The View From Maybelot
When this room was just a big hole in the ground I was pretty anxious about whether it would ever get done. But the end is in sight. The cabinets are in, we’ve started on the floor, then we’ll install all the trim and the painters will return to do a second color coat and paint the trim. Whew! IMG_0...

There is no bail in the military. But the requirement to hold a hearing within 48 hours of arrest is the same in the military as it is in the civilian sector (based on S Ct case, can’t recall the name — Morrissey v. Brewer, maybe? Can’t remember). After the hearing, the convening authority has to e...

That’s interesting. My husband has a truck that I (and all the sane members of my family) think is green, but my husband (and all the crazies) think is grey.

Bill_G, retired, affluence of effluent, and errata
In case anyone was wondering, our local Food Lion here in scenic Luray, Virginia (home to Luray Caverns and the birthplace of Bisquick), carries Tillamook ice cream, but I didn’t see any Tillamook cheese.

What's noteworthy in the charging documents. He's not being charged with attempted assassination of the former president. He's being charged with firearms violations https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25145942-routh-criminal-complaint I would presume they'd start that way until they can show p...

It was a suicide. The police got a call from someone in Rappahannock County (east of here) saying a to be on the lookout for a suicidal veteran with weapons. State trooper saw the car and attempted to pull him over. He led the trooper out n a high speed chase, then abruptly pulled over on the mounta...

About two hours ago I tried to go down the mountain into Luray to buy some wall anchors at the local farm co-op. I made it about a half mile and got stopped by a State Trooper. There was a silver Volvo on the side of the road with its driver door open, and eleventy-six cop cars, and another eleventy...

I don’t know. I think I consent to be photographed when I leave my house. I think a person’s right to privacy only extends so far. As I understand it, the Constitution only protects privacy interests relating to your identity when they are intrusive. So law enforcement can take your photo, fingerpri...

My tortie Banji wolfs down her food and then barfs it up partially digested. I got her a bowl that forces her to eat her kibble one at a time, so hopefully we can break that cycle. But it’s like a knife in my heart watching her struggle to eat. She hasn’t figured it out yet; she just drags the bowl ...

But no. She installed a secret Starlink system on a Navy ship (how she thought a wifi network named “Stinky” would go unnoticed is beyond me). THis is actually the easy part. You *can* set a WiFi network to not reveal its name, so that you have to type the name in manually to find it. My cell phone...

Separately, the Navy relieved Yokeley days later on May 19, 2023. The Navy has said his relief was unrelated to Marrero’s crimes. I'm curious about this now... People get relieved all the time for all sorts of reasons. The Navy says it’s unrelated, and it probably is. But relief for cause of anyone...

I'm very sympathetic to the idea pushed by Law of Self-Defense guy Andrew Branca -- it just doesn't matter where the live rounds came from for determining Baldwin's culpability. It shouldn't be a material issue. ... It doesn't matter. It is not up to a prosecutor to decide if and how evidence might...

No more flies in the kitchen. We keep a Folgers Coffee can on the counter, and when that’s full we run the composter. Takes about 8 hours. It uses an activated charcoal filter, and that loses its effectiveness over time. New filters are $$$ so we just replace the charcoal with aquarium filter charco...
