Hey. Happy Thursday, everybody. We’re expecting colder temperatures today and a shitload of RAIN
— up to three inches! — which is actually pretty good news, as we’ve been stuck in a drought for the last six months and three inches of rain will fill up the reservoirs. In case you’re interested, although I can’t imagine why you
would be, our reservoir is lovely Lake Ray Hubbard in nearby Rockwall, a source of summertime entertainment for boating enthusiasts and local water-starved Texans. The following map indicates: A) the Lake Ray Hubbard Reservoir; B) Howdygram headquarters, which is about four miles east of the lake; C) our closest Wal-Mart superstore; and D) China City, where Sam always buys my favorite hot and sour soup to-go.
By now you’ve probably seen the story about Donald Trump’s disastrous speech last night in Pittsburgh. This was supposed to be a presentation about energy, but the Moron-in-Chief turned it into a psychotic
campaign rally with some of his most illiterate geography fuck-ups to date. For instance, here is a
verbatim quote:
Below is a map of the states “in question.” According to Trump’s (lack of) knowledge about American geography, he apparently thinks Colorado and Louisiana share a border with
Mexico. And I wonder why Louisiana’s wall is so “incredible.” Maybe because Louisiana has no land on its southern border and a “wall” would be floating in the Gulf!
Naturally, Trump attempted to walk back his ignorant wall comments via Twitter but only made everything worse. (As usual.)
As long as I’m writing about geography, Sam and I live in the Dallas metro area in northeast Texas, very close to several other states, and that’s actually an unusual boast in Texas because this state is so damn huge. For instance, Louisiana and Arkansas are each about two hours away (160 miles) and Oklahoma is 90 minutes away (90 miles). We never go anywhere, though, so it’s a moot point.
Yep, I’ve got a few more free fonts for you! This time it’s a little of everything, from hand-drawn (“Sans Andreas,” “Bisquit”), to a standard sans serif (“Meltland”) in a wide variety of weights, italics and outline styles, to a bold brush script (“Zapan”), a versatile unicase font
— where uppercase and lowercase letters are all the same size — in several weights (“Watermelon”) and a quirky layered display font (“Hatter Halloween”) with lots of included doodles, dingbats and cartoons. Have some fun with fonts! I’ll add download links after the font list, okay?
I’m having a very uncomfortable evening right now. It’s a couple of minutes after 9 p.m., Sam is out like a light on the sofa, and we’ve got some rather heavy rain going on outside. (Rain is
good, however.) So what’s making me uncomfortable, you ask?
MY STOMACH! I’ve got that hideous
pressure again … I need a Xanax, an anti-nausea pill and a meal replacement shake. I haven’t eaten anything for quite some time and don’t especially feel like eating anything
now, either. This is the kind of crap that can absolutely ruin an otherwise pleasant evening, damn it.
Thank you for reading this. Maybe I can fall asleep and forget how lousy I feel.
