Nice day to put the washing on the line:

I have been voted as official liaison to you all for the local CA autistic community by president Biden\Uncle Joe. Also, a woman at the welfare office did me dirty while at the homeless shelter last year. Withheld my foodstamps dangit. I've waited until this week to humbly reapply and have thankfully been awarded nearly 3/4 a grand in back pay.

I just realized someone in their mid-20s returned to school posing as a 17-year old student, to "relive their glory days" and play basketball, and I was thinking an ulterior motive also was the reason and it turns out he was also "dating" a 14-year old girl.

Incidentally, it reminds me of 'second smartest man in the world' Rick Rosner who spent 10-years going to HS. . . https://boingboing.net/2014/08/08/gweek158.html

This might be why people claim "IQ doesn't mean anything," or maybe it does? (in a really sad way.)

My brother worked on helicopters while in the Marines, and incidentally lives in Rowlett, though wouldn't have been involved in anything recently. This video is said to have a Tik-Tok connection, and it might be referring to the video shown here (which a lot of news agencies refuse to show; basically the back tail section separates from the body and causes the craft to lose control and crash.)

The local Addison private airport (which I've been to for air shows prior to fireworks) had a widely reported accident occur a few years ago.

Yesterday Jesse's younger brother Jackie beat 'em in a leg race on North Street. But get this. Jesse had like a 6 foot head start too. Jackie's a badass sprinter from Westside Modesto. If you don't support 'em then keep his name out your mouth son!

In other news, the rubber factory burnt to a stinky crisp.

Also, we had one day last week with a temperature high of 83 and a low of 43.

Everybody still wore shorts.

"Huh?" I know me too. But it's Cali.

Just yesterday, a rapper hadn't even entered the stage yet close to midnight, and it seems apparent that he has a history of shootouts at his concerts. . . It seems he left Tennessee, headed to Mississippi, and arrived in Texas with the same outcome.

1 killed, 10 wounded in shooting at southeast Oak Cliff concert, police say

Mass shooting at Texas trail ride concert in Dallas leaves one dead and ten wounded including three children

Rapper Big Boogie & caravan of 20+ friends arrested following Mississippi shooting (Apr. 8, 2021 SENATOBIA, Miss. )

(I think the above was a result of firing bullets at someone inside a vehicle. . . They never even made it to the concert because they were a bunch of retards.)

It mentions this previous shooting

2 dead following shooting at concert in Panola County (Jul. 12, 2020)

6 dead 12 injured in a shooting a block away from the Capitol building. Seems like a nightclub altercation. I don’t go out at night except to walk my dog.

I read they are calling it gang violence. Somehow I didn't know the gangs reached all the way up there. Are you close to the Capitol?
