Joke of the Day:

What sort of martial arts do cow do?




















Moo-jitsu.



I think that's quite appropriate for HHW.

Today I saw SIX people riding Bird scooters. I rarely see anyone. Perhaps they suddenly became popular.

Continued coping vibes to Jrand and family.

Jack, I think you're quite right to keep busy. I'm glad you have siblings who are helping out.

Evidently, there is a LOUD fireworks display going on pretty close to where I live.  I would guess down in Tumwater Valley, which is too far for me to see from my place (even on the third floor), but not too far to hear it. :P

The noise must be driving my niece crazy!  My cat's not reacting to the noise much at all.  I guess that that's a good thing.

Fireworks in Arizona is the stupidest thing ever. It is SO dry here. I don't think we've really had measurable rain since February or March. Home fireworks were illegal here for decades. Then one year they legalized them. Very stupid.

Very stupid.

From our place we watched some of the fireworks across the river in various parts of Portland.

Hopefully, they don't learn the error of their ways the hard way. :-\

Listening to Lalo Schifrin: A Life in Music four-CD box set - wonderful stuff.  Lalo lives next door to Richard Sherman.

Actually, that’s not true.  I imagine it is quieter in Beirut tonight than here in Tacoma.

At exactly 11:00, the north end grew really quiet.

I imagine the stillness had more to do with an appearance by Tacoma cops, rather than the kindness by any of these neighborhood goons.
