Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.4C and it's presently 13.0C, overcast, gusting winds & steady rain; there was 18.0mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. It's a misty/fine rain, coming down in 'sheets' due to the wind. And, yes, this was predicted.

So, it's an 'inside' day. I'll probably do some dhobi as the tanks are full & being continually 'topped up'.

That's about it, take care all.

Somewhat ironically, there's a drive-in fairly up the road a bit from where that happened.

It's name is/was "The Corral"

Their signature burger was a large (like 8" wide) burger called ... (wait for it) ... The Nitemare ...

The Corral: A Tasty NiteMare

Good stuff.



Yeah ... I've driven through that general area plenty in my life ... and at night.

But I wouldn't make it practice to hang out there ... especially off the main drags.



Could be ... or it could be just another random act of senseless violence.

Somewhat emblematic of the larger gun culture that constitutes modern America. Sad.



It's not really downtown Akron ... more east side.

About 800' from Goodyear's World HQ campus.



Like many areas in America, there are good areas ... and then not-so-good areas.

Your opinion and your opinion only,
opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one and they all stink but mine.
Plus you can bet with the lack of news coverage that it was minority gangbangers.

Sounds like gang culture.

Got home from camping in early afternoon, and got everything unloaded and put away.
This week will be mowing , and shopping for larger mower for the farm fields.

Sorry … but the “gun culture” doesn’t only encompass competitive shooting and hunting game for sport.

Both totally legitimate things BTW.

It includes Hollywood’s glorification of violence and the gun, minority gangbangers, and violent ideological radicals … like the guy who suicided himself by cop after trying some target practice at that FBI office down near Cincy …

Plus you can bet with the lack of news coverage that it was minority gangbangers.

Lack of news coverage ?

There is no lack of news that I can see … it was covered both nationally and locally.

Of course it didn’t make the 11 o’clock news here last night … since it happened after midnight.

Sounds like gang culture.

Quite possibly.

Of course, at this point in time, gang culture and gun culture in America are inextricably intertwined to some extent.

RS, I have two lock-n-lube couplers and swear by them. I like 'em because now I don't have to hold the coupler on the nipple squarely. No leaks.

61 this morning high in 80s low 80s that is. Looks to be cool June on east coast. Not sure hurricane season will be as bad as they say, dust from Saraha may keep storms from developing and that would be good news.

Hope everyone has a great day

Cup of coffee is cooling. 52° with fog this morning. Heading to 79° with mix of sun and clouds. Ended up a neighbors helping change transmission filter and oil in his tractor. Never did get BBQ smoker started. Had dinner at their place. No more delaying. The ribs will get that done today. Did watch Detroit Grand Prix and NASCAR races. Will install new GFI's on power pole today. Then see waht else need to be done.
Last Peony popped out yesterday.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.
