Okay. So the county banned the use of briquettes even in grills as part of the July 1 burn ban.
So we used lump wood in the kettle as we always do. *Technically* we were in compliance. Didn’t win a Revolution to be told by some pinko redcoat committee we can’t grill.
‘Merica!

@1BethDutton Sounds like it’s jumped McNeil Cyn. Lots of scrub out that way. It’ll really churn through the sage. Wind typically blows easterly and a little north up the canyon. Long as it stays that direction you should be okay.

[Jay Justus @plainmushdogs]

@1BethDutton Wait… you’re not the real Beth Dutton? How could we all have been so deluded? 🤣

[Jay Justus @plainmushdogs]

@1BethDutton Yes.
Everyone, including our fire district was thinking the July 1 ban was just worded bad, but LWFR confirmed with the Fire Marshal that the Committee’s intent was to ban all use of briquettes.
Y’all may need to raise bail money for me. 🤣

I’m 70 years old. My father was US Air Force. So was I. We’ve been fighting our nations wars for 60 years.

Mamdani immigrated here and became a legal US citizen in 2018.

How dare a communist Ugandan lecture ME on what it means to be an American! He has no clue and he’s destroying NYC. He’s trying to destroy America.

My pissed off meter just maxed. Circuit breakers are popping,

Eff off, @NYCMayor. You’re in way over your head “American.”

35 years ago today Terminator 2 premiered to the world. WOW!!!
Very grateful to Jim Cameron for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. To everyone who’s carried this film with you through the years and shared it with the next generation… thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

@fOx1257067 Still have this tapestry from the 80’s. Wife won’t let me hang it in the living room, though.
More’s the pity.

In Arizona, a girl named Lily handed me something thin, glowing, and extremely confident.

"A sparkler," she said. "Hold it like a sword."

I held it like a sword.

Lily squinted. "Less katana. More… fun."

So I held it like a katana again, but smaller, and with more wrist.

Her brother Caleb said, "He's doing the serious version."

Lily said, "There's no serious version."

Caleb was wrong. There is always a serious version. I am living in it.

Lily demonstrated a slow circle. I mirrored her with full bushido focus. The sparkler made a small gold loop in the dark backyard air, and three adults said "awww" like I had just learned to walk.

Lily upgraded my form. "Okay. Now try not to look like you're about to fight a dragon."

I tried.

Caleb dropped his immediately. Nobody shamed him. He got another one. That part I liked very much.

When the last sparkler burned out, Lily asked if I wanted s'mores.

I said yes before I understood what s'mores were.

That also felt very American.

Do all children teach adults on July 4th, or was Lily specially assigned to me?
