Life in the temperate zone...

I would like to announce that I'll be resigning my post here on the Buzz to accept the Directorship at the Bureau of Taco Trucks and Personal Lubricants. This is a big step forward in my career and personal development, but, God willing, I'll help make America great again.

We had a good run didn't we folks?
 
:risas:

Wait... that lubricant doesn't have anything to do with how you make the taco shells, does it?
No no, we at the Bureau adhere to the seperation of church and state.

A chicken in every pot, bourbon in every lunch pail, and a well lube taco available on every street corner.
 
3 lane highway...

Who decided that the middle lane should be for slow special needs drivers?

Did I miss that meeting??? Was a memo sent out? Where the hell is my stapler and TPS report sheets. Someone will pay for this I hope.

I need photon torpedoes or a monster truck or something. Drive to Cleveland every week now and these morons on the roads are killing me.
 
You drive to Cleveland on purpose?

The city with the little signs downtown that say something about no law enforcement after 8 PM or some such shit? Where the bars close at 7 PM just so the owners can make a run for home without getting mugged or shot? That Cleveland?
 
For all of Cleveland's faults, and there are many, it's my old hometown and still love it to death. It has the age and cultural influences that Columbus really lacks in most regards.

Duty calls, gotta do what you have to do.
 
You jus' a gangsta' boy. Gotta git back to da' hood.

I'm not sure I could move back to the city. I hate just going there to see the kids/grandkids and crap. There are certainly things I sometimes miss about it, like the night life, but that would probably just kill me. So, I stay out here in the toolywads where the most excitement we've had in years was a nutty neighbor who burned his house up just because... well, because he's batshit crazy. A friend who lives across the street to the now vacant lot had a "Fire Sale" party during the whole overnight ordeal. Good times. I'm sure the four or five area fire departments trying to put it out enjoyed having 40 or so drunks across the street.

There was a guy who had some sheep in a small pasture on the edge of town, that escaped. They wandered into town. You could hardly get in or out of the bar without tripping over a fuggin' sheep. Somebody finally called him and told him they were running loose in town, around 10 PM, and he finally got them rounded up and back in the pasture around noon the next day. I don't recall ever seeing anything quite like that in the city. Sure, the occasional pervert driving around town in a convertible with a sheep in a prom dress riding shotgun, but not a whole flock of the things running loose.

They actually still drive around spraying toxic crap into the air for mosquito control. It's like living in the Dark Ages. They don't believe in climate change because Hillary's emails. Never mind that year's worth of rain in the middle of August... that's just TrumpaLumpaDumpa making farming great again. Maybe they won't actually siphon the Platte River down to nothing but sand, this year.

Clearly, I need sleep. I got to mow again, tomorrow. Bah.
 
I had a highly experienced climber visit me today. Awesome technique. No ropes, no PPE, no fear of heights.

Hard to tell from camera angle and praying mantis angle... but she was about 4" long. Climbed up a rabbit hutch and onto the fence, then onto the arbor over the back gate. Layed eggs and left.
 
Yeah but did you eat that baby girl to gain her powers? Mantid powers are the best. Next to sharks and meth heads that is.

I would have responded sooner but every time I pictured a bunch of drunken Cornhuskers chasing around a bunch of sheep in the dark I would laugh uncontrollable and pee a little. Took me a while to compose myself but now I'm thinking about Jethro and Susy May holding down poor old Dolly the Sheep while Billy Ray...
 
Just when I get done making fun of you Nebraski Cornpones, I walk into the Chardon (sorry Greg...) WalFart today....
Holy hell, sheep chasers were running amok. Not to mentioned morbidly obese, adult onset diabetes, neck tattoo having saints of the Midwest. I just wanted some PowerAde, beer, and apples and had to maneuver around if not beat them away with whatever grocery of household item was within hands reach.

Life in the Temperate Zone.
 
Chadron, Nebraska? Who did you piss off so bad that you'd get sent there? I used to hunt up there in the Pine Ridge area. Met this kid in the bar there, and he tells me he has an uncle that lives up in the Box Butte Canyon and has about 40,000 acres. So I go, and it's beautiful... lots of deer. Also, lots of cattle overgrazing the piss out of everything in site. Found his uncle's house so I could just let him know I was there, in case the kid forgot to call him and tell him. One look at the "house" and I changed my mind. All I could think was, I should have asked the kid if his uncle played the banjo. If I had heard so much as one banjo string pluck, I'd have hightailed it out of there, screaming like a little school girl with a bumblebee up her butt. I got a decent mule deer buck out of the canyon, and got to see a steer... maybe 900 to 1000 lbs. fall down the side of the canyon. Sides were damn near vertical. Bastard fell probably 70 feet or more, bouncing off whatever was sticking out a little from the sides. Hit the bottom, got up and ran to catch up with the rest of the herd. I stood there in total disbelief. I had no freakin' idea those things were that tough. If I'd fallen off that edge like that, I'd have broken every bone in my body and been dead long before I hit the bottom. And I was only about 20 at the time.

You were probably talking about some hick town in Ohio, but I wanted to relate that cow story cuz the name of the town reminded me of Chadron.

Don't worry about those goat-ropin' rednecks. If they get too close, just say, "WTF? Are you gay or something?" Even the ones who are gay are so homophobic they'll jet out the door. Might want to wear something other than your pink tracksuit in there, though.

Of course, then we uncovered this...

I can't take all the credit. The girls did most of the work on this mystery
