EXTREMITATION

Yesterday evening the neighborhood was full of naked legs. Some shapely and attractive, some ill-considered and better not dear. Of all genders. This blogger, as a crusty old fossil from the twentieth century, does not know what to think of that.

It is quite possible that hot pants may have come back. I remember the first time they were fashionable. With some distaste. Even then I wondered why on earth. I suspect that those things, more than anything else, caused the election of extreme rightwingers like Rondald Reagan, Bush and Bush, and Donald J. Trump. They did something to the redneck brain, constricted bloodvessels, encouraged fast food consumptio, or something. Goth clothing styles are a natural reaction. A protest against vulgar exhibitionism.
Onions should be tied to belts as was the style in those days.

Basically, the cold part of San Francisco summer is over.
The next two to three months will be vile.


In summer, Americans gain weight due to excessive consumption of sugary soft-drinks and syrupy ice-slush coffee bar concoctions, coupled with a near-complete lack of exercise.

Also sweet ice tea. Common in The South. One cup of sugar per teabag.
With more sugar added at the table when served.

During hurrican season, in large parts of the country, convoys carrying vats of co-cola and sweet ice tea concentrate for emergency shelters and Waffle House locations roll non-stop, to keep people who drawl habitually from rioting en-masse and looting the local strip mall. Hospital emergency rooms dispense it undiluted to folks who stumble in on a sugar-low.
Lest they crash limply and start wailing, incessantly, about Scarlett.

Herds of morbidly obese thirty year old grandmommas slowly wriggle toward overturned freezer trucks on the road between the cotton fields, desperate to feast upon the thawing ice cream leaking from its back, softly moaning 'whatever shall we do, whatever shall we do". They crawled out of their back porch hammock for this.

Oh, the humanity. Horrible, horrible.


Cletus has heat-stroke, there will be no trailer park methamphetamine for a while, let's hope that 'Messkins' with cocaine slip across the border to save us.

I should write a movie script about this.

BUT THEIR PIZZA IS EXCELLENT

Yesterday evening when I got home I found comments that can be charitably described as insane, antisocial, manic behavior on my Facebook page. Normally I am rather too tolerant.
But I had finally had enough. I deleted all of his recent comments, unfriended and blocked him, then posted that I had done so, for the benefit of those people who actually are friends.
In 'The Black Cauldron' (written by Lloyd Alexander), one of the characters says that we mourn some people for what they once were, others for what they have become.

Over the past year I have unfriended three or four individuals.

I do not gladly see people become toxic waste.


There are some folks who are high strung, exceptionally neurotic and very high maintenance. After a while the glitter of their talent fades, and their tense senseless frustration and bitchiness grates on one. Far too often they are New Yorkers.

Several of them have unfiended me over the years.
In retrospect, I'm glad they did so.
Somebody had to.

Upon due consideration I don't think I should ever go to New York. Those people are much more tolerable on teevee, from three thousand miles away, than they might be in person.

Anyway, I shan't mention his name here, don't want to create enmity, but I will say that if he was female he would assuredly be named 'Chloe'. Regular perusers of Reddit will easily understand that you can't get more irritating bitch than that. Chloe.

Pretty much the quintessence of Karen.

It's up to eleven.


Chloe.
