How are the defense contractors, and politicians going to get PAID if we aren’t constantly at war somewhere.

Extreme Relaxation represents a unique experience for individuals to determine their relaxation skills in the face of adversities and stressors. Each player in the Extreme Relaxing Championships is equipped with a HR monitor given time to establish a relaxed baseline. During the competition, individuals will be asked to relax while being presented with a series of distractions, the individual with the smallest amount to change from their relaxed baseline will be deemed the winner.

Not exactly what I was expecting, but interesting.

Oh, don’t worry, we will have plenty of wildfires, once the plants from this rain all die. Our next fire season is going to be VERY very bad here in San Diego. We’ve had a very wet winter/year and now this.

Any relation to jack kevorkian? (I know it’s spelled different. I’m trying to be funny)

I already had fears of this happening to me. Yep. I don’t know if I should have read this. I just had 5 or 6 of those adorable little assholes come running at me, snarling and snorting and growling at me last week.

I’m sorry this happened to you. Hope you feel better, and so happy you and your dog are mostly ok.

Agreed. I’m impressed that they are doing anything. Americans by and large just shrug their shoulders, offer “thoughts and prayers” and move on. Guess that’s why we are where we are with guns/gun violence.
