I realize my reaction is subjective but I wonder if Homer used watercolor for its immediacy. The boys are starting out on an adventure without a sure end. As with any water travel every moment can vary. This is even greater because that dory is a lot of boat for such small boys to handle. That introduces an element of 'unsureness' or danger to the adventure, more than if they were on a hike. I especially like the wide-eyed look on the smallest boy in the oversized hat sitting just behind the prow.

My comment has nothing to do with the previous administration's treatment of fallen soldiers or police officers. The president should call the families but not make a big spectacle out of it. Not dramatize it. Not spin it into a nationwide media story.

41 This drama with the families of fallen soldiers that the President
insists on stoking is superfluous and distracting to the agenda. I
really wish he would just let *some* things go...
Posted by: Defenestratus at October 18, 2017 09:39 AM (a9n6M)
***Umm - no. Trump merely stated that he liked to call the families of the fallen - whereas previous presidents usually used handwritten letters or (or, in the case of Obama, form letters with a pre-printed signature (you know, like a telemarketer). The MSM ginned up some made up controversy that misstated (or "lied", if you will) this into " Trump states that Obama never met with or did anything for any families of slain soldiers". Aaaah - no - he did not say that - but now that you mention it - Obama seemed to rely a lot on pre-printed form letters and really, for the most part, with only a few exceptions, did not meet with, call or write personal notes to the families of slain soldiers. Hence. the ridiculous twitter statement by disjointed lefties "How dare you say that Obama never met with the families of slain soldiers - that is a lie!!! How can you lie like that Here is the one picture of him with the family of a posthumous medal of honor winner!" "Eleventy!" Meanwhile - all the hundreds of families of those soldiers who died who got a form letter form Barry Soeto are seething. Perhaps some industrious MSM reporter might want to talk to those folks hmmm? ***crickets***
Thought so.
Trump should meet this head on and have a presser where he "makes up" for Obama's snubs by having ALL of those families over the White House, or, if they can't make it, he calls them personally over the next few months. heh. That would be great. I looked it up - its only about 2,000 families. Totally doable. Best press conference ever - opening up the people's house to the families of slain servicemen who only got a form letter. Cost to Trump - probably not than much. Watching lefty heads explode? Priceless.

In any case, context is everything, and saying the woman's son "intentionally put himself in harm's way" is praise, not insult.
I pulled this piece of script from "Shooter" the movie, where the widow corrects the Wahlberg character, saying basically "he knew what he signed up for, he loved it""
It was my fault.What?
You know, with Donnie. I should never have...
What? Don't you dare.
Don't you try and take that away from him.
He knew exactly what he was doing when he enlisted.

He loved what he did. No one made him do it.

But that's just me. Opinions differ."
I understand troyriser's opinion but I have a different reaction. Part of the appeal of Homer's works for me is they often elicit the senses of sound and scent, not just sight. Also, the images usually suggest a story which adds to my enjoyment.
The subjective nature of a painting's appeal is part of the fun of the art thread for me.

Not quite.
So Monday Trump gets challenged about the 4 Soldiers killed in Niger. He is vague and evasive, then in typical Trump fashion, has to insist that he does more than any President before him. So Tuesday he calls the widow of SGT Johnson and is a little awkward in what he says. And now apparently it is to the battle stations rather than letting it go.
It is ridiculous to imply that he does more than previous Presidents. Frankly Bush was the best. Genuine. Not a lot of fanfare. It is too early to say how Trump will truly do, but I do not have high expectations and he is much better when he sticks to scripts.

I agree. The left wants to make a spectacle of the dead when A Republican is president, but few flag draped coffins when it is Obama. But they love using gold star parents for their "make love not war" propaganda.
Beyond that, the Democrats belittle the man's service, not Trump. Because Democrats seem to hate our military as much as Obama did, as much as they hate the cops. Their new meme is all patriotism is racist, so praising the man's dedication for signing up to serve (patriotically) is a bad thing. To them America is the source of all evil, the Big Satan, if you will.
For most Americans, going in harm's way is honorable -- to the left it is deplorable. Because we should all lay down arms and open borders and fly our Che flags, but kneel for the anthem, and tear down all white man statues. sheesh What country do they love?

I don't disagree with anything you said - but I still think using
the families as political pawns (even in regards to responding to the
classless left's attacks) is something that is in poor taste - and no,
I'm not a neverTrumper.
Posted by: Defenestratus at October 18, 2017 10:21 AM (a9n6M)
As someone else above said - Trump did not do this - the left did. And they did it by lying. AND they did it by lying at the expense of families of the fallen who were marginalized, at best, by the Obama administration if not downright disrespected.The response to this is to point out the hypocrisy and make sure families of the fallen are moves front and center and honored whenever possible - so they CANNOT be used, silenced or marginalized, by the left - which is precisely what the left wants - they want Trump to stop talking about fallen soldiers and how their families were mistreated by the Obama admin. Jeb! probably would have done that and the press would have been happy that they swept another embarrassment by a stupid lefty president under the rug - but, thank God, Trump is not that way - so he is walking up and smacking people around.
The response to these people is "I didn't say that at all - so that is a lie - but now that you mention it - the way Barry Soeto treated our fallen boys is a disgrace - form letters? You will never see form letters in MY administration. In fact - we are going to open the White House to all the families of the fallen who want to visit . Please arrange this through your local Congressman and we will open our doors to you . . any day."Boom.I did not suggest you were a #nevertrumper . . . . but . . . now that you mention it . . . you do sound concerned.

One bright spot is that I got about 3 1/4 pages of my new story for Kindle cranked out on Saturday last and I'm hoping to finish it this weekend. I know the whole plot and the ending - it's the writing itself that's the problem.
And how you? Didn't I see you were going for an interview or appointment the other day? I do worry about you and wish you all the best.

Lefty Santa Barbara loves their Summer Solstice Parade, which sometimes pushes the envelope a bit. Back in the mid-90s, there was one float with an S and M theme.....studded leather, whips, and a painted but naked woman walking out front. Middle aged, a little fluffy. Tall, like amazonian tall. The float was organized by her and her husband/boyfriend, who was pushing 60 yrs old, but had gauged ears and facial piercings (he used to frequent the same restaurant I did, used to see him all the time).
Much handwringing, pearl-clutching and caterwauling about nudity in the parade from the local leftists.
Within a few months, the couple got busted. Seems that they were running a long-time brothel in town that everyone totes didn't know about. Totes didn't know.

Good on you with the writing. Keep hammering away at and be not discouraged. One of my greatest flaws and regrets is having given up on certain things too easily. Like myself, for instance.
I had a doctor's appointment in connection with something non-life-threatening but potentially very serious nonetheless. It looks we may be able to get it managed, thanks to a big pharma company's patient assistance program for one of its medications that I absolutely have to have.

I'm trying to find out if I can bring back a tube of salami for my cousin who's sick. (Sure cure) there's a particular one they call "Palle de Nonnos" translated to Grandfathers Balls, so yeah it looks like a scrotum. Fuckin' eyetalians crack me up.

"Old Trash Heap Road."
I'd love to advertise a house for sale on that one. Locally, we have Smuts Road, which is bad enough (named for a family that used to own the land)
My favorite is a road south of my town, outside city limits, kind of an important thoroughfare, named "That Road". How did you know you had gotten to "That Road"? Well, it was the one that didn't have any signs on it. Anywhere.
It was always fun to either follow or give directions to someone about it - "well you just go down south a town a bit til you get to That Road, and you'll know it because it ain't got no sign. So turn there. But be careful and don't turn on some other road, cuz you'll get lost, just be sure and turn on That Road."

I've gotten to a point where I have to write every day.
If I don't either make progress on a short story or make do serious work on a rewrite of my latest book, even for a day, I feel off.
I take my lunch times at work and write. After Dolley goes to bed, I embed myself in the office and work for a few hours. It took me years to get to that point.
Of course, I'm unpublished, so what do I know?

The Victorians were pretty freaky themselves, when they wanted to be. Victoria herself, when told she must not have any more children, lamented to her doctor, "Can I have no more fun in bed?"
And the book When Passion Reigned is a good, if scholarly, take on Victorian-era sexuality.

I don't get breaks often, for sure. However, the supply of meds was an answer to prayer. There's an application process you have to go through, and I got approved. Being poor does occasionally work to your benefit. Who knew, right?
I thank you for your prayers, and all the others who I know pray regularly for me and the Horde, such as Fenelon and Slapweasel. You're the biggest-hearted crew of ruffians and rapscallions anyone could ever hope to be part of.

I long ago realized that writing is work. Waiting for "inspiration" is a fool's errand.
The only time that I feel that I'm anywhere close to pure creation is in the pre-writing phase where I'm developing characters, doing multiple outlines, and generally figuring out where the story goes.
After that, it's just work. Sit down and write. Get that first draft done. It's going to be shit, but that's what second drafts are for. The second draft is going to be less shit but still need work, that's what third drafts are for.

You're probably right.
Our government has our best interest in mind, and the FBI is, and has always been above reproach.
The smart and honest men and women of the FBI are doing what they have to do to keep us safe, and we should trust every single thing they say.
Honestly, I'm not very smart, so it's hard for me to understand why timelines keep being drastically changed and why a witness would go missing for a number of days, but the government knows best, so all we can do is give them our blind trust.
Also... I'm female, so my reasoning abilities are limited as well.

But Rosenstein gets to decide for himself to NOT recuse, because he is so honorable that even if he committed criminal/treasonous acts, he could investigate himself, no problem.
sheesh. Sessions sounds like he is owned by the Swamp.

And now there's new that UHC is making good money after pulling out of the ACA Marketplaces. "Despite" pulling out of the marketplaces, as some headlines say.

She told me that not what she heard on the news, though. But now she feels better that I explained it all to her because apparently she's living in fear that people with automatic weapons are going to bust in and shoot the place up.

Cant go wrong with a Glock 19.
I prefer DA/SA on my CCWs. Sigs are good. Bersa is a quality DA/SA. Im wating to get a CZ 2075 Rami myself.

I'm a CZ bigot myself.
The one I lack is the Rami. I'm firm in my belief of no safety on a daily carry piece (except on a 1911, which is just a different critter), and there was a Rami BD at the fun store last time I was in there.
Hrm, Veteran's Day is coming up, and I usually treat myself to a lil' sum' sum' on that day...

I guess my biggest lack of decision is about caliber.... I use 9mm in my big Beretta. Nice and all, but I wonder if that is the way to go with my CCW....
Bigger holes are better. .45acp.

How I was leaning... also heavier... helps me when firing...
All this sounds better than installing boat dock bumpers, or an ice maker...

My two cents on SD caliber.
Using quality, proven, modern self defense designed rounds..... there is not much performance difference between calibers. There is no such thing as "knockdown power" pertaining to handguns.
That being said. I prefer to carry as much ammo as I can comfortably conceal. I love the 45 ACP.... but I want more than 5 or 7 rounds. My MINIMUM carry number is 10. 13-15-17 is better.
My choice for conceal carry puts me into double stack 9mm firearms.
Like I said. My personal opinion.
YMMV.

My 9mm HSTs expand to .50.
Most 45mm HPs dont expand.
I can carry 14.

So you are carrying 7 .45's.
45 acp = 230 grains
9mm = 115 grains

Autumn is in full swing, but as I reside in S. TX we are just staring to feel it, mostly in the mornings. This time of year seems to bring out the hardcore America love in me and I tend to pull out my old copies of Coopers works, The Scarlet Letter, The Crucible (all of which I admit I just skim these days), and my absolute favorite novel since about the 5th grade, The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
I wondered if the artsy person in charge could post some works that are reminiscent of Colonial America, works that remind us where we come from and why we continue to love this land unapologetically.
Sorry, I caught the feelz this morning I guess.
Really really love the mini art history lessons in the mornings!
Posted by: SweetAbby at October 18, 2017 12:13 PM (hN2IB)
That is a great book. Read it many times myself-even as an adult. She also wrote another good historical novel, "Calico Captive" which takes place in the 1700s . Have you read that?

Seconded--I think that would be a great idea!

I'm in my 40s and i still read The Witch once a year around Halloween/Thanksgiving. And I still use the same tattered paperback copy I got way back then!
Just this weekend i lent it to my 11 yr old stepdaughter and she texted me that she's hooked. Made my day!

That's great; I still have the same tattered copy I read
years ago too, and I'm glad your stepdaughter likes it. You'll have to tell me what you think of Calico Captive.
