Like 7-8 weeks no rain, consistant 100F. Now 108 forecast next week. Unclear how all the farm critters and my grass dont just die. )I mean the grass is all brown and I've got one tree turning colors and shedding leaves, maybe this is completely unseasonable for here and I'm about to lose all my greenery after buying the place.)

Bizarre weather all over the country this year. We're way under norms for rain as well. Luckily, town water is cheap.

5 acres is a bit rough to water though especially with garden hoses. Though the back 40 gets enough groundwater somehow it's been fine, probably my sinking pond leeching back there. Been trying to just triage grass immediately around house/ donk/goat pen, and the tree's.

Oh yeah, that's a whole different ball game. We only have half an acre to worry about. If you don't mind the visual, don't sweat it. Nature does this shit and has for millions of years. Ebbs and flows. Probably no HOA to worry about on a plot of that size, right?

Had underground rain here. Pipe(s) broke somewhere up the street a short ways. I was wondering why my sump was running and looked out and saw water flowing up through the street all up and down the street. I called utilities district and they sent someone out right way, then spent the next almost two weeks tearing the crap out of the streets here fixing things. Neighbor across the way said his sump was running for a few weeks...and didn't think to call anyone.

Whats rustling my jimmies? This motherfucker right here

What is that, you ask? Why so rustled about an apostrophe?

No my friend thats not an apostrophe, its some bullshit hidden character only available on a Mac that looks just like a goddam regular apostrophe. The kind heterosexual Americans use. But instead, this is a special apostrophe. The Mac kind.

I accept that its my responsibility to sanitize the inputs to the database but goddam it, we were expecting English speakers, I should not have to prepare for characters that don't motherfucking exist on the standard American keyboard.

And this particular hidden character that looks to the eye just like a goddam regular apostrophe, if you fail to strip it out, causes all kinds of fuckery if you leave it in the DB.

Mac users are literally as bad as trannies, we should not have tolerated their emergence when they first showed up and now they think they get to be part of regular society with real people.

Move to WV, go to get our drivers licenses and vehicles registered, typical DMV wait time, but we get up there, licenses are fine but apparently WV requires WV insurance already on the vehicle to title/register it, so we can’t use the insurance we already have from NY and just transfer it. Get some WV insurance (now we have two because NY will fine me if I cancel it before they get their plates back) and wait two weeks for the next available DMV appointment. Get there today, apparently the entire state’s DMV systems have been down for over a week. Got another appt. Tuesday morning but who knows if it’ll be fixed then either?

What the fuck? I'm 99% positive if i called USAA with that issue they'd say, "No problem, do you want that change to go active immediately?" Then I'd get a fax number from the sloth behind the counter so they could fax over the proof of insurance.

Because I'm assuming WV won't accept a digital copy. and if I found myself in the exact situation because I froze and didn't think to call USAA from the DMV, they are perfectly willing to back date a change.

WV does take digital proof, but the bigger problem is NY sucking ass. I had called Geico to have them do that, but they said they couldn’t change it because of NY’s policy where there better be NY insurance on the vehicle until the plates are back in their hands, otherwise the fines are happening. So a shit combo of needing WV insurance ahead of time and not being able to change the NY insurance until the cars are registered in WV.

I could be the idiot here, but I’m not sure what the correct order of operations was supposed to be. Fucking Geico agent spent more time trying to sell me more policies than trying to help with the shit I already.

Vancouver Canada? Yeah, welcome to Vancouver and British Columbia and Canada. Free shit for worthless fuck Canadians, and saving the planet by destroying energy/transport affordability with taxes on taxes on taxes costs money dawg. There used to be some offset with affordability of convenience vs making the shit yourself, but not anymore. Even with the ridiculous prices of beef currently, I can still buy 2kg of beef for the price of two burger combos these days.

Which brings up one of my jimmy rustles, we have had retarded minimum wage laws in Canada for a long time, and it's not some weird "Oh, service industry with tipping gets a much lower minimum wage because tips." So since it's BC that worker at Five Guys is making the $15.65 minimum wage, and grabbing tips as well. Feel bad for the guys doing actual skilled work for only slightly more and not being able to pan handle for tips.

NY is the the keyword and evil operative in your dance with the dunces. Cali is much worse and that's before income tax is considered.

Woke up hearing some scratching coming from the closet. Moved my church shoes and something moved, but I didn't get a good look at it.

Went to make coffee and a roach flies at me out of nowhere and lands next to me, on the countertop. I kill it.

And then I see another one on the wall.

Morning peace is ruined.
