[Surveillance] My wife picked up a cosmetic she’d never bought before at Walgreen and then replaced it on the shelf. When she was at the checkout register, it spit out a $7-off coupon for the product she handled but didn’t buy. It looks like Walgreens is using facial recognition software to identify her and products she showed interest in. Now, that’s very scary. |

[President Biden Drives Electric Hummer] Big hoopla on the new electric GM Hummers. Sticker price $110,000 and 350 mile range. Forget that, I’ll buy 5 Kias for $20,000 each. It’s funny watching President Biden hitting the gas pedal — 0 to 60 in 3 seconds! Video |
![]() [Rental Wanted] I’m looking for a small, furnished rental Dec-Jan-Feb-Mar-Ap-May for one person, 1 small dog, 1 fat cat, occasional visitor may stay over 5 days max. Top rent $2k can offer cash discount. Non-smoker, light drinker. |
[Friday Joke] I went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile; then yelled very loudly, ‘Hey! There’s no toilet paper in here.’ One of the clerks passed out. Link |

[Friday Joke] How do you rape a Key West Hooker? With a bogus credit card! |
![]() What is the difference between a Cornish hen and a Rock Cornish hen? A Cornish hen is a chicken variety which is a cross breed of White Rock and Cornish chickens. This small chicken is also known as Rock Cornish hen or Cornish game hen. Sometimes, it is called a poussin, a French word that refers to a young chicken that weighs not more than 1.5 pounds. |
[“Are you a veteran”] I followed the link to get a veteran’s ID card, but the card offered didn’t have anything to do with the government. It was some private people who made a website and are trying to make money from vets. I don’t want anything they offer. I’m looking for the free Veterans Administration and what they offer vets.

[Prostitution] My grand pappy says if they legalized prostitution all wars and crime would go away. My grand mama says, for $20 she’ll fix it now! |
![]() Any luck with over-the-air antennas in BP that will get local channels from the mainland. |
Most communication problems are simply translating from one language to another. Go to Google Translator and type in your favorite one liner joke. Then pick any language to translate to. No translation will come out with the same meaning or punch line.
Now type in some sort of serious statement as if you were speaking to the United Nations. Bet you could start World War 3 by a simple mistranslation. We’ve got to fix this. |

[Tiny House] A S.C. homeowner has converted this vintage 1978 Chris Craft into a tiny AirBnB rental. Does this count as a “Tiny Home”? |
[Rittenhouse Trial] If you arrive armed to a place where violence is happening, prepared for violence, and you engage in violence, there is no self-defense. You are in fact, a willing combatant. If you do this without being sanctioned by a government outside of a combat zone, you are also, in fact, a terrorist. We had another word for armed civilians operating outside the military as well: insurgent. If your recourse to the terrorist is to look up the criminal history of the victims, it is no different than looking up the criminal past of everyone that died on 9/11 in order to justify the hijackers. This kid was illegal all the way around, this s**t is ridiculous. |

[Overdoses Continue] CDC reports record high 12-month drug overdose death toll. More than 100,000 Americans have died of drug overdoses over a year-long period during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is the highest yearly death toll from drugs ever recorded in the US. Link |

[The Great Reset] Shocking glimpse into life after The Great Reset. We won’t be allowed to have possessions – we’ll have nowhere to keep them. We will not be allowed to wash clothes often, to save water. Since there will be a shortage of meat, we should eat bugs. Everyone will be monitored. The Great Reset means the elites gain more control over your life. Do the movies Omega Man, Soylent Green, THX1138 and Hunger Games come to mind? |
Howard Beale, I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!” When will we rise up (and wise up)? Video |

[Concealed] Ever wonder why Keys people don’t carry guns all the time? Because you’d look like an idiot in a Bikini or Olympic trunks with a .45 auto sticking out! |

[Kid shoots rioters] The post defending Rittenhouse failed to take into account that a child, and that’s what he was, went to a riot with an automatic weapon. Why would anyone bring an automatic weapon anywhere unless he wants to shoot someone? We have police. Children should not have automatic weapons. Just carrying a loaded automatic weapon in public by a kid should be enough to convict him. Tuesday’s poster falsely claimed that the kid only tried to wound those trying to take his gun away from him. That’s bs, he panicked and started shooting. Only Luck protected the wounded man from the kid’s murderous actions. Rittenhouse was not intent on killing him, but he was ready to. That’s why he brought the gun. If Rittenhouse had been intent on killing the State would have filed 1st degree murder charges against them. I think Tuesday’s poster has been watching FOX News a little too much. |

[Lost in the Fifties] Another time, another place. Who remembers the Gilbert Chemistry Set? Video |
Government websites always suck because they hire the cheapest engineers, minimum wagers and such. That’s why we’ll never have online voting, they’ll use the lousiest engineers who work for the govt to design it and their work can be hacked. For the best website you need engineers from the best: Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook. remember the Obamacare website? What a disaster. |

[“Realtor migration”] How tacky of Ms Sharpe trying to get business up in Florida where she moved. No Greeting, just ”we moved and are selling real estate in St. Augustine” If she had any class she would have thanked her friends in the Keys for a wonderful life and then say she’s going to continue to be in real estate up there |

[Friday Joke] High gas prices. Getting gas this morning, I noticed the person before me on pump 3 bought $10.00 worth. Where the hell were they going? To pump 4. |
