10 Baloney Sandwiches.
by SunnyvaleMade this morning.
All gone.
There is only 1 person in this house.
Me and this guy we call Dave order Malone’s Rag Bologna once a year and smoke it then slice and grill and eat a couple loaves of white bread, yellow mustard, rag bologna sandwiches until the whole chub is gone.
Normally this is a week or so before our semi annual chili dog party which we have semi annually or sometime about every few weeks or so with Cajun Power Chili made as the hot dog sauce instead of the chili. You can use their Cajun Power Sloppy Joe container but the Chili is better for hot dogs. Sloppy Joe is better for like Sloppy Joe’s and such.
Everybody brings a Tide pen. Good times.

I need something to listen to
Posted by Martini on 11/12/25 at 10:15 am
Audiobooks are what I’m doing mostly these days because I’m in my vehicle or various places where I can get quality time to listen and I can also get through more titles. I still read a lot at night but during the day I would rather an audiobook.
Not a big fiction guy anymore but occasionally I will indulge. And I always have two or three listening or reading at the same time so it can fit my mood.
So a few I’ve listened to recently are:
Sword and Scimitar
Defenders of the West
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
Bonhoeffer
Go Flight
The Millionaire Nextdoor
Supergut
Factory Man
Dopesick
The Least of Us
My Fathers Brain
Dreamland
Danger Zone
A Force So Swift
Where the Bodies are Buried
Bloodlands
Love Thy Neighbor
All Rick Bragg books
So that’s a few I’ve gone through recently.
I need a dozen more non fiction books. I use Libby and I also buy audio books.
Thanks

Well you’re pretty much renting for 50 years.

It’s not soulless — it’s human.
You can love someone deeply and still accept that the shape of that love has changed. Care, commitment, and compassion don’t all have to look like marriage. She didn’t abandon him; she rebuilt around grief.

If I bought a new house with one now, I would pay it off when I’m 110. Ha! Joke’s on the bank. No way I live that long. Suckers!
The bank will make their money whether you live to be 110 or drop dead the day after you sign the mortgage.
A fifty year mortgage is a banks dream.

I’ve left it on the counter overnight and had it for breakfast.
I’ve probably left it in the truck overnight before and ate it. I’ve done that with pizza a few times.

Sounds like quite the struggle, but thankfully for us northerners you knuckle dragging, mouth-breathing, sister fricking,neanderthals all keep your asses down there. As a native born and raised southerner I was certainly one of the lucky ones to finally escape that cult of worshiped mediocrity. Hmmm...mediocrity is probably a bit too generous, but I'll stick with it to end on a little flattery so not to come across as overly contemptuous.
That’s a lot of big words for someone who probably still says “y’all “ when they’re drunk. Leaving the South didn’t make you enlightened just more insufferable in a different area code.

Seems to me they need better intelligence before kicking in some innocent people’s door.
not exactly how it happened.
from the link, if you read it:
quote:The footage goes on to show officers walking to the back of the property and shining lights in windows before entering through an unlocked back door.
Ah yes. They politely entered through an unlocked door before realizing the wrong house. Who needs a warrant when they have an unlocked door and a flashlight.
My door gets kicked in or someone walks through it unlocked I can positively say there will be shot up dead bodies. A very good chance I would be one of them but it would be more than just me that I can assure.
Which is why you don’t go walking around in unsuspecting people’s homes.

I don't understand why they so often dig in and just say "Oh well" rather than admitting their mistake and paying for the property damage they cause. Instead, they try to blame the victim and force them to sue the department and city to make things right.
I don’t understand why they so often make these kinds of mistakes.
Seems to me they need better intelligence before kicking in some innocent people’s door. And this shite happens daily across the country.
And they wonder why they aren’t particularly liked.

Yep.
Well and announcing ticket and parking price increases a week before getting your arse handed to you in a basket doesn’t help much either.
Traffic is traffic and there is only so many ways in and out of campus and honestly it’s not terribly different from 30 years ago. That’s not my really going to change much.
But allowing more parking back onto campus would help with sentiment at least. I used to pull in and back up over the curb at the Greek Theater or if I came in Highland just back up on a curb at the Cow Palace. Free.

I just don’t know why he absolutely fell off the face of the planet. Amazing crash.
