I wonder if white people are allowed?

white's white, unless you're one of those whites that isnt actually white but likes to pretend is white
but then we wind up getting into that whole species thing and you look at the FST separation values and compare to like blue jays or something and then you go oh, wait a minute![]()
Sofa King busy this week.![]()
but on the bright side, it gets dark early and we throw glowing discs once a week
got a new engine for the explorer, just whacked a new rear main seal in it, picking up a water pump, plugs & wires today, then gotta detach the ac/fuel....get some oil, coolant....tf else I gotta do before I swap this sumbich
took it to lake champlain this early fall, tried hitting up disc golf worlds at smugs, had some troubles and delays and got there too late, took beat up explorer through the fucking Notch, then GPS sent me through Swanton and I missed out on the lake approach views....she a tad too leaky after all that, so I'ma take er out and rip it down and hone the cylinders, new valve springs
still dont ever want a vehicle from this century![]()
oh man, its so much easier working on an engine when its on a stand vs in a car3 minutes to change a water pump? shit yeah
its even more interesting when you realize barret, roberts, and kavanaugh all were on bush's legal team in bush v gore 2000
a lot quieter here these days as compared to when I was here last![]()

tough away match yesterday, the other team put up their 3rd best player against me for a guaranteed pointI gave 'im a scare though, up 2 after 9, even going into 17....but the damned youngen got me last 2 holes, with my stomach rumbling like mad
usually once my stomach is going nuts my energy level is lower and timing off already. thought I ate enough.
then my doubles partner...le sigh, why party to 3am the night before a match???its one thing if you're 20 and doing that but bro you're 49 you arent going to have the energy for that shit any more.
Sup all! Back from two weeks in Miami/Florida Keys - 3 days for work and 10 for pleasure (wife flew down and joined after my conference since I got to fly on the company dime anyways).
I liked Miami a lot more than I thought I would. Miami beach is fun, the beaches are beautiful, great food and nice hotels. The Keys were a blast too, wife and I rented a really nice place that was a detached bungalow in Key Largo and just relaxed. We did get caught in a 1-day wild wild storm that nearly reached Cat-1 wind speeds last Thursday. I've never seen sustained rain like that for 24 hours, blew my mind even coming from Raincouver - I read on twitter it was 14" in 24 hours which is absurd. Around 2am the little bungalow we rented sounded like it would blow away and my wife was legitimately scared. We even had a 15 minute tornado warning but there really wasn't anywhere to hide
Other than that, super great trip. Back at it with a busy few weeks of work coming up. Hope everyone's doing well!

I was thinking last night, and I'd like my time here this time around to be more smooth, so I will skip "serious" subjects or outcomes & probabilities thereof. I like you guys and generally consider you my friends and getting along with you guys means a lot more to me than showing you all the ways I'm right about the shit I post aboutI mean, I pretty much dont talk to my two best friends about this shit either, cuz I know they really just dont give a fuck, although we all did have conversations about the ronas for sure (my other best friend is as deep or deeper, so we can go any depth of these topics
) So perhaps a truce, with those of you who enjoyed poking at my beliefs - dont poke at mine and I wont poke at yours
It was tough with stuff like ronas & the experimentation because man, I just dont want to see yas get hurt. Which was why I said to be careful cuz its coming again, my schizo leaves even said so
But I enjoy memes and laughing and hockey talk, so the world, fuckin whatever. It means something to me to be on good terms with you guys, I apologize for trying to helps yas out a little too hard.

Crazy moment at the grocery store tonight!
Was heading to my folks' place for dinner and there was an accident on the highway, so we stopped at a random grocery store we don't normally visit to grab a couple things and wait out traffic. My wife and I split up to grab our stuff. I turn the corner on the meat aisle and see a heavy set, older store employee collapse. I called my wife's phone not knowing where she was in the store and was like "I think maybe you should run down to the meat aisle"
She runs down and her and a nurse who also happened to be right there immediately see the guy has no pulse and start doing chest compressions. Someone ran and grabbed an AED machine while we called 911. My wife and the nurse traded off doing compressions and running the AED machine, cut the dude's shirt off. My wife was a yard sale, kicked her slip on shoes and jacket off and was going ham pumping on this dude and taking charge of the scene. I mean, I knew she was a doctor obviously, but I'd never seen her in action like that - in hindsight it's impressive but at the time it was just kinda horrifying. The poor guy's ribs were clearly jellified by the compressions (which I understand means you're doing it right), he'd pissed himself, and the store employees were all crying because it looked like their coworker was dead. The nurse wanted to stop compressions because the guy was making some horrific noises but my wife knew better, apparently that doesn't mean you should stop, and so they kept going as they still could find no pulse. Just some real hardcore shit to witness as I stood there literally holding her purse.
Finally after about 10 minutes the fire department and paramedics showed up. The Fire guys were kind of big dicking my wife and nurse and shooed them away at that point (which is fair I guess, they're the real front line experts with this stuff). So my wife was kinda like "hmm, I'm used to running codes but they don't need me anymore so I guess we' just pay for our milk and bread and leave? This feels weird."
There's no way to know the outcome but he had a weak pulse when Fire took over so hopefully the man is alright.
It's not about me obviously, but it sure got my adrenaline PUMPING even just being a bystander, never seen that in real life before and it's not a pretty sight. We both needed a beer once we got to my parent's place
I guess if there's any moral to this story, we should all take a CPR class once in a while.
