Freedom

It just has a way of continuing to break out: "The Government Filled a SoCal Skate Park with Sand, So the Skaters Turned it Into a Dirt Bike Track".

Update Another nice catch from Gateway Pundit: did you know that, per the Right Reverend Al Sharpton, Trump is "pouring salt on open wombs [sic]"? Must sting!

In spite of all the lies, all the bias, all the hypocrisy spewed by innumerable MSNBC talking heads the last few years, I didn't need to witness any of it to know that the network was not a serious outlet for news and analysis. MSNBC forfeited all credibility the day they hired this semi-literate, buffoonish con-man back in 2011 (actually, the loss of credibility happened well before that singular event, but bringing Sharpton on board certainly sealed the network's fate as a media clown car).

Like I always say, "When life hands you a lemon, make a grenade!"

Well done, people. Well done!

AZ is weird.
Tonto National Park, stretching from south of Phoenix to the Grand Canyon, is closed but Lake Pleasant camp ground is open. The beach on the lake was pretty crowded but I can't go out in the desert to camp. Sonomabatch.

Protip if you go camping at Lake Pleasant. Don't feed the wild donkeys who come to your site unless you want 1000 lb raccoons trashing your site all day into the night.
My buddy gave them some coffee cake/pastry and peaches and cream instant oatmeal. They ate the dog food and got into the plastic tubs and ate bread and some other stuff and just wouldn't leave us alone. They don't scare away either.

Sorry about the camping trip. I'll remember about the donkeys.

Veeshir said...

Oh, it was a good trip. It was very nice to get out of the house.
The two sites next door were together and partied hard. It was like an outdoor bar just byob. Or byow as the case may be. The first bar crowd we'd seen in weeks. It was cool.
Just don't feed the giant hee-hawing raccoons.
My buddy said he saw s warning on *censored*book not to feed Jack and Jenny afterward.

Veeshir,

Don't feed the wild donkeys who come to your site unless you want 1000 lb raccoons trashing your site all day into the night.

When I lived in Big Bear (Big Bear Lake, CA) there were hundreds of them, and they would literally try to eat anything, including the siding on your house. They seemed to like the taste of linseed oil that was a common varnish up until recent years. People started painting the lap siding on older homes and cabins specifically to deter the donkeys.

It sorta scared me when they ate the canned, chunks of meat like substance in gravy, dog food.
I prefer it when huge herbivores don't go all carnivore on me.

Paco said...

I had no idea donkeys could be such pests.

Veeshir I have a secluded no frills property (2.5 acres) near Ashfork that is next to the forest. My sister's parcel backs up to it. You can use it anytime.

Deborah said...

I never knew there were donkeys in Big Bear. Are they still there? Such a beautiful place.

Veeshir said...

That sounds awesome. I have been thinking of looking for something like that.
They're starting to call people back to work so I have high hopes and I'm going to stay near Phoenix for a while.
I might take you up on that in the summer to get away from 120 though if you're serious.

I thought the skaters had just shoveled it out. Guess not every kid is a trust fund baby in San Clemente. Now if they would only put that much effort into academics and jobs.

My previous comment was a reply to you Deborah.
My computer, using Opera, doesn't show "reply" and any replies go at the end. My phone does. I go back and forth depending on if I'm inside or on my patio.
