Sure The Rock Is a Businessman

July 5, 2024

This morning I seized the opportunity to wade through the afterbirth of a confused nation’s celebration last night.

The debris of roadside Scout Tent fireworks littered the streets like something secret had gotten out.

Remains were left center-right of the curbside with no known pickup until next week, maybe the week after on some slower blocks over.

Some of the streets were lucky enough to have rid themselves of the yearly Moose Lodged in The Freer Zoned Areas professional displays years ago. Others, were fortunate enough to have received yet another dose of the self-described, semi-professional battling displays of the those who had made the trips to the local reservation – some say ironically, others say they always see their 7 fingered customers coming.

    Tubularsock observed last night on the streets of Oakland, CA enough explosive power to take Sudan on the first strike!

    NOT KIDDING!

      The Lens’ printing pressed/editorializing warehouse is located a bit north by northwest of Seattle as an old Obama drone flies, which puts us smack dab about 70 miles from any decent Target store – which we’re pretty grateful for most days…but yes! Even out here the locals sounded ready to take on Yemen via dry docked ferries I’m guessing and I dunno Tube – feels like we were talking about similar 10 years ago?

      You look good though ; )

        Ahh TVL, so true. Time does fly when you’re having fun.

        Now, should we rally around the flag?

        Tubularsock loves your insights. Kind of like poison ivy.

        Cheers.

          Only if said flag is attached to a pole dancing joint in my old Portland memories files. The PDX dancers kind, not the EU kind I’ve been told.

          I’m pretty sure my hash tagged insights over at the Insta Zucker got me into some scratchy situations- ie de-insta’d, un-grammed, less vigilanced. But not unlike your years of having been there, written that now – no lotion will keep me from coming back eventually.
