BBQ, lots of it. Won’t need any more of that for years.

Oh hey, no one asked about my game. I’m getting to old to attempt all nighters, and I almost needed it this go around.
I posted a Windows binary on the forums of the game library the thing required. (Oh hey, the other other forum that I’m “active” on!)
Wow, even if I remove all the posts I made in the what anime you’re watching thread… I still post more here.
Waiting for the peer voting phase to begin now.
I love the idea for this game. Haikus are so much fun. 
For lack of a better place to put this…
###ANN Survey: USA Politics 2016
June 1, 2016
Yeah, that is one odd duck of a survey. It does show how much ANN’s readers are feeling the “Bern”. Yeesh…

Goku for President! Yay anime!
Are they trying to see if there’s any truth to pundit Rick Wilson’s crass quip about Trump fans and anime? Looking at the results, I’m thinking he missed the mark as ANN has some 3rd degree Bern going on.
I’m a bit surprised that the DNC superdelegate issue is common knowledge enough for ANN to put it into the survey. Maybe this election could generate enough public ire to force that to change.
Survey says that US politics have nothing to do with anime, but that might not be entirely accurate as ANN ran articles about how TPP could affect anime, and 2 of the 3 candidates oppose TPP…unless Bernie has switched his views on that.
I wasn’t all that surprised at the degree of “Bern” that ANN’s readership showed. My sons’ friends all seem to have it going strong too. FWIW, Most of them likely won’t vote at all if he isn’t on the November ballot.
The Democratic Party isn’t the party that my parents supported so strongly, hasn’t been since their 1968 convention debacle. The superdelegates were created to allow the party bosses to override the primary voters choices. Sen. Sanders is correct about that being “Rigged”. The Republican Party doesn’t have such a mechanism and I’m sure their party bosses wish to God that they did.
The best interests of the USA and it’s People likely can’t be served by any candidate that comes out of either of the major parties under normal circumstances. What the USA needs is policies that ride mostly in the middle, except for when they don’t or can’t, and the polarized extremes of the two party system have a near strangle hold on the nomination process.

Couldn’t agree more. On the GOP side, it seems pretty clear to me that if not for Trump, “Jebra” would’ve been the nominee automatically, with everyone else spending a boatload of money to fight for second place. I thought the Democrat party was doing the same thing as their Hillary challengers were straw men, up until the point Bernie stopped defending Hillary (!!) and started duking it out with her in earnest.
The GOP official summed this up when he said that the party decides the nominee, not the primary voters, and couldn’t come up with an answer for why the parties bother to have primaries when that’s the case. 
I wonder what the middle is, as it seems to move over time. Reminds me of that John Wayne quote where he says that he always thought that he was a liberal, but was surprised to learn that his positions made him a right winger.
Seems that only the party bigwigs want Hillary and (wanted) Jebra as the general public doesn’t seem to to really be turning up for 'em.
Yep, it does. The fact that it moves is a cause of many problems, politicians believe that they can shape the movement of American opinion & the body politic - and they are right to an extent. Eventually what happens is that the process begins to move in a direction(s) that none of the political class wants. Then you see them spin their wheels trying to influence it. Mostly they just make it more determined to reach whatever goal it is set on. Usually a new political class will emerge from the people that help reach that goal while the old group implodes.

Hope you are safe down there in Florida. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
We’re fine so far, the folks on the gulf coast - Tampa, St. Petersburg - are taking the brunt of the weather. Ironically we got a leak in our roof repaired this morning. The repair guys showed up early to get it fixed before the rain could hit, we have a terra-cotta tile roof so they used a quick drying cement along with a transparent sealing agent spray. It was done about three hours before the weather hit, which was more than enough time for it to dry & seal.

2 pets passing in one month. What a brutal month for me.
I’d like a pet velociraptor… yeah that’d be nice. . . . . Just indiscriminately eat people for no reason other than because f*ck you it’s a didinosaur. I’d also like my own little arsenal of mini nukes kind of like from the Fallout series, that’d be nice too. . . .
I just love surprise thunderstorms.
Trying to post and WHAM! Lightning strike - does my posting for me.
