About 3 1/2 hours. That has to be new a SJW record: "Beauty Bar would like to issue a formal statement of apology for the actions of one employee who has been suspended pending further investigation."
Oh good, it is hailing. I was wondering what that noise was. THWAP THWAP THWAP. Between me writing that first line and now (5 minutes), the hail picked up like a machine gun. I have never seen anything like this. The wind started whipping trees like a tornado. Holy crap. Ok, the sun is out. Fuckin' Florida weather.
Apology for what exactly? Hurting an adult's fake feelings? NEVER apologize to somebody who demands it.
I don't mean coast as in beach. I mean coast as in side of the country. I'm nowhere near a real beach here, either. I'm over the east coast for awhile, and I'm ready to see places I haven't seen and get the fuck away from the godawful state.
Spokane is a sorry ass excuse for a city. It hit it's zenith about 1935 and started to deteriorate. In 1974 they gussied it up for the World's Fair and I think that was probably the last time the place was actually relevant. Hell, even the baseball franchise deteriorated. In 1970 they had one of the greatest minor league teams ever as the Dodger's AAA team. By 1983 they had a Rookie ball franchise. BUT....you're in luck! Just a few miles to the east is north Idaho. Mainly Priest Lake and the mountains....it's gorgeous if you're into hiking, camping, swimming, etc... There's also my hometown of Sandpoint, but it got just a bit too resort-y and over populated with yuppies for my taste. Priest Lake is awesome though...and on the way up there check out The Falls. It's a little bar on the side of the road built over a waterfall. Priest Lake:
North Idaho is like an emerald jewel sandwiched between a bunch of brown scenery. And unfortunately it's been "Discovered." It's ridiculously expensive. Upper Priest Lake is one of the most pristine waterways in the country though. That picture was of Upper Priest, the Thoroughfare, and Lower Priest. It's fucking beautiful and well worth it if you ever get the chance to go and spend a summer in the area.
All week all I've been hearing is "Daddy, can we watch Star Wars?" "When do we get to watch Star Wars?" "I want to see princess Rey." Come tonight, about 20 minutes into Star Wars: "I'm going downstairs to play with my dolls, I don't want to watch this anymore." Fine. Don't bother daddy for another 2 hours. And find your own dinner you ungrateful spawn.
Listen. As long as I can find a good place to hike, good beer, good coffee, and a scarcity of humans, IDGAF about most of the rest of it. The DMV area has worn me out.
