mallorys_cameraDo I give a shit that an American contractor was killed by members of the Iraqi militia?
I do not.
I figure that’s one of the risks you take if you wanna be a mercenary when you grow up.
One of the few positive things one could say about Trump was that he saw no upside to an ongoing Middle East conflict.
But now, somehow, his ego has become involved. So, he’s revving up for WWIII.
President Spanky, I would like to submit that that shriveling you feel in your balls is actually a known side effect of all that Propecia you dump on your head! Yes, yes, it does cure male-pattern baldness but it also fucks with your virility and makes you grow man-titties!
The assassination of every last Iranian general on the planet is not gonna help you get it up again. Unless you stop using Propecia!

If we wanna have panic attacks about Human Extinction Events, though, I think what’s going on in Australia right now is the far more likely scenario.

Meanwhile, my little life continues to putter on, far from the shadow of the volcano. Temps rose into the high 40s yesterday, so I went for a five-mile tramp. I saw two red-tailed hawks:
You’ll have to take my word that they’re red-tailed hawks because you really can’t tell from this bad phone photo.
Also added another 1,000 words to the work in progress. The visit to the premies at Young’s Pier ate most of that though I did finally get the opportunity to introduce Rita La Roy who in another 20 years or so is gonna steal June’s second husband.
Here’s what Rita La Roy looked like in the 1940s at the height of her husband-stealing:
Kind of a hard face, no? Girl who’s seen a lot of the world from the vantage point of a pool of vomit on a bathroom floor. Or maybe I’m biased because, after all, Rita La Roy is a minor villainess.
I do not.
