So… New fun fact:John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
 
Anyone else get a stomach bug lately. Son and I both got hit with 12 hours of vomiting and then another 2 or 3 days before return to normalcy.

Not lately, but a few years ago I got hit bad. Both ends. I’m sitting on the toilet and had a trash can in my hands. I threw up in the trash can. It was solid plastic. I remember looking at the can and thinking, “I’m glad thus isn’t a wicker basket because if it was I’d have vomit on my feet.”
 
I saw two red shoulder hawks mate today. Have never seen that before. Kind of impressive to do it 100 feet in the air on a branch.

Video or it didn't happen....

Actually, I'm just curious because I don't recall ever seeing a bird mate, even on video.

I wish!
So we're on about 7 acres of mainly woods. I was out chainsawing 2 down pines and had taken a break. I hear her basically screeching up a storm. She lands way up high not far from me. I yelled "oh hush. Are you a man or woman?" She flew about 100 yards to another tree still yelling and then I heard the male come. Lands up on the branch beside her and then did the hover bounce mating thing. Just like chickens if you have ever seen that.... Very fast. And then he flew off and suddenly another male comes flying from the other direction. She flew off by that time though.

Wish I knew where her nest was. She definitely lives close by because she's always here.
 
@sringwal and @donbosco will appreciate this.

Crazy thing just happened. I was driving back to my office from my house (in Charlotte), and to make a long story short, there was something that made me think about Guilford College’s (my alma mater) affiliation with the Society of Friends (Quakers), and how that is such a huge part of Guilford’s identity. Right as I’m thinking that, I see a guy waiting to cross East Boulevard wearing a Guilford College t-shirt. Apart from the times I was attending Guilford, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone other than myself or my wife (who wears my t-shirts) with a Guilford College shirt on. And it was so crazy I saw it at that moment when I was thinking about the school and its identity.
 
My life is a complete mess right now.

I'm sitting here, alone, at my mother's house on a Friday night.

So, I decide to watch a movie. Found a dystopian future state movie: 2073.

I'm three minutes into the movie and there's a shot of San Francisco. It starts out displaying the police state, the surveillance, you know, normal dystopian stuff.

Then there's this bright digital billboard on a building. Only there for a second, but it looked familiar, so I paused.

The billboard appears to be Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

Below the picture it reads: "BREAKING NEWS: Chairwoman Trump Celebrates 30th year in power".

The universe hates me. That and we have hired an amicable divorce attorney. Fucking lawyers are expensive. And this lawyer doesn't handle contested divorces, I would go bankrupt if we were arguing over the separation.

NOTE: I hope putting the period outside the quotation is correct, I'll have to go back and read that thread again.
 
So, it's gardening time. I have a bank that is prone to erosion so I've been investigating ground covers. I settled on Alleghany spurge. It's a native pachysandra that is not invasive and is actually endangered here in NC. Found a place carrying root systems pretty cheaply. They also had a couple of things I was looking for to fill a couple of niches in the garden. Had trouble getting through so took an alternate suggestion of sending a text. I did, told them I wanted 200 Alleghany spurge, 12 King Solomon's Seals and 12 Doll's-Eyes. Amazingly enough, I got a text back in an hour. He had literally just opened a new website and got it on line right after my message.

Of course I went there, signed in and opened an account. Imagine my surprise when the last item in the catalog was a package deal featuring 200 spurge, 12 Solomon's Seal and 12 Doll's-Eyes with free shipping over 50 bucks.
