The redhead looks like she might have a nice superstructure. The black-haired one, not so much. (But I love black-haired girls with fair skin almost as much as I do pale redheads, so there's that.)

There is a small patch of grandmother's fragrant pink roses still growing along the fence near the front gate. Blooming right now. Every year, we swear we're going to gather cuttings and propagate more. This year for sure.

They are desperate for anything they can spin as a win at this point. The failure of the Russian Collusion investigation did a lot of damage to the NeverTrumpers and the Left and we are just beginning to see how extensive that is. They are sitting there sputtering away on trivialities and circus-like acts while Trump is freed to act the statesman.
It is very revealing.

Very hippie-dippie young friend came up to the ranch to visit, and, seeing the lush clover growing up in our yard, impulsively kicked off her sandals and ran barefoot through the bees. As if chiggers and ticks weren't threat enough.
So many decades ago, and we still chuckle about her sudden enlightenment about Mother Nature's attitude toward mere human flesh.

This really needs a mention, either by Ace or a cob. This is a link to the Buffalo NBC affiliate website. It is an article about a New York State Bill that is meant to eliminate "Institutionalized Discrimination" in the pricing of health and beauty care items sold to men and women.
The women's razors and shampoo cost on average 7% more, but they are essentially the same, you see. Um, Assemblywoman Sugartits, if they are essentially the same, BUY THE OTHER ONE!!! et voila! problem solved!
Nope, we need a law dammit, because women in NYS are too fucking stupid to reach two feet to the left and buy a men's razor.

Nope, we need a law dammit, because women in NYS are too fucking stupid to reach two feet to the left and buy a men's razor.
If they did, in a year there would be the need for a law making men's razors less effective for men because they don't work as well on women.

Waterhouse has a lot in common with his contemporary Alphonse Mucha, especially in a work like "Circe". (But Mucha is always sexier, which is probably why I like his art so much)

Thirty-one years to get there means absolutely nothing because the next crop of politicians will be pushing their priorities and the whole Greenhouse Gas thing will fade from the scene like every other one of these crises. Thirty-one years ago from today was 1988, you know, and a lot of priorities have come and gone since then. This is just another politician blathering.

Not to fuss too much, but 18 US Code 241 says "anyone" and doesn't specify government action. I still haven't heard an explanation as to why that law can't be used in cases like these where political speech is being oppressed.
I just cannot believe it's legal to deny anyone their rights anywhere by anyone. We didn't used to have this problem until Progs just up and started doing it. Where are the people who are supposed to be preserving our freedom and why aren't they doing so?

Lansing Michigan, where cars already in the roadway...they can just slow down...I mean that's an option.
I've driven a number of places, and Lansing Michigan, once my home for ~10 years, has the *worst* concentration of bad drivers I've ever seen--and it's not the college kids--so much as the locals themselves.

This is a glaring example of how totally F'd up our education system is.
UFO means "unidentified flying object" a basic scientific mind would not permit it to mean "space aliens" or "otherwordly advanced life".
From the astrophysical standpoint: there are no known planets that are even in the "habital zone" near any star. Astronomers have identified over 4000 planets through various proxies and have found none that could even remotely support life.
From the maths and basic physics standpoint: stars are pretty far out there, and any star that has a planet system, even some Juvian gas planet, is many, many lightyears away. To travel between these systems would require hundreds if not thousands of years to make the transit.
Even if these "advanced life forms" were able to go up to if not beyond the speed of light, the amount of energy to accelerate to that speed is mind boggling.
For example, to accelerate a one kilogram object to c/10 would require an energy equivalent of all the energy mankind has generated in since the dawn of the industrial age. Then you need that energy again to slow it down. Even with pure matter/anti-matter conversion, the energy is just not there.
Now think about accelerating and then stopping an object many kilotons in mass - and kicking the speed up an order of magnitude...
Even at c/10, hitting a something the size of a grain of sand would be the equivalent of absorbing an explosion far more powerful than a brick of TNT detonating. What kind of space-ship hull material could do that and not add thousands of additional kilotons of mass?
But I guess stupid people with no scientific education will just invent technology that violates all known laws of physics because people want to believe that there is a benevolent superior life form out there that want to rescue us from our own sin.
But whatever that personal power is - can't possibly be the Almighty Creator.

Da Swamp (the big city in Lousy-ana) features some of the truest idiots who ever barely passed a license exam. They are apparently confused and frightened by the stalks on the steering column, so they respond by ignoring them all -- including turn signals.
I'll agree with most of you about the merging business. But I was taught when I was preparing for my license that, on an expressway, you share responsibility with the incoming drivers in seeing that they merge safely. You may have the right of way, but that should take second place to safety. When I know drivers may be merging ahead, I try to stay out of the right lane if I have no pressing business there, like exiting. That is not a place to play dominance games.
The trouble being that none of these incoming drivers understand that principle, either.

Scientific mindset is fine for the practice of Science, but not necessary for laymen.
Yes, you are right the name just translates to "Unidentified object in the sky", and too many people forget that.
What is needed is skepticism, empiricism and logic, and science is actually extra-logical. In deduction, you cannot get a universal from an existential. So, to me, that is the "Scientific Conjecture". It's inductive with proposed, provisional (and provisionally qualified) globals.
Really a big boost in logic could be had by teaching everyone what happens when you turn a positive statement to its logical complement, by negating it. Interestingly enough that's operative in UFOs. The base descriptor is the logical complement of known objects. It's un-known.
Logical complements are *wide*. And positive statements are about *known* things or categories, "Unknown" or "unidentified" adds the complication of meta-statement.

You use it like a barrier. Might be a bit much for all around the house, but for the recognizable tracks, or making a flower garden or door-sill off-limits, it is safe and effective.
Related note, I think it is great that the Gideon bibles are KJV. All those frontispiece pages headed "What the Bible says about..." can be a challenge, a little comical if you're not desperately in need, but at least when you get to the meat of the matter, it's the real deal and not some postmod happy-talk.
And Proverbs 6, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard," isn't really just a grasshopper fable. The next line is the clincher, "Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer..."
Showing that the writer of that proverb did not consider ants, as we do, to be totalitarian, communist, controlled by the queen and her scent - domination, but just saw a bunch of ants kind of working at the same thing, and seeing something about the proper conduct of life in that, huh.
Like certain stinging industrious insects, in moments I might wish for better communication, so that I could respect their industry and not have to kill the living shit out of them for showing up too close to my bed.

Baking Soda. Safe for kids and pets. Leave it out for a while and it somehow confuses their scent marking and they take it back to the hive.
sister of mine liked to put a little pile of malt-o-meal next to an ant pile. they'd troop out and take it into the pile grain by grain. about half an hour later, they'd be frantically dragging it back out again, because it got damp and started to swell.

Times like that, we'd have to call in the lens-teams. 'Fresnel Six, this is BZ 22. We've got a semi-free family at the Tango checkpoint. They're getting close to the edge. Please fry at will.

So glad me and the Missus had our kids when we did. Never had to sorry about all this retarded boo-shit.
Pretty sure she ate a lot of the stuff on the BAD List too. Gasp!
We even had the kids eating drinking their formula mixed with baby cereal (rice or oatmeal) at a couple months because they were always hungry. Now that's some kind of mortal sin, I reckon.
Plus nobody scolded her for not being able to breast feed.

She is sad that Kennedy retired, warned that the court may now be rendering decisions on ideologue point of views( yes, Ruthie, ya'all been doing that for years) and is extremely happy to report that Justice Kavanaugh has an all female law clerk team. The court now has more female than male law clerks, which makes Ruthie happy.
She also commented that Kavanaugh has the thankless job of being on the Court Cafeteria Committee.

People who work in white shirts and suits get an anti-perspirant habit. Just feeling that there is sweat going on creates an uneasy feeling that one might be sweating through the fabric, or in that other way offering offense to a client. And so the titanium-dioxide and aluminum powder formulas are applied, to block the pores and prevent perspiration. This is a different formula from the old idea of "deodorant," which merely sort of keeps it clean and avoids stong smell.
That damn powder gets in the bloodstream, and starts to bond with fluids wherever they accumulate. You can give yourself cancers of several organs by using it non-stop for a whole working lifetime.
Everybody likes a good joke about people who won't use under-arm products. It is possible to go ape-shit on this stuff, too.

On ant eradication....
Just find another ant nest, take a bit out of it with a shovel, and
drop it on top of the ants that are bothering you. If possible/desired,
swap bits from both nests to get rid of both.
MAD for ants. No chemicals needed.
This works. Ants are species-ists. Or Genus-ists. Or something-ists.

It's a solvable problem, from a mega-engineering perspective. The gravity is enough, it's the lack of magnetic field that would make any environmental alterations we could make temporary.
The magnetic field is almost nonexistent, due to a mostly-cooled core. The only way to fix it is to restart the core.
How would we go that? Well, why hasn't our core cooled? A lot of it comes down to friction generated by tidal forces, thanks to having a large moon.
Mars's moons are too small to generate a similar effect.
My proposed solution is basically cosmic billiards, mounting thrusters to thousands of small belt asteroids, to drive the existing moons together with precision kinetic impacts, and add more material to the combined planetoid until it is sufficient to provide the tidal stresses required.
As the core warms up, the magnetic field will return, and as a bonus, so will volcanism, which will release gases that will thicken the atmosphere to survivable pressures, which will not only provide an environment suitable for plantlife, but also retain heat.

I like to listen to the Last Podcast on the Left from time to time. They talk about real crime, serial killers, and paranormal stuff, and it seems like the prevailing opinion among serious UFO researchers *snort* is that UFOs and aliens don't come from another planet in the galaxy or whatever, but they're psychic beings that are crossing over from other planes of reality. So they don't so much travel here as they project here, and the things we see aren't so much real objects as they are our brains trying to interpret an experience we can't actually fully comprehend... or something.

Boy, talk about products that changed the world. I'm ghey enough to trade off with Fast Orange, but... The adolescent-fiction author Gene Olson, writing in the fifties about hot rod mechanics, described a guy getting cleaned up to meet a rich race-car promoter, and having the semi-circle of compressed white soap under his nails that was a close to having clean hands as a real mechanic ever got. And guys understood what he meant.
And then came GoJo. Invented as a way for the rubber workers in Akron to get that carbon-black off their everything, the shop that makes it now occupies the entire block that was once Goodyear Tire Rubber.
Unless they moved. I don't get to Akron as much as I used to.
