The Distract me from 2020s P&CE Thread Part Trois

Looks like a great place for a swim and a quick ********!

 

Probably true, I can only speak to the hiking which was excellent. Not too many people, plenty of shade, cool temps and lots of natural beauty.

 

OKC can eat a bag of dirty dicks.

 

Yeah, so there was a little basketball game last night. I was distracted. Anyhow, I thought some context was needed.

 

You just posted the default position.

 

It's a Ringo Starr song!

 

I'm enjoying my stay in my old home town in the Berkshires. Lots of wild things...animals too!

 

Why are headlights brighter than they used to be?
If you feel like car headlights have gotten too bright, you’re not alone.

 

One of the lamps went out on my 2011 Leaf. Apparently, I can't just replace a bulb and the fix costs $800. Now we just use the high beams which are dimmer than most modern cars low beams.

 

On this day in 1975, Roby's MIL goes on the warpath when he forgets to bring home the ricotta for the Sunday lasagna.

 

Nuh uh....my MIL began the hostilities on 25 July 1964. It continued til she went belly up about 14 yrs ago. Her ashes are in a sealed reinforced strongbox encased in 6' of cement to be safe. Gee, I miss our fun times!

Dayum. Who did this? Cold

 

Take a guess where this was painted?



































A 1798 watercolor of Collect Pond. Bayard's Mount, a 110-foot (34 m) hillock, is in the left foreground. Prior to being levelled around 1811 it was located near the current intersection of Mott and Grand Streets.

L'Enfant wanted to make the area into a park but was shot down for housing which eventually turned into the Five Points slum.

Maybe if you like an audience.

 

Medieval sword found well-preserved in a Dutch river. Has some symbols on it & when translated they mean "wooden shoes are stupid AF. Is this really the best we can do, people?"

Okay, much better, back on the trail they call Communication Breakdown, and, after a little rain lately, couldn’t be much nicer here, maybe I just need stay out of the damn war with Iran thread all together.

 

They can take it up with the raccoons!
