Two cops shot during the fireworks near me.

I’ve been spending the last few days with the family in IL.
I missed these summer evenings.

The large explosions started before dark, the rockets where you feel the concussion of the launch, then the rocket itself explodes. These are so loud it rattles the house and it's even scaring the cat. Mrs John is having anxiety but the peacock is freaking out the worst.
I think another hour and it will be really ridiculous.

Reading the installation instructions for the new weed eater head. It says to soak the lines in water for 12-24 hours prior to use, to improve their effective lifespan. Anybody ever heard of that?
Edit: true to form, the first place I called told me this model has been discontinued, along with its parts. But he would be happy to sell me a newer model for $400. The part I bought turns out to be universal, across all models. Guess who won't see any future business from me.

if so - a little salt should also be added

I'm running the sprinklers in case some errant neighborhood firework winds up on one of the lawns. I wish we had sprinklers on the roof.

I mean, I DO, but not because of the firebugs.

Our dear departed Golden, Rhyo, didn't mind fireworks, but our Eskie, Kyoko, would hide under the bed shivering. Zeena the Greyhound used to get angry about them, and would come out to the Living Room, "Rowr,rowr,rowr"-ing at them.
Rango sleeps through them. Dory is a little anxious about the really loud ones, but mostly takes them in her stride.

There's a little fire on Mt. Washington in Los Angeles, hope they can contain it.

From the board rules and guidelines which no one seems to read:
“In addition, the "masking" of vulgarity by inserting * or another keystroke in place of one or more letters in a vulgar term is unacceptable in most cases. It will also be impermissible to anagramize a word to bypass the filters.”
Just thought that I’d remind people.

As to your question, they might be able to... Many forums store post edit histories - this one may have that functionality without it being visible to members. This forum does have an auto save function for reply drafts, too...
Then again, as soon as you hit "preview," any offending words are completely replaced by the asterisks, so I guess it could go either way.

See, I was under the impression that triggering the censor was fine but that circumventing it was verboten.

Also wondering if you quote the classic song from Brittney Spears, "If You Seek Amy" is that an offense? Of course the song itself is an offense, but you know. Inquiring minds are going to ask.

Friend called for a 58 mile ride today with some steep climbing. Should be "interesting". At least the weather seems nice.

Even if it's not an offense.

I know. It's actually a great ride. Mostly light traffic and the steepest climbing is on a narrow road which connects 2 canyons and is barely wide enough for 1 car in spots. Sometimes there are no cars but once in a while there could be one. After that there is a long, steep descent which I don't really like much, but at least I don't have to climb it.
