Quote I This time will then go down in history as the period in which the invader was actively invited in by a corrupt elite. And, not only did corrupt elites invite the enemy in, they made the native population pay for it too. Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek
Quote II “While a route through this week’s motion of no confidence was absolutely possible, I am not willing to trade my values and principles or do deals with whoever simply for retaining power… I have concluded that repairing our relationship across the political divide can only be done with someone else at the helm.” Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf

Once upon a time I purchased a particular breed of dog to be used for hunting. I did my research and I bought a puppy from a respected breeder. Of course the Murphy's have nothing over my surname. I took this wild and belligerent dog to a nationally known trainer for a month. After two weeks I received a call telling me I should come pick up my dog and that I probably should put it down.
At that time, there were not an abundance of "Rescue" facilities. And I certainly just couldn't euthanize this hound from hell. She wasn't mean or vicious. She just ran and ran and ran when off leash or outside a fenced yard. I won't get into thunder storms or fireworks. So The Fabulous and I were blessed with this pooch until the sweet age of 15+. Now that I got that out of the way it brings us to the story about South Dakota's governor Kristi Noem. I'm not saying what she did was wrong to her dog. But, I sure as hell wouldn't have told the world I killed a dog that wasn't on death's door.
Kristi Noem's Vice President odds crash after she admitted killing her dog in a pit while her kids were at school

Being overweight is not healthy. The medical term is not the problem. The problem is with people who do not accept reality.
UCLA medical school is under fire for forcing students to attend ‘health equity’ classes where ‘fat positivity’ is promoted, and reading material claims that the medical term ‘obesity’ is a slur “used to exact violence on fat people.”

Years ago, my Sister and BiL (and their kids) had a dog (on their farm, they had MANY dogs over the years), that kept getting out and running with other dogs in their area (very rural, 5-6 miles to the nearest town at least, etc).
My BiL was out in his truck one evening, and saw the dog pack, running loose (there were rumors and more than rumors, of livestock, chickens killed). He saw HIS dog, and knew he was up to no good. And he shot him.
My BiL and sister, as I said, had MANY dogs over the years, and he did love dogs (and they loved him). But sometimes a dog just goes feral, goes bad, is dangerous to people and livestock, and you have to put him down. And the hills around their house are full of coyotes, too. You can hear them at night.

What I’d really like to see is the college or university that gets the funds from the student loan has to guarantee the loan. If the student stops paying, the school has to pony up the remainder.
I bet we’d see a lot of degree programs get shrunk or canceled, because of the risk of default to the school from the graduates getting jobs asking “Would you like fries with that?” Well, at least until those are automated into oblivion….

In order for her to betray me, I have to place trust in her, which I have never done. She's been a tolerably good Governor of a Red State, and that is the extent of my interest in her. I also know she's made some glaringly bad decisions. Shooting a dog that went on a chicken-killing spree was a necessary, if distasteful, act. Writing about it in a book at this stage of her career was a dumb move.

The neighbor lady's German Shepard did also. Completely undisciplined with the owner but I've finally gotten her to behave (a bit) when she is on leash. No, not the neighbor, the GS.

Yep. There is shit that people understand you simply don't talk about. And me I have a big stupid mouth myself which has taken me decades to rein in, but that's why I'm not a politician.
Democrats (and Trump, sorry) seem to understand inherently that politics is about feels and you get to the feels with mental imagery. Which is why every news story and lie paints a very specific picture. Remember Trump violently "lunging" and grabbing the steering wheel from the hapless working class driver? A focus grouped mental image.
Noem gifted Democrats with a picture that typically fucks Republicans in an election year. People don't make the leap to "doing hard thing" they just see Heartless Stepford Wife Puppy Killer, which just happens to be the picture Democrats are constantly trying to paint of us. Thanks Krispi.

With their pulse jet engines the V-1s were very fast. So the tactic was to put the fighter in a dive, anything from a Spitfire to a P-61, to gain overtake. Then either shoot the V-1 down with gunfire, one P-61 got scorched in the follow up explosion from such an action. Or they would put a wing tip under a V-1 wing tip and tip the buzz bomb over due to upsetting the gyroscope.

In fact, Harvard-Harris (today) & CNN (weekend) both show Trump's numbers UP slightly from their previous polls last month.
If DEMs think these show trials are their magic bullet to re-elect Biden, I'm skeptical about that.
Also, Trump's campaign appearances, while he's required to stay in NYC, have been truly masterful, imo.

You're making an interesting point. Serious question: As POTUS, was Trump really as boorish and mean as the press made him out to be? You can point to his comments about Fiorina during the primaries, perhaps, but was there really - really - anything he said as POTUS that says to you 'this guy is too much of a bully to be President'? I'd say that 99.9% of those stories were media embellishments and editorializations of out-of-context Twitter comments, at best.

They fed the Germans false information that the missiles were falling short of London. It worked. The Germans adjusted their very crude targeting system,* & the missiles started to fall west of London-- in open fields, mostly. When that happened, Double Cross reported that the V2s were now right on the money.

All anyone, including a number on our side, has to do is watch one of Trump's live roundtables he did as president. No matter the subject, even his "opponents" who sat at those tables all came away with the same impression. That he listened, understood, and provided novel solutions.
No president in memory has ever done anything even resembling those roundtables. Not off the cuff and without a script like Trump did. Absolutely remarkable. I don't think anyone could watch him at those with a remotely open mind and come away with the caricature impression of Trump, whether on intellect, articulation or temperament. The guy is incredible.

The free dog loved to hunt. He would point and flush like a champion. Unfortunately, he would do this 200 yards away from my buddy. For whatever doggy reason, he could not grasp that he needed to stay near his human. Running him on a long lead may have worked, but this is not practical on a 45 degree, sagebrush-covered chukar slope. After the dog had ruined a few hunts, our hunting party unanimously volunteered to apply the Noem solution to it. Alas, the kids liked this dog too.

Big big problem is the 100th was assigned to the 8th AF in England. The fighters of the Tuskegee Airmen were assigned to the 15th AF in Italy.
The only time the 100th might have crossed paths with them was during one Operation Frantic mission after D-Day that also resulted in the most successful attack by the Luftwaffe against the 8th AF when German bombers struck the Russian airfield at Poltava destroying B-17s and P-51s in a night time attack.

Like I’ve seen many times before, a butterfly swung by and then landed and was doing the same thing - soaking up some rays for a few minutes. But this time, it just seemed different.
I got to wondering. How long does a Butterfly live? Can’t be more than a few months, and that’s if they are lucky. How short is a summer day, when you only get one summer?
It’s hard to explain, but for some reason it made me feel almost guilty for being human, and living for decades. Or at least regret at squandering all those hours in my life. What would it be like to live such a compressed time frame, or would this be moot.

We all have to buy Septic Safe toilet paper because of the mandated, ill designed septic systems that are foisted upon rural folks. So, the gum mint. Designs a crappy system and to cover that instead suggesting that people with a "modern" septic system should buy appropriate paper they mandate manufacturers to make ALL Toilet Paper SEPTIC SAFE.
Posted by: Braenyard at April 30, 2024 12:04 AM (lCWOD)
I have never run into this issue. The TP sold in stores here in AZ does not bear any "septic safe" logos that I have ever noticed. It's all cellulose pulp. I thought the "septic safe" designation was reference to lack of scent or anti-bacterial additives.
My Alberta house is on septic, and I have never used any special TP with it.

First, that's some good weed you got.
Second, probably the best anime series of the past year was Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. It's your thought, from the other direction.
A Tolkienesque world: Humans have normal lifespans, Dwarves live a few hundred years, and Elves are functionally immortal. A team of two humans, one dwarf, and one elf have just saved the world from the demon lord. The heroics are already in the past, so the story is about how Frieren, the elf, deals with the butterfly-like lives around her.
A literal translation of the Japanese title, Sousou no Frieren, would be "Frieren attends a funeral." ...../spoilers.

There is also one suspended from the ceiling at the Air Force Museum at Wright - Pat outside of Dayton. Seen it many times.
I have actually been to Charles Kettering's house, which is a museum with limited access. He was something of a genius. He started a company called Dayton Electric Company, which was known as Delco. GM bought it, and he was put on the board of directors at GM.
He had an observatory attached to his house, and there was a runway in back for his own plane.

I bought a Labrador that came out of well respected bloodlines. I got the "worst" dog in the litter because I wasn't deemed good dog worthy. Turned out she was hunting/field trial pick of the litter. After spending time around the competitive field trail people I pulled out of that because of the brutality they visited on their dogs. After that MollyDog and I had many great adventures hunting grouse around the western US and more than a few lovely nights snuggled up to each before a fire snacking on that day's grouse together. She never mentioned if she missed the competitive trials and I never asked. I think we were both far better with off with how things worked out.

One such job was to wake up brothers for their morning classes. (We all slept in a big room, so alarm clocks were out of the question.)
The House Boy went around to wake up guys according to a schedule they posted outside the room..
Just in case, he would leave a Coke bottle on an open window, reserved for brothers who wrote that they HAD to get up, but didn't. In that case he'd pull off your covers and shove that bottle down into your underwear.
You got up, every time.

Good point. Title says, "Walrus dies from bird flu on Arctic island: Researcher" but you dig deeper into the article and you see this: "'It is the first time that bird flu has been recorded in a walrus,' Lydersen said."
The assumption is it killed the walrus, but no proof other than it was in the walrus' system.

Slept okay Sunday night, but only five hours last night. The cold is still hanging on and I'm still coughing more than I should be after a week. I was thinking yesterday I could have a pipe this morning and even packed one. But if I'm still coughing like a gassed WWI soldier (okay, I exaggerate . . . but not by much), it may not be a good idea.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at April 30, 2024 02:54 AM (omVj0)
I think I'm gonna pack it in too. I've got my barometer on the new weather station's relative (altimeter) pressure setting calibrated pretty well, I think. It was tracking well with the local airports all day. I'm gonna call that good.
I noticed nobody much bothers with that with the local weather stations around here. Some don't even bother, and some just use some willy nilly value without bothering to check.
For that reason, never pay any attention to a given value of a local barometer's relative pressure. Just look at the changes. The changes track well with reference airports.

It has been my experience that when stepping off into thin air one finds that the air is stiffer than you realize. If your finances, including taking social security at this point, are viable today, I would ask yourself how much more viable are they going to be a year from now? I can't answer that question nor should I even begin to go down that rabbit hole. The other issue to consider is time itself. You're never going to have more; all things being equal financially the question is how do you wish to spend your time? I still think he answered your own question and sometimes it's no more complicated than that.

There's nothing illogical about house prices falling, but it does depend on the area. Research your zip code(s) well (where you're selling and where you're buying).
The idea of making money while you can is of course valid, but your comment about being worn down until there's nothing left is scary to me, which is why I vote for retiring (knowing absolutely nothing about your economic readiness).
Part of me luxuriates in the luxury of normalcy, because I don't know how much longer it will last.

Miley, I wish you hadn't put it quite that way! I don't think I'm completely out of the race of life! (Yeah, I know what you meant. Thanks.)

Again, you've answered your own question.

There. That's *my* opinion. Per request.

No family, and I don't know anybody there. It's generally a red state except for Indianapolis and Gary, I think, and 2A friendly. It's reachable in a two-day drive from here, and I was planning to do that and look it over in person in early June.

You're starting to reach the point of analysis paralysis. It sounds like you got enough money, that you are absolutely ready to fly the coop, and you have a destination and a plan to get there.
Do you really want to retire or do you like being miserable more??

I was holding her in my arms at the screen door yesterday so she could look out at birds at a higher level, and I was amazed at how well-proportioned her head and ears are. A little thing, but it struck me.

New Orleans, which I call Da Swamp. I've lived here most of my life with a couple of years elsewhere, and I've disliked the place for a long time.
As different as possible would be Arizona, but the Californians have driven up the prices there already, along with much of the West.

I quit my job to take care of hubby. Maybe not the best idea, but was about to get terminated for being gone so long. Used up all fmla. Used up all pto. Took 6 months unpaid loa... thinking hubby would pass away, then I would go back to work.
Nope. Hubby lives! Yay! But now no job. He gets SS and it's not quite enough to get by. I've sold my property & we'd been supplementing with the proceeds. We each have modest 401ks.
Not the Golden Years we had envisioned, way back when, but now we're getting by!

It probably would be. But the cheapest house for sale on Realtor there now is about 33% more than I think I can pay.

Ah, well, there's another good reason to retire now: a better chance to get out before hurricane season hits again!

I'm the least qualified to give advice on retirement as I wanted to retire a bit ago but I'm still working about 10 hrs a week at a job I've had for 35 yrs, as of Apr 15. From what I remember you posting I think you're maybe a bit younger than me, I'm 68.
Just do what seems right to you. My Jules has wanted me to quit completely but I'm happy w/ the way it is now. Sure it sounds like Miss Linda has an opinion that you might consider but the choice is yours.
Too many unknown variables involved to give advice. But something I read a while ago has since stuck in my mind.

Es gibt mehr von uns, als Sie denken.....(sinister chuckle). And some of us know...Dialects...as well as Hochdeutsch! (musical sting, followed by more sinister chuckling)
Let me introduce you to a little gem called Swabian. (Tie him down and use the eyelid extenders - yes, like in Clockwork Orange -mein Gott, Klaus) And then we'll try a treat called Kölsch, spoken by roughly 250,000 people inside of Cologne, or Köln, as it's known locally. We'll fortify you with some Ebbelwein from Franfurt am Main where you'll have the chance to pick up Hessische.
And there are so many, many more... (sinister chuckle echoes in the surrounding, terrifying darkness. "It's all a matter of Kultur, mein Freund. Kultur!" Lightning splits the evening sky as the dialects...continue....

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius,
The post retirement scuffle job is as much about the job as it is about getting to talk to people. One benchmark I use in evaluating my life right now is that once I went into this retirement mode, my entire life turned into a big goddamn Mulligan where I've been able to redefine myself and do whatever I want. Wolfis I understand your trials and tribulations but man I'm telling you there's a great happiness out there waiting for you.

Not forgetting Berlinsch!
Accents are funny, too. Some Germans can immediately spot kids who first learned German at Baylor because they were taught by a prof from Scotland and thus speak German with a Scottish accent. (The flip side of that is that I kept making my Old English professor crack up because I speak OE with a German accent.)

I've thought exactly the same thing Miley.
Hope all is going well w/ publius' Mom. I just learned my Dad damaged a car in the parking lot of his favorite tavern and didn't know it. Yikes.

Note that just about every place to apply for a job is called “careers”, because people simply don’t want to acknowledge the difference.

The Lottery. We did that in our one act play showcase.
I directed Rise and Shine - my bestie at the time was the winner of The Lottery and got stoned.
