Monday Stuff on the Way to Other Stuff: Tuesday

     We woke up this morning to big piles of poo in the 'kitchen'/main area. Unfortunately, that pretty much described last evening, as well. 
     The Higher Ground Fair this year was even better than last year's event...and I'm betting 2020 will be even better. When we left Laramie for home, a wonderful Santana/Pink Martini band was playing; the llamas were out prancing around, and people were having a great time. 
     After three hours of driving, we made it back. Got some pizza, had a slice with friends who came over to help (thanks, guys) -- and got to work. 
     Today, we rented a storage area for leftovers; took a truckful to donations; and finished off the rest. We're both bone-tired, and not sleeping well, but it can't be helped.
                     Tomorrow is, God willing, the closing. 


The primary poo-producer. No pizza crusts for her.

*Michigan got stomped by Wisconsin this weekend!? The Broncos were trounced, too.
I don't want to talk about it.

The whole 'Storm Area 51' thing just pooped out. Darn. That's what serious action (and threats) from the military will get you.

Joe Biden's response, when asked about his son's overseas dealings (and Biden's role in firing the government official investigating his son's business):

“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Mr. Biden said Saturday, NewsBusters reported. “I know Trump deserves to be investigated. He is violating every basic norm of a president. You should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader?"

Ummm...because he's the President, Mr. Biden? That's what presidents do -- talk to other world leaders. And gosh, could President Trump actually be standing up for the country he represents? One wonders...nice try, though.

A two-ingredient angelfood cake? Yup, from Betty Crocker.

Piadina -- an easy Italian flatbread that's good for sandwiches.  (From the Curious Cuisiniere)


This looks good, too:  Shirazi, a Persian cucumber salad. Perfect for end of the summer veggies.



Thinking about touring Australia in an RV? Let Kevin and Ruth tell you about their experience these past 6 months or so.

Surviving on very little money... a classic from Trent at The Simple Dollar. In keeping with that:

A hundred ideas and resources, if you're broke, need help with housing, food, jobs, etc. Some good ideas here, even if you're flush! (From Cash Only Living) And:

"A penny saved:" the tale of thousands of pennies squirreled away, and a portrait of Lincoln made entirely from one-cent pieces!  (From Misadventures of Widowhood)

The best Craigslist hacks for selling furniture at a profit.  (From Emily Henderson)

UFOS: three that the Navy admits really are "unidentifiable."

The woman who had a man living in her attic for months...and she didn't know. (Though she suspected something)

The most amazing bride-demanding gift list ever. Talk about cojones!

A doctor tries to open a new account at a bank -- they call the cops. (There's got to be a backstory on this one...he says it was racial profiling.)

Financial epiphanies -- a classic from yours truly.

So all sorts of Democratic contenders are apologizing, now that they've yelled for both Judge Kavanaugh's (and Prez Trump's too, of course) heads, because the 'new' sex accusations against Kavanaugh weren't proven. (Actually, they're old ones -- just resurrected after being mentioned in a new book.)
       So they're apologizing now. Right? Uh... no.

25 people who died trying to take a selfie. And this list is from 2015! Are you up for more? See Wikipedia's updated list.

Images of the USS Eagle, sunk by a German submarine just a few miles off the coast of Maine in 1945. (So much for the Deutschers not being interested in -- or getting close to -- U.S. shores.) The wreck was discovered in recent years.

Have a good week.
