5 Thanks. I appreciate that Same to you. I do remember the message and will be delivering it today and tonight. I am glad I do not have to go anywhere tomorrow, because after four services since Thursday my old bones will be worn out. I am grateful for FenSpouse and son who have been a great help getting things ready at the church.

8 No local news to report other than a 12 and 14 year old were killed in a hit-and-run Friday night in an East bay ghetto.

Because in Joe Biden's lawless America you can kill a kid, or two kids, and just walk away.

True about the mess.
Puppy isn't sure what to do with all the toys yet since he's never had more than a stick or leaves before.

Thankful for house and heat!

16 Wow. My No. 9 . . . did I really write such good coherent thoughts at this point, not coffee'd enough and barely awake yet? "Hey, boy, you ever thought-a bein' a writer?"

Anyway: The Killer Kittens, whom I may rename until Tuesday the Christmas Kittens, are up and hungry. Big black Stirling tried to wake me ninety minutes ago, but I foiled him, never mind how. Little Dagny the Forest Feral is what she is.

Miss Linda and I are going out to our favorite diner for breakfast -- they are open until 2:00. Then she wants to go to Mass at 11:00 tonight. I don't want her walking at that hour down to the church, so I'll need to drive her; and if I do that, I might as well attend the service too.

17 It was absolutely beautiful here yesterday, sunny, clear and warm. Boy. F. and I hiked 5 miles to Chinatown and had a traditional Jewish lunch of har gow, xiao long bao, shrimp rice noodle, and Mongolian beef. Chinatown was teeming with people shopping for Christmas, it was good to see.

21 Ben Had,
Well, no choice in the food switch since I'm not sure exactly what he was eating before. He seems to be tolerating it ok att things considered. He is still very whinny, did ok in the kennel after whining for about 30 minutes.

33 Most of my cats have adoptees one way or another -- SPCA, local shelter, one who leaped into my car, etc. I've never had one that came from a rescue situation that I know of. All took to toys almost immediately and never stopped playing.

Chekov D. Siberian was an exception, sort of. He came from the same breeder as the late Tatiana and the new Dagny. He hid under the bed, coming out mostly for food and litter box breaks, for a couple of weeks; but once he concluded he was among good humans, he trotted out and began playing and romping. It was just the horrible shock of the change from the home he'd known for more than two years to a new one with no other cats, I guess.

Thank you, Fen. I had in mind we'd go to the 6 pm service as we have in the past. Staying up until well past midnight (no matter how clear it might be, heh heh) is not something I do very often nowadays. Oh, well.

I love the way the church looks and is decorated every day, let alone for Christmas. Somehow the sculptor who did the Nativity scene in, I guess, about 1/3 scale, gave even the animals distinct personalities. The camel looks smug, as if he knows he's in on something truly big and can tell his friends and family about it for years to come.

40 ~~I stole this cat from a neighbor~~

I, um, unknowingly presumed that Cat was a lost- or stray animal. We'd had *many* new, unknown cats appear around the same time he showed up. He looked scruffy and dirty, so figured he was one of many what get dumped here along the far edge of town.

OOoops! But 'his people' understood, and were glad that he's happy and cared for, here. So now he lives here. Cat's choice.

55 Morning Horde. Happy 4th Advent morning quickly followed by Christmas Eve. Our lack of heat at church was fixed by renting a diesel powered unit that sits outside and pumps heat into church. A toasty 70 when we left church mid-afternoon yesterday, the poinsettias and elderly will survive. I'm sure there will be a bit of complaining about the smell, get over it people it's currently 19 degrees outside.

67 55 Friends of mine, part time real estate types listed a church. A small Russian orthodox church consolidated with another due to the congregation dying off. Friends asked me to come with them and give the place a look over for obvious needed repairs. The heating was an ancient oil fired boiler in a separate out building and probably required somebody to tend it when in use. No thermostat in the church. Friends commented on lack of pews and I 'splained old Russian orthodox is SRO. There was electric lighting, but still had oil lamps in place, I guess for use during services.

Stolen cat NOT
We had the same experience once that we know of. Black cat, with a nasty facial wound, very friendly and got on with our cats (at the time all were inside/outside). Took him to the vet, no chip and already neutered. Lived mostly with us, even slept on our beds at night. Long story but turns out he belonged 3 doors down on the other side of the street. Once in a while he'd go home. After we had him for many years and we could tell he was in old age at about 17, one day I let him out, he went home and we never saw him again.

Once when maintenance people were here before I got home and he slid out -- but when I stood outside calling him, he came racing back. Another time I accidentally left the screen door ajar while I was working on my car, and turned back to see him sprawled on the walkway outside, just enjoying the sunlight. He didn't want to leave, just wanted a change of scenery now and then.

It is all about keeping the grift going. That is why they did not like the Tea Party, Trump, Mille(sp?) They do not look at the system and say 'I want to bring down this whole rotten edifice.' They think 'I want my cut. I want to funnel this money to my guys. We need to coopt this and we can become the Man behind the Curtain.'

That is why I think the thing with Ukraine cut so far across 'ideological lines'- because it wasn't about claimed ideology- it was about revenue streams and they all had their beaks in it.

One note: I think there is a very small subset of the Ukraine drones who are just cold war geeks. This is like a war game to them.

Richard Fernandez (Wretchard) once wrote about watching the passing of the WW2 generation; he compared it to us watching an army marching along a river, away from us, and coming to a bend. They can see around the bend but we can't, and some turn back and wave just before they go round, seeming to beckon us to follow.

||While this new discovery still has a lot of secrets to reveal — why the property was abandoned and how long ago, for example — Russo believes there is one mystery archaeologists could perhaps solve: The identity of its owner, likely a Roman senator.

“The person was so rich they could afford to import such precious elements from across the empire to decorate this mansion,” Russo said. “We have found nothing so far to shed light on their identity, but we believe more research might enable us to pinpoint the noble family.”

Russo and her team aim to open the space to the public in early January. “We (will) continue to dig the other layers and areas of this evocative place (to try to discover more),” she said. “It is really an incredible display of Roman luxury.”||

257 It's been raining here since around 5 and supposed to rain for another couple of hours. Dog is neutral on the subject of getting wet in the rain but she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES being toweled off when she comes in the house.

The last two times she went out I think it was just so she could get dried off when she came in. She particularly likes it if I drape the towel over her head.

Strange pooch.

When paclitaxel was first discovered in 1962, it was found to be very powerful. But supplies were very limited, as it would kill a Pacific Yew tree to extract it.

Several research groups tried to make it in the lab. It was a very complex molecule. The Scripps research group, led by K. C. Nicolaou and a team of EU post docs started late, but moved fast. Until the 1994 World Cup in LA. His team deserted him, and he was beyond distraught.

They finally came back, completed the 78th step, and he was the first published. Another group had succeeded another way, and was the first to be accepted for publication. A photo finish, but Nicolaou is better remembered today.

Since 1994, 5 other groups have made the molecule, and your drug has been tweaked by chemists to be more effective, with less side effects. That effort goes on today. I think they can add something to make it have less side effects.

It is a success story of synthetic chemists. And where the billions spent on fighting cancer were most visible.

Will. Stubborn beyond reason. After the early Gallic sack the city (except for what was on the Palatine Hill) had been almost completely destroyed. They evidently discussed moving to Veii (an etruscan city like... 10 miles north of rome) that they had defeated a few years prior- which was a ghost town and was in a very defensible position. There was an anecdotal story about the Senators debating in the ashes of the forum when a guard patrol stopped and the leader called out 'We might as well stop right here.' The Senators heard it clearly and took it as an omen and immediately decided they were not going anywhere.

If the roles were reversed, the donks would have implemented such a system decades ago.
