The ghost of Bob hath returned! Xmas miracle!

His stupidity, his damage to a sensitive environment, his cost. None of us should give a fuck about the cost any more than we should care about the cost an oil company incurs when they destroy a coastline.

Oh, that rig will. Alkaline dust will rust, rot, and degrade metal, rubber, and plastic before your eyes.

It’s the flattest, most empty place on Earth; There are no anchor points.

It’ll never come out. It’s alkaline silica dust that is nearly microscopic. It’ll rust anything in a moment and even gallons of vinegar won’t neutralize it.

There is and it’s because asshats like this. Having been going out there for 20 years myself, this is easily the worst damage I’ve seen by far. It’ll take many, many years for that scar and those ruts to disappear.

And it’s illegal for good reason:

I know, right?! It’s never been more popular and a lot of us Jalops lean on it for all kinds of interesting second-hand shit. Housing, pets, motorcycles, cars, tools, furniture; I’ve found it all.

As a sometimes seller, I’ve never understood why this is so much of an issue. You either say “don’t bother lowballing” in your ad or “no thanks” in the response. Done and done.

“When entering foggy highway conditions, apply accelerator.”

I like this concept. “Mental entropy” comes to mind...

Ah yes, I-5, the imbecile’s autobahn.

WTF?! This happened with my 6's auto braking “feature” and Mazda wouldn’t even look at it (or any of the other problems). Happened with steel road plates, near bushes, plastic bags in the road...  Got rid of that absolute piece of shit immediately after.

“Its a 1991 so should not explode in my face.”

The turbines are actually pretty fuckin’ rad machines! They’re near Palm Desert and huge. You’ll recognize them from a million movies.

J-Tree is absolutely otherworldly — Like Mars meets Dr. Seuss with weird trees. And weird people, as seen below... No, I wasn’t tripping. That randomly happened.

In the first grade, ~1979, I was told to throw out my gum, which I did on the playground blacktop and immediately got in trouble for.

Okay, I’m now glad you’re poor, miserable, and can’t buy things.

a) As a merciless calorie counter (the means to a thin middle-age!) I’m going to point out that the calorie difference between peas and green beans create more eye-rolls than extra pounds.

Wow, I’m making those, dammit. Cheers!
