Sunday Overnight Open Thread - January 11, 2026 [Doof]
Dad's too drunk to drive. The good news - he found a sober driver. The bad news - it was his 12 year old son! Too Drunk to Drive, Father Asks 12-Year-Old Son to Drive Family Home
On the evening of January 2nd, while conducting breathalyzer tests on motorists as part of the traditional BOB campaign meant to combat drunk driving in Belgium, police in the commune of Duffel noticed something very peculiar. A car that was approaching their checkpoint seemed to do so at a snail’s pace, finally stopping dozens of meters before reaching them. As they approached the vehicle, traffic police officers immediately noticed that the person in the driver’s seat seemed unusually short and young. Their initial impressions were confirmed when they reached the driver’s window. It was a young boy, no more than 12 years old. Next to the child was his father, who nonchalantly admitted that he had asked the boy to drive home because he had had too much to drink.
Not ideal by any means. Especially when you find out this additional detail.
Sitting in the backseat of the car were the boy’s mother and two young siblings, all of whom seemed ok with the situation. Interestingly, the mother had a valid driver’s license herself, but somehow thought it was a good idea to let her pre-teen son drive the whole family home at night.Check out the whole thing. Actually, I'll save you the time.
And, in case you’re wondering how the family got home that night, the boy’s mother took his place behind the wheel and did what she was supposed to do in the first place.

"This is such a haunting melody and marvelously performed.
As for the sadness in this song: Pavel Chesnokov wrote this hymn shortly before the 1917 Communist Revolution in Russia.
Immediately afterwards, the communist government banned the production of sacred music and forced religious composers such as Chesnokov to compose purely secular music.
In 1931, the communist government dynamited the Cathedral of Christ the Savior (whose last choir master was Chesnokov), an event that so traumatized him that he stopped writing music all together.
In 1944, Pavel Chesnokov would die of starvation while standing in a bread line, 30 years denied the Eucharist and having never heard his own hymn sung.
Knowing all this, every time i listen to this song, it brings me to tears."

___________
The short answer is that dogs of the same breed compete once per show. Then the Best of Breed winner competes later against the other breed winners in their variety group (of which there are seven). The first-place winners of each variety group compete for Best in Show.

Runway models don't smile. If you see a beautiful, smiling face, you subconsciously look at it. That means you're ignoring the fashions. So RBF (Runway Bitch Face) is the cure.
Catalog and advertisement models can smile, because you have all the time in the world to look at a photo. Runway girls strut out there for a few seconds and strut back off.

In the church we visited, the 18 month old next to us decided I needed to see every book he had. Whenever the pastor said Jesus, he would flip to the page of Baby Jesus in the manger and point vehemently.

Have a confession. I have two coats with "Finland Fox" that I inherited. I love the coats and am not a fan of fake fur. Please don't call PETA. I did not kill the foxes. The coats did not come from chyna as I looked. I also have a 100% cream cashmere coat (grandmother's) that I am afraid to wear until our grandchildren are grown (sticky fingers).

While it took me decades to realize mean jealousy on my exBF's part (I am that oblivious, seriously), she once told me to "never wear red, it makes you look slutty." I could not have looked slutty at the time if I tried.
Red is a power color and you wear it knowing people will look at you. I wore red anyway, even when she told me not to. Because I like red and don't care if anyone looks at me.
By a freak of nature I got a subscription for Vogue free years ago and nearly died at the "fashion." No idea, but I never paid for the magazines. I'd flip through and toss them. Mostly ads.Figured no one but Paris Hilton would wear half of it, and what happened to the great fashion houses of the past?
The '40's and 50's? Awesome fashion by Dior and others. I've always wanted to look like Grace Kelly. I dress classy is all I can say. I probably look like Grandma Moses, but a Garnet Hill Grandma Moses.

I was just reading some ideas about what might be done in Iran. We establish air supremacy over Iran. Shoot down anything the regime tries to fly. Provide an air umbrella to protect the protesters. Establish safe have corridors to get supplies they need, and attack the hell out of any regime forces trying to move in on them.
The regime is trying to jam Starlink and GPS. That needs to be taken out.

I think you live close to me. Same here. It has been awful. Mountains have 1/4 of what is normal. And that's our water for the summer. I was bummed out for weeks after Thanksgiving but snapped out of it for Christmas.
My husband said we've had winters like this before, you have amnesia. I guess I was too busy studying and working i the late '70's to remember. I moved here to have seasons, after 30yrs in Florida. I pray for a very wet rest of the winter and to Easter. Flowers still bloom if it snows, as you know.
I pray for snow every day or anytime I look out the windows. We have some, but not enough to make me happy. I prefer the winters where it snows a couple of inches each night!

First wave has to be all remaining air defenses and next wave as many ballistic missiles sites as possible.
(They say they’ll shoot off everything if they’re attacked)
Then start with the Revolutionary Guard bases.

Sounds wonderful! Other than everyone else having the flu!
The best time for shell seeking was after a storm in FL. I still have a ton of shells. Some are rare for the Atlantic coast to find, altho I found many including intact Angel Wings. One Atlantic Deer Cowry I found around Thanksgiving is on my bedside table.
In nursing school a few of us students took a trip to Baha...Kino Bay, Mexico. Found great shells there. Now I would be kidnapped or murdered by cartels. Sundial shells, augurs, a black murex, etc. After a long winter and studying it was paradise, the sunshine and gold glitter in the sand. Still have the shells I collected there.
I want to return to Sanibel/Captiva Island someday as I love shells. Now into rocks. Collected fossils and arrowheads from the farm in MS with my father and brothers.
My husband thinks I am a weirdo and you can tell that I don't care! I always have a rock in the pocket of my coat and keep them after a hike or walk in the mountains.

An aqua set was our first "diningroom" furniture as a married couple. Friends gave us furniture and we thanked them. Totally mix of whatever and we were very happy (and poor).
We have a very good (American made in NC), heavy leather recliner in our garage. Not good enough for the two college sons of a neighbors, I guess! One small rip in a seam on one arm, otherwise perfect.It will go out for pickup in late April. Goodwill, etc don't want furniture unless it is perfect, I guess (due to bedbugs, which we don't have as a feature).
We took anything as college kids. That dinette set and his '62 Dodge Lancer would be worth something now! Of course in storage, which we never had.
This type of dinette set was also kitchen furniture for one of my grandmother's.

I loved the glamour of evening wear in the '40's. Those ladies knew how to dress.

My best pals in high school were 3 teenage boys in the same family. They had access to the best station wagon ever - an early 70’s Oldsmobile with a Rocket 88 455 in it, we called it the rocket sled. There was a road north of town that went over a couple dry washes, big dips and falls, we would take the rocket sled up and practice getting all four wheels off the ground.

Push button transmission weird cool.
This is the car he courted me in (vs a sportscar of an anesthesiologist who fancied me...I saw his wandering eye & he was only separated & I said no).
This car was driven like it had 4-wheel drive over deserts and mountains camping. White with an aqua hood from a previous wreck. Rusted coat hanger for an antenna. By the time he sold it there was a rusty hole in the back floor. He made $50 on the sale.
We were crazy and happy and had a lot of fun in that car. Bought a used Toyota station wagon prior to first son's hatching as we needed seatbelts. I did take his photo in that car before the sale.
I admit when he drove up in it for our first date I thought, "Oh, boy. Wut is that?" On the front porch of an old rental house studying & had no idea what car he had. He thought I was smiling because of love. Ha! That came much later!

This part of the story sounds made up, but it’s true: in the 60’s and 70’s, the old Shah brought in Israeli engineers to build a water control system with plenty of dams, aqueducts, and anything else needed to supply Tehran with way more than was needed. Then the Ayatollahs took over - not only did they abandon all maintenance, they began cutting canals for stupid reasons, and wrecking parts of the system for no reason at all.
One well known Iranian engineer and ecologist went public with this 5 years ago, telling everyone there would be a disaster if they didn’t work to correct this immediately.
The regime had him executed for criticizing the leaders.

Yahbut... They dyed the damned things red, probably with one of the carcinogenic reds. It was to cover up the fact that a ripe pistachio is slightly green colored, and "eveyone" assumes green=unripe.
When Khomeini took over, pistachios disappeared from the US, because all of the pistachios here were imported from Iran (and red).
After a couple of years, it became obvious that things vis-a-vis Iran weren't going back to "normal", so California nut orchards planted pistachio trees. It took 5-6 years but we finally had real 'murrican pistachios. I don't think the FDA allows them to be dyed.

Back in April to may, as part of a simple "first light" test, the did about 10 total hours of observations over the course of a few nights over about a month.
The result of those 10 test hours were the discovery of 1900 new solar system objects.

Cashews and other nuts are high in oxalate compounds, turns out. These can bind with calcium in the urine and start forming crystals which precipitate out, seeding formation of stones.

And neither of them are a true nut. Chestnuts (if you can find them) walnuts and filberts (hazelnuts) are the only true nuts. Peanuts are a bean (legume) and almonds and cashews and pistachios are... hold on while I.look.it up ... drupes. Add pecans as drupes.

White Mountains area - which are mostly volcanic cones (Springerville volcanic region) sticking up usually 1000-1200 feet above the mostly flat areas between them. But... that flat area is six to seven thousand feet above sea level. My house shows at 6020' by the USGS topo map. Although the Sunrise Ski area about 20 MI from my place (on the White Mtn Apache Res) is at 9200'

Who believes they’re trying to hide the identity of some poor little white boy?

Anti-semitism is something I will never understand. Nor did I understand the KKK and other evil as a young girl growing up there.
One of my father's best childhood friends was Jewish. Met him at their 50th anniversary. This was the Jackson, MS I knew. Before it became entrenched in drugs, crime and a mayor trying to Afrikkanize the city. It had to have been sad for my grandparents and parents to see this happen after the '70's.
Please keep in mind I was aware from age 6yrs and reading that people hated the South, hated me. That was the perception from the media propaganda.
I proved quickly in college that I was as smart, if not smarter, than my peers from across the country in college 1k mi away. I also had all of my teeth and did not marry my cousin.

Nope. They're technically a seed, like sesame or sunflower.
I left out acorns which are a true nut, because, although edible, that's only after a lot of "processing". Grind them up, wash the result 3 or 4 times, squeezing out water each time, boil them.down to a paste, then grind the dried paste into a kind of flour. At least that's what I remember from a naturalist's talk in Yosemite, talking about the local NA diet.

When it comes to high fashion, Carolina Herrera spring/summer 2026.
Much closer to home, the drab, regional, unisex Communist workers' look will expand & reign. (A hoodie for every AWFL & partner so as not to clash with the Indivisible movement signs.)

Meet Neville Ray Singham:
https://is.gd/6kWSIJ
He's a billionaire funding the pro-Maduro protests. Fucker is an American tech billionaire, now based in Shanghai. He's a Maoist, and threw in with the Chicom state propaganda apparatus.
Now, why is he still a US citizen, and how can he move all that money into here to agitate?
