TSCLT 7.0: Hemis, Harleys, Hooters-n-Harridans

[bellisarius]

Mornin', mornin'.

Except for the smoke from a distant fire it'll be a nice day today. Got some shopping to do early and then I'll mow half the yard. Use the new end mill to make some chips. Then make a nice breakfast.

Later on I'll move the lawn furniture and mow the other half.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah, there will be some mowing to do here, too.


And the tree branch. City says they'll be "street cleaning" next week. If I leave the branch, so will they. If I cut it down, likely they'll leave it again. I don't want to cut it, but like as not, I'm the only one who gives a shit if it gets removed.


I don't get "services" here - I just get to pay for them.


And we have county cops in our 'hood . . . .

 

[bellisarius]

That seems to be the way when it comes to government these days. More money for less services.

A few days next week...


lmao, are we ever the eternal optimist!


Thunderstorms yesterday; real tree toppers.
Thunderstorms today, 91º, at least, and the trunks should be uprooted.

This one looks like it could turn off the power for a while.

I need to dig out the generator and fire it up no matter the outcome.

 

[bellisarius]

That little ditty sums it up well.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I have to agree...

However, some Libertarian thinker probably got burned at the stake for that one.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

If I don't have a good approach to stuff, many Unfortunate People will be terminated brutally.


I have a reputation to uphold, you see.


AHnold had a lever action shottie in Term2, to use whilst riding that Fatboy. It's a cool thought, if impractical unless you happen to be a machine.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Lever action, so that you, too, can be all John Wayne an' shit . . . .

Kershner’s First Law: "When a self-governing people confer upon their government the power to take from some and give to others, the process will not stop until the last bone of the last taxpayer is picked bare."

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And we all know who to vote for then.


AOC, the person to be!!!


Oh wait, does voting really do any good?


Because if it did, it wouldn't be legal . . . .

 

[SpeareChucker]

Given their freedom, the majority of people will quickly
vote themselves into tyranny in order to retard the
pursuit of happiness for all the people.

 

[bellisarius]

Given their freedom, the majority of people will quickly
vote themselves into tyranny in order to retard the
pursuit of happiness for all the people.

I don't think that's the goal, merely a consequence of the fact that people will gravitate to lazy and are perfectly happy to have others do for them the things they should be doing for themselves. And that's where the politician comes in.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I was playing off a theme from some Heinlein I've been rereading...

Given a chance for a brand-new government there are (theoretically)
always those who feel that laws must be made to prohibit
the activities that they themselves are proscribed by
religion or inclination even when those activities
impinge not upon their lives in any way.

Similarly we have that eternal subset of the population
who wants the law to act to the benefit of others
(at "little" cost to third-party others).

 

[bellisarius]

Laws of proscription and laws of prescription. Of the two the laws of prescription are the most onerous.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Until you get to the endgame...




The Rule of Laws
One Law to rule them all, One Law to find them,
One Law to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

 

[SpeareChucker]

Great news on the home front!


The blueberries are ripening and in and in volume.
I see dessert in the near future...

[SpeareChucker]

I'm finishing up cup #2 and the rains have finally passed through.

Now I have some extensive pool cleaning to get to.

Uncharacteristically attractive, for a Wat thread. She's not a bimbo.

You're a dude, man.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Home. Got the morning thing done and then helped the mentee pick up a piece of furniture on the other side of town. It gave us a chance to visit, which was nice.


Made something lunch-like. Laundry is almost done. The day is lovely and cooler and not very humid, so the windows are still open and the air is pleasant.


We'll deal with the branch in street here in a bit. I may leave it at the curb and see what happens. Wager: not a fucking thing. A few minutes of reading first . . . .


Maybe explains some folks' seeming fascination with meth use/abuse/addiction . . . .
