H&I Fires for the Day.

Open post for those with something to share. New, complete posts come in below.

I'll start - this kid is why there are so many warning labels on ladders...

Heh. Don't piss off the pilot. Of course - it couldn't have been *that* bad - there are luxury hotels on the place.

Bad Cat Robot rouses herself - finally - and takes on Marketeers... after all, where are *her* adult-sized blinking shoes and personal jet pack? Hmmmm? HMMMMMM?

Cassandra has *still* not been heard from.

Alan has his Best Beer of 2005 musings up at his Beer Blog. Smuttynose Big A IPA? I like India Pale Ales, but *that's* an odd name...

Heh. Don't mind all the pervs in the raincoats lurking around the corners. Note to little bloggers - post a boobie pic (even hidden), get overrun by Google-pervs. Hmmmm. I should replace the pic with something like a fuzzy bunny. We're on track to our best month ever (though we aren't going to break 1 mil uniques this month) and we've had over 1.5 million *visits* this year - and the rush is from the pervs. Sigh. 224 visits this last hour - half to the boob pic.

"Ware the Chihuahua!"

FREMONT, California - A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home following a traffic stop, authorities said. The officer suffered minor injuries including bites to his ankle on Thursday when the five Chihuahuas escaped the 17-year-old boy's home and rushed the officer in the doorway, said Fremont detective Bill Veteran.

Really. Gotta keep an eye on 'em. Damn gangs. I blame Bush.

The Armorer

Sorry--no Cassie yet...

AFSis is waxing poetic--and pensive...

Desult the Flutterby found an Interior Guard with a mission and is shopping for interior decorators (heh)...

And Fuzzybear Lioness has morphed into quite the social butterfly. Spending the day with the *gahkk! p-tui!* Navy, indeed...

Damn, I'd rather run into Cassie around here than you, Bill, but, whatever...

Anyway - All you Canuckistanians - We're Busted! Of course, first thing they'd do is have the RCMP arrest us for being armed.

Update (via the Blogfather)

Jonah: War Plan Red has been known for years. Although the plan was declassified in 1974, the 1935 Army war games were fairly open that they were based on war with Great Britain involving an invasion of Canada. Every couple of years, it gets pulled out, usually by a left wing Canadian professor who wants to use it to tar Canadian conservatives as making common cause with the hated Americans. About 8 years ago, it was even argued that the location of Fort Drum in upstate New York was to prepare for an invasion of Canada (instead of being a pork barrel project by Senator D'Amato).

It is no surprise it comes up now. Canada is in the midst of a general election and the liberals are performing badly. This could be 3-5% to the Liberals (or at least away from the Tories).

Punctilious Sends:

Posts over the last couple days have struck home. Two are combined in this post. We travelled in a red Studebaker and the kitchen boxes my dad, a WWII vet, made are probably based on the OMK's you wrote about earlier. That was the first thing I thought of when I read that post. Of course the funereal links have hit too close to home. We will be glad to see the back of this year. --p
