re: Freight train vs truck

Posted by uaslick on 6/13/25 at 8:26 pm
I didn’t hear the train blow its horn. Maybe the truck driver was texting and needed a toot.
Crows will flock together to attack an owl. May make it worse.
Our backup QB is the starter.
My maternal grandfather was born in 1888. Died in 1981 at age 92. Was 26 years old when WWI started and 29 when US entered. Was too old to go. He was 53 when Pearl Harbor was attacked (same year my mother was born, LOL).
When I was a kid, Groundhog Day was reported to be six more weeks of winter or spring is here on time. Given that spring begins March 20, the difference is only a week, so the difference is negligible and it made it seem like it was made up just to be silly.

The narrative now seems to be early/late rather than 6 weeks/on-time. I never saw the point. Obligatory Get off my lawn.

Curious activity in Montgomery

His orange jumpsuit reminds me of the My’qurochrome my mother used to cauterize minor cuts I would get when I was a kid. https://www.wsfa.com/2025/05/16/arrest-made-deadly-montgomery-double-shooting/

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A suspect is in custody nearly a month after a deadly double shooting in Montgomery, according to the Montgomery Police Department. MPD and Fire Medics responded to the 3200 block of Brookwood Drive on reports of a shooting around 8:30 p.m. April 17. First responders found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. One of the victims, identified as Jaquan Lewis, 21, of Montgomery, was found in life-threatening condition. Both victims were taken to an area hospital for treatment where Lewis succumbed to his wounds. Friday, police arrested and charged My’Qurious Solomon, 21, with murder and attempted murder. He is currently being held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility.

Lists look racist. Not a single upcomma anywhere.

A kid in one of my wife’s 4th-grade classrooms called an apostrophe an upcomma.

re: Growing from Seeds- Help Needed

Posted by uaslick on 5/2/25 at 7:55 pm
I didn’t have a single okra seed germinate. I soaked the rest of the pack and replanted them Wednesday. I also only had 9 of 14 cantaloupes sprout and 3 of 4 squash sprout. I replanted some of those too. This 2+ inch rain we just got either helped or washed them away. My garden is 4 miles from my house and I haven’t been out there today. Still raining in Tuscaloosa.

ETA: I planted my garden on 4/13 and dug up the okra row and couldn’t even find a seed. Definitely no sprouts. Bought the seeds at Home Depot.
