Why? I'm in my fucking 50s, I have no idea. But it's the hip shit now.

edit: They asked women if they would rather meet a bear or a man in the woods. They were like "Well a bear won't rape me." Ok fair enough.

Quitting job save money, quitting job save money, quitting job save money!
Today, lost my 1/4" socket set, dropped my soldering iron 4ft and it bent the heating element, then I spent $600 on a used secateur for my brother, fuuuuck!
Last job of the day I was stuck talking to a guy that hated bike riders and loved Land Rovers, fuck you Thursday!

So upon genetic testing, I am 70% Scottish. No one in my family every said shit about being Scottish. Now I am gripped with the obsession to travel to Scotland and dress up in a ridiculous Scottish outfit and walk around going "Top O The Morning To Ya!" and tip my stupid little Scottish hat at them. Get my ass beat for sure.

I have heard various stories of from which horde of invaders I emerged, but have never had the inclination to sort it out.

Edit: Mother's family was lace curtain Irish.

Can't argue really.

At this point, if I was alone in the woods and I saw a lone woman, I would yell bear and run in the other direction.

Good morning, lovelies. I am two weeks overdue for a haircut and am happy to be addressing that today.

Re: hotels, Wife has a friend in Hilton management who set her up as an employee family member, so we pay $40 for most Hilton hotel rooms. That is nice to have.

That sounds very Irish for being Scottish.

Um, is the word secateur used differently down under, or did you somehow source a set of $600 hand pruners?

dogs fed, sipping some really smooth espresso. Riding on the Ambulance, only 5 transports scheduled.

Supposed too be Pro Palestine protests in downtown Oakland and they plan on shutting down the Port as part of their May Day protest idling 1000's of hourly workers and truckers. That will win them lots of worker support for their cause NOT.

I’m like 1/32nd Scottish. Used to go to the Highland Games with family including red haired uncle. Caber toss, tasty scones (“scahns”) etc.


after bowel prep and all that I’m now about 9 lb lighter than I was at this point yesterday morning. How does this compare to your experience, @Full Trucker? Was I exceptionally full of shit or what

I've seen a few ridiculous attempts to mansplain why the bear isn’t the right choice. I can't tell if it is misogyny or autism at work. Possibly misaugyny.

Im at a new orthopedic doctor to talk about ongoing issues with all the broken bits. It's always somewhat amusing, and simultaneously depressing, to get looks of surprise and exclamations of wonder at the state of my physical being.
