Love Bierstadt's paintings. This one isn't on the heroic scale as many others but it is such a pleasure to view. The greens that make up most of the scene contrast, gently, with blue and white of the sky. The image is intimate, pleasant and restful. The viewer can feel the gentle warmth of a mountain summer day. I would put this on the wall any time.

I spent 8 years in California. You get away from the cities and it's wonderful. But you need to get where you can't easily drive to get away from the idiots. And you need to stay out of the areas where there are deer during deer season as some of those fucking idiots shoot all over the place. And stay out of the mountains when it snows as the imbeciles from Los Angeles will cause huge traffic jams on the roads just to see some snow. My vocabulary is too limited to actually describe how much L.A. sucks. It sucks muchly.

Shhh. Listen to the painting. I know you aren't actually there, but if the tree falls we should settle the debate once and for all.
The painting looks kind of fuzzy and green. This use of sfumato de Kermit lends a certain verdant, almost mossy quality to the work. Also, I once had a morning long debate with a co worker buddy about the MSDS sheets. Which should really be MSD sheets as the second "s" stands for sheets. I was indeed being redundant. I will now admit that after the first five minutes I was just screwin' with him. Posted by: Bilwis Devourer of Innocent Souls, I'm starvin' over here at April 21, 2021 08:49 AM (Wm5SB) 102

Our local river has a cool name: "Cache la Poudre." It means "Bury the powder" because those about to cross the Rockies would bury half their gunpowder barrels near the river so they could find it for the return trip. No sense crossing the mountains with weight that you don't need.
'Course, everyone just calls it the "Poudre." Pronounced "POO-der." Which leads to funny bumperstickers like "Kayakers take it in the Poudre." Heh heh. Posted by: Guy Smiley at April 21, 2021 08:57 AM (Bmy3R) 138

If police show up to a neighborhood knife fight, and go , meh, looks like a local matter. And then drive away, ( which on occasion might not be a bad idea), I suppose they could be prosecuted for something. On the other hand, if they approach with an ineffective taser and get stabbed and killed, thats OK. Makes sense to me.

There's a Spanish River and lake in Northern Ontario.
"The river's name and the name of the nearby towns of Espanola and Spanish are said to be due to French explorers and Jesuit priests encountering Ojibwe peoples speaking Spanish in the area, apparently as a result of a Spanish woman having been taken captive during an expedition far to the south." An uncle by marriage and my cousins lived in Espanola (my aunt died young) that's a papermill town for E.B. Eddy and it stank if the wind was coming from the wrong direction!

Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations ==== Similarly, rape, bank robberies, arson, kidnapping have likewise been around for quite a while. Police, addressing these situations, is counterproductive. It should be left to self help, and perhaps, familial vendetta.

BackwardsBoy, if you're not a smoker there is a site, smokingpipes dot com, which buys used pipes if they are in good or revivable condition. I sent them 4 of my old ones and got $114 -- which I chose to take as a store credit. It would have been $95 or so had I opted for a check. You could try them.

That is the Libertarian idea. A group of community members gets together (but not in a government way) and votes to hire a private contractor to provide police duties. They are paid with something, something, but definitely not fines and taxes. And if the community board, which is not an elected government, decides to go with a different police contractor, that is what they will vote to do.

A poll today showed that the percentage of people who thought Chauvin was guilty dropped 20% after the trial. It was obvious from the trial that there was no intent to kill.

Apparently this cop included comments with his donation that organized police are supportive of Kyle Rittenhouse, etc. He was reassigned when this was initially disclosed via the hack to a paperwork assignment, then after review, the lawyers for the department recommended termination. it wasn't a simple , "your fired" situation, there was review involved.

Was the VA officer fired for using the work computer and email system to donate to Kyle (personal business) and or during work hours? Does his job have a written policy against it that specifies the consequence of getting fired if he violated that policy? Have other workmates done the same thing and perhaps donated to BLM under the same work conditions yet never been fired?
When he was fired was he explicitly told that he was fired for donating to Kyle and for his comments of support for Kyle? Posted by: Sobieski at April 21, 2021 10:04 AM (DnWIB) Posted by: t-bird at April 21, 2021 10:05 AM (AytXr) 416

402,
Jen, the issue with wrongful termination is if the punishment does not fit the crime. If the department has others such as expressing support for BLM, etc. using official work computers, etc., and did not terminate those individuals but instead did some sort of punishment like a written reprimand, then the government is engaged in viewpoint discrimination which is not allowed under the 1st Amendment. There is also whether or not the proper procedures were followed in the employee handbook regarding counseling,etc. for job related punishments. Public employees have a property right as well as a liberty right, (property right has stronger protections than does liberty rights) and cannot be terminated without proper procedures which the LI article is unclear as to whether or not that happened. Prediction, if he sues, the department will settle in an undisclosed matter. Posted by: whig at April 21, 2021 10:13 AM (pO7gM) 436

441, The public sector does not always get the best attorneys as it is often a matter of patronage rather than ability, especially in local government. The issue is that public sector lawyers fear getting fired for displeasing their political masters more than getting fired over giving in to their masters but losing lawsuits.
The costs in the first condition are personal to the lawyer, the costs to the second condition are apportioned to the taxpaying public. The smart and able lawyers are able to make more on the outside than in. Many able ones quit government service and go into private practice when their ten years required for public service student loan repayment is done.

Maybe communities should form their own Police force to defend the neighborhood and give them a catchy name, like Militia for example.
There is a story on the police shooting in Columbus at Red State. One of the comments is from a former cop. He mentions that everyone calling for the police to resign is exactly what the left wants. They want to replace the cops with their own brown shirts who will then terrorize... everyone they can. Think of A Clockwork Orange. In the end, Alex's droogs are police. That could be our future.
