Here's how it went down. 0600 and the phone rings, "What?" slightly terse perhaps. "Hey dad, I'm at the 7-11 next to Walmart and the car won't shift out of park." Huh, I thought grimly, "So you need a ride to Fort Hood?" Sure enough, that's exactly what was needed and off I drove.
It was a good drive as the sun rose over the expanse of Texas, though I35 was crazy as usual. Then there we were at Hood or Fort Carvasio, or whatever it's called now. Seriously, how many People of Color (POC) benefited in any way, at all, from the name change? Like wow, just look how the indigent POCs in Killeen have prospered since.
That's the thing with virtue signalling mountebanks, they come on fast with good if fatuous slogans, like Black Lives Matter. Nice, of course they do, but who actually profits? Why, the virtue signalers themselves. You'll note BLM's founders are living in mansions now, poor POCs? Not so much, they haven't received a penny. The Biblical term for this is hypocrite.
Regardless, it was good to be back at Fort Hood and the soldiery seemed well presented if preposterously young. And the malfeasant vehicle's been towed to the Compound where it sits, awaiting the attention of a mobile mechanic or, more likely, a tow to a shop on Monday. Its issue? A broken linkage cable.
Easy fix, apparently, but I'm not about to try. In the meanwhile, what can we say?

Glad it was nothing serious and he wasn't on the road.
Stay cool!
You all be safe and God bless.
Broken battery cable, broken linkage cable. There's a pattern there somewhere.
"And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward." How appropriate.
And the number of people who think Dads aren't necessary.
Yes indeed, Linda, could've been way worse.
Then there's the heat. Kyrie.
Wild, it's a most discouraging trend.
Now that verse, DOS, is most apt.
And yes.
How many people have been helped by renaming military bases?
How many people have been helped by removing various status?
How many people have been helped (aside from the criminals who are out of jail) by the Left's woke attack on law and order, or Justice?
None
Exactly, Zendo.
Totally had it with this canting garbage.
Especially annoying to see it in the UK, but that's another story.
