Could not figure out why the dishwasher leaked a big pool of water on the kitchen floor. Guessed it might be limestone buildup from our rather stony water hereabouts. So I ran a clean-up pouch through it on a normal cycle. No leaks, no problem.
Decided to try again with the dishes that needed washing. Went for the detergent pouches package and chanced to read the label on the front. Discovered the pouches were for washing machines. Yowza!

Mr. Boy is back to his school work, as a junior this year, with the added effort of Anderson High School’s speech and debate team. Had to buy him his first suit for this team’s competitions, which began last Saturday in the Lake Travis Classic at Lake Travis high school.
He and his partner won first in their division, Public Forum, arguing both sides of whether students should be allowed due process when school administrators decide to enter and inspect their lockers without their permission. The rest of the Anderson team also swept the field on their various topics and right into first place overall.
They’ll be at it again this weekend in Pflugerville. Mr. B. is sitting this one out because his partner is unavailable. As I understand it the team will be going at it just about every weekend for the rest of the semester but the participants will have to change their topics, and start over, every other month or so.
Somewhere Mrs. Charm is enjoying this, I’m sure, with the added advantage of being there.

She’s gotta win, she’s gotta win. Otherwise the alphabets will have to work for a livin’, instead of just regurgitating political, police and celebrity handouts.

You could say Trump’s calling the Hildabeast “Crooked Hillary,” which he has done all year, was the beginning of the mudslinging. But there’s actual evidence for her crookedness, whether it’s conclusive or not. Sure is a lot of (cough) smoke.
There’s no evidence at all for what Crooked Hillary is now doing: sliming Trump with accusations of a connection to the KKK. And calling Breitbart news readers like me white supremacists and racists, as well. (Breitbart isn’t one of her lapdogs.) Not that Trump doesn’t have a ready response that certainly rings true.
“When Democratic policies fail, they are left with only this one tired argument. ‘You’re racist, you’re racist, you’re racist,’ they keep saying it, ‘you’re racist.’ It’s a tired, disgusting argument, and it’s so totally predictable.”
Yep. And it’s also being backed, quite proudly, in fact, by the NYTimes and other Democrat media, without her specifics, in most cases, just the word racist. Will it work? Probably.
As the Instapundit explains: “One thing I’ve learned about the power of ‘mainstream’ media is that while they can no longer keep stories out of the public eye, their power to gin up, or quash, public outrage remains enormous.”
If she is elected with this ploy, you suckers who vote for her will deserve everything you get: higher taxes, higher unemployment, more Muslim immigrants, more terrorism, etc.
Me, I’ll get a CCL and spend a lot more time at the range. To be ready for the inevitable.

Biased against Trump and proud as punch of it. ‘Cause they and their pals in the ruling class know the truth, you see, and the rest of us great unwashed had best take their word for it and like it.
Instapundit: “Yep. Every four years the GOP nominee is literally Hitler, only to be resurrected as one of the ‘good Republicans’ later in contrast to the new guy who’s literally Hitler.”
Or not, as their declining fortunes (steadily losing subscribers, viewers and advertisers) ought to show them. But they’re slow learners. Obviously. Or else they paid way too close attention to the so-called scholars who learned ’em.
As the decaying corpse of their dwindling profession slowly rots.

Hillary Clinton: The Cow That Milks America…
And will continue to do so, with funding from Wall Street and the ruling class if the great unwashed elect her president.
I borrowed the headline from Gary Johnson, a commenter at the WSJ who may or may not be the Libertarian candidate for president by the same name but who can be tre funny when he wants to be.
