Drones have showed up here now. Very odd.
As citizens and lawmakers call for answers about mysterious drones seen flying for weeks over New Jersey and elsewhere, a Cape Cod police officer reported witnessing a similar case in Harwich, Massachusetts.
A resident of the town called the Harwich Police Department Thursday, telling the authorities she saw between 10 and 15 drones flying overhead around 9 p.m. She said they were there for over an hour.
The woman said she couldn't hear the drones, but noted that they were very bright.
Police said an off-duty officer with the department "noticed similar drone activity near the Public Safety Complex on Sisson Road."

Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

Was going to our local Ingles grocery store this morning but to much ice, I'll try at 7 when they open tomorrow. The store reopened yesterday after being closed since Sept 25th when Helene hit. There is a small branch maybe 3 or 4ft across and normally 8 inches deep that runs behind the store. Helene caused it to come out of it's banks and crest at about 5ft. The stream flooded the store with about 3 ft of water and mud and took out all the refrigeration. Seems like we have our store back and no more one hour drives to get provisions.

I put on my winter coat for the first time since last winter, and felt something odd in the inside lapel pocket. I reached in, and found my nightstand flashlight (FLASH, not FLESH, Pete!) which has been missing since last winter. I both love it and hate it when that happens.

The storm damaged grocery store is all bright and shiny. Lots of new stuff but the prices are up by 10% now.

Painted for three hours. Chainsawed and split all the remaining firewood. That took three hours. Up the extension ladder and hand cleaned the back gutter on my studio. Up on the roof of the house with the leaf blower and cleaned and scraped out all the gutters. Up an eight ft step ladder and used gutter screws to take the sag out of the gutters on two porches and the garden shed. Back up at my studio and opened the windows and hit the exhaust fans, and cranked up the air compressor. Did a good cleaning with an air gun. All the dust and stale cigar smoke out through the fans. Built a fire in my woodstove but did not light it just got it ready to light for the next cold morning. Got some picture frames and canvases ready to paint. Believe I'll set a spell.

I think the filling that I had put in a few months ago, which promptly broke and jammed very painfully into my gums, which I then had repaired, has broken again.

Stop opening beer bottles with your teeth, Todd, or at least get the proper implant
Ad agency Ogilvy Argentina have created a video, which is real for Salta beer that collects a group of rugby players who have lost a tooth “in battle” on the field and have them fitted with specially designed tooth to open beer with.4 -
Getting a ductless heat pump installed. My wife has dragged me, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century.

The dental assistant I talked to today asked my how I broke it. I said "HTF do I know, I just eat normal stuff." If they give me any grief about it breaking twice, I'm gonna blow a gasket.

This drone just flew over my house. If you blow it up it appears to have a missile attached 🫣
