Last night someone ran over my Biden sign in my front yard with a bike.  I put up another one, but the idea that there is that attitude in my neighborhood is a bit disconcerting. This is bringing out the worst in everyone.  It's not pretty here now.

I put no sort of signs on any of my property. I've seen Mickey Mouse stickers defaced on cars, even back in the '70s. There is no pleasing everyone, and it seems like there is no pleasing anyone, these days. The days of someone walking by and saying that "you're an eedjit for posting that sign" are long gone. I put up cameras on the front of my house many years ago to deter a neighbor from vandalizing our property. No politics, just some sort of mental issues, which the cameras took care of.

FWIW, when the chump loses (again) the BS is going to skyrocket. I personally expect that it won't be any worse than when Obama was elected and was hanged and burned in effigy (which is bad enough). There's a lot of rhetoric, but most of those people are law-abiding enough to just bitch in a local venue.

Well it's Sunday.
What to do?
Go to church?
Fuck off!
Cut the grass?
Fuck off!
Do some wood working?
Possibly!
Walk the dogs?
Probably.
Watch the Russian Grand Prix?
Definitely!

Wash my car. I've been wanting to do it for a week, but other stuff has taken priority. I could take it to the robo-wash, but that went from $5 to $8 for the basic wash. Scroom, I'll do it myself. Then I'll start with the fucking off.  ;D

Well so far I did cut the grass in the end. Did some wood working (box and work bench). And watched Demolition Man. :)

I thought you were going to watch the Russian Grand Prix. It was a definite on your list.

I have to admit though, Demolition Man may be a good replacement. :grin:

Heh!  ;D

For me, today was a gleefully unproductive day. :grin: I had an online meeting up till 1 a.m. and woke up at 10. In the afternoon I slept some more. Sunday, lazy Sunday. :grin:

Finished doing a lousy voice-over for my video-poster. :whew: (Online) congresses these days...

I wanted to do it in English but my supervisor said it was best not to.  :'( Oh well, there's always the international congress next year. :grin:

What kind of truck JJ?  Tell us more.

It's a 2016 Ram 1500. Long bed, regular cab, in white. I probably look like a painter or a carpenter.
