38 RE: Cat like agility

YouTuber Mark Roper has some videos on squirrel competition. One of the things he points out that both squirrels and cats have in common is their ability to land on all fours despite the height. If you watch the cat during the slow motion portion, you can see it twist to get eyes fixed on a ground landing spot, position the body and bring all four legs together for the landing. This all takes place in milli seconds. To me that is fascinating.

Marlin Perkins got nothing on me except maybe a tent full of scantily clothed native women and pitchers of margaritas.

70 There it is:

Federal prosecutors have considered charging Hunter Biden with three tax crimes and a charge related to a gun purchase, said two sources familiar with the matter.
The possible charges are two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, a single felony count of tax evasion related to a business expense for one year of taxes, and the gun charge, also a potential felony.

They will plead this down to a single misdemeanor tax charge, restitution, a couple months of probation. Then the entire Biden crime syndicate and years of selling favors and probably state secrets is wiped clean.

94 Yao. It was in the time when Sun-In-His-Hair had moved his camp to M'aral'ago, where the whites hit eggs that did not break with sticks that were not wood. For hours. Now the People were led by a Delaware named Fool, who lived in the Great White Lodge and took counsel from Laughing Mongrel, a witless woman who talked much and said nothing.
Puzzling times.
One day, a band of scouts on horseback came upon a dry gulley on the range. In the gulley was a man. He was sleeping, nude, in the sun. A flat square of metal lay next to him in the dust. A glint of sunlight shone on a bit of glass in his mouth. There was vomit on his bare chest. The men recognized him.
"It is the son of Fool," one said. They looked at him. A pony stepped on the metal square. It cracked under his hoof the way that metal does not.
"He has glass in his mouth," another said.
"It is a pipe."
"Pipes are made of wood, everyone knows this."
"Not this one. It is glass."
They watched him.
"Glass Mouth," one said, chuckling.
"Pipe-Head," said another. A few of them laughed.
They watched him.
"Sucks A Glass Cock." The band roared with laughter, weeping, the ponies circling and neighing as the sun set.

131 The robins in our neighborhood are brain damaged. The first spring we lived here, I kept seeing them slam themselves into windows. This year, some robins have been attempting to build nests in a couple of locations on our veranda. They bring nesting materials and drape it over the construction site. The materials fall off. The robins bring another load. Same result. There are piles of nesting materials under each of the sites, but nothing that resembles a nest.

In addition, we found a robin's egg on the ground.

Maybe our robin population is getting out of hand and they need some natural selection to cull the flock.

The thing is, I don't have to use Win 11 for anything.

I bought a couple of cheap HP EliteDesk Mini's to replace a number of Raspberry Pi's and an old linux debian box.

I took one the machines and dual booted it with Linux Mint.

I'm just playing around with the machine.

It came with Win 10, but the processor was unsupported for upgrade to Win 11, I was able to defeat the system checks and install Win 11.

I'm just trying to see what all of the fuss is with Win 11.

208 May of '68 a cluster of tornadoes swept through Iowa, one of them an F5 that went through my father's home town, Charles City. We were living in Wisconsin at the time.

My grandfather was outside picking up huge hailstones to show us kids when we were going to be visiting in a couple of weeks. Everything got quiet and the lighting turned green, then he heard a freight train coming. He yelled to my grandma to run for the basement, tornado. Missed his auto salvage junkyard and their home by one block. Ten acres of junk cars and piles of scrap metal.

We went down there two weeks later. The town was destroyed. My dad missed the turn to his childhood home because he didn't recognize the place.

I gave all my film gear to my hipster son. Apparently film is A Thang among a segment of the subculture sort of like vinyl records. He had the Canon A-1 resealed and recalibrated and has been doing some nice work with it, better than I ever did. I bought it after high school so it's probably nearing 45 years old now.

That's the way T-storms were in the 1960s midwest. Green and dirty brown clouds; incessant lightning seemingly stationary over a single region for hours. More terrifying than the pansy storms we see now. I'll bet they had some doozies in the 1930s.

I couldn't be scared because it was so damned amazing, like hearing the Power of the Earth raw and unfiltered. It doesn't really sound like a train, but it's closer to the sound of that than any other descriptive word I have.

300 The Holiday Inn pic got me once again thinking about The confluence of roads in Las Cruces, US 70, US 80, and US 85 All at one intersection the Las Cruces New Mexico. These roads are mostly gone now, subsumed by time and the interstates, What is left along Picacho Avenue in Las Cruces is the carcasses of all the hotels that welcomed those travelers in the '40s, '50s and 60s. What is left are hotels for transients and sex offenders. I collect their glory days in postcards found on ebay.
