Oh this is delightful. I mean come on, when I started reading the article I said to myself this has to be a 4th Amendment violation. Sure enough.

Go read it here. The link was on Facebook from the ACLU – non-existent deity bless them. They don’t get thanked enough for their protecting us from constitutional abuses.

One thing – now it’s completely voluntary. I’m waiting for TSA to get their asses handed to them too because the searches and shit, that’s unconstitutional too. I mean come on what part of the 4th did the assholes at TSA not understand. And besides, there are better ways to protect flights. Despite the wishes of the Petulant Man Child in Chief aka the President. I don’t even want to invoke that assholes name.

I commented on the FB post that I’d like to go through and just throw them the finger/bird/.whatever and then comment “In Trappist circles that is known as I am the one in charge. ” I mean it is voluntary right? Because in my book respect goes two ways.

So I did my first week. Just getting to know everyone right now. One of the guys is named Turner and he and I have great discussions on various topics.

Of course not a full week but Monday through Wednesday. Have today and tomorrow off.

Finally registered in the security system on Wednesday – hallelujah. Now just waiting for my own laptop.

So as you may be aware we no longer reside in the northeast. Instead we’re now in the southeast, Atlanta area to be specific.

Now transit systems – I do like MARTA. The buses and subways are clean as all hell. It amazes me then that the shithole that is the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority aka RIPTA can’t get it right. Even the trains – they don’t grind into stations like those on the MBTA.

Plus the bus drivers I get a strong they don’t give a shit read. It’s quite amazing.

So today we were having a long discussion with a certain Ambassador and a certain fact emerged. Said Ambassador said he was sometimes known as a know it all.

And I deployed “You know the old saw, those who think they know it all are very annoying to those of us who do.”

It was funny as all hell.

So I’ve experience weather in a few places, like Rhode Island, Massachusetts and even places like Maine, New Hampshire, Florida etc.

We’ve been in the Atlanta area for six months now. And I will say it will be sunny and warm and then suddenly the sky will open up and dump torrential rain on you before dissipating and drying out a few hours later. This seems to be a common thing between Georgia and Florida. Just that say Atlanta has drainage infrastructure so it’s not too bad.

Today’s weather – it was sunny and about 85F and then around 3PM the sky darkened and a torrential rain fell upon the ground. Now at 7:30PM (That’s 19:30 hours for we 24 hour types) the ground and everything are mostly dried out. Nice!

So apparently there’s a rule here where we cannot cuss out another party. But here’s the thing, when I cuss at something it is almost never another person, but a group, policy or what have you.

With that in mind I was thinking of curses I know in other languages. Such as in Italian and Spanish. Va Funcuolo (Go fuck yourself) Capo di Merde (Shithead in Italian) Cabeza de merde (Same thing in Spanish) But one Spanish curse that tickles me is apparently there’s a rule here where we cannot cuss out another party.

And the weather in beautiful Atlanta – torrential downpour right now. No wonder it’s all green and blooming flowers on trees.
