I recognize that sometimes I’m not the best at reaching out or staying in contact BUT whenever you need me, this is the type of friend I am. No questions asked

At a county fairground in Indiana I watched twenty cars deliberately crash into each other in a pit of mud until only one was still moving.

This is a sport. There is an entry fee. There are trophies. Families bring lawn chairs.

The rule is that you must hit someone every sixty seconds. If you do not hit someone, you are disqualified for cowardice. That is the actual reason. There is a rule against not crashing.

The cars are painted with numbers and names and messages. One said IN MEMORY OF GRANDPA. It was driven backwards into another car at full speed within the first minute.

I asked a man in the pit crew why they drive backwards.

He said, "Protects the engine."

The strategy is to destroy your car with the part of it that is least important, which is the entire back half, which contains nothing, which is why it is aimed at everything.

I asked how long it takes to prepare a car.

"Two, three months."

Two to three months of work. To be destroyed in eleven minutes. In front of your family. On purpose.

I asked what happens to the winner's car.

"Same as the rest."

The winner's car is also destroyed. The winner is simply the car that is destroyed last. There is no surviving. There is only the order.

A woman near me was cheering for car 44. I asked if it was her husband.

She said, "My daughter."

Car 44 was driven by a nineteen-year-old woman who reversed into a station wagon so hard that both hoods opened simultaneously, like two books.

Car 44 lost.

Car 44's engine caught fire and a man in a fire suit walked over calmly and put it out and then gave her a thumbs up while she climbed out.

She was laughing. She was laughing so hard she could not stand up straight.

Her mother said, "She'll build another one."

Of course she will.

I asked the mother what her daughter does for a living.

She said, "She's a nurse."

Somewhere in Indiana there is a nurse who spends her winters rebuilding a car specifically so she can destroy it in front of her mother in a mud pit in August.

I have no framework for this.

I have decided I do not need one.

She is going again in June.

So am I.

@AgentScully64 @genericperson0 It’s not always the same property and sometimes they just have a ring camera? You just crafted a theoretical situation in your head and it became your reality?

I mentioned that my garage door was making a sound.

An American immediately said, "I got a guy."

He did not ask what the sound was. He did not ask what kind of door. He produced a guy on the basis of the word garage.

I asked who the guy was.

He said, "Just a guy."

He did not have a company name. He had a first name and a phone number in his phone saved as "Mike Garage."

That is the contact name. Mike Garage. As though Garage is his surname. As though there is a family.

I asked how he found this guy.

"My brother-in-law used him."

I asked if the brother-in-law was satisfied.

He thought about it. Then he said, "He's still standing."

The house is still standing. That is the entire review.

Inside I said: THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS. THEY KEEP LOYALTIES.

I called Mike Garage. He answered from inside a vehicle. There was wind. He said he could come Tuesday between eleven and four.

Between eleven and four. A window of five hours. In my country this would be a scandal. Here it is generous. He gave me a window at all. Some guys do not give you a window. Some guys say "Tuesday" and that is the whole appointment.

He came at 1:40.

He fixed it in twenty minutes. He charged me less than I expected and he did not take a card, only cash or an app I had never heard of.

Before leaving he looked at my water heater, which I had not mentioned, and said, "That's gonna go."

I asked when.

"Couple years."

I asked what I should do.

He said, "I'll give you a guy."

He gave me a guy. Mike Garage has a guy. The guy has a guy. There is a network beneath this country made entirely of men named after their function, and none of them advertise, and all of them are busy.

Inside I said: THERE IS A SECOND NATION HERE. IT HAS NO SIGNS. IT IS ENTERED ONLY BY INTRODUCTION.

I have been given four guys since.

I have a guy for trees.

I did not know I needed a guy for trees.

I have trees now, apparently. They are my responsibility. A man named Rick told me so and then left.

To me, its not even about Mitch McConnell anymore.

We have a real problem when a Senator can just disappear for six weeks with only the vaguest of explanations & the whole institution just kinda shrugs it off.

Every other job in America would fire you for this.

@HalfwayPost The mockery should continue until morale improves

[tierney driscoll @tidrisc]

@sunkissed1221 @AndyBeshearKY you’re such a coward!!

[Amber W @sunkissed1221]

This week we will learn that Mitch McConnell is dead.

He will have miraculously lived just long enough to ensure Thomas Massie can’t run in a special election.

The riveting first hand account of Colorado Parks and Wildlife and U.S. Forest Service employees risking the Gold Mountain Fire to hike into Nate Creek and catch native, endemic Uncompahgre cutthroat and hike them out to safety away from the fire.

Uncompahgre cutthroat are incredible, genetically distinct, native fish to the headwaters of the Colorado and Gunnison Basins. If these fish had disappeared in this fire, there would be no way to replace them. This type of fish, in conservation, is known as the Nate Creek “halotype” which means they have a unique genetic fingerprint found only in the Uncompahgre cutthroat.

Electrofishing is nonlethal fish stunning device that CPW hiked into the burn zone in heavy backpacks, escorted by forest service firefighters. Trout float to the top, recover in seconds, but are easily removed brought back down to the safety of the hatchery. All in all they netted around 100 Uncompahgre cutthroats, carrying them down in 5 gallon buckets (down a steep incline in the middle of a burn zone). When conditions improve, they’ll be hiked back in. Huge thanks to CPW and the Forest Service for protecting the Uncompahgre cutthroat.

Hey MAGA, manufacturing did NOT come back to America. YOU paid the tariffs. The BILLIONAIRES got the refunds. Starting to get it, you stupid fucks?

@MayoSam37447919 @mattvanswol Yea and it’s not the representatives in Washington siding with policies that destroy the environment…..

[tierney driscoll @tidrisc]

@bloodanya Yes omg also why is it only being a method actor when your character is an asshole? And people will be like “because it’s harder to play an evil person” but some of these people are not that nice normally so I would think like playing a Ted lasso type guy would be harder for them
