Yep. There's an apple picking thing going on tomorrow that I'm less interested in on account of the weather.

I live among the apple orchards. Traffic the past few weekends has been horrid. Everyone comes out to the 'country" and picks apples. Everyone.

$50 to apple pick, when you can buy a bag at the store for $2.99.

Apple picking is over rated.
 
fifty bucks? are they magic apples? seriously, what the fuck, dude.

They charge an admission per person/kid. Then you have to pay for the bag. Then pay for over priced apples. So yeah, $50.

But it is about the family experience. :D

You know, when people say 'thoughts and prayers' maybe they should specify what kind of thoughts and prayers. 'I'm gonna fuck your shit up' and 'I'm praying you go to Hell' are, categorically, 'thoughts and prayers', right? That's a rhetorical question, btw. :)

I was tempted to jump off the bicycle and challenge the maintenance-of-way crew operating the spiking machine to a contest. Back when I spent a summer working as a gandy dancer I got to be pretty handy with a track hammer.


We were steel-drivin' men and I could drive a spike with the best of 'em.

In my misspent youth, I was on the ironworker crew that reinforced a few miles of the canal that provides flood protection and drainage for the I-10 on the way to California.

The journeyman were tying off and those of us punking rebar were mostly laying the sheets into position, and in my case mostly putting 'dobies under the mesh. I had at the time the most stamina and agility on the crew because I was fast and light as a former distance runner. Every once in a while, after I had gotten ahead of the crew pre-poisitioning 18" lengths of rebar along the top bent portions, someone would hand me a mere 5 lb beater to drive some stakes. It did not take all that many stakes before my skinny firearms were cramping and swole to the point that while flexed you could not lift skin off them. I was a phlebotomist's dream in those days.

I was by far the least physically strong of anyone on that crew.bunch of fairly wiry guys but they could lift an amazing amount of iron. They were pretty good natured about my being unable to literally carry my weight because they admired my tenacity. The consensus was that I was just too light to have the base to build on. Their recommendation for weight gain was that I eat lots of pussy and drink lots of beer. I hadn't had occasion to consume either at that point in my life.

There's a major rail line by me and I've never seen a Gandy Dancer. (I've always liked that term, it's like that term was made just daring you to say something about a guy who makes his living swinging a hammer.) I see the engines all the time and it's going to be embarrassing if I'm wrong but I think this is a Burlington Northern Southern Pacific Rail Line. When they're replacing track which they seem to do often it appears to be a fully automated system. I don't know what you call it but there's a little device that goes up and down the rails and it ejects the old rail to the side and inserts the new one, without having to lift the track at all.
 
Al Fresco was invited for supper but it ended up just me and the Missus on the porch.

Coulter was getting “destroyed all night” by the professional comedians on stage, Ross says, including British stand-up Jimmy Carr, who said, “Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face bitches alive,” adding, “It’s not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself!” Nikki Glaser told Coulter, “The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave” and Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson straight-up called her a “racist cunt.”

watching the comedy central roast.

to be fair, most the people on there are absolutely crap with their 'jokes' and watching the roastees faces was almost painful. most kept their grins stuck in place but you could feel the enmity.

jimmy carr, though, wasn't messing about. straight for the jugular and no apologising for it.
