Hey Trump? NATO is meant to be a defensive force, not an offensive force.

I love that the members are telling us we're on our own.

I forgot to wear green today.

Since the painters are currently painting an accent wall green, will that save me from the haunting and ancestral rage?

Heh. Now I'm recovering my
machine, booted into Haiku OS on a thumb drive, doing a wget | dd to another thumb drive

Because apparently I don't have a thumb drive with Linux around here.

Umm mobile notary says he'll be here around 8:45 pm tonight for me to sign my loan docs

this seems like poor planning, how did no one let me know *sooner* or schedule it for a sane hour? Poor guy is driving 90 miles each way to me also

Damn. I learned today that the ophthalmologist I owe my eyesight to died two and a half years ago.

RIP, Gregory Olson. I would have a very different life without the three surgeries you did on my eyes starting in 1980.
