I was wondering how large Jeju island is. Google gives AI–created crud like this: Jeju Island is slightly larger than Maui, with Jeju's area being approximately 1,833.2 km²…and Maui's…about 1,903.7 km². Therefore, their areas are quite comparable, with Jeju being slightly smaller. What crap!

“What happened?” “The old story, Lieutenant. Guy is driving back from Bible study, sees a domestic disturbance. He stops, tells the guy to knock it off, hubby goes in and goes to sleep, the hero leaves, and then another driver rear ends him” “Yeah, if I had a dollar…” “Seriously.”

One wonders if RFK Jr. is some sort of undead, or revenant. Maybe it’s a zombie state spread by brain worms, and he’s destroying public health to aid their conquest of all mammalian life on Earth. There’s your Armageddon.

If Trump says he’s still alive, he’s probably dead. Which means he finally stopped lying except lying in peace. My head aches.

Doesn’t say at what point he became involved in the domestic violence, why he was on the scene, and if he had any connection to anyone else involved. Opportunism has a face.

Feeling stony lonesome without my sidekick. I haven’t been alone at home for years. Cats really do become the soul of a house. Talked to my sister on the phone. It was great. Feeling much more connected.

Did you or anybody expect anything else? Maybe a sanctimonious Bible passage out of context pointing out what he *should* be doing but never will. If he were Secretary of State in 1940, we’d all be speaking German.

Huge. They try to get through to us and have for years. My poor wife was “cancelled” from speaking about her trip to the West Bank after her first talk. It was supposed to be a series in different places, but nobody wanted to hear anything bad about Israel. This was two decades ago.

So while not every yard crew is Hispanic or immigrants, it is common enough to acknowledge. Where I grew up the yard crews were often Filipino, Chinese, or Japanese, and the tree trimmers were often Samoans or Tongans. Sometimes a crew would offer to trim our palms out front just for the coconuts.
Pauli Rocquettes (@paulierockets.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, I got that. I just think that there are so many yard crews and I was wondering why. It’s like Vietnamese ladies who do nails. One of the few programs that helped Vietnamese refugee women get job skills was that.

Not always, of course, but mowing lawns and trimming are not dependent on having to speak English. The equipment for a start-up business is not impossibly high. Lawn mower, truck, shovels, rakes, blowers. And it’s scalable. Another truck, mower, blower tools. Perfect for new residents.
