8 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home.

54 The dying shepherd analogy is only a good business model if you see yourself as a sheep. For a weaver, an investor, a chef -- it just doesn't work out. You can ask Glenn Ford; he was in a bunch of sheepherder movies.

56 It's very earthy. Simple subject. Dank colors. Even the green is kinda drab. The overcast sky really adds to the brown-ness of the palette.

For some reason, my favorite detail is the flock of birds in the background. They aren't overly distracting, but they add a sense of life to to really quiet painting.

79 Oh, not French.

Mauve was a leading member of the Hague school, the Dutch counterpart to the Barbizon school of painters in France. He painted everyday subjects drawn from his local landscape in southwest Holland. This work depicts one of Mauve’s favorite and most popular subjects, a shepherd and his flock. Prices varied depending on whether the picture featured "sheep coming," or, as here, the slightly less expensive "sheep going." Vincent van Gogh, who was the cousin of Mauve’s wife, studied with Mauve in the winter of 1881–82, and admired him as "a great interpreter of the fine gray Dutch countryside."

88 I really like this painting for the peaceful scene and the muted, subtle colors. The colors remind me of Andrew Wyeth. The soft, overcast sky gives the feel of the day's end and the herder's posture accentuates that.

I would like to see this up close. When embiggened, the brush strokes are revealed. They are almost coarse compared to the final appearance and the underlying layers of color can be seen. It's an interesting technique.

96 Nice composition on this one. The balance is very pleasing. The raised path that runs down the middle; the flock of sheep in orderly procession contrasts the flock of crows in chaotic flight; the lazy, temperate pace of the farmer; the dog at the ready; and then the one, lone black sheep among the herd.

Posted by: rhennigantx at January 22, 2024

***
The moment in Thomas Harris's novel that sings for me is about halfway through. Clarice has been told about the clue she is following, the death's head moth, that it drinks the tears of large land animals to get a lot of its moisture. As she falls asleep that night, she thinks, Out of this whole world, this world that's dark now, I have to hunt a thing that lives on tears.

(Subtext: Harris means Buffalo Bill/Jame Gumb, the serial killer.) Great great stuff.

151 Reuters: Ford cuts F-150 Lightning production as EV demand softens.

I still maintain that a PHEV is the best path forward with trucks. My hybrid Ford Maverick should arrive by July, because they're still badly backordered due to overwhelming demand.

Now maybe, but 2035 is coming up fast. Only EV's will be sold in California in 2035 and 8 or 9 other states. Automobile manufacturers need to double down on making vehicles with better battery life that can 1) perform in cold weather, and 2) charge faster.

GE built the first commercially successful diesel electric locomotive in 1925. If an electric motor can effectively and fuel efficiently pull trains for nearly 100 years, then it seems that small EV can work as well. I suspect the problem is CVTs--Continuously Variable Transmissions. They don't have a great track record in EVs or ICEs.

the transition would have been a lot smoother and faster if we were all driving hybrids 10 yr ago. The first Prius came out over 20 yr ago! A lost opportunity the government should have promoted more under the Obama administration.

It's light-years ahead of most crime novels in literary quality, but it is disturbing. The same goes for its predecessor, Red Dragon, which is not about giant, fire-breathing, Communist Chinese serpents.

Hertz is selling 20k of its Teslas. It was dumb for Hertz to think people would rent EVs. As anyone who’s ever rented a car at the airport knows, you fill up before returning it. You don’t want to spend an hour at a charging station to do that.

My wife knows a couple with an RV - obviously shitty gas mileage. They had to go somewhere a hundred miles away or so they thought they'd rent a BEV (battery EV) to see what it was all about. Generally positive but standing around waiting for the battery to recharge on the way back was a nuisance after a while.

Probably not. Though both of Harris's famous novels, Red Dragon and Lambs, don't take any delight in serial killers, and treat the murderous antagonists (including Dr. Lecter) not as "misunderstood," but as out-and-out evil.

In the film of Lambs, a cop asks Clarice if the doctors have ever figured out what kind of monster is Lecter. Clarice: "I don't think there's any word for what he is. . . ."

Same reason that battles in the Air were breathlessly covered in WWI. To hide the quagmire on the ground. Essentially trench warfare where Russia is grinding down Ukrainian manpower. At the same time though, Russia has already lost more manpower in casualties in two years than it did in over a decade in Afghanistan in a far smaller army.

The war now resembles Iran-Iraq on the ground where the West and Russia are using it for proving grounds for new tech.

Being around politics for decades, a sense of detachment is better than believing any of them will be the savior of the Republic. Even St. Reagan did some shitty things and LBJ did a few good turns. Ditto for Ike, FDR, etc.

However, I will concede that Biden is probably the worst president ever with the possible competition of Buchanan and Franklin Pierce.

As our country has made Democratic presidents elected tsars, the malignant incompetence of Biden and Obama at governance have essentially squandered America's place in the world and impoverished us at home.

"Let's see how Ron does on the big stage". Matt Gaetz said it but I forgot the context. He knew Desantis probably wasn’t ready.

He should be forced to carry his failed bid to term. Now he'll be free to terrorize Floridians 24/7.

And it's Nikki Haley for the win...for the vice presidential candidate slot, that is.

NBC News theory: one of the main problems DeSantis’ campaign encountered was the loss of billionaire donors over his feud with the Disney.

What a dummy. You can't win fighting Mickey Mouse. Disney is America to millions.

He's now endorsing a man who mocked, defamed, and humiliated him? Who does that remind me of? Ted Cruz? Lindsey Graham? Oh wait, that reminds me of a whole long list of Republican politicians!

Tbh, one of the most disturbing things about Trump is the way he can get people he's treated like dirt to grovel to him. It would be funny if it wasn't so disgustingly gross!

Don't find it surprising a bit. Essentially, left and right don't matter a bit to these people---only power and money and using the system to get more of it matters. You would find similar discussions in the 20's and 30's except the debate was over whether the elites could get more power and money via fascism versus communism. The monied elite like fascism; the ideological types like communism.

we would never do that to a Kennedy

360 I worry not just about Trump, but I worry about RFK Jr. also. I dislike nearly everything about his positions but I could see some hard core leftist taking him out to attempt to save Biden.

I think that social media is now used by our intel community to keep unstable individuals focused on committing heinous crimes. Biden's junta would not think twice about RFK Jr getting killed and using the public reaction to promote gun grabbing laws.

361 Homeland Security had the files, too. Did anyone demand the files from Mayorkas in the impeachment hearing? No. That group does something and then the other group does something. It's all theater. A shi*load of people merely have seats in Congress, per the U.S. Constitution, and who or what of them is doing as they MUST for the betterment of the nation?

363 A shocking poll exposes the utter contempt the elite holds the general public in, with more than three quarters wanting to ration food and energy to combat ‘climate change’ and a majority wanting air travel for holidays banned.

364 This is something I have always wondered: do they think of electric cars like they are dry cell batteries that come from the store with a charge already on them? So they never really grok that the power has to come from somewhere? There seems to be some sort of profound disconnect when they talk about EVs.

The Davos types believe they can Thanos-kill 6.5 billion people and have the same supply chains, the same JIT infrastructure, and the same luxury products available to them (and only to them). I don't know how any of that is supposed to work. I read a congratulatory article recently about how California is destroying their last two major dams and agitating to nuke the Hoover Dam next, which would make much of Cali uninhabitable.

365 I still maintain that a PHEV is the best path forward with trucks. My hybrid Ford Maverick should arrive by July, because they're still badly backordered due to overwhelming demand.

This is fairly reasonable for DU. PHEVs are the best case for the current state of technology. You can do your daily commute with no gas if you can plug it in every night but you still have gas to go long distances, and regenerative braking gets you some extra MPGs.

367 A total of 117 encrypted files were deleted by the corrupt committee on Jan. 1, 2023. The 118th Congress convened on January 3, 2023.

Fox News reveals Loudermilk’s committee was forced to hire a digital forensics team to scrape hard drives to determine what information they were not given. While the data was eventually recovered, they do not have the answers and passwords to access it.

The Georgia congressman sent Thompson a letter requesting he provide him “a list of passwords for all password-protected files created by the Select Committee” so that the committee can “access these files and ensure they are properly archived.”

368 Most recently, a Mavic quadcopter from Ukraine’s Aerobomber unit bombed, with grenades, a tripod-mounted Silok—apparently destroying it.

Add the drone raids on Silok counter-drone systems to the long, and lengthening, list of ironic operations by Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian artillery blasting a Russian counter-artillery radar. A Ukrainian GPS-guided bomb blowing up a Russian GPS-jammer. And many, many examples of Ukrainian drones bombing Russian drone-jammers.
