Alligator Alcatraz... First off, I just saw some liberal chick whining quite incorrectly that it was a wildlife sanctuary and how dare we all celebrate it because it's cruel. I also saw a cute cartoon of some alligators talking and one says 'did you hear we get to eat them if they escape?' Which reminded me of this prison just outside Marquette, Michigan. It's across the street from Lake Superior and it butts up to some of the nastiest, craggy woodlands you'd ever want to see. Back when I was in college, it had the highest walkaway rate of any prison in Michigan. But the escapees were rarely ever seen again. You see, it was filled with criminals from places like Detroit and Flint. City boys who probably had never taken a survival course in their lives. The way I figure it, the missing criminals either went into the water and drown, or they went into the woods and died. Win win, in my book.
Soon, I will be able to kick Brightspeed to the curb. The VoiP is in place and working smashingly. I called Mom on it yesterday. Unfortunately, the Starlink router only has 2 ports, and we have 2 computers to plug in, so I needed a splitter. It came and after some massaging, it's working, too. The true test will be calling Mom through the splitter this morning. Keep your fingers crossed. I have a temp phone # until my regular # transfers over to the new service, so don't try to call me at this time.
Better internet... check. Better phone... check. Next up, replacing the satellite TV with something like Roku. Woot.
Man, Wallyworld was a zoo yesterday. Totally spasticness.
What's with this new crap here on Blogger? This morning it has a notice at the top - some crap about upgrading something - and it just offered to insert links into my post for me. Why the hell would I want links inserted into my post? Wouldn't a link take people away from READING my post? Derp. Makes no sense.
My tomatoes might almost be trying to make flowers. Fingers crossed.
My black walnut tree got root rot and died. I guess they aren't meant for growing in a pot. Next time I have to transplant a volunteer walnut, I'll find a place in the woods for it. =o(
I almost put in -o(... That would be a cyclops, I guess. Rawr.
Okay, that's about all I've got today. Feel free to drop some this-n-that yourself before you wander off. Have a great day!
The Alligator Alcatraz memes and videos have been a hoot. The more wokies who melt down the merrier. Yay for tech upgrades and dependability! All the lake people are there for the holiday. My Wallyworld was mostly empty this morning. Of course, I hit the door at 8 a.m. so those who had to work were already at work. Those with vacay time had alreayd taken off for other parts. Yay for blackberries. Boo about the black walnut. Hopefully, another will spring up somewhere. 🤞🏼 crossed for your toms.
ReplyDeleteNot much new or interesting here. We've been cloudy but no rain. Temps have been in the 80s with humidity in the 90s but that's okay. It keeps the electric bill down.
Buckling up for fireworks. Surprisingly, there have only been a few rogues and short lived. Maybe they've figured out the cops mean business about $500 fines and possible jail time. It's illegal to to buy, possess, or set off in city limits.
Writing is being a witch.
I want a nap.
Time for more coffee. Have a great 4th! Later, gator! 😁
