Seven @#$% weeks of pain, discomfort and it takes a week at a time to see a doc (sorry Rufus). But tonight I start PT and get a home traction unit for my base betrayer cervical discs (up yours C6 and C7!). So I am a bit grouchy this morning. The links will hopefully NOT reflect this. It is not your fault I am in this condition.  If it was, we at Glibs would have passed along your address to STEVE SMITH for a little visit. That is one Welcome Wagon you do not want pulling up in your driveway…

Anyways, here are your links for the morning:

• It is like Washington State authorities have never heard of SEA SMITH. But if these folks want SuperUltraMega composting on their property, voluntarily….good on them.
• The Hat and The Hair – Expanded Universe, has a chance to take the UK! Pleasepleaseplease let this happen. Can you imagine the summit between him and our Hat and Hair? SugarFree would almost have too much material to work with.
• Sorry NYC Glibs. Looks like you might see the ol’ taxes and fees go up a wee bit, if this happens.
• Looks like you don’t have to die on Mount Everest to be a Himalayas casualty.

As is often the case, I leave the musical selections to you, the Glibertariat.

I don’t think any of us wants to be here today, so we will go ahead and try to make the best of it with some links. Mondays, huh?

• I am not sure why this was published. Who – some guy. What – got shot. Where – in a city in Sweden. Why – a bit vague on that (or, maybe the Swedish cops are becoming more like their American colleagues). When – today. Very little information gets passed along. Congrats Reuters.
• The family that gets shot together….uh, gets, um. Well. Happy Times in Chicago. Note who was the “first responder” in this case (hint: not the cops or paramedics).
• “Snog.fm“?
• Pleasepleaseplease let this happen.

Go Forth and Free Cascadia, because the water…or whatever you are supposed to do.

While gathering material for the links, I see that there may be a world shaking event, impacting the Hat and the Hair.

So once I recovered from that shocker, I found some links for all of you to read and comment on… no, seriously! OK, a man can dream, can’t he? What’s that? Nightmares are dreams too? Yeah…I guess so. Anyway, have some links:

1. I did not realize one of the Glibs had gone to London. We will see who is missing in the comments.
2. Florida Man…I respect that he is still alive.
3. Ah, Chicago….at least there are distractions available in Illinois now.
4. Mexicans imperiled… weed becoming more available. No word yet on buttsechs.

Music link – for some reason I thought of Almanian! this morning.

No Morning Links today. I am too damned maudlin. Sorry, not sorry.

Bottom Left 3 names – they make me especially sad. Heroic Mulatto gave me some closure on SPC Samten. See here.

This one made me cry last night, remembering him.

I cried more remembering him.

Have a music link.

The comments are yours. I am going to a memorial ceremony and hoping I can keep my shit together when they play Taps.

My short vacation is over – back to the Link mines. I am having trouble getting going, so the links may not be up Confoederatio Helvetica standards. But by God, you shall have them, and have them on time.

So get to it!

• I have stopped following the Brexit. My last impression is that the great slime engine of the state had managed to stall…and is looking to somehow reverse the appalling decision of those grubby voters.
• OK, everyone – what do we say to slavers? In this case more like “bribers”.
• Uh, this isn’t how you join the Mile High Club.
• Fat tax raising scoundrel draws partial stink-eye of Chicago lefty newspaper. Notice what the paper does not address as well.

Have at it in the comments.

Brett just might have been carried off by a face eating bath saltzer. We can’t be sure. So I am throwing a few hasty links out, to keep the chance of mob action/rioting low…

• Ur doin it rong.
• “I’ve talked to Abe….nice name, like Lincoln!”
• …go on.

Imma go call the FL State coppers, maybe there is a report or somesuch.

P.S. Muscle in middle of right shoulder blade got a nice bunch lidocaine shot into it…I have a small mound of steroids to take and a muscle relaxant for nighttime. I should be less ready to cowbutt the lot of ye. But don’t push it…

A week long shoulder problem has left me quite ornery – I am leaving work at mid-day to go to convenient care and get this @#$% fixed. But, personal whinging aside, the Links must flow…er, be posted. So, your linkings are as follows:

• While Illinois is doing the right thing – they are making sure they crony and exception their way forward. “The measure would also create a designation for “social equity applicants” hoping to obtain licenses and provide minority-owned businesses support by offering technical assistance, access to capital and loans and relief from fees that have posed a barrier to entry for those looking to crack into the state’s pot industry — which is currently dominated by a handful of predominantly-white medical marijuana companies.“
• This sure beats Uber… “On Sunday, the king was carried through the streets on a gilded palanquin for the royal procession.” It is good to be the king.
• I think this qualifies as “bad luck“.
• Is good Rooshian plane. But seriously, good on the stewardess for saving people. Of course, “planes will not be grounding. Am good flying!”
