remember when Republicans wore fake body bags after Sandy Hook, Parkland, and Uvalde? I’m just kidding, they wore those adorable AR-15 pins!

Day 20,255
Oh, thank goodness! I swear, I can feel energy coming back into my body and all my extremities again. The air smells sweeter with a touch of ozone. There is a little less gravity pulling me to the earth. Rain is a magical thing, especially in the summertime.

Phew, keep to the shade and stay hydrated today! I just did a quick run to the post office and some other errands, and I feel like a walking pork roast. Speaking of which, the painted pig is done up like a bumblebee! No walkaround; I only caught a glimpse of him from the stop light. A cool shower is in order, so I will catch you later, dear journal.

Re: Metal Strip on the dash of Columbo’s peugeot I had always thought it was a defroster, but I was wrong. From : “Feb 25 at 6:41 AM SeattleCurmudgeon The wire fence is indeed an aftermarket device to keep stuff on the dash, Every cab in Paris had these things for decades until the mid- to late-80’s when dash designs changed. Probably not compatible with airbags unless you want to reinvent the guillotine.” http://bringatrailer.com/2013/02/24/parked-23-years-1959-peugeot-403/ #columbo #peugeot https://www.instagram.com/p/C9dmqmwzoKE/?igsh=NzBmcmowbmhyeW1k
19 year old Katey Sagal (Leela from futerama/peg from married with children) w/Peter Falk in the Columbo episode “Candidate For Crime”. Wonder how she got this part… Perhaps her father Boris Sagal, the episode’s director, put in a good word for her (1973) https://www.instagram.com/p/C9djb1lMJWX/?igsh=cGt2c293M3p6eXY0
On tv now, oddly timely. Some things don’t change, I guess. “In Candidate for Crime, Columbo becomes embroiled in political corruption when a candidate for the United States Senate stages the murder of his campaign manager as a case of mistaken identity.” https://columbo.fandom.com/wiki/Candidate_for_Crime https://www.instagram.com/p/C9dfCAsTwGF/?igsh=MWcxZWRuYWpjNm03cg==
Biggest WTF moment of reading Weird War Tales yet. Experimental child supersoldiers exploding like skin balloons after turning on their mind-controlling Nazi masters. I wish there was more Fred Carrillo stuff available to me. #comicscode #creaturecommandos #balloonbabies #axelwtf Weird War Tales #102 , August 1981 – THE CHILDREN’S CRUSADE WRITER J.M. DeMatteis PENCILER / INKER Fred Carrillo COLORIST Adrienne Roy LETTERER Esphidy Mahilum EDITOR Len Wein Several German parents were brought to a school, where their children beat them to death, much to their surprise. Then, they were personally congratulated by a man who appeared to be Hitler. Outside of the schoolhouse, “Colonel Kruger” (actually Lieutenant Shrieve), accompanied by the Creature Commandos, attacked Nazi soldiers guarding after their cover was blown when Griffith transformed. As their attack began, Shrieve thought about his time in a London war room twenty-fours earlier. Shrieve briefed the Creature Commandos on the Nazis injecting highly susceptible German schoolchildren with drugs that would give them superhuman strength. Then, he explained his plan to impersonate Colonel Emil Kruger, the mastermind of the plot, to inject German schoolchildren. “Hitler” watched his troops fight the Creature Commandos and flicked a switch that activated a trapdoor that took them to a gas chamber, where they were knocked unconscious. They were later taken to a camp, where they met “Hitler” (actually a double, as revealed by Shrieve), who told them that he had given the students an assignment to kill them. During the fight, Velcro scared one of the schoolchildren, Axel, freeing him of the Nazis’ control. Then, an angry Axel attacked the Hitler double for making him kill his mother, while the other schoolchildren subsequently revolted, as well. As the children beat up the Nazis, the chemicals from the drug that was injected into them caused them to inflate, destroying their bodies. Then, the Creature Commandos destroyed the camp before running away. @bronzeagemonsters

Day 20,250 Capybara!
The actual creatures are much more adorable than Speak, a friend of The Tick who was perhaps my first encounter with that sort of critter.
Now, these giant potatoes are some of my all-time favorite rodents, along with beavers, porcupines, and chipmunks. (Note: Skunks are not rodents. I just had to correct myself, but I love those too.)

Experiment – kit bash a soldier with his steed, color match the skin, and stuff in sand to have a prototype of Beta Ray Bill on Planet of the Apes. “You maniacs! You blew it up!”

Day 20,246
Summer has been roasty toasty. It was nice to get some frozen lemonade from @debs_lemonade yesterday to cut some of the heat! (Reminds me of the old days in SoFla when the Polar Cup truck would roll around. I do rather wish that there was a sugar-free version, but for me, that is a small issue with an otherwise lovely summertime snack.
