“My wife and I went into town to do a little shopping. When we came out, there was a cop writing a parking ticket. We went up to him, and I said, ‘Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?’
“He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an ‘a–hole.’ He glared at me and started writing another ticket. My wife called him a ‘s–thead.’ He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing more tickets.
“This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. He finally finished, sneered at us and walked away.
“Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home. We always look for cars with a Joe Biden sticker. It’s so important at our age to have a little fun each day!”
The Monkey Pox Cat: This week it is National Public Radio ( NPR ). They are kind of a network of over 1,000 stations nationwide. Amigo won’t even let me turn them on. Elon Musk dislikes them almost as much as I dislike Democrats.
GK Per: Nova and Planetary Nebula Image Credit & Copyright: Deep Sky Collective
Explanation: The star system GK Per is known to be associated with only two of the three nebulas pictured. At 1500 light years distant, Nova Persei 1901 (GK Persei) was the second closest nova yet recorded. At the very center is a white dwarf star, the surviving core of a former Sun-like star. It is surrounded by the circular Firework nebula, gas that was ejected by a thermonuclear explosion on the white dwarf’s surface — a nova — as recorded in 1901. The red glowing gas surrounding the Firework nebula is the atmosphere that used to surround the central star. This gas was expelled before the nova and appears as a diffuse planetary nebula. The faint gray gas running across is interstellar cirrus that seems to be just passing through coincidently. In 1901, GK Per’s nova became brighter than Betelgeuse. Similarly, star system T CrB is expected to erupt in a nova later this year, but we don’t know exactly when nor how bright it will become.
After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor!
Here are some actual logged maintenance complaints and problems as submitted by pilots and the solution recorded by maintenance engineers.
(P = the problem logged by the pilot.) (S = the solution and action taken by the engineers.) * P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. * P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. * P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. * P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order. * P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground. * P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed. * P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level. * P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That’s what they’re there for. * P: IFF inoperative. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode. * P: Suspected crack in windshield. S: Suspect you’re right. * P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search. * P: Aircraft handles funny. S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious. * P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics. * P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed.
Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church’s morals, kept sticking her nose into other people’s business. Several members did not approve of her extracurricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town’s only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told George (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn’t explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing.
Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred’s house… walked home… and left it there all night.
The I Thought Editor: What is your article about, LL ?
The They Said Cat: First is my disclaimer, I don’t take any communication of any kind seriously if it has Latinx in it. Here is a great article condemning White people for taking land from Blacks to build some new things. It is full of lies, 75 percent of the people relocated were as White as Joe Biden.
The Left-Democrats are obsessed with race, sexual orientation, and everything against White people. It is all they talk or write about. FJB and the left.
Things are so bad in dem land that Katie Couric is speaking about America. I’m not listing her drivel.
