Scifi/Fantasy Book Recs
Just finished First in a planned trilogy by The Expanse writers. Not as good as The Expanse series, kind of out there. But I'll probably read the entire trilogy when it comes out.

Halloween/Horror Movie Thread
I looked it up and I was thinking of the story "Graveyard Shift," about the giant rats in the basement of an old mill in that collection.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Honestly, sports were ruined before MAGA came along. Video review ruined sports a long time ago, and I blame ESPN and network TV for that.

Tucson is a great city, and UA has a great vibe imo.

Hegseth & the Boys
The hair and the PT crap was the excuse, not the reason. The reason was so he could cosplay being a manly SecWar, show em who's boss, force them to obey bullshit orders to make himself feel big and tough. doTArd was there because everything has to be about him, can't let a toadie get any press without him.

Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
Seems like a really fucking bad idea to pole around in shallow water anywhere near bull elephants. Does day two of their safari adventure itinerary call for a hike through lion and hyena country? Idiots.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
i got my flu and covid shots at my local small town pharmacy. First time I went tho, they didn't have the covid. Pharmacist said she ordered the covid shots, but they hadn't arrived yet, she didn't know why, and seemed kind of pissed about it. Went back two later and they had them. I was speaking of a possible (probable?) future scenario based on the way things are going now. Especially considering that people already travel to Mexico for less expensive drugs and dental care, among other things.

Mexico is probably closer for most Texans.

5.5 Magnitude earthquake in Pecos just now
60 acre saltwater lake near Imperial, contaminated with hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide. Caused by leaking well. RR commission refuses to clean it up, because the original well, drilled in the 50s, didn't produce oil, so the drillers just said "hey, rancher, free water well. have fun." Water was clean enough for awhile, now its toxic, and the leak is 200 gallons/minute. (I'm lucky to get 9 or 10 gallons/minute from my water well). Also, somehow, nobody knows who owns the land. https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/a-toxic-lake-grows-unchecked-in-the-west-texas-desert/

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Even before back up cameras, it was easier to back in park. You can see the lines on both sides with your side mirrors when you back in, can't see them at all when you pull in.
