  1. There is a Santa Anna joke in here somewhere…

    Comment by Meow Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 6:09 am

  2. There it is

    I paid 30,000 units for it, now I’m heading to Knowhere to sell my orb for 4 billion units to The Broker.

    Hopefully it all works out.

  3. Just looking for a leg up, is that so bad?

    Comment by PublicServant Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 6:42 am

  4. Well. I’m stumped

    Comment by DocNoyes Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 7:18 am

  5. Leg day.

  6. “It was at that point that Jack pondered his next steps. Turn north, and return home to the bustle of civilization from which he came. Turn South and venture out on to rhe open road, and the clear unknown future which it held. Or maybe a third option, to stay, to find a new love in the rural roads of the Macon County line.”

  7. SOS has finally retired the “Cyberdrive Illinois” moniker for their website. For the first time since probably about 2000 or earlier (since cyberdrive seems so Y2Kish).

    https://www.ilsos.gov/home.html

    However, they’ll have to update their latest appointment system promo ad as it still has CyberdriveIllinois on it. Which we discussed on here last Wednesday:

  8. Might make a great stocking stuffer for someone come Christmas.

    Comment by Blue Dog Tuesday, Aug 31, 21 @ 8:19 am

  9. The weather’s been rough
    I think I’ve had enough
    The farm is taking its toll
    Each day I feel it’s a little unreal
    It feels like it’s time to roll

    When I got hurt in the field
    I refused to yield
    Keeping the beat of my day
    But what I need is fun, think I’ll go on the run
    I’ll see you when I feel ok

    If you see my leg, it’s my calling card
    It means I was out your way
    Don’t worry, it’s fine, happens all the time
    I’ll see you when I’m feeling ok

    Now my leg and me, you’d think we’d be wed
    It seems to find its own adventure so it’s been said
    When we finally unite it’s like an old friend
    Then I know I’m ok

    If you see my leg, it’s my calling card
    It means I was out your way
    Don’t worry, it’s fine, happens all the time
    I’ll see you when I’m feeling ok
