I am thoroughly enjoying the week by week videos about the Lesbian Star Wars show.

Those idiots put the hot guy with muscles in this last episode, because people on the set said they should put the hot guy with muscles in more episodes... and make him take his clothes off.

In other words, gay female showrunner was being advised by gay male grips and craft services people to show more beefcake... even though NOBODY who would want to watch that insipid show wants to see that.

It should gain energy after it crosses back into the Gulf. At this point the eye isn't expected to make landfall again until Monday morning. Who knows what it will look like between now and then. I'm keeping a tight watch on it cuz I live in the region it may hit. If I get flooded I'm moving in with you.

37 Looks to me like that fox is filling out with good food and play. There was a domestication experiment in Russia, I think, where they took gray foxes, allowed the most easygoing ones to breed, and in an astonishingly short time -- three generations, maybe? -- they had domesticated foxes that were as companionable and trainable as dogs. This is a red fox, but the qualities must be in there somewhere.

39 We had a possum that frequented our cat's food. He was getting pretty old. I started to put out a bowl just for him. He'd come up on the porch, eat and just chill with us and the cats.

Poor guy died in our side yard. I think he may have been poisoned, or more likely ate something poisoned.

I salute you, Mr. Possum. 👍

40 Back to the homeless thread. I noticed an underpass here near the U of A changed its landscaping. It used to be smooth dirt and there were a number of people living there. They changed it to medium sized rocks ('cause that's only kind of landscaping around here - rocks everywhere). And so there's no longer flat places to sleep.

Actually, the conclusion they reached... and the study went back to the 40s, was that foxes just aren't going to be domesticated anywhere near what dogs are, unless and until you put a millennia or two into the breeding program.

The foxes would NOT socialize with humans the way dogs do, and when you have them inside your house, they shit on everything, no matter how hard you try to train them.

My late big black cat Wolf, before he was abandoned and I took him in, encountered an opossum. Miss Linda said the cat looked at the opossum, the opossum eyed the cat, and then they turned and went their separate ways. Wolf was a healthy eater and good hunter. If he didn't go after that marsupial, it was because he didn't think it was worth the attempt. "Eat that? Hell no."

And opossums are as big as your average cat. Maybe they don't seem like prey. Or maybe they just don't smell like food.

What's horrible is that Heigl's career has suffered, due to the fact when she was a teenager, her mother watched over her like a hawk, and wouldn't let the predators in Hollowood get their greasy paws on her.

If you want to succeed in Hollowood you gotta do what dames like Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence do.

El gato malo on his substack commented that the incentive is to always predict the worst hurricane season ever every year. If you're wrong, well it's just forgotten. If you predict a mild hurricane season and you're wrong, then that's the end of your career. It's all upside to predict doom and downside to predict normalcy.

Posted by: Skip at July 05, 2024

***
I used to see them frequently in Denver. They ran in and out of the enclosures at the zoo, for instance. And one chilly morning I drove up to work out at Red Rocks Park in the western suburbs. A red fox was sitting on the far side of the narrow road. I pulled over and watched him. He seemed utterly unconcerned that my car was there, and sat, peering intently around. Then he wheeled and trotted off on his fox business.

I blipped the horn at him, which chases most animals, especially birds. He didn't move. I drove carefully past him, and could still see him, unmoving, in the driver's side mirror.

109 Yes, dealing with a sick wild animal is never a good idea -- either sick or injured, as in the latter case they will be in pain. The young heron that Miss Linda saw staring balefully at her outside her condo a week or so ago had a wild dinosaur-ish vibe, probably sick, and she carefully left it alone. A day or two later she saw its body on the grass. She still left it for the grounds people to cart away.

The possums and raccoons here co-existed with my outside cats with never any trouble. In fact some of the baby raccoons grew up with the kitties and got on very well. We only have one outside cat now, Mr Grey, and no raccoons at this time.

The event is an annual tradition that started in 2005 with tickets now costing $20.

Most years, about 6 vehicles are launched off the cliff however reports say they had about a dozen for this year's celebration.

Vehicles take off from one of two runways: One has a monorail and the other is freewheeling.

Most cars are launched with a piece of wood wedged against the gas pedal.

Sort of, Hello, do I know you? I said Hello back. He went into the front gardens--so actually between me and the house--and wandered back and forth, looking up frequently as though to say Hi, finally came close to say good-bye and left for the back meadow.

The foreman of our job had arrived by that time. I went to his pickup and said, Is that common? He said, Never seen it before in my life.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at July 05, 2024 05:38 PM (omVj0)

Somewhat sociable. They had a way to test it, by releasing the animal into a room with a human sitting inside concentric circles. They were able to measure how far into the circles the foxes got, how long it took them to get there, and how long they stayed.

They were slow to get somewhat close, and didn't stay long, in contrast to dogs, who immediately went into the inner circle with tail wagging.

I know this because the animal-lovers went South for the winter and the poor confused animals were looking for humans to feed them.

Also, I call fake on the fox video. Probably used to being fed by those home-dwellers and therefore knew exactly where to go. If I open the door when a critter comes up on the deck, it flees until it recognizes me.

Tester has never won 50% of the vote. Each of his 3 wins were very close with the so called Libertarian candidate getting more than his winning margin.

Imagine that! Almost as if Democrats keep funding these candidates to siphon off Republican votes. Why don’t Republicans ever do the same? Fund some Green candidate to siphon off 1% of the vote. Because the GOP has no idea how to win nor do they really care to win.

195 I just now watched Old Joe's Wisconsin performance on utoob. He is not who he was even six months ago. He is now deeply wedded to the prompter. He looks a long time at one screen before he shifts to the other. Occasionally he looks directly into the camera and says a brief sentence; I have little doubt TPOTUS tells him to do it hoping he can remember the brief sentence. He lapses into the mouth agape, not-all-there look during brief pauses, when TPOTUS likely tells him to pause for applause and cheering. His now only 5-10 minute speeches are nothing but a recital of "15 million jobs, biggest climate bill in the history or the world, yada, yada" and increasingly nasty personal attacks on Trump. Sad and frightening.

Will Steffy help or torpedo Joe tonight? He can torpedo Joe with out much difficulty, if his masters the Clintons and/or the DNC honchos tell him to.
