A friend of mine spent a weekend in jail for taking a whizz up a tree. Can’t remember which county, but he was camping in the middle of nowhere and, in the morning, he exited the tent and pee’d up a nearby tree.
About 15 minutes later, a deputy showed up and arrested him, said he watched him do it from the next hill over. He was arrested and taken to jail. That was Saturday morning, and the judge didn’t see cases until Monday…
They’re lying (I would say gaslighting but that’s too ironic even for me) and hoping the grid holds up.
That’s just wrong. Because peeing outside is one of the great joys in life. Maybe the greatest.
Another friend of mine - this one in Limeyland - was given a traffic ticket for pulling over on a highway to take a whizz. Hilariously, he had to declare the ticket and the circumstances behind it every time he renewed his auto insurance.
Point in favor of Latin America: People pee on the side of the road with total immunity.
Hey, my mother’s family were Yankees, although they had the decency to move to San Antonio in the 1950’s when she was in high school.
Germany also. They pee everywhere/anywhere.
That was my experience in rural China too. “Where’s the toilet?” “随便.”
Do you know the EB White thing about Yankees? I can’t remember it exactly, but it’s something like in Europe, everyone from the States is a Yankee; in the States, everyone from the North is a Yankee; In the North, New Englanders are Yankees; in New England, Vermonters are Yankees; and in Vermont, Yankees are the people who eat pie for breakfast.
Houston school cancellations for tomorrow are starting
More importantly…how is everyone fixed on toilet paper? There’s a run on, because nothing promotes bowel movements quite like 30-degree weather.
My mom in SA had a power outage this morning. I do not know the reason, but she did not sound happy about it happening.
She’s probably misinformed.
I was assured that wouldn’t happen.
(Hope it’s restored quickly)
Thankfully it is. She apparently found a dog that was wondering. So, that is an interesting development to follow.
I haven’t, but it makes sense. I went to college with quite a few kids from New England. The Vermonters were always the odd ones out.
Where in SA? My mom lives on the north side a few blocks away from the Oblate Seminary near Loop 410.
Close to where Brooks air base used to be. 410 and 37. It could have been due to ice. But who is going to believe that after last year.
Don’t know if there’s a better pair of state-based epitets than Mainiacs and Massholes.
This seems less than ideal.
Damn you, AOC!
Yeah, thanks Obama.
