A matter of practicality

Storm City

 We have 3 small Arctic spills whipping around the continent today.  The Arctic continues to spin and spit them out.  

Perhaps in all this chaos we'll get another warm day like yesterday.  The peas are in and they enjoy this weather.  

ps and we have the usual explanation.  The definition of the polar vortex is cold air.

It's cold because it's cold.

ps and don't hoard lobsters in your bathtub, because the Gulf of Maine is the coldest it's even been.

The Invasion of Gasoline Island

 I'm working on a new computer game.  It has the US marines doing a full beach assault on an island stacked up to the wazoo with giant tanks of gasoline.

It's very exciting.  A full D-day assault, with massive ship bombardment, amphibious landers, marines and everything.  Problem is that the game only lasts 10 minutes.

In reality, none of those ships can get through Hormuz.  So, I have one ICE guy in a rowboat.  He gets out, plants a flag, and runs back to the boat.  It ends with a great hurrah, stolen music, and cheers from all the president's men, no women.

ps all's well, trukmp is back to skimming off the top.

Corruption like this is a great incentive to not blow up the world.
