Putting the weeds to work for Us

I forgot the Sudanese (struggle between North and South part).
As for international news, you could try the BBC. And at the very least my 'national' enews site has an english version as well.

Actually, we have Roku, not cable now, but I bet we do have BBC news on there.  I don't actually know how to work the three-remote setup yet...

I had to give up being a news junkie in disgust 14 years ago, and am not a good source for what the US news says or does not, but I think almost all coverage at the national level about the Mexican immigrants is from the angle of what the bigots are saying/trying to do about it lately...

In fact, you've probably heard about what Donald [Sleezebag], an embarrassment to our species, said recently...

Our internet connection remains sporadically poor because we are at the end of a service line in the city. Basic Cable remains the most cost effective option since TWC (Time Warner Cable) maintains a near monopoly on the cable industry. Satellite remains relatively expensive in our area, but is still cheaper than cable.

Intercourse the cable company - they're playing Monopoly and charging monopoly prices, but not accepting Monopoly money.  Teh gub'ment's really dropping the ball on that.

That goes triple for Duke Power...

There's not going to be any vine arbor action before next April, I reckon, but in the meanwhile, Mylochka's agreed to showcase her ongoing project of making her new house wonderful - as it happens, I made a folder for the snow shots I took in the winter snow of 2009 or 2010, and never used it again.  Let's see what we have of her house before...

Ah.  Also a summer shot of part of the front from a similar angle.  I no longer remember whop was living there at the time.  We got rid of the trampy pothead in June '09, so this must've been the neighbor's girl and her family.  That didn't end all that well, either.

Wait.  Judging from the timestamps on the unedited shots in the folder, these are from 2005/2006 - an old retired couple from up north for a year - that did end well.

...Somewhere are the winter snow shots from after I had joined the community.  I took them to post, and recall Gamera saying he liked the 'old man' porch on the house - I said so did the old man, whom I miss very much...

I've always wanted to be an old man on a porch...

[Buster's Uncle]

It's a good sittin' porch.  Used it for that yesterday.   Yep yep yep yep.

[Metaliturtle]

did you have tobaccy?

[Buster's Uncle]

I smoked my tobaccy.  Chewing is disgusting.

[Metaliturtle]

still counts

[Buster's Uncle]

Like the way you counted to 75?

[Metaliturtle]

I don't know what you say

[Buster's Uncle]

Lots you don't know, Mr. €590.

[Metaliturtle]

like what?

[Buster's Uncle]

What color panties I'm wearing.
