Happens to the best of us. Ozzy was ready to go see him.

He wasn’t an original Sabbath member. Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward were the members. Rhoads was Ozzy’s guitarist when he went solo.

5g is fine (not great, but fine) on my phone until I get millimeter wave. The mw in the HEB parking lot down the street is amazing. If I get into the city proper it’s a crapshoot if I am able to get on the Internet.

I was planning on a good afternoon of crying anyway.

I didn’t know it started as a way to keep non whites out. That’s interesting.

I’ve lived in a town where people leave broken down cars under chest high grass. Where toilets with a handful of wildflowers planted in the middle counted as a lawn ornament. Ridiculous shit like that. I prefer that to an HOA.

In Trump’s letter to the Persians, chapter 14 verse 88.

I’m thinking that’s what he’s doing here. He’s threatening to fracture the furthest right to get what he wants and he’ll spend a pile to do it. I’m convinced this is his play to buy the Republican party.

Announce that they’re opening the investigation but need all their land back because the documentation is scattered due to the war. Oh, we just can’t investigate with all this bombing going on, but we really, really want to.

The thing I found out when I was a manager is you will get exactly what you measure. If you measure how long it takes to close tickets your customer service will suffer (that’s a stupid thing to measure anyway, but we had a stupid director). If you measure the number of tickets closed then you’ll get each step of a process as a ticket. If you measure billable hours you’ll get a bunch of time padding.

So since the religion is measuring the amount of sin and (in some denominations cases) good works performed, that’s what you’ll get. How many of the big 10 did you stay on the right side of? Did you put in 2 hours at the soup kitchen? Cool, here’s your ticket to heaven. It’s not measuring how good you are to your fellow humans. And they’re pissed if you don’t have to follow the same rules they do because you don’t believe in the same sins. So they try to force others to live by their dumb ass rules instead of trying to get others to be good people.

What kind of gardening? Violent gardening? Was she sowing the seeds of discontent?
