Warm and moist. Part sun. Part cloud. Or maybe something different, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Yesterday was a mixed bag, weatherwise,but it did get nice in the late afternoon and evening. Nice sunset. A bit too humid all day, but it is Houston after all.
I didn’t get much of my list done yesterday. My back was really hurting, far more than usual, and didn’t respond to my normal tricks. I even went back to bed for an hour. I clearly overexerted myself at the BOL and triggered something. I did get one pickup done, that had to be done Monday. It was items for the BOL. I got some other small things done around the house too, but that doesn’t give me much of a feeling of accomplishment.
This week I have to do something to advance my hobby club website. I might just set up the hosting account, with a ‘work in progress’ page, and get the domain transfer going. I really don’t want to re-up with the existing host, even for one more month. Although if that’s an option it would take the pressure off. My main focus for the rest of the week should be getting stuff together for the hamfest. I also need to do my afternoon kid wrangling, normal pickups (although I’m buying a lot less stuff, and it’s more focused) and drop off stuff with my auctioneer. I don’t have anything in this week’s auction, so something glitched. I thought I had stuff at his place waiting for listing.
And I’m certain that the normal sort of unexpected stuff will pop up. So I’m expecting the unexpected. As long as it’s not the Spanish Inquisition…
Oh, and I’ve got to do early voting too, in our local races, because I’m not available on the actual day.
Still, busy is better than bored, right? Right?
Get out in the world. Learn a new skill or get some training. Upgrade your ham license or try a new mode. Plan and plant your garden. Time is FLYING by.

Judge orders Bradley to testify in Willis trial

He claimed privilege on knowledge gained before he became Wade’s divorce attorney. The judge has other ideas. If he confirms that Willis and Wade started their affair before the dates they swore to the court, that would be the second such testimony.
John Hughes script. Stan Dragoti directing. Both former ad men.
“Yuppie” predates “Mr. Mom”. I don’t think it was a Sniglet, however.

With Willis, it isn’t a question of “if” but “when”.
Then, we need to ask the question “why”?

Also “who”: Who knew what, and when?
And why didn’t they report any ethical or legal violations which they witnessed?
Snitches get stitches.
Plus, Ethics. Trump tho.
Thing is, if any other lawyers knew of the inappropriate relationship, they had a legal duty to report it. If they had a duty and did not carry it out, that suggests that the entire office is corrupt.
It’s like with the typical police department. Maybe only 10% of the sworn officers are actively corrupt or otherwise actively breaking the law, but everyone else in the department knows about them. If the others do not report or even arrest the lawbreakers, it means that the entire department is corrupt.
The practical problem is characterized by that old saying: “A fish rots from the head.” If the top of the department is dishonest, there is no reason to report. The opposite, in fact, because reporting will get you marked as a disloyal troublemaker.
The other problem with US police forces is lack of training, plus hiring the wrong personality types. Wannabe machos with no actual guts or judgement. An acorn?
Not just an acorn. An assault acorn!
As for police, attorneys in the DA’s office, and such not being able to report malfeasance or crimes, nonsense. There’s the state bar association, various regulatory and licensing agencies, inspectors general, federal judges, and many others. If all else fails, and it may, there’s the press.
I’m not saying that it’s easy or comfortable or even risk-free. What it is, however, is their legal duty.
Whew, still hurting. Had a lie down, hot shower, 20 minutes of stretching, some time on the inversion table, and still hurt.

Today, I started going through little boxes of “treasures” to weed out junk. Dang, it is piling up already. I found “College Hunks: Hauling & Junk Removal,” which does junk removal of all types. I’ll use them or a similar local biz to get rid of the small junk.
@MrAtoz, or call 1-800- got junk
Or even just get a Waste Management Bagster bag at Home Depot and when it’s full, call for removal. IIRC they hold about 5 cu.yd.
‘Course the Hunk guys will sort thru looking for the good stuff before putting it in their dumpster.

Certainly, Austin TX doesn’t want to be part of the United States. Austin is the Berkeley of Texas.
Thanks for the tips. I’ve used 1-800 and Junk Kings before. I wonder if the WM bags can contain rubble, bricks, electronics, etc. The dumpster was restrictive of that stuff, but Hunks specifically lists that stuff as acceptable. They sort stuff for recycle and sale. I just need to shop prices.
Just be careful if the city starts offering health care.
I’m looking at a BOL house that needs foundation leveling. It’s pier and beam, and only the added-on wing needs leveled. Nick said in his case it was $1200 per pier, and he needed 27 of them, but I got the impression it was a slab house. Internal piers are more expensive, but again I think that was for slabs. Also, soil conditions make a difference. Someone else said $500 per pier.
The asking price doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room in my budget, but the realtor said it’s an estate sale and there’s probably room to give. She’s a friend of the family and is waiving half her fee to them.
I suppose I could make an offer contingent on cost of leveling.
We’ll see. Advice appreciated.
My case was very expensive, using helical piers to level my slab.
Pier and beam should be easy to do, and should be a lot less than my work cost. IIRC there are guys in the Heights that were advertizing $1200 for a typical bungalow. That was low even then… but it should be fairly low.

Testimony in the Rust accidental shooting case continues. IDK what difference it makes in Hannah’s trial whether the bad baldwin pulled the trigger or not. The only question that affects HER is DID SHE FAIL TO DO THE SAFETY CHECKS SHE WAS HIRED AND PAID TO DO? and secondary to that, DID SHE LOAD THE PROP GUN WITH LIVE AMMO?
Because even if she did load the gun, doing the industry standard check would have found it and avoided the tragedy.
The prosecutor even bringing in the experts and addressing BALDWIN’s alleged actions has no relevance to Pinkie’s trial and further convinces me of both the DA’s incompetence and political motivation to get BALDWIN. That Pinkie’s lawyer is allowing it, tells me that s/he knows Pinkie is in trouble and is hoping to divert some blame and use the situation to her client’s advantage. “It’s all Baldwin’s fault, if he didn’t pull the trigger, my client’s incompetence wouldn’t have mattered!”

I recall billboards in rural Illinois in the mid-1960s for the John Birch society. A picture of Uncle Sam with the caption “He’s your UNCLE, not your FATHER.”

I know the homeless get mental health services on the government dime. My wife rounds at the mental hospital downtown once a month.
After Texas repeals the prohibition on income tax in the November 2027 election, I’m sure that Austin will want a city income tax.

Speaking of Wendy’s, today’s Tyler Durden cowardice shielding someone in the mainstream press:

An InBevAB facility will be even more high tech.

That was probably me. I got my 2004 office building leveled in October 2022 and my 1998 home leveled in April 2023. 10 piers and 17 piers from Jericho Foundation. All at $500 per pier since they were on the outside and both are slab foundations. In both cases they raised my buildings 1.5 inches. I suspect that I will have to have them out soon for another corner of my office building as my office floor has a huge corner crack in it (I have mostly concrete floors).
https://www.trustjericho.com/
If they have to jackhammer inside the building, the cost goes up considerably from what they told me.

Their complaints about Israel’s reaction being unforeseeable, and the real criminal act as opposed to what they did, are unimaginably self-centered and blind to reality. What did they think Israel would do about such an atrocity? Roll over like a hurt child and cry into their blankies? Demand sympathy from the rest of the world while doing nothing? What, in Israel’s track record since its independence in 1948, made them think that would be a likely response?”
I think that world also expected Israel to just take it too.

Just another day in a Democratic Paradise.
January 2025:
President Trump issues Executive Order suspending federal funds going to any unit of state or local government that discriminates based on race.
As an example of what can get your funds immediately suspended, President Trump shows “an “implicit bias test,” a Harvard website generated the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” slides”, announces Immediate suspension of Harvard University, Fulton County Georgia, and a DOJ subpoena for all downloads from the racist and bigoted Harvard site.
U.S. Secretary of Education announces that every educational institution will be required to attest that they do not discriminate based on race.

The hamas thing is just their normal arab attitude pushed to 11. No one has reset their expectation in a while. Pigs and dogs are there to do whatever you want to them, and they should take it because they are pigs and dogs. The bodycam rape and murder and murderous rape footage was shot BY THE TERRORISTS. They thought they’d be celebrated for it. It’s getting close to time for some good ol’ ethnic cleansing. Sucks if you look and sound arab but don’t worship the pedophile prophet.
Ditto for the current invaders.

And if they aren’t making lists now, they will as soon as they realize a list would be possible.

Six eggs today, from six chickens. A record. Not all of the hens laid today. The red hen, the one which was attacked by the hawk a few days ago, laid twice. The first was small, maybe half the volume of her usual eggs. (The three egg breed lay eggs all about the same size. The three other hens’ eggs are distinctive for size, shape, and color. The red hen’s are a bit smaller than the others’, no doubt because she’s by far the smallest of the birds. Her eggs are also slightly pinkish to my eye, which I wouldn’t have expected.) The second was normal. She’s laid every day since the attack, unprecedented for any of the three non-egg-breed birds. I can only assume that some “Danger! Must procreate!” switch was flipped. I looked online to see if this was to be expected but got nowhere. All I got was warnings that hawks will attack chickens. Yah, thanks, I didn’t know that.
The red hen seems fine. She’s not fussing with the bandage which is still around her neck. She’s eating and running around and lying in the sun when out of the run and doing her fair share of stealing treats from the other birds. She’s still a bit shyer than she had been but it’s getting better.
I let the birds out twice yesterday, once briefly and once for a longer period, and once today for a couple hours. Each time, I brought them back to the run as soon as they headed for the forest. Maybe it’ll be possible to train them to stay close to the house. I’m not holding my breath but it could happen.
We get a fair amount of foot (and bicycle and scooter and baby stroller) traffic past our house, considering that we’re at the end of a dead-end street. If I’m out front and the chickens are near and the passers-by include children, I’ll often ask if the kids want to see some chickens. They almost always do, even if they’re scared to get too close. OK, I get it, these chickens are shaped something like the velociraptors they’re descended from, but you’re about ten times their mass. You got this, kiddo. The kids, and the parents, have often never been near animals other than dogs and cats and hamsters and maybe a parakeet. They’ve never been near the animals which provide a chunk of their food. And some are cautious or even afraid of the ferocious beast. Not just three-year-olds but preteens and even some adults. Boggles my mind. Yah, I realize that I grew up in farm/ranch country and it was decades ago, when the typical American was not as separated from the real world, but it boggles my mind that people don’t make the connection between the eggs they eat and the feathered nuisance currently scratching for grubs and flinging the bushes’ mulch all over the lawn. Nor do they remember that humans are apex predators while chickens are prey animals. Behave like it, people!
Macy’s will close its flagship Union Square store

Macy’s had already sloughed off 35% of it’s downtown SF space in 2018. If I were really interested I could probably find information on the use of those parts since 2018, including employee headcount and property taxes.
Selling 700,000 ft2 in 2024’s downtown SF is probably going to be difficult. Few retailers are capable of taking over such a chunk and if so, it would not be a good bet. I wonder if Macy’s is on the list of property owners requesting revaluations?

Israel is all done putting up with this stuff, and who can blame them? Despicable is the way Hamas hides behind their own civilians.

In a few years, the whole thing will play out all over again… and again…
