Saturday Open Thread - 8/8/26: Odds and Ends

Good morning, good people! I hope you are all in fine fettle this hot Saturday morning!
Well, I wrote last Saturday about my faux paus in wearing a full frontal nudity tee shirt to work. Da Vinci, doncha know! Thank goodness, no children were harmed. To atone, this work week I wore what young folks call frumpy, and what we oldsters call slouchy and comfy. Outdoor clothing for fishing and hiking, and safaris. Clothes that have sunscreen and mosquito repellent infused into the fabric to help you to get back home without malaria or worse, and not scaring off lions and cheetas because of their color.

Anyone think that sudden migrant influx to Cuenta was organic?

Decades ago, the father of a school mate told me that he had never known anyone who could express so many things with the word, "shit".
Well, it caught on.
This is an open thread, friends.
Go for it!

Good morning, good people!
This OT is absolutely Odds and Ends. Classic template to give you the green light to drop any and all posts about any and all thins you wish to share with your friends here.
FWIW, we have enough food for a year. You just never know what is going to happen with the food supply. 3 or 4 more items, we will just shop for the groceries for the week. Or, eat our stock if the stores shut down.
Meanwhile, TACOS!
Ok, friends. Your turn!

Good morning...
Having plenty of food is reassuring. I just got back from the grocery myself. This is the weekend of the big yard sale...the world's longest. You know buy someone else's junk and make it your own.
So at any rate trade day was thin, everyone was set up on the mountain. My buddy's usually make good money. Much of what they buy at trade day is purchased in order to sell on the big yard sale. Usually it is hot as hell, but it was a pleasant 67F this AM.
Hope all is well, and everyone has a good weekend. Thanks for the OT!

Hey, good morning
.
speaking of foodstuffs, have you seen the kerfuffle about
trumpet's 'affordability' drive and $20 burritos? Kinda a joke
I think. My burritos cost about $3 all up to make.

Another thing came up regarding Cuba. China gifted 5000 solar systems to help
with their electrical needs. Meanwhile there are 400 containers awaiting delivery
being blockaded by US. Even as US puts more sanctions on the country.

Getting back to foodstuffs - trumpet is sanctioning avocados produced in Mexico.
WTF? I like avocados with my burritos.
