Went on a great bike ride to the Airport and beyond today. Saw an otter, seals, and some neat birds. On the way home, stopped and had brunch a Ouisi. Beer is the best reward.
Start and end points on the map above. I’m going to shower and nap now.
All in all, almost a 50km bike ride, according to Google Maps! #tuff

Brandon and I have seen pretty well every Connery Bond film. Bond + Beer Nights. Classic.

Until World War II, the income tax was levied only on the rich. But wartime spending meant the government needed money, and ordinary folks are now asked to pay.
“There was a lot of concern that Americans just wouldn’t do it,” Joe Thorndike, co-author of the book War and Taxes, says. “Or that they wouldn’t understand that they were supposed to … or even just how to do it.”
The government needed to get the word out. It needed a spokesperson. Someone credible, and easy to understand.
The government needed Donald Duck.
The movie at the top of this post is from 1943. In it, Donald Duck marches around his house, listening to the radio and filling out his tax form. Occupation: actor. Dependents: three (Huey, Dewey and Louie).
ready to go
[D] Drop terms that you’ve set
Trying to make a mark on you
It works like a tether
You wanna tighten the pace
Take measure of the secret buzz
We get when together
[G] You know I’m ready
You know I’m ready to go [D]
[D] And if I slip a note
To a pass along a distant cool
Is just how to smother
All the movements I trace
Just searching for that nervous touch
You get from another
[G] You know I’m ready
You know I’m ready to go [D]
[G] You know I’m ready
You know I’m ready to go [D]
[A] Although you say “yeah”
I [G] guess I still wonder
[G] To give ourselves up to surrender
You never seem to show that hunger, do [D] you?
[G] Try to read just how we’re trending
I guess I’m not that good at waiting, are [D] you?
[G] You know I’m ready
You know I’m ready to go [D]
[G] You know I’m ready
You know I’m ready to go [D]
[A] And though it was broke
I [G] guess I still wonder

Catholic Gaydar is on SoundCloud! Matt and I started Catholic Gaydar years ago, happy to see him continuing it! Lots of old songs, plus some great new ones (c/f Lake Dream). You can find attached a version of “Daniel” that Matt put together years ago, it’s pretty great! <3
