I’ll cut my fucking legs off and buy a wheelchair and roll my ass around before I ever get one of those.

Fuck Musk

Alive and on the open water

Self checkout in the PNW rules.

Self checkout in South (east) Florida sucks.

Why? Because the volume is on 11, and the customer base is as dumb as a rock. Seriously, stand at any self checkout in SF for 10’ minutes and watch.

In 11 minutes you will either want to kill them or yourself, sometimes it’s a tossup.

You know I’m thinking maybe it’s time we made Running Man a real thing … I know who its first contestant can be.

Then those of us who survive find the bunkers and pour enough cement or move enough earth to entomb them.

4-6knts in 25knts of wind.

Yeah man, it’s tense. When the non-natives start seeing the natives start sweating, they get neeerrrrrrvvvooouuuusssss.

I don’t think there’s a drop of gasoline left east of Pensacola.

… bourbon time

So cook at home

As of this post the projected path puts this hotel, a local landmark, The Don Cesar as ground zero.

The storm surge will flow unabated (nothing but net) into Tampa Bay and slam McDill AFB head on with 15foot+ storm surge & 100mph+ sustained winds, along with everything else from funneled driving water into the shallows / beach / inlets.

On the beaches all of the curbs and sidewalks and parking lots are sand mounds, broken buildings, debris, homes of wrecked and soggy (and decaying) furniture, bedding, cars, clothes motorcycles, e-scooters & bikes from 11 god damned days ago from the last hurricane to pass by.

The highways inland going north are choked. Half my family & friends are in Jacksonville in a hotel, they live 5 miles inland from the Don CeSar hotel. Those who haven’t left yet can only hope to outrun this storm and drive south like hell, along a coast 1/4 of the way, to duck underneath it. Except there’s no gas / petrol left where they are, and I suspect along the 1st 1/4 of the route. Home Depot / Lowes are all out or boarding wood(s), there’s no bottled / jugged water left.

There’s going to be sanitation and disease issues, fresh water and food issues. Three days after the storm there will be an explosion of mosquitoes, Deer & Black flies.

It’s also been raining for days. Ground saturation was hit days ago. Even in Miami, a 5 hour drive away, we are completely saturated and have some flooding.

My childhood hometown will be a bloodbath.

I myself am south of Miami, in a mangrove waterway / swamp aboard my 29’ cruising sailboat hiding out in the same fucking spot I left just 7 fucking days ago storm dodging.

So any Conservative / GOP / Republican / MAGA or thier supporters and enablers can burn in fucking hell. I’m dedicating at least part of my life to never knowingly allow these people, companies, or their products into my life.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

How do you whiskey?

Is that glencairn from Jessie?

Yup! Colombia for Christmas, Bazil for Spring.

I live on a 29’ cruising sailboat and I’m in SFla and I moved into a mangrove swamp / waterway last night to ride out in, same one that I just left for the last storm a week ago.

It’s been 10 days since the last storm that we saw 45+ knt winds in, and for 5 out of the last 10 days, at least here, it’s been raining and everything is WAY over-saturated.

This storm is going to seriously fuck some shit up.
