To Protect And
On the bright side, or maybe not, they weren't wearing brown shirts.
SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco’s police chief said the city’s rank and file will wear neutral face coverings to defuse a controversy after officers sent to patrol a May Day protest wore masks adorned with the “thin blue line” flag. The police union ordered and distributed the masks emblazoned with black-and-white American flag with a blue stripe across the middle. The symbol is associated with the Blue Lives Matter movement, a display of unity among police officers in response to the national Black Lives Matter movement. In an email obtained by KTVU-TV, Chief Bill Scott told his officers Friday he considered the blue flag and stripe “a meaningful expression to honor fallen officers." However, he worried that some may perceive the symbol as “divisive and disrespectful.” A retired civil rights lawyer told the San Francisco Examiner that the masks, which also include the logo for the San Francisco Police Officers Association, violate a long-standing policy that bars police from expressing political opinions while wearing their uniforms.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Endorses Liberal Who Helped Bring ‘Drag Syndrome’ to Michigan
McCarthy is endorsing RINO Peter Meijer in Michigan’s 3rd Congressional district.
Our Founding Fathers must be spinning at the speed of light in their graves. We have surrendered our republic without a shot. Just a whimper here and there.
A Dallas hair salon owner who defied a Coronavirus lockdown order will spend seven days in jail, according to a local news report. The salon owner refused to keep her business closed and defied a direct cease and desist order from Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins in April. “Shelley Luther, a Dallas hair salon owner who opened in violation of the governor’s executive order, sentenced to 7 days in jail for civil / criminal contempt of court and fined $7,000,” CBSDFW reported Andrea Lucia tweeted on Tuesday.
This sounds like a perfect cause for a Go Fund Me Campaign.
Big Tech joined at the hip with Big Government. Just what the hell could happen?
(Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google on Monday said they would ban the use of location tracking in apps that use a new contact tracing system the two are building to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Apple and Google, whose operating systems power 99% of smart phones, said last month they would work together to create a system for notifying people who have been near others who have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The companies plan to allow only public health authorities to use the technology. Both companies said privacy and preventing governments from using the system to compile data on citizens was a primary goal. The system uses Bluetooth signals from phones to detect encounters and does not use or store GPS location data.Call me paranoid, but I don't trust them, not for one minute.
A 5 year old with a wallet and car keys. Parents? Genius Award Winner.
WEBER COUNTY, Utah (ABC4 News) – According to troopers with the Utah Highway Patrol a 5-year-old boy was pulled over driving his parents’ car on the freeway Monday. UHP said a trooper in Weber County initiated a traffic stop on what he thought was an impaired driver. Turns out it was a young man, age 5, troopers added. UHP said he told troopers he left home after an argument with his mom, in which she told him she would not buy him a Lamborghini. He decided he’d take the car and go to California to buy one himself. Troopers said he might have been short on the purchase amount, as he only had $3 dollars in his wallet.
Not sure if Topeka, KS is under dictatorial stay at home laws. Whether or not Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
Ann Darby and her mother, Rebecca Cox, got an unusual alert from their Ring doorbell camera. "It was a guy mowing the lawn on a zero-turn, in dark overalls and a fluorescent shirt," Darby told KSNT. "We assumed it was the city." The next day when Darby's husband called the City of Topeka, they said it wasn't them who mowed Rebecca's lawn. Rebecca is blind, so Ann and her husband have been caring for her at their home in Caney during the stay-at-home order. Ann said they had planned to make the nearly three-hour drive this weekend to mow the lawn themselves, but things have been busy.

Don't get me wrong, I am not a believer that we are in the "end times." I think that's mostly just a scare tactic for desperate pastors. BUT... I rusty on my Bible and know there's people here who are much more familiar with the Book of Revelation.
If you don't mind my asking, what did Revelation list as the plagues that will/would befall mankind?

I know of some people whose driver licenses are up for renewal this month - that type of renewal that goes towards the yellow star: fingerprints and photo.
Yet the DMV is closed, and day after day that they are closed, it is just that many people in queue for when it opens.
Three months of this will be real interesting as they do a quarter's worth of work in less than a month.
yeah, those government drones.
And I'm sure the asshole cops and everyone else that requires a current photo ID will understand.

It's a real bitch for TX govs to issue pardons.
I'm not making excuses for the guy. Gov Abbott could be better in this situation. But the TX governorship is possibly the weakest in the country. You can make a case that the lieutenant governor is in a stronger position than the governor. (And the lt gov gets $7200/yr compared to the gov's six figure salary. Go figure.)

Was in a convenience store this past weekend, and a lady attempted to purchase beer. The clerk noticed that the driver's license was expired and that prompted an explanation of why it had not been updated, that being that the offices are closed. A short while later, the woman with the expired license exited the building, beer in hand.

"And I'm sure the asshole cops and everyone else that requires a current photo ID will understand."
I had my grip on until my registration sticker arrived in the mail yesterday.
Normally I do this much sooner. But the one place in the county that I know of that does state inspections stopped doing them because coronavirus. Well, f*** me. Fortunately one morning I went in and got my truck inspected in another county while I had some time off.
So now that I got that done I went up to the county courthouse to pay the registration fee on the spot and get the registration sticker on the spot. Nothing doing. THEY were closed because coronavirus.
So I paid it online and had to wait on getting it by mail. This part of TX is crawling with DPS all looking for any and every excuse to harass people because they are looking for drugs and to raise money for cash strapped jurisdictions that line the highways. Other cops lurk as well but mainly you see DPS. I was not looking forward to getting stopped by DPS with an expired registration sticker which I'd be driving with, not because I'm a lazy bum who didn't pay the freight, but because a bunch of flunkies don't want to open their businesses and the government wants to drag their feet and sit on their asses. (I have no faith I'd get stopped by a cop who'd be gracious and run the tags and see I paid the money and would say "Yeah, the mail sucks, the courthouse needs to get their heads out of their asses, just do me a favor, will ya? Slap that sticker on there as soon as you get it." No. I'd draw the guy who's having a bad day and needs someone to take out his frustrations on. Make book.)
But I got the sticker, and fortunately that part is done. But what a PITA for something that normally takes less than no effort.

That sentiment is something that I would like to explore.
Here we have abuses after abuses heaped upon us with no end in sight. We have 1033 equipment out in the middle of a desert so that the local retards can roll up a tank and aim crew served weapons at some out-of-work roughnecks who simply want a drink.
We have outlaw judges, mayors, governors, sheriffs, then Houston has a problem with a literal illegal alien female Millennial in the highest elected office letting her inner Maduro loose.
We have lost all of our Constitutional Rights and a significant portion of the country is OK with that and would like for that to be the New Normal.
So I ask this question, in all seriousness. What is the point and purpose of a military at this juncture? China is allegedly making noise about going kinetic and the thought of dispatching a military out to interfere is horrifying to most people.
Its almost universal now the sentiment of nation building, foreign adventures and spending billions of tax dollars defending Saudi Arabia's ability to destroy our petroleum economy.
So what is the point and purpose of having an extremely expensive military that won't defend our borders, won't defend our freedom, and about the only thing they have done is send two Navy hospitality ships to serve as backups to two cities?
The cynic would say that the military exists to support the MIC and to keep our Oppressors safe from any opposition.
Given what plans that have slipped out that they have for this country, what government could possibly be worse - especially considering how much this current one is costing us?
Forced to wear a paper mask, or forced to wear the veil in public... what's the real difference? We pay jizra to the parasites, the courts are utterly corrupt and there is layer upon layer of oppression.
So why have a military? And what is the motivation of any soldier now-a-days because its laughable to say that they are fighting for Freedom - because there is no Freedom.

qdpsteve, I think the name of the song that Samantha Fish is doing on the live vid I'd like you to check out is "I've Got a Spell on You."
Does that sound right? Starts out pretty laid back but the last third or so she really rips it, guitar and vocals.
And there is a live version of Kelley Hunt doing "Queen of the 88's" at a gig up around Buffalo NY, I think.
Trampled Underfoot is another KC based band that is very good.

--------
I went through that when getting a new driver's license, with a an expired passport as one piece of ID.
The guy handling things agreed with, me. He was fairly young, but very respectful. Turns out he was a vet, which I learned because I used my DD-214 as one bit of ID.
Without my thinking about it, he added my Vet status to my license, and told me, "When you come back, just let me know, and I'll move you to the front if line", which he did.
At any rate, his explanation for the refusal of expired documents was simple, it's not illegal to counterfeit an invalid document.

The Moon seems to be made of rocks similar to mantle rocks on Earth. One might expect to find minerals and metals that we find in "magmatic segregation" deposits here on Earth, but not the lighter and/or lower-temperature minerals. So, possibly nickel, copper, possible gold, PGM's. Not so likely, silver, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten, fluorine.
Seems to be a consensus the Moon dust is enriched in Helium 3.
One big problem with mining and milling on the Moon is lack of water. Most mills use water intensively.

Happens. Even Michael Moore has been right a couple of times, first by pointing out that the "white working class people are TeH EVULLL!" narrative was going to cost them dearly in Rust Belt states, and more recently by documenting a bunch of "green" scams.
He's being ripped up by the left for that last one as we speak.

My office is open to return to work. But we have to wear masks in common areas, have hand sanitizer handy, and clean our desks daily.
Or.
I have a very stable VPN and internet service in my house. Granted, a lot of my office mates do not have similar stable services. But. I do. So.
Do I drive 25 minutes to my office, sanitize my desk, have a mask handy in case I have to make tinkles, and make sure nobody is made to be uncomfortable when I cough or sneeze (seasonal allergies)?
Or, do I get up at 8:45, log in, set up, open whatever CAD drawing I'm working on while the Keurig warms up? Pantsless, even.
Needy kitty is not part of the equation.
Guess which route I chose?

My understanding is that reasonably recent threads are more or less monitored for really "offensive" content that could get the boss of bosses in trouble with internet providers, advertisers, etc.
Old threads could get trolled/spammed with really problematic content that could be used to damage the already perilous reputation of the blog, so DO NOT post on old threads (if you like this place)!

Yep.
Somehow after we won the cold war we lost the next war that we didn't even realize we were fighting. And I don't mean the jihadis. Hell the fact we didn't treat AQ and Iraq like Germany/Japan in 1945 shows that even the government didn't see them as a serious threat.

Last I read, no. I don't think that was a cosmic ray, though. I doubt a cosmic ray could be in two places at once, namely in the IR motion sensor that turns on the lights and the camera, and in the camera itself. Unless maybe they use the camera's image capture device as the IR motion sensor, too. My thought: some prankster just out of camera range flicked a cigarette butt into the camera's view field. Big enough, and certainly hot enough to trigger the motion sensor.

I've actually gotten the green-light to go back to the office.
But. There are rules.
Masks in common areas.
Wash hands furiously.
Do not cough.
Do not sneeze.
And so, I am still billable, and productive at home. Where I can pick my nose without judgement. And, of course, work pants-less.

That will be entertaining to see how fast they ditch the "social distancing" theater so that they can create the necessary mobs and show of force.
The House is screwing around pretending that this is Corona Miasma and won't even bother to convene. Not that they are necessary for a Senate blessing, but they will need to do something to create another Impeach 4.0 or whatever to derail the confirmation process and turn it into a global laughingstock as is their wont.

I do wonder about the mental states of the author, editor, and publisher.
My workplace is bringing everybody back in-house. They've imposed the usual rules, however.
Masks mandated when you leave your cubicle/office. (I have a cubicle with walls, but it seems strange to call it an office.) Minimal interpersonal contact; use email instead. No more walking down another department's hallway to get to the break room. In the break room, get your food, then skedaddle back to your work station.
I can handle these, as pointless as they seem. I detest these masks, but I'm treating that as part of the dress code. I'm also putting a dot on the mask for each day of the mandate. Here's hoping it won't look like measles.

More and more I find myself rereading Col Jessup's monologue in A Few Good Men. Whether or not that was sincere or a slam doesn't matter (I've heard both)--the writer spoke truth that resonates.
And I realize all over again how worthwhile it WAS and IS.

Apr. 5: 9,643 deaths
May 5: 71,043 deaths
But those aren't CDC numbers, those are Enemedia numbers.
The Enemedia counts those who died with not only those who died of. Plus many states are counting deaths in nursing homes that have not been tested to be counted as Covid deaths to be Covid tests.
So the numbers are juiced so asshole trolls, "journalists" and politicians can be idiots or something evil and non-productive.
The new method of counting Confirmed that has been adopted this last week, is to count not people who test positive, but to count tests that come back positive. So if someone tests positive, that counts as one, like it always has. But if their job requires them to quarantine until they no longer have it, then that same person might be tested many more times. Each of those tests taken every other day adds to the total numbers of those who are Confirmed.
This dramatically jacks up the numbers by changing what is being compared. Its fraud, but that is what we expect these days.
So what we have now is a shiboleth. If someone is gleefully reporting the juiced numbers, we can immediately recognize them as a seditionist and saboteur and treat them with the usual contempt and disgust they deserve.

Well they do know how to count. Sort of like how Stalin liked to count votes.
Politicians rigged the game to throw large money at entities that "battled Covid", so the game was on to generate those Covid counts to get that sweepstakes money.
Then governors discovered that if you work the numbers right you can prolong the pain and misery for as long as you want.
And the counters complied with that desire and generated schemes to count in a certain way to guarantee a certain desired response.
But for those of you who want correct numbers for the sake of science and posterity - forget it.
You want science here - you got it: Political Science.

True, but one would like to have potential resource areas under control, nonetheless.
I worked on a well in Greenland, on the west coast, just north of Disko Island. There were oil seeps found on the coast north of where we drilled, but the logistics of moving a rig to that location were insurmountable. We drilled through a great many basalt lava flows, and then broke through into clean white sand. There was a puff of gas at each breakthrough, but no continued flow. Eventually, we got below the oldest lava, and it was clean white sand from there on, all cemented tight, with essentially nil porosity. That sand sequence could make one hell of an oil/gas reservoir, but the petroleum would have be there before sand became cemented. You can see tight sands like that offshore in the Gulf, too, you know.

Clergy is probably the most surprising. But think about it, it's a high profile job where charismatic types do pretty well.

Plus, we got help from the French toward the end our of War For Independence from Britain which helped seal the deal at Yorktown. And the French gave us a statue for which some commie bint wrote a poem which now enshrines our immigration policy. We've come to the aid of France in two world wars and also after Dien Bien Phu.
No, the French will get a major exception/carve out from The Monroe Doctrine, even though they look down their Gallic noses at us.

Many meet processing plants are shut down because of the high number of infected workers.
Many of said plants are owned by Chinese corporations and have unsanitary company housing.
When animals are ready to go to market, the rancher/farmer will loose money for every further day that they have to feed the animal with no increase in the price they will get for selling it to the butcher.
After a few weeks, they simply slaughter the animals.
If I could drive a truck, I would be tempted to see if any farmer would consider taking a tax / charity donation for giving the meet to the zoos.
But I can barely drive an SUV - too wide.

On May 1, Brown said some areas of the state could start reopening May 15 but added "physical distancing will remain part of our lives until we have the security of a vaccine or treatment for this disease."
Remember when the justification for the shutdowns was merely "flattening the curve"?
And now Warden Brown admits that the state will shut down until there is "a vaccine or treatment for this disease". And if it turns out that there is no vaccine or treatment for this disease, well, Oregon will just stay shut down forever.

I can tell you the exact day I started to HATE the media.
Oct. 25, 1983.
Beirut Lebanon.
We were still pulling survivors out of the Marine barracks, carefully digging down.
Me and three others had a tunnel going down, carefully removing debris.
I had taken a wheelbarrow of debris away, and came back to see some Female reporter, on camera, standing at the side of our little tunnel, close enough to cause it to cave in and drop debris on my friends.
My best friend Jim, probably saved me from prison, as I was going to kill the bitch, but he PHYSICALLY intervened, and grabbed me.
She, to this day, probably has NO CLUE as to what she was doing.

==============================
Well, it's like this. The penalties for selling alcohol or tobacco products to a minor are so punitive that clerks stick to the letter of the law, which includes the exclusion of expired drivers licenses, expired state-issued ID cards, and expired passports as forms of valid ID. An underaged kid with an expired license is a classic enforcement trap. Corporate policies also include carding everyone under the age of 30. Some require ID for people under 40, and there's a separate enforcement regime for that.

My first revelation came when I was around 11-12 years old. The Vietnam War was the lead topic on the Big 3 nightly 30-minute network news (6:30 p.m. my local east coast supper-time). They used to have a weekly body count summary, either on a Monday or a Friday. Sometime around 1968 or so, I was watching the count one week and noticed it was something like US casualties were 142 or 378 while we killed 5,000 or 10,000 enemy. Now I was pretty good at math in my youth. I asked myself, 'Well, if we're killing 5 to 10 thousand of the enemy a week and 'only' losing a couple of hundred a week, this war should be over'. I may have never heard the word 'attrition' at that age, but I sure understood the concept.
The media has been a gaslighting operation since before I was born. Just ask General Sherman: "I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast."
That 'from hell' list includes Uncle Walter the Commie 'The War is Over' Cronkite, Dan 'The TANG Memo is Real' Rather, and so many, many more.

Fortunately, there is an industrial meats distributor about 350 ft. from my front door.
Renting freezer space, FTW.
I was going to buy a side of beef, suitably post-processing. Yeah, going for the whole steer now, with room left over for deer, pig, fish, poultry.
I'll get the beef in about three or four weeks. First three weeks, hanging in the 32.5 degree fridge, for aging.
Then, as the butcher is able to run it under the knives and saws.
My across the street neighbor's parents run about 6,000 acres in N.E. Texas. Cattle operation.
I'm getting a very nice price on a steer, and it'll be slaughtered right there at their local USDA inspected butcher shop.
China and their onshore/offshore/onshore "processing", can kiss my grizzled, Texas ass.
China is asshoe.
I'm a magnitude of order worse. I'm a Texan, and a mightily angered one, at that.

I was on my way to work. I lived (and still do) in South FC, but worked in Westminster (120th). I listened to Lewis and Floorwax every morning during my long commute. They mentioned a news report that a plane had hit the WTC. then, while I was listening, Rick Lewis said "wait, was that another plane?"

Speaking of the beef price, I see that several state AGs have sent Barr a letter asking for a federal price fixing investigation. While the wholesale beef price has spiked, cattle prices are low and thus there is a huge disconnect.
That disconnect may be explained by the lunacy caused by the shutdown, but I don't know.

Then I noticed that news stories about FOF were false and defamatory. I was in a position to know whether or not they were true.
During that time I participated in several large events that were covered by the media. Even though at one of the events, I personally spoke with the reporter, her description of the event was completely divorced from reality.
For another event, Colorado Springs residents lined Academy Blvd, which is a belt halfway around the city, in support of life and adoption. Miles and miles of people with signs saying things like "Adoption - - the Loving Option." The newspaper made it look like fewer than a dozen were there.

The Jayson Blair "scandal" in 2003, with the four full-page "corrections" on a Sunday, sealed the deal on my ceasing reading the NYSlimes. I remember reading some of Blair's columns, though I didn't know they were his. One I particularly remembered was his story on Jessica Lynch's family. He described being on the family's front porch in West Virginia and looking out over the tobacco fields; he had to get that redneck/hillbilly dig in. Now I have family in West By God and knew damn well there were no fucking tobacco fields in that part of the country. The tobacco fields were in my neck of the woods, Eastern Virginia south of the James River.
I had never heard of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, but I had succumbed to it up until that Jayson Blair corrections point.

South Vietnam was a "terrorist" war.
They called themselves Viet Cong.
Same terrorist tactics, right down to roadside bombs. They weren't called "IEDs" then, but they were.
Just ask what blew Carlos Hathcock off of his M-113, burned him horribly and led to his death, about 20 years later.
The best Counter Insurgency attack, is to melt their sponsor country down into a pre-stone age puddle of post-volcanic slag.

Why hide it?
I'm a Romantic, a poet who hides behind a style of writing that borders on such, a classicist, maybe a bit of the much maligned Renaissance Man.
Far more of a lover than a fighter, and very recluctant fighter, at that.
But once over the tipping point, the blood runs far more cold, than hot.
And that, I think, is the difference.
I'll do what has to be done, and press ahead until it IS.
Yanks in WW1 and WW2 were feared by the Krauts. Not because of bagpipes (Brits), or yells (French).
But because Yanks just pressed on into the attack, silently, remorselessly and effectively.
BE. THE. YANK.

Highest Honor I've ever been paid, was to serve as one of her pallbearers. Even though I was still in a cast from a '98 motorcycle wreck.
I carried her casket from the foot said casket. Best I could do, given my gimp.

Three times, I have looked across the sights of a pistol at another human being.
Thanks be to God, three times, my commands to "drop it" or "freeze" were obeyed. I've never once had to pull a trigger in such an event.
But I'll always remember this. My sight picture was perfect, my breathing was correct, and my situational awareness, including my preripheral, was intact.
I knew exactly where my bullet would impact.
But I'm HAPPY though, that it never was called upon to do so.
That "HAPPY", I think, is what might separate me from the TRUE sociopath?

From the DM article I read, they arranged the sale anonymously, so it wasn't know it was of royal provenance. The pair went for around 50K pounds. But the new owner learned afterwards they belonged to Harry. So I assume he could sell them at quite a premium.
I'm looking at Purdey's web site. The waiting time for a firearm is 18 - 24 months. These things are for aristocratic and wealthy big White Hunter types.
My jaw hangs agape looking at their product.
Many of the comments at the DM were about good that Harry got rid of his evil guns, but boo on Meggie for p-whipping him. Idiots.

She raped him then, on the price of the guns.
We're talking a million pounds, or more, each.
And if your or me was to contract to buy a Purdy?
Somewhere in that process, and it's included in the price of the gun. We're flying to Olde Blighty, on British Airways, First Class.
Hoteled at the finest, and transported by chauffeured Rolls Royce to the Purdy works.
We'll be "fitted" with a "try" gun. And shoot it on their clays courses, until they alter the "fitments" so that we mount the gun PERFECTLY on target, time after time after time, again.
Then they'll fly us home. Where we'll wait another year or so, for the final gun to be shipped to our FFL.
You don't "buy" a Purdy.
It's even beyond "investment". It damn well borders on a marriage, and many a divorce has proved this to be so.

If you're a fan of Mila Jovavich, the movie Ultraviolet is free on Tubi.
It's got a rotten tomatoes rating in the single digits, and not much fan love either, but it squeezed out a profit, somehow.
Shoot, even I, purveyor of cheese, I'm not crazy about it.
It does, however, have a fight scene worth a look due to the insane POV effect which bounces around in an amazing feat of editing, or fx, or something.

Our fascists can't intimidate the crims so they turn em loose to gain a little control. This has three benefits - bad guys owe 'em one, it intimidates the normies, and frees up cells for jailing the normies, punishment for not toeing the line, etc.

There was a time when an older daughter or whomever was designated to care for the decrepit. There are also other cultures where the elderly live with the family and are cared for. Our culture focuses on the earning years from 30-50. You have to make it then or you are in big trouble. Many have large families and can't exactly follow an Alzheimer's patient around ten hours a day.
Everyone thinks the real issue here is wuhan. But I keep seeing nursing homes as the issue. I have heard so many horror stories about that that it is absurd. I have never heard from a single person in the medical field that recommended a nursing home other than as the last resort.

Some commenter said that it may be a side effect of facial Botox injections, which can cause oiliness. So maybe that is what is going on with Herr Half-Whit's face too.

I bet that was a great time! I want to go to Scotland too for the whisky and golf.
I started enjoying cider in London. No doubt beer is more popular there but most pubs also have cider on draft. Today many American bars have cider but I am talking 20+ years ago. When I came back to America I kept asking for cider but no one had it on draft. Then all of a sudden the gluten free thing started and people started to ask for cider.
I know in the UK and Spain they have crap cider that the under age types get plastered on. But those two countries also have some of the best cider in the world. I believe the UK is still the largest cider consuming nation by a long shot.
If you really want to try some high end stuff, go for an English farmhouse cider, a French farmhouse cider from the region they make Calvodos, or a Spanish traditional cidre. The English stuff is hard to get, I am talking the real stuff. Even the Crispin Brownslane is ok to try "dry cider". It is not as good as it used to be but it will give you an idea of the style.
The French stuff is really good stuff. Try a bottle of Ettiene Dupont. It is not more than $12 a bottle and it is very much worth it. It is still sweet but you get the barnyard funk that comes with artisenal French cider. It is well worth trying.
The Spanish stuff is really another world. I am talking the Basque and Asturian traditional cider. They have been making this stuff the same way for over four hundred years and likely longer than that. Now this stuff is very much an acquired taste. If you like sour beers you might like it. This stuff is not just dry, it is sour. But you can taste the hundreds of years of cider apples and the history. The USA is just starting to grow cider apples again as the product is not popular. They tore down the cider trees during prohibition.

so true. I was once visiting a friend of the family and the other lady in the room kept asking for help. No one came but she kept asking with the microphone. I went by here and say blood on her sheets. I lit into the nurse who was manning the booth as it were. The entire thing was sad really.
i have heard a lot of stories from people in the field. And you are right for sure that the number one issue is for the patient to have an advocate on their ass all time. And yes, many don't have an advocate, what about them?

anytime my man. I like to advocate for things I am passionate about. Cider is one of those things. I have told the story here before that Johnny Appleseed would have been considered to be a bootlegger by today's standards. He wasn't planting those apple trees so kids could give an apple to the teacher. Apples were for cider and cider meant hard cider. Only in America do you have to say "hard cider" to mean the boozy stuff. They got rid of the cider apples during prohibition and made a market in eating apples.
Early Americans like the Founders loved cider. They had little luck with wine grapes and had to go with what worked here. There is a John Adams quote about yesterdays, bread, today's cheese, and last year's cider. I can find it a the moment and I realize quotes are kind of shaky in general.
Posted by: Quint at May 06, 2020 06:39 AM (hHxp2)
Sometimes I run into old farmsteads that have been reclaimed by the forest. It would be interesting to see what kind of apples were growing, but that would be a huge amount of work to get the trees to put out fruit again.
There is a spot in western NH where someone maintains the trees, probably for bear hunting.

However, two months in I have seen a change in her. She suffers and has suffered from depression for decades. She's starting to crack emotionally. Almost 2 months of only seeing nursing staff and aides and this week her doctor. Meals have been delivered to her apartment for the last 6 weeks. She's allowed to walk in the halls wearing a mask and if the weather is good she go out on a balcony or outside.
I haven't seen her since the lockdown. When I spoke to her nurse on Sunday after she had a bad night the nurse told me she is seeing this in other residents. They miss their loved ones, their friends, their lives. What's the answer, I don't know. By and large the deaths in OH are in her age group. Is living like this really living? I hope they can find a way to ease things a bit. Maybe allow one family member in if they are masked and gloved after a temperature check. Mom's anti depressant is being increased and hopefully it will help. But it's not the answer to what is happening.

Oh they're black. But they're also the type that will look down on other black people. If Michelle were a lighter complexion they would certainly be the type to use the "brown paper bag" association standard. I can even remember the first time I saw that. In the late 90s Sinbad had a sitcom and it was on the tv for some reason and there was an episode that had that in. All I could think was, "there are people that do that? That's fucked up."

Basically black on black racism. If your skin tone is darker than a brown paper bag then you're no good or whatever. I think I'm the Sinbad episode it was about joint some black country club and the daughter had learned it and the son was darker and so he wasn't good enough.

"Historically black colleges and universities have been experts at distancing themselves from painful elements of their cultural past. One of those elements — the brown paper bag admissions test.
Propagated as urban legend but a real practice for some of our most reputable HBCU campuses, light complexion was once an admission qualification for college enrollment, and fraternity and sorority membership. The best candidates were as light as or lighter than the hue of a brown paper bag, ruler or other inanimate object brought to life with the task of adjudicating ethnic acceptance."

Texas is still a Red State but I wonder how long that will last. As a native Texan I have my issues with the place. In some ways the lack of state control bit them in the ass. The cities are all deep blue. Not some of them, but all of them. San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin, etc are all deep blue. And those cities have power the state government should have reigned in long ago. That was a tactical error.
If we lose Texas the whole thing is over really. The states that really piss me off are Kentucky and PA. Why did they vote Trump but still keep voting Dem? Are they stupid?

You can see how they did at Waco and Ruby Ridge and make your own decision. I know there is a hot video on Waco but I still recommend, Waco, Rules of Engagement. It came out long ago and I bet the new one brought out very little new info.
I respect the cops in general. But those who want to be military should just raise their right hand and be done with it. They are not the military and Americans are not the enemy.

The government has deemed my business non-essential so I'm winding it down (at least as far as employees go) so I really don't care anymore what I say to clients. Yesterday I was talking to one in Massachusetts and the discussion turned to the protests at the state house. I told him that was all well and good but that nothing was going to change until a bit more force was applied by the protesters on the elected officials. Much to my surprise this client agreed and followed up with "I need to get my big guns back from my son". I was very surprised and quite happy by that response.

nothing has happened in Mexico - a few people got sick, a few less died. Just like every other flu season, nothing more.

One was "provisional death count" (39,000) and the other was "confirmed and probable death count" (68,000).
You can guess which one the media has been running with the entire time.
29,000 "probable" deaths, apparently.

whenever I think about Harris County I think about Urban Cowboy. It was not long ago but that Houston is dead and buried. I won't say more as I don't want to aggravate anyone. It is not just Houston it is happening everywhere. We kept talking about the theory of lefty dominance but at some point it actually happened and the theory became real.
Trump might win again, but even if he does the opposition and resistance will only go up ten fold. If Trump is the only one willing to fight, why is that? We normals have given up so much. There was the idea of a lefty take over but then it actually happened. The Trump win was almost an anomaly from my stand point. I want to see small government, maximum liberty folk winning on a regular basis.

"Whenever you're chasing a story that's developing, there are threads that emerge. Focusing on first responders has been important for us because they are on the frontlines, and it's important we're showing the reality of the situations they are in every day," she said.
"We've always been driven by the news and want to provide context and clarity on the important stories of the day," Miller said.
