Charles Manson is dead. Finally.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

It's just a shame my tax dollars had to pay for the free room and board for this waste of oxygen. He should have suffered every day of his miserable life instead of living in virtual luxury, not to mention free healthcare.

Fuck him.

May he rot in hell.

Too bad the law does allow for his body to be dumped in the desert and feasted on by vermin until it's nothing but bones, bleaching in the sun.

Get your National Park Senior Passes NOW!

Currently if you are a U.S. citizen and 62 or older, you can get a lifetime pass to all national parks for $10 at your nearest national park. Not near a park? It will cost you $20 by mail. There's about a six week waiting period so get it NOW.

Why?

Because on October 1, 2017 the cost of a senior lifetime pass will go up to $80. That's right. $80. You can thank REPUBLICAN senator Udall from Utah.

Here's information on the passes: https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm

If you are permanently disabled, the pass is still free. But knowing our current congress, I wouldn't count on that continuing either.

I have my pass but will be buying a second one and keeping it in a very safe place just in case my first is lost. Because if I lose it, I'd have to pay for another. At $80, not likely.

Nice to see our public servants are looking out for the public and making sure we have access to all of the public lands that we "own."

See them now before they are all sold off or desecrated for private profit.

The Advanced Pussyhat

Sorry, no photos. 

If you are knitting a Pussyhat for this Saturday and are a fairly advanced knitter (who hates to seam) this is for YOU. 

Use two sets of double ended needles size 8. It's easier. Unless you have some with really long cords, like a Denise set. I'm using two sets of Crystalite #8 lavender. 

Cast on 50 stitches on the bottom and 50 stitches on the top using Judy's Magic Cast On. 

Knit until the "pocket" (from the cast on to the needle) is 7.5 inches. Remember, you're working in the round here so as you go, your hat will form a pocket.

Start your stockinette and knit 2 purl 2 for 4.25 inches. 

Use Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off. 

Sew in the two tails and you're done.

I hate seaming so working in the round like I do for toe up socks makes a great hat. Goes really fast too.
