Today in unemployed rural news: Why is there a truck outside?

It is time. Nothing last forever, and we both know hearts can change. And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November Rain. Later today, I will paying electric guitar atop the abandoned barn a few streets over while wearing a top hat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbU...

There are several people in my rural neighborhood who sell eggs. I have lived here almost a year. I HAVE NEVER SCORED ANY EGGS. Obviously, something is afoot. I suspect the neighborhood Chicken Ladies are involved in some sort of money laundering/illegal drug scheme using roadside egg stands.

*whispers* the Crazy Neighbor believes she is the only one who is allowed to plant any flowers so yesterday while she at work I planted dozens of tulips along the brickwork at the end of my deck she's gonna be so mad in the spring. Why yes I am unemployed and of Irish descent #flowerpower

I think this bag is fake. Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides. This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

Good Morning

I am waiting for news. As I wait, I am making bacon-cheddar corn muffins. Being unemployed is not good for the 100 lb weight loss. Thank you.

Good Morning. If you're all very good I may post of a picture of myself holding a grenade launcher on the deck of the USS Intrepid in honor of Election Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7CI...

This is what I was looking for. RIP, Sir.

Listen to me: I just revived a stale loaf of bread by running it under the tap and popping it in a hot oven for 10 minutes. The rosemary-parmesan bread is now crusty and flaky and warm, like the day it was baked. I feel like a Lazarus/Martha Stewart hybrid. I am drunk with power.

Love it. I used to take a cab or black car BTWN Queens and Brooklyn because there was no way to get there. Now let’s do Boston/Worcester. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/n...

I will now sterilize my kitchen and make muffins.

I went to Plum Island yesterday and although I am very careful to only collect empty shells I appear to be not careful enough. Harold and Horatio (pictured) lived all night on my deck.

just woke up—what inning is it now

I went to Oakland and god bless whoever Erica is

Maple Trees reflected in Newbury Ma. Had to hop the guardrail. Photo by me.

Past Deadline, West Newbury MA. I believe it’s the outskirts of Tendercrop Farm by the Cherry Hill Reservoir. A feast for birds and squirrels.

This week in unemployment AND vocabulary: I used the word "tremulous" in an interview.

Not once in this @nytimes.com article does it mention the Speaker of the House is from and represents Louisiana. That's important context when reporting on something on which Mike Johnson, has so much influence. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

Be otherwise advised there's a woman at the Hampton Tolls in NH wearing a tshirt emblazoned with chocolate chip cookies. "I'm a Tollhouse Cookie," she told me. #HappyHalloween

Be advised The House of Regal does not and will not offer the commoner Andrew anything.

Today I made roasted butternut and acorn squash and carrot soup from scratch. Please clap.

Welcome home, Melvin

I lured Melvin into the shotgun seat with a can of Polar

Went to the hardware store and met my old friend Melvin who seriously thinks he’s going to drive my cah

I hope those Louvre suspects are at least as fancy as the detective investigating them.

Good morning

One of my machine-gunners spoke Cambodian. One of my rifleman spoke Laotian and another spoke Cajun almost exclusively. No Marine I know gave AF because they all swore an Oath to our Nation that including "Up to and including my life." F*ck JD Vance and his prissy Yale Imperialistic view of America.
