Smokin Christmas meat
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. . . I can hear ol Nat now. . . roasted stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. . . just like Norman Rockwell used to paint. . . fuck that nonsense.
By the end of the day, we had 30lbs of ribs and 25 lbs of chicken smoked to perfection and tender goodness.

You go eat all that proper New England winter food all you want. I hope you enjoy every well cooked bite, but we need a little up lifting summertime goodness this time of the year!
So stop by and grab ya some ribs and chicken.

Teach your children
No matter who you are, where you are or what you are. . . .
Make sure your children know how much you love them.
Know where your children are every moment of everyday (as much as possible).
Teach your children well. Be the greatest teacher they will ever have.
Be involved in their lives as much as you possibly can.
And today, let me say this; when they get their driver's license, teach them to drive as thoroughly as possible. If they aren't good drivers, make them keep learning with YOU in the car until they are.
Life is very fragile. Cars are very dangerous. More people die in cars than any other single source yet we throw our children the keys and say, "go on."
Our world can be completely altered and totally fucked up in an instant.
No, it didn't happen to me.

Dueling torture chambers
Torture chamber found in Iraq
AP -
BAGHDAD - Blood-splotches on walls, chains hanging from a ceiling and swords on the killing floor — the artifacts left a disturbing tale of brutalities inside a suspected al-Qaida in Iraq torture chamber. But there was yet another chilling fact outside the dirt-floor dungeon. Villagers say they knew about the torment but were too intimidated by extremists to tell authorities until now.
Your torture chamber is worse than my torture chamber. . . but we've got videos of our torture chamber. . . well, had, until the CIA got hold of them and did the corpo-fascist administration's dirty work.
Another illegal and treasonous act by this administration that will go unpunished.
Man, if Clinton had dome one of the many things these guys did he'd have been hanged.
The democrats stay on their knees taking it in the face while being slapped upside the head.
Here's a good one:
American commanders say they are a long way from declaring victory in Diyala.
The weapons caches found during the Muqdadiyah raids included a surface-to-air missile launcher, sniper rifles, and 130 pounds of homemade explosives, Hertling said.
"You know, there's going to be continued spectacular attacks," he said. "Are we confident we can protect it? As soon as I say, 'Yeah, we're confident,' it's going to blow tomorrow."
WTF? "a surface-to-air missile launcher, sniper rifles, and 130 pounds of homemade explosives"
Wow what a threat to our military that has ten of thousands of missle launchers, millions of pounds of explosives and thousands of rifles that make the insurgent's "sniper rifles" look like bb guns (look out, they'll put your eye out!).
And the proles will read this and say "oh my" we really have a problem over there in EyeRaq.
On your knees.

Religious zealot whack jobs. . .
Non-believing US voters feel demonized
by Roland Lloyd Parry
WASHINGTON (AFP) - One presidential hopeful is a preacher, another proudly Mormon, and most openly tout their Christianity. In an arena where faith can make or break a politician, the one in 10 Americans who profess no religion feel left in the cold.
"They're very disconcerted," said Darren Sherkat, an atheist sociology professor specializing in religion at Southern Illinois University.
"They're horrified by both the Democratic and Republican rhetoric surrounding religion -- that people who are not religious ... are immoral, that they're not qualified to serve in public office," he said.
I don't feel demonized. I feel disgusted that these people who are supposed to be the creme de la creme of our political system are actually a bunch of professed morons who believe in mythology and fairy tale as reality. It really is absurd in this day and age of science, technology and global communications. THEY are the idiots.

Senate OKs $70B for Iraq, Afghanistan
By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer 14 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Senate voted Tuesday to provide $70 billion for U.S. military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, handing a victory to President Bush and his GOP allies on Capitol Hill.
The 70-25 roll call paved the way for the Senate to pass a $555 billion omnibus appropriations bill combining the war funding with the budgets for 14 Cabinet agencies.
Just when I was about to publish a post about how with only a 1 member majority the senate had little power to enact a liberal agenda, especially when that one member was a traitorous piece of shit named Leiberman, they go and overwhelmingly pass this unbelieveable piece of pork and republican give-away. Fuch these scum sucking mother fuckers. I am so sick of American whore politicians with no backbone I sometimes think it's time for an active revolt against our government. How is it that they can pander to a treasonous piece of shit president who has a popularity rating of 20%?

Jack booted thugs carrying out a fascist agenda
Botched raid terrorizes Minn. family
By GREGG AAMOT and STEVE KARNOWSKI, Associated Press Writers
MINNEAPOLIS - With her six kids and husband tucked into bed, Yee Moua was watching TV in her living room just after midnight when she heard voices — faint at first, then louder. Then came the sound of a window shattering.
Moua bolted upstairs, where her husband, Vang Khang, grabbed his shotgun from a closet, knelt and fired a warning shot through his doorway as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He let loose with two more blasts. Twenty-two bullets were fired back at him, by the family's count.
Then things suddenly became clear.
"It's the police! Police!" his sons yelled.
Khang, a Hmong immigrant with shaky command of English, set down his gun, raised his hands and was soon on the ground, an officer's boot on his neck.
The gunmen, it turned out, were members of a police SWAT team that had raided the wrong address because of bad information from an informant — a mistake that some critics say happens all too frequently around the country and gets innocent people killed.
"I have six kids, and only one mistake almost took my kids' life," said Moua, 29. "We will never forget this."
When cops become gestapo pieces of shit. . . the sad part of this is, that the only problem most people see is the case of mistaken identity. Oh gee, we meant ot break down the door of and terrorize someone else.
This is not civil behavior. This is nothing short of terrorist behavior. Yes, our police and the people who command them are nothing short of terrorists when they perpetrate bullshit like this.
So next time you thiink that realing in the police is protecting criminals, and that the Constitution of the United States doesn't really need to protect law biding citizens, think again. "Khang,. . . raised his hands and was soon on the ground, an officer's boot on his neck."

Some art for the blog
My Canadian friend Blair Debassige sent me some pictures of a few new works he has done. He said I could post them. I think he liked what some of you had to say about his art.
Every time I see his new stuff or anything I haven't seen before it buzzes me. I know a number of fairly accomplished artists, but they all pretty much don't do much for my aesthetic mind. I need to get back up to the island and see what he's got for sale.
Blair's art is all about his people the Anishinabe (Ojibway). He paints about their stories and their language which are deeply intertwined with each other.
I think some of Blair's best and most moving works are triptychs. I have one that is incredible (pictured in another post). The one above it pretty cool too.
The Ojibway have passed their stories and language down through the generations for thousands of years. Blair and the other artists of the Woodlands school continue this process through their art. These guys are true artists who have their heart and soul in their work.
Here is a work by the grandfather-founder of the Woodlands school, the recently departed Norval Morriseau - Copper Thunderbird.

Time to get behind a candidate!
OK, I'm going to come on out and tell the world who I think will make the best president for the next eight years, what I believe is the ideal democrat ticket and how I'd like to see the office of president evolve for the next decade or so.
I love the fact that I've lived long enough to see the election cycle when two viable candidates are a woman and an African-American. I think either candidate is capable of leading the nation. Ms. Clinton has the experience and the capabilities to be president. Mr. Obama is a leader and up and coming statesman. I could vote for either of these candidates. . . but I won't.
I have real concerns for this country. We are involved in war we have absolutely no business being involved in and it's time to remove ourselves from those conflicts. There can be no compromise on that issue. Our troops HAVE to be brought home from Iraq and Afghanistan now. There is only one candidate who uncompromisingly stands by a policy of immediate withdrawl.
We have serious domestic problems that are quickly becoming crisis. There is only one candidate that is addressing the issues of the dwindling middle class and the working poor and poverty in America. Corporate America has taken over our government. They are destroying our constitution and pillaging our national resources. There is only one candidate who is talking about this and recognizing it for the cancer on our society that it is.
So as you might have already guessed, John Edwards is my choice for democratic candidate. I believe he is ready to change the face of our country and I believe that is the only thing that will save us from destruction.
If Mr. Edwards is smart, he will pick as his running mate someone who will be ready and capable of taking the reins of power when his time is done in eight years. That seems like a no-brainer for me. Barrack Obama is that person. Obama is a great candidate today, imagine what a great candidate he will be with eight years of experience as vice president. I believe an Edwards-Obama ticket will give the democrats the White House for the next 16 years. More importantly, it will put two individuals in the office of President who will change the direction of the country and put us on a strong footing for the next century.
In a recent national Newsweek poll, the only candidate that decisively beat every republican candidate was John Edwards. Clinton loses to McCain as does Obama. Edwards is THE most electable democrat candidate. He far outpaced every democrat against ever republican.
So yea, I'd like to see a woman or a black person become president. If they do I won't have any problem with it and I'll support their presidential quest with lots of involvement and vigor, but I have to look beyond race and gender and pick who I believe addresses what I believe is best for this country right now.
I'm getting behind John Edwards and hoping for an Edwards-Obama ticket that will destroy any ticket the republicans can put together.

Christian biologist fired
Christian biologist fired for beliefs, suit says
By Jason Szep
BOSTON (Reuters) - A Christian biologist is suing the prestigious Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, claiming he was fired for refusing to accept evolution, lawyers involved in the case said on Friday.
Nathaniel Abraham, an Indian national who describes himself as a "Bible-believing Christian," said in the suit filed on Monday in U.S. District Court in Boston that he was fired in 2004 because he would not accept evolution as scientific fact.
The latest U.S. academic spat over science and religion was first reported in The Boston Globe newspaper on Friday. Gibbs Law Firm in Florida, which is representing Abraham, said he was seeking $500,000 in compensation.
Hurray for Woods Hole.
Fuck yes he should be fired. Why would an institution that's very premise is based upon biological scientific facts want to retain a biologist who believes in mythology over biological facts? Woods Hole is all about examining ocean life. How could one be an effective biologist and not believe in evolution.
There is so much ignorance in the world today.

Honoring a Friend
My friend has just lost his father and his mentor, both inside of a week or so. I know he hurts with the pain we all feel when a great loss empties our heart. He is strong and he understand more about the world than I ever will so I know he will be OK, but I want to honor him today by posting these pictures and a few words about him and how our lives intersect.
This is a picture of my friend Blair Debassige from Manitoulin Island, M'Chigeen, Ontario, Canada. He is a great artist.
I am honored to own the picture he is standing next to. It is called "Sacred Journey," but my family and I call it "Family Portrait" since it depicts us in each of our places.
I first met Blair around 15 years ago. I was wanderiing around Manitoulin Island checking out side roads and such and stumbled into his gallery. I was entranced with the wild images I saw and didn't think that anything could be better than living in this wonderous woodland place and being an artist with your own gallery perched above the waters of Lake Huron. We talked about one of his larger pieces that was literally out of this world. I couldn't afford it or any of his art at the time, but he sold me a poster size copy of it, signed it and I went along my way. I thought of that place a lot as I had the poster framed and hung it in my living room, but I never got back to visit his gallery for almost another ten years.
This is Blair and his mentor the great father/founder of the woodland school of art, Norval Morriseau. Mr. Morriseau was famous in Canada where artists are revered and appreciated.Norval Morrisseau
1932-2007
http://www.thestar.com/article/282655
A few years ago I purposefully went up to M'Chigeen when I was on Manitoulin to see if Blair Debassige still had his studio/gallery and was still doing art. I was also hoping to buy a nice piece of art for my new house. I walked into his gallery and there was a woman working there. I asked if Blair was around and she said, "yes, he's up at the house." I said, "oh, I wanted to talk to him." and she told me to go on up to the house and ring the doorbell, that he wouldn't mind. I'm not sure if he minded at the time or not, but I did ring his doorbell and we ended up becoming good friends.
Talking to Blair about his art is like being drawn into a world of great depth and dimension. It's a world that swirls you around and leaves me happy and at peace. . . usually. And that's the way I feel when I'm hanging out with Blair whether we're out getting something to eat, sitting on his porch watching the incredible sunsets across the bay and especially when I have the great opportunity and honor of watching him paint. It's always a journey that leaves me feeling happy and at peace. I laugh a lot around Blair. He's a funny guy who is acutely aware of the world around him. I get sick of all the dumbassed fucks out there who are unaware of everything around them.
I feel like I know Blair. I know something of his defects and his strengths, his insecurities and his powers. He doesn't give those things up easily and neither do I, but I think we have shared those things.
So Blair, I hope that these words find you with some level of comfort today. You've enriched my life and I'm honored to be your friend.
I'm so sorry about your father's passing and Norval's passing. We all have our time.
I look forward to seeing you next spring. . . cooking Mexican food, grabbing one of those great burgers and fries at the bowling alley, checking out your new stuff and just being back on the island. Damn I miss that place.
On being presidential. . .
Romney vows Mormon church would not run White House
By Steve Holland
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney vowed on Thursday the Mormon church would not run the White House if he is elected, as he sought to reassure Americans wary of his religion.
Attempting to halt a slide in the polls in Iowa, where former Arkansas Gov. and Baptist preacher Mike Huckabee has surged into the lead, Romney made an impassioned appeal to Americans to look beyond his religion.
"Let me assure you that no authorities of my church, or of any other church for that matter, will ever exert influence on presidential decisions. Their authority is theirs, within the province of church affairs, and it ends where the affairs of the nation begin," Romney said.
One has to wonder why, in theses modern times, does a candidate feel compelled to tell us such things?
Well, maybe it's because your religion is creepy as hell and more along the lines of a cult. . . oh wait, most religion is creepy as hell and more along the lines of a cult. . . but the mormons seem to have raised the bar on creepy cultish mainstreamism.
WTF?! Romney is a guy who wears magic underwear because he thinks the rapture is going to occur at any time and he's gotta be wearing magic underwear to participate. He is losing the front runner position to a guy who is a baptist "preacher" and believes that the story of creation in his bible is true and modern science and evolution are a hoax. Holy shit. IS that the best the republicans have to offer? Oh yea, there's "Rudy" whose long line of defects is incredible, but he too is being offered up to the right wing "family values" coalition as some sort of plausible candidate. I truly hope they nominate any one of these moronic buffoons. . . oh wait, they did that in 2000 and the moronic buffoon took the presidency.
Oh fuck. Is creationism, magic underwear or cross dressing in the future of presidential decrees?

Blatant disregard for the Constitution of the United States
Wis. teacher arrested for blog comment
By RYAN J. FOLEY, Associated Press Writer Tue Dec 4, 4:09 PM ET
MADISON, Wis. - Bloggers and free speech advocates are calling on prosecutors not to file charges against a teacher arrested for allegedly posting an anonymous comment online praising the Columbine shooters.
Some were disturbed by the post police say James Buss left on a conservative blog, but other observers said it was a sarcastic attempt to discredit critics of education spending.
This is what we are going to have to contend with for the foreseeable future due to the neo-con disregard for the U.S. Constitution.
How in the fuck do these jack booted fascist thugs think they can arrest someone for posting a satirical piece on the internet no matter how distasteful it may be?
Welcome to Amerika 2007. All you stupid fucking morons who voted these piece of shit right wing neo-con scum into office over the past 16 years deserve what you have. Unfortunately there are the rest of us who love freedom and the Constitution of the United States who have to live here.
Fuck you proles and your neo-con masters for what you have done to my country.

Bush calls on Iran to 'come clean'
AP -
OMAHA, Neb. - President Bush, trying to keep pressure on Iran, called on Tehran Wednesday to "come clean" about the scope of its nuclear activities or else face diplomatic isolation.
How absurd are these treasonous bastards going to get? (I say "these treasonous bastards" because everyone know that the MoronMonkeyBoy bus hthe Chimp is only sayiing what he is told to say).
This is ridiculous. The UN and even our own intelligence community has said Iran has ceased with it's nuclear program. This is nothing short of treason. They are compromising our national security for their own financial gain. That constituttes treason folks.
This is nothing short of playground bully bullshit. . . creative badgering and intimidation with the purpose of getting their lunch money. Is that the intellectual level we want our government ot operate upon?
The only thing sadder is the fact that a large protion of the US population buys into this bullshit completely and another huge percentage of the population that could eventually comprise a majority, can be talked into it just like they were talked into weapons of mass destruction, etc. Ignorant proles. . .

Tagged and I shouldn't, but I will. . .
Write a letter to your 13 yr old self. . .
Dear Sagacious Hillbilly,
Yea, I'm talking to you. . . don't ask, it's a loooong story, just listen.
There's this guy on a popular TV show called Raw Hide. His character's name is Rowdy Yeats. Watch him. Study him. Act like him.
The guy's real name is Clint Eastwood. He will soon be a very popular movie actor. As soon as you see he is going to be in a movie, go see that movie. Watch it a dozen times. If you can find some of his movies that are out now, go see them. They are called "Spaghetti westerns." Titles are "Good, Bad and the Ugly, Fist Full of Dollars, For a few Dollars More."
Be like Clint and you'll be ok.
Oh, and study harder.
See you in 40 yrs.,
Yourself
Glad I took my advice.

. . .and lions and tigers and bears, OH MY!
US Officials: Iran has nuke capability
AP -
WASHINGTON - Iran halted its nuclear weapons development program in the fall of 2003 under international pressure but is continuing to enrich uranium, which means it may still be able to develop a weapon between 2010 and 2015, senior intelligence officials said Monday.
Here we go again. Are they going to convince the proles and the ste pn fetch congress that Iran is an imminent threat?
So fucking what. Let em have nuke. They know that if they attack the USA or one of our allies they will be reduced to a glass parking lot in a matter of minutes. India and Pakistan have nukes. North Korea has nukes. Israel has nukes. What fucking difference does it make if Iran has nukes. Are we going to completely bankrupt our nation and everyone in it except for the mega rich who will get richer just to make sure some pitiful bunch of third world Islamic fundamentalist don't have nukes? Besides, SHOW US THE PROOF! It's always speculation and innuendo.
Folks, we have problems in this country. Our national debt is threatening to destroy us, we have gross poverty that is like a plaque on our land and shames us for as long as it continues, the boomer generation is retiring and we are quickly running out of funds to support them. In our diverse and multiracial society, racism invades almost every aspect of our culture. We've got our asses mired down in the middle east in a quagmire that is a monumental cluster fuck of historic proportions and is eating away at our national resources like a mad Langoliers.
Let's put down the sabers, collect our thoughts, quit worrying about hordes of brown people from the south and the mid east and solve the real problems that face us today.

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup. . .
. . . and looking up I noticed I was late.
Finally, the boreass is gone, business is done and I can go down to the gate and veg out. Well, I could if these inept parents would keep some sort of control over their obnoxious children. Is this all part of the touchy feely bs where they let their kids do whatever the fuck they want without severe consequences? I got news for you fucktards, kids need to learn that life isn’t all about doing whatever the fuck you want however and whenever you want. It’s not about not suffering severe consequences when you fuck up either. How can there be responsibility without consequence?
Another thing about these morons. . . when did parent start needing to push a big bulky stroller for each kid and a gigantic supply bag for each kid. I see some of these parents going through the airport with a couple kids and they’re loaded down like pack animals. Ridiculous. Carry your own teddy bear and you don’t need anything else. Why the fuck do so many parents have to travel with their little tiny children anyway? Is it really necessary?
It used to be that parents acted like parents and not the unwilling nannies of spoiled children of privilege.
Little children should either make their own way or be carried. I realize that your 5 year old is a lazy little spoiled brat who has never had to venture very far from the TV screen to find his entertainment, but seeing him in a stroller because he is too lazy to walk and you just don’t want to put up with the fuss he might make is kinda disgusting. Here, I’ll take care of the kid. He opens his mouth in protest more than once and he’ll be wishing he hadn’t. The back of my hand will keep him quiet just fine as he trudges through the airport with the rest of the sheep. But all that should have been established a long time ago. NOT in the middle of some airport jetway.
Ahhh, wonderful. I’m sitting in a 737 that’s less than half full. I’ve got an entire emergency exit row to stretch out in and relax. I might just get some sleep. I wonder how the crab cakes are at that crab restaurant in the next airport?
It’s always a thrill to look out at the coast line and see The Cape down below. Could there be a cooler more historic place on Earth?
Why is it that the plane I arrive on and the plane I depart on are ALWAYS on oppisite ends of this fucking airport? And it seems like I always have tight connections coming back through here.

Woke up, got outta bed, dragged a comb across my head. . . .
Special honors to the first person to post the next line to that title.
Geez, 4:45AM, not a car on the road and this moron wants to tailgate me all the way up the hill to the airport. What a fucking douche.
OK, so I insert my card in the kiosh and it tells me I don’t have a reservation. No matter how I enter my information, “can’t find a reservation.” So I step up to the ticket counter and in 15 seconds they have my reservation. The person in front of me did the same thing and there’s somebody behind me doing the same thing. Shut the fucking machine off if it doesn’t work!
TSA. Man, these guys have got to be the bottom end of the police academy rejects. They act like they’re saving humanity. As if they have some unbelieveably important job that we all should be grateful to them for performing. Here’s a news flash for you bunch of ignorant cop wannabe bubbas: you and your organization are a farse. I can think of about 100 different way to smuggle weapons that could slice stab, explode and otherwise cause incredible mayhem on an airplane. What you morons do is disarm good and honest Americans so that when some fucking loser does decide to end it all for himself and a plane full of innocents, we have no defense against the lunatic. Shut the fucking useless airport security down and let us all carry weapons. How many fucking maniacs are going to take on an airplane full of armed passengers? Maybe a few, but they won't get very far. But no, we’ve got to spend 100s of billions of dollars defending ourselves against something so remote that it’s absurd, and in the process, humiliate good honest American citizens with “random” searches. If that’s not enough, everyone has to take off their jackets, shoes and belts. Fucking idiots.
Alright time to get on the plane. Who are these fucking morons who carry a full set of luggage onto the plane? It then takes them 5 minutes to find an empty compartment and stash their oversized bags in the overhead. Meanwhile there are 137 people waiting behind you to get onto the plane who only have a small pocketbook or briefcase. Thank god I’m sitting in a row by myself and one of these 300lb. porkers isn’t intent upon sitting next to me and making the next hour and a half of my life a miserable experience.. Geez, there should be weight limits on people who they allow onto airplanes. . . there must be, but they aren’t low enough.
Now here’s a gem. The old couple in front of me sitting in the emergency exit are assuring the stewardess that they are perfectly capable of dislodging the emergency exit door, turning it sideways and throwing it out the opening and onto the ground. Yea, I’m fucking sure you are you fidgety nervous old geezer who looks like you never twisted a screw driver in your life. If this plane makes an emergency landing and it’s time to get the fuck outta here, I’m going through those incompetent looking old proles.
Off the plane and make my connection. I’ve got an hour and a half so I guess I’ll get something to eat. I’ll make this short and sweet, why the fuck does it take fifteen god damn minutes to get a crab meat omelet that they’re advertising on a display outside the door at a crab meat restaurant in an airport? Shouldn’t this be like fast food for people who are generally in a hurry? Now it’s taking forever to get the waitress to bring me my check. WTF?!
Ok, onto the plane. Looks crowded. Hopefully. . . FUCK! Some fat ol geezer couple have my seat. “That’s right, I’ve got the aisle.” Fer chritsake there’s not enough room for all three of us in these three seats! OK, it’s less than a two hour flight, I cross my arms and just sleep or zone out with my eyes closed. I spent enough time during my twisted childhood doing that. It’s never been a problem. My god, this 300lb. woman is reading some dumb romance novel with her elbows half way across my chest. Time for a well aimed upward thrust of my forearm. There, that took care of that seat hog.
I love opening my eyes and having a nice big ol round ass in my face. That stewardess serving drinks to the people across the aisle definitely has a nice big ol round one. Aww, and she turned around, looked at me looking at her ass and then turned back around and rubbed it into my shoulder. Shame on her.
Thank god, finally almost there. Wow, coming in over the water. It looks beautiful blue and really calm. Blue sky, a few low puffy clouds. There sure are a lot of small boats on the ocean. I wonder how warm it is out there.
Off the plane. Wait for all the morons to collect up their things and move their slow fat asses out of the plane. No wonder so many people burn up in plane crashes. The proles can’t get out of their own way.
Fine, I’ve got to meet the guy at 1PM, take care of some business and then back on the plane at 2:50. I’ve got plenty of time to pop out and catch some nice warm sunshine outside the terminal.
Damn, damn, damn!!!! It’s fucking 90 degrees out here! It’s warm and beautiful. Back home, the world is frozen up like a twenty year marriage. It was like 20 degree out this morning when I went to the airport. I’ve gotta be back on a plane heading into that in another couple hours. FUCK! What the hell is the matter with me? I could have rented a car, skipped over to the west coast, spent tomorrow on the boat and come back on Monday. This is tragic.
