Any hoo, I am not an expert. I know people that are. Water. Leave that thing alone.

I have very limited experience in these matters yet I am well versed in half and full face respirators with all manner of cartridges I still keep on hand and rotate when expired. Not SCBA as I let that cert lapse as a whole lot more work that I wanted.

Also, don't pick that thing up. Speaking as an environmental consultant, you don't know what that thing is, how hot it is, whether it has or should have exploded by now, or (as previously mentioned) WHAT IT IS. Leave it alone. Your role right now is to fuck off out of there.

Some say the beautiful arch will be 100% bigger. 200, 600, even 1,000% times bigger than this. Numbers no one has ever even heard of before.

On Wednesday, the president showcased models for a grand new monument to be added to the gateway of the National Mall: a large, neoclassical arch topped with eagles and a gilded, winged figure.

Every trip back to the colonies I always try and stop to get a servo pie straight out of the airport. They are unique. Yes, always blow on the pie.

No, but also they don’t make NZ service station meat pies. It is a very particular kind of perfection.

He’s shy around other people when it comes to pies. I suspect a Cookie Monster eating technique.

Just visited a church in Prague.

I was a little surprised to see that before he moved to Devil's End, a certain renegade was putting a shift in here.

A good mince & cheese would fix you. Always remember to blow on the pie. Safer communities together.

As an aside, Easy Cheese is something I expect to see drawn on a helmet from Vietnam.

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.

But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside.

Good night.

So, the Las Vegas Velley Book Festival is tomorrow at the 5th Street School which is directly across the road from the Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse which is where the No Kings rally will be held. Could be an exciting time in that area com lunchtime.

Another weirdly timed window due to travel to Seattle at the end of the month. BBotE order slots for the production window ending October 30th and, GOOD NEWS, got some fresh Steins of Science up too.

Also, the SMILINGMAN 10% off discount code ends on the 31st. Use it while you can.
