We have had some rain the last day or so. This can make things gloomy but it can also mean that we can have cool sunsets. Last night I sent up the drone to see how it was going to turn out. I was not disappointed.

The weather has been consistently crappy the last month and a half. We've only had one stretch of snow which was the week or so before Christmas. The rest of the time, it's been dreary rain.

It brought to mind this song:

If this is true, this ingnorant git has no idea what is meant by immaculate conception. It's has zero to do with whether or not Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus.


Immaculate Conception is the belief that the Virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception

That's my understanding. As the larger chunks start falling down, they're sinking right into the looser sand and pushing it up.

I'm pretty sure the larger chunks falling down are just peanuts compared to the much larger and very slowly slumping mass of cliff which is what pushes up the dark sand at the end.

When Kid was in middle school he had a summer job doing clerical stuff at my office.  When it was time for his first paycheck, the owner called him into the conference room and had a little ceremony for presenting the check and telling Kid how glad he was was Kid came to work here, and now that he was a working person he was going to be participating in contributing taxes to support the things that help our society function, etc. etc. etc.  Then he handed Kid the check and it was for $1.89 or something like that, with taxes taken out for fed, state, WC, Medicare, Social Security, part-time employee tax, under 18 tax, this tax, that tax, all these other taxes...  Kid looked at it, then looked up...said "Um...thanks."

Then we all had a good laugh and he gave Kid his real paycheck.  Kid kept the other one, though, and cashed it.
