It's been a while since we have heard the news from Lake Woebegone.

Ah! Thanks! Someone got it! LOL

Maybe only we real old farts would though....

Gonna have snow again tonight here on the prairie.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I too, come from a small town. You can't miss it though, it's right between "Slow Down" and "Litter Barrel."

We do have two gas stations, but they share the same pump.

Speaking of MIA, along with Bendable, has anyone seen the Monkey... Last seen swinging from the trees on Jan 30.

Monkey was IT director for an engineering company before recently retiring. He was trying to help a member with a problem, networking problem if memory serves. Somebody else basically told Monkey that he was full of crap, monkey being justifiably tired of that shit, said "adios." That was February 1, 2021.

He posted last week, in the pistol section.

Ouch I missed that originally and just found it after doing a search. Nasty ....

Really sorry to see sigmonkey gone.

There's been too much of that sort of stuff in recent times. ApplianceBrad's period of absence immediately comes to mind.

I gave some books to an older friend of mine. One was a book by Garrison Kellior, of course, about Lake Woebegone.

Lady is 88 years old, never heard of The Prairie Home Companion. So I doubt like hell she read the book.

I liked the sly humor...some folks don't I guess.

Glad hearing from bendable.

Good to hear. I always enjoy your point of view.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

If it makes you feel any better, nobody likes Windows10, except maybe the 4th grader with your computer skills, who doesn't know any better because he hasn't experienced any better.

I know those feelings dealing with Win10!!!! Finally got it working, but now am "reluctant" to install changes, lest I have to go thru that same mess again.

Glad to see you are still around.
