66 I often don't care about the subject of the scenes he paints. They aren't bad, just not interesting to me. However, I do enjoy his techniques and especially his color choices. His use of Impressionistic areas of a painting, often foliage, combined with a more realistic main subject makes the image stand out.

In this painting the soft greens of the trees is reflected in the blues of the water. The light tan of the stone work also have areas of the green. And all the colors are mild and warm. It is a pleasant scene.

87 The Swimmer? I would think The Diver might be even more appropriate, but our artist has the right to choose his own title -- even if it were something like Twink in Silly Striped Bathing Dress.

He looks like he's hesitating anyway, and the woman off to his right (possibly his mother) is insisting he man up and dive in.

People living there are now un-insurable and there is a massive massive, unprecedented cleanup. Unfortunately the there is a govt shutdown so the feds can't help, worsening the crisis.

Which I though was weird because I hardly heard anything about this massive global warning hurricane so I looked into it. Turns out there were, get this, 8 houses built ON THE BEACH on posts/piers that have collapsed.

But unprecedented crisis. You can't hate the media enough.

119 This whole ordeal has affected me more than I thought. I'm in an admitted funk and today is the first day of getting out of it.

What's done is done, bridges are burned, yet that chapter is now closed. I will only have to deal with anything further when my SM passes away, then, according to the trust, anything remaining (which I doubt their will be) will be distributed equally.

It is at that point I will never, ever, deal with SS again. I really have learned a lot about what kind of person she actually is. I choose not to associate with that kind.

Today, it's back on the path to wellness, stability and moving the f*ck out to the country.

Posted by: Ripley at October 03, 2025 10:00 AM (GUOwU)
------
Also the houses collapsed because they were built on a barrier island that, get this, constantly shifts east and west over many years due to the fact that it's a thin barrier island made of sand which is in direct contact with the ocean.

The houses had been abandoned long ago because the island shifted West underneath them and thus they were already in the water anyway.

175 The Abandon Harris Mob Has Blood on their Hands! Seeing the ICE raids makes me sick. Worse are “Abandon Harris” idiots calling for us to all unite and fight back when THEY are complicit in letting this happen. They all encouraged people to stay home or vote for that Russian asset Jill Stein last year.

We should shame them.

Hound them on social media, reminding them they voted for this. Warn other people they cannot be trusted. If we have another election, they are likely to make the same stupid miscalculation.

this is not the time for a Dem Civil War. The margins are too narrow for us to take our eye off the real enemy.

You know who didn't have Joe Bidens back? Elected Democrats. Instead of ffighting the media on their BS attacks on Biden they called for him to step down and for Harris to replace him. Knowing there were poll numbers and voter outreach problems.

Like the folks saying "I'll have to hold my nose to vote for Hillary" and made damn sure they said it to as many people as possible in their lives or in the line at the grocery store, causing how many thousands and hundreds of thousands of people to just not bother to vote at all😡

One of the major cost savings proposed for FEMA is limit disaster payments that are forseeable to only one payout over the lifetime of the property. If you build on land of dubious safety in the first place for monetary and scenic reasons, then I certainly argue you are not entitled to a second scoop or more of taxpayer money to rebuild.
Furthermore, your private insurance rates should reflect the actual risk of damage rather than be communitized with lower risk properties.

Time to end the favorite game of some to socialize losses and privatize gains.

I think that I saw this at Chincoteague National Seashore.

There was an exhibit with pictures and maps that showed how much the barrier islands in the Virginia Capes region (Cape Charles and Cape Henry) had moved about from currents and storms over the centuries. What once was solid beach now was ocean and vice versa. Oceanfront property is set on a dynamic landscape and it always has been that way.

Much the same, with remnants of pilings to prove it, along the Delaware shore of the Delaware River estuary.

Half-true.
Elected Democrats wanted Choo Choo Biden gone but
... they also knew Kamala Harris was a drunken fool. They were angling for a "mini-primary" (probably superdelegates only): aka, the smoke filled room except before the convention rather than during.
Biden torched that by immediately throwing his support to Harris. He (or, rather, Jill and Hunter) calculated that this would make Harris the clear winner in a mini-primary such that the process would just weaken the D brand nationwide. Everyone panicked and the mini-primary idea failed.

A brokered convention open to the public might actually have saved the Democrats in 2024. Of course this assumes that the left wing wouldn't turn the whole event into a circus.

Ultimate backstop is FEMA and government disaster loans and payments. But yes, some private insurance companies apparently do insure such properties often using community ratings in some states to lessen the premium blow.

Timebound. The correct answer to Ginger or Maryanne is neither for today. One is dead I think and the other nearly dead.

You have to put in a stipulation of the use of Ace's time machine to that question along with actual opportunity to pursue a carnal relationship with either.
