Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Everybody saw this coming.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

I was promised a recession.

Republicans don’t trust women.

The willow is too close to the house.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Come on, man.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

This blog will pay for itself.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

On The Road

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  July 13, 20175:00 am| 15 Comments

This post is in: On The Road, Open Threads, Readership Capture

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.

So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…

Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!

 

Please keep holding on to pictures in anticipation of the new submission form – thanks!

 

Where it was taken: Gettysburg PA
When:7/5/2017
Commenter BroD
Other notes or info about the picture: I am sad to report that, on a recent fly-rod raid on Pennsylvania, I discovered that *Distelfink* has gone out of business. It was a one-of a kind eatery–located at the intersection of Business Rt 15 and PA 394 a few miles north of Gettysburg. Featuring a unique menu of mostly locally-sourced food (*Good* food!), it attracted a colorful clientele of rural locals, high school and college kids, battlefield tourists, savvy truck drivers and itinerant fishermen like me. I’ll miss it.

 

 

Such great pictures of a former glory!

I love pictures from fishing trips because you go out of the way and off the beaten path. Parts of an older time often reveal themselves – one place I used to fish in Colorado had an old, long-abandoned concrete sluice setup for panning for gold. I love to fish but believe in eating what I catch, so there are less opportunities right now, so I bide my time and enjoy Raven’s stories and pictures. FYI – this feature doesn’t have to be new trips – old pics are welcome.

 

And a little animal humor from jeffg:

 

That’s a might nice cob its got there, looks like a good set. So – may your food be so plentiful, and the wildlife so silly!

Have a great day everyone, the week’s soon coming to a close.

    I wish I had some shots of my trip to the Ruedi Reservoir about 25 years ago! I caught a ton of huge trout, filet them, froze them in a block and flew to Phoenix with them in my carry on!

    It’s an unflattering posture! Everybody knows the camera adds pounds!…

    If JeffreyW’s version is the same as the ones I’ve seen, the cob is firmly nailed to the lawn chair, so that the greedy little bastids can’t carry them away. He’s probably glaring at the camera because he can’t hoard a few dozen ears ‘for later’.

    Adore these pictures today. Luvs me some funky and offbeat. FYI, Poco is packing his bandana collection. Road tripping to Bogue Banks (Pine Knoll Shores) NC next week. He wants to show off everything he’s been learning in his school!?

    Hey, Alain – did you want me to resubmit those May Australia shots on the new form? I remember that some other shots went up the day you had indicated you’d set them for.

    @Quinerly: Have fun! We used to have a house near the aquarium, a must see. Great island for biking with a dedicated bike lane.
    As for me, I’m on the road in Denver, then to Steamboat Springs and then out and back to Yellowstone

    @Carolina Dave:
    I’m from Pitt County originally. (ECU undergrad. Go Pirates!) Actually, my family beach place is almost across the street from the aquarium, ocean side. Small world. We have had a place on Bogue Banks since 1965. A bit of trivia…David Sedaris bought a 1970’s era duplex at Emerald Isle just a few years ago. Have a great trip out west. I head to NM end of January.

    Would that be the Sea Section?

    @Laura:
    I do believe so. His father hates the name. Google David Sedaris Emerald Isle. Several articles on it, his writings. I think if you dig deep enough in the Google you can still find the original listing.
