Ketchup as in Catch-Up

I owe my loyal readers - both of you, an explanation as to the rare and sporadic posting over the summer. I've been hustling. Call it a Jihad. A Struggle. A struggle against oxidation, chaos and decay. We put in a garden. ( A whole different post needing to be done.) I did some earth-moving with the tractor. We did a remodel on a duplex to turn it into a single unit. We painted the barn. We painted the house. I pulled the engine out of BMW 325. We're going to paint the rental over the next couple of days. Then we're going to tear the shed off the back of the garage and re-roof the garage. By the time we're done with that I should have the new engine ready to go back in the BMW and then it will be time to shop for Christmas...

Christmas... The stores are already ramping up for HanuChristHallowMasThanksgivEenUkah

Don't get me wrong, I like holidays. I just think they ought to be more about people and less about stuff. Some people are completely ruled by stuff... status... outward appearances.

Does anyone think KJI really has nukes up there in N. Korea?

I think after the failed missile launch he told his cronies to go ahead and prepare for the nuke test and have a conventional (non-nuclear) site set up as a backup.

He tried to set off the nuke but it didn't work so he set off 500 to 1000 tons of high explosive to fake a low yield nuke.

A typical loser scheme concocted to prop up a loser political system that perpetuates the only loser society in East Asia.
State Sponsored Failure.
Socialism is so... like... whatever.
