We're almost ready. What are we talking about today? Tell me when the show starts.

Well, it's not really a show, it's just a podcast. But are we rolling? We are rolling now, yes. So we're good.

Well, in Garage Logic, we've come up with names. Wait a minute, wait a minute. You should welcome them back to the Garage Logic podcast, the Inside Garage Logic podcast, the backstory.

Well, we've moved on from the backstory. This is this is fleshing out current things. Well, I'm glad we're current. Let's go. Well, in Garage Logic, we've come up with names for things that that what symbolize what and God's name is happening to this country. Right.

Headdressing. Headdressing is when celebrities wear Native American headdresses knowing full well, they'll have to apologize and thus get themselves some more publicity. So when we see somebody captured in that act, we call it headdressing.

Right.

So when you're in the middle of the building, you've heard of windmilling. That's generally people advocating some sort of environmental concern until they find out it might happen in their backyard, like the Kennedys who were opposed to windmills once they found out they could see him from their place on Cape Coyle.

Well, we also came up with a term called power washing and that's what I want to talk about today. We didn't know what power washing was, but we were coming across examples of the self-appointed examples of virtue of these so called social justice warriors who were taking something sweet and innocent and charming and taking it apart until it was left to be nothing but darkness.

For example, two local young musicians in the Twin Cities more than a year ago determined out of the blue that the song Baby, it's cold outside. Right. I wish you wouldn't go. Why don't you stay that whole deal remember that song?

Oh, yeah, wonderful song. Great tune. Very. Very.

Very in the 40s. They determined that really what that was about was date rape so they rewrote the lyrics to give the woman in the song more what they believe to be freedom to actually leave.

It's not a song about date rape. It was a cozy, charming song but they left it smothered in darkness. They tried to ruin it. Now they might think they weren't trying to ruin it. They thought maybe they were doing the right thing but they ruined it.

A couple of schools out in Oregon named Lynch, Lynch Elementary. Somebody complained that the word Lynch put them in mind of lynching. So the school board changed the names of the schools.

They were named for the guy who gave them the land in the 1800s. Lynch is about the third most popular last name in the country.

Don't forget about how power wash where we got the turn. That's where I'm going. When we came across those they didn't have a garage logic title. We didn't know what to call them.

The woman who went in a hobby store and saw cotton balls that you use for decorations. Correct. She said that was evocative of slavery and complained so that the hobby store wouldn't sell them anymore.

We didn't know what to call this except it was innocence turned into darkness. It was vile and insidious.

And then we came across the story out in Seattle where two King County Superior court judges said we got to clean up the steps outside because there's a lot of debris on the steps.

We're very close to homeless shelters and a lot of people have left behind undesirable evidence of their presence of their presence.

Not that the homeless were undesirable that they were just making a mess of the court house steps. So sure enough the janitorial crew got a power washer.

Everybody knows what a power washers are very very used to power. Yes. I don't own a power washer. I'm good to borrow. I think it cylinders. I don't let's not go there.
