Bravo. Princess Bride is my wife's favorite film of all time. I showed her the clip and she immediately went "YEESSS!!". Lol

My wife and I are driving to my parents house tomorrow to spend time with my dad. We bought him a Sony 4K player and to help him start his collection, we got him Smokey and the Bandit and Ford vs Ferrari.

The temp while traveling through Baker. Between Barstow and Prim we counted 10 big rigs and 20 cars overheating on the side of the road.

113 here in the valley on Wednesday. My wife and I will actually be in Vegas on Wednesday. It's going to be a miserable drive through Mojave, I can already tell.

Meanwhile the Kern/Tulare/Fresno counties are only around 40% range. *sigh*

This is one of the reasons why I didn't bother to work the election polls this cycle. Too many crazies out there this time around.

Reminds me of a friend of mine who filled out an application for the Bakersfield Police Department a few years ago. He's a smart guy, graduated with honors in high school, got an AA in nursing and works as a paramedic. He loves helping people and after several years of working as a paramedic he wanted to give Law Enforcement a try, so he put in an application for the police department. He used one of his friends who is already in the department as a reference. During the interview the officer asked him, "at any point in your life have ever taken an illicit substance such as marijuana, ecstasy,

California has announced that on June 15th the state will completely open the economy back to 100% and the only mask mandates will be if you are in a public transportation hub such as bus/plane/train terminal, k-12 schools indoors, health care settings, homeless/emergency shelters, and cooling centers. If you are unvaccinated then you have to mask up wherever you go, but of course nobody's going to listen to that. My wife and I, along with the rest of my family have all gotten the shot. I'm ready to throw my mask in the trash.

I agree and there are several other teachers on campus who have their own grievances against the admin. It will be a fireworks show at the next board meeting.

Thanks, there are a lot of boomer teachers retiring due to COVID fatigue, so I'm sure something will turn up during the summer. Honestly, just typing that out made me feel better. This happened about a month ago and I'm still miffed about it.

What happened to me wasn't necessarily crazy, but it really pissed me off. In January, my mother-in-law passed away and she left all of her assets including the house to my wife and I. I was living in Bakersfield at the time and the house was a million times better than the little apartment we were living in, so we packed up and moved. I kept my job at the school I was working at, but that meant I had to commute nearly 120 miles round trip every day. I managed to finish off the year and I started looking for other schools to transfer to that was closer to our home in Visalia. There was a schoo

That's a high quality gif...yoink!

I have my grandfather's shotgun that he gave me before he passed away in 2013. It's a Browning Citori over/under that he used for competition shooting and hunting. It's absolutely beautiful, but I don't have a picture of it because it's currently at my parents house. What I do have a picture of is the hope chest that my wife has. Her mother's family is from Eastern Europe/Asia in Russia, Ukraine, Croatia, and the Steppes of Mongolia. Her great grandmother (x5 I believe) married a man who lived in Mongolia who was part of the local tribe and he hand carved a hope chest that depicted his culture

That's the Lowe's near my house is the one on Riggin. I live in the neighborhood just South along Ferguson. Lol
