Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

Today is the start of my 50th trip around the big burning fusion thingy in our sky that turns Hydrogen into Helium. So yay me. My work gives us our birthday off, so I also, humble brag, took yesterday off for a 4 day weekend and a short week. And it’s even shorter with Easter and Good Friday, so hurray for 2 day weeks. Today’s plan is to sleep in, colon and wonky body willing, and then to hang out with my lovely wife and then go out for a dinner somewhere.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been [in bed]’.
John Greenleaf Whittier

There’s a pill for that.

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

Hey, El Segundo is Brick-adjacent!

Look at the aerial photo of Top Golf. Go to the center-top, and then down a little. At the top of a flagpole you’ll see a black square with a white dot in the middle.

Is this the golfing flag? No, it’s a target! The property behind Top Golf is Raytheon Space Systems, and they make satellites and sensors. It used to be Hughes (as in Howard Hughes) so they do all sorts of crazy shit there. The target is a giant billboard and they focus on it from all sorts of different Raytheon facilities.

The other property there, that looks like a shopping center, is a plant that makes potable water from sewer water, and then sells it to the masses after adding brain-control chemicals developed by – you guessed it – Raytheon Technologies! The brain-control chemicals are manufactured across the street at – you guessed right again – the gigantic Chevron/Standard Oil refinery controlled by the Rockefellers! The sewer water comes from the Hyperion plant down the road, which was the filming location of – this is no surprise – Soylent Green!

Enjoy your “golfing” folks.
Brick Meathook

And Yeah Right is involved in ALL of that!

I’m not involved with Raytheon! Since the late 90’s! That’s all walking distance from my work though.

What Disney did is pretty underhanded, though.

Also, I like this part:

JARED: Hey, I guess when you tell the kids we’re going to spend Thanksgiving with “convict grandpa” you’re going to have to be more specific.

IVANKA: Ha ha ha, good one, Jared. Very droll.

JARED: Ha ha ha! [under his breath] You stupid fucking bitch.

IVANKA: Ha ha ha! [also under her breath] I hope the Saudis cut you into eighty pieces and throw you in a well.
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can never decide which of those two I hate the most.
King Hippo

I think Jared is more despicable, and Ivanka is the greater fool, because she thought she could be a supporter and aide of her father and get respect from anyone outside MAGAworld, whereas I don’t think Jared gives a fuck.
Dunstan

I’m on Team Ivanka. She didn’t choose to be married into this family, he did. Plus, of all the persons who can put Trump away the longest, she’s the one who can help out the most.

Ok – Today’s hate…

The fuckers that breed dogs for puppy mills.

I was taking my son to a swim lesson at the end of last week and the pool is next to a Target. I parked my car and in jumped an amazing female black lab who was extremely emaciated.

I got the dog in my car, gave it my dinner (we were eating tacos before his lesson) dropped my son at this lesson, then went to Target to buy it Kibble, a water bowl, collar and leash. I set up a crate for it that evening in our basement (until I could get it checked for diseases so it wouldn’t hurt our other dogs). I got up early the next morning, called my vet at 7:00 so that I could show up before the vet opened, and got the dog checked out. $300 later, she has a fully clean bill of health.

The humorous part was when I got to the vet, the vet tech said, “I’m going to check her for a microchip.” I responded, “Sure, I know that you need to for your job, but if you find the owner that would do this to her, just give me the address, and let me take care of it. Have you seen the John Wick movies?”

The vet estimated that she had had four litters of puppies, and was only 5 years old. She was 47 pounds, and should be 65.

I’ve been making her ground beef every day, and now she is up to 51 pounds in two weeks (I’m very careful to keep the weight gain at a healthy pace). But seriously, who the fuck can do this to a dog and live with themself?

So, now we have a third dog, and everyone is happy, but I’m very much hoping that some day I find the asshole that breeds dogs, doesn’t feed them, and discards them in Target parking lots. I have a decent nest egg from working, etc. so I’ll be happy to pay for the attorney I will need following the encounter.

Poppy (our new dog) is shown here.

Late for the Arsenal game, but in my defense I had a dream that I was snorkeling in something the resembled French Polynesia, woke up to a cold and rainy day in CT, so I went back to sleep for another hour to try to get back to the South Pacific.

Alas, I woke up in CT nonetheless.

Finishing a bachelor’s in history so I can teach locally. There’s still a hell of a teacher shortage here since COVID. I’m finishing a Capstone course which culminates in a 25 page historiographical/research paper, and I’ve never written one of those. I have my sources spread all over the house like I’m tracking Pepe Silva, and today I finally have to quit fucking around and start writing the bastard. It’s on the after effects of the publication of the Pentagon Papers. 25-30 pages. Just breathe, right? In the nose and out the ears. 🤓

Me: (put bread in toaster)

Me: “No, I’m having sandwiches.”

Me: “…protein.”
Family: “From where?”
