The rest of the year's weather? No. But THIS:

Sunrise In Sweden

I'm scared of some absolute imbecile of a Republican clearing out undocumented workers from America because we'll probably starve. And the World will miss our nuts. And oranges, grapes, almonds, pistachios, lemons, corn, and a bunch of other food that's grown for the World here.

It can happen, it already has in Britain

You could just abandon those pesky critters........oh,no who would do all the chores ,then.....?

Oh no, the light of my life, i love those kids to bits. They mean far to much to just abandon. Selling, maybe, but abandon... Never

Fantastic image......

I'm not a fan of flying myself. I prefer to drive - or even take the bus if it's not too far. America's domestic air service is pathetic. I've heard it's much better in the EU countries, where they have a passenger's bill of rights which has teeth in it.

I guess you've never flown Ryanair...

Livestock on the move are treated better.

If it keeps breaking there is something further upstream going on than what this mechanic is looking at.
I'd go to a different mechanic to trace the problem because electrical crap can be a massively tedious, major pain in the ***.

Yes, and this system does not have an ODblahblah connector. I might get a flash code of the stored error codes by connecting the test connector to ground, but I'm not sure. That feature is for GMs through 1989 and may not work on this. Plus its hot outside.

I will start looking around at mechanics.

OBDII.

So I found out that sometimes when things look dire when it comes to a piece of code, with many things breaking and compilers throwing errors, that sometimes the fix is as simple as a saved external script or two being moved, and the code breaking every time it tries to reference it, but the compiler and debugger not telling you why exactly.

Do they post 'Employee of the Month' where you work?.........there's always next month!

No, but we have Employee of the Day but that's randomly chosen, so I'm still in the running!

That's a perfect example of how to reward people. Not.

It's Kroger. There's not much reward for working there. Lol.

Hopefully it's not as bad as Bored Panda documents regularly because some of them are quite something. One example Supervisor Wants Employee To Pay $0.10 For An ‘Unauthorized Phone Call’, Gets What They Ask For But It Costs Them Much More

I watched the entire movie "Alice's Restaurant" yesterday. I've seen bits and pieces, but never the whole thing.... and after watching the movie, I can honestly say... I like the song a whole lot better. The only part of that movie I found worth lookin at was Tina Chen

But it is not enough to get me to watch it again

Those who lived through the Vietnam era with the sword-of-Damocles draft, the draft lottery and the rest understand Alice's Restaurant at the gut level and then some.

So we listened to the record, went to concerts where Arlo sang the original, heard the concert where he updated it a bit for people who did not live through it and watched the movie.

Compared to what is hitting the fan today, those were much simpler times.

Song is fine, I know what its about, but the movie...not so much

Movies often are not as good as the book. In this case, I do agree that the movie was not as good as the song.

This "No Cars Allowed" Sign In Sweden

I can't read the sign. It looks like it says something about a "genome fart" perhaps.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

That's a perfect example of how to reward people. Not.

What's this "reward" thing? Does it exist at work? Is it true that some bosses actually give enough of a **** to do such things?

No, but I've flown American and United, as well as some airlines which are now defunct (such as TWA, Eastern, Western, PSA). Some of my more memorable airline experiences were back when I was a kid and we flew on Allegheny Airlines. There was never a single trip on that airline where something didn't go wrong, whether it was cancelled flights, lost luggage, mechanical problems.
