Tonight's ONT IS On The Clock
Howdy everyone! Welcome to Thursday night. Who should the ONT select in the AoS draft? Meanwhile, in the news this week, I'm told one of these groups of people represents a movement against the United States of America.
The End Of The World As We Know It
Everything You Need To Know About EMPs From A NASA Expert
EMP is the end-of-the-world scenario that scares me the most. I have a friend who has written a book about WWIII opening with an EMP attack. The book is called Mongol Moon. The sequel A Dance of Devils just came out. Highly recommended. In a scenario like The Stand, most people die, but everything is still sitting around for the survivors to use and rebuild. In an EMP scenario, everybody is still here, but nothing works, and nothing is going to work. Scary stuff.
This Is An Outrage Kentucky Mother Pleads For Help As She Is Threatened With CPS If She Does Not Allow Her Children’s School To Conduct “Unnecessary” Surgeries On Them
In her video, posted on March 18, McQueen explained that in her area of Kentucky, programs are offered for children who don’t have access to healthcare, especially dental work. Her children were sent home from school with a consent form indicating they would receive a free teeth cleaning as part of one of these programs. “They have a dentist come out in this big tour bus and they do the cleaning. And was like ok, whatever!” She then explained that she later received a piece of paper in the mail claiming that both of her children had “abnormalities” and she would need to consent for further treatment. McQueen said this took her by surprise, as the children’s family dentist told her that no such abnormalities existed. “My children go to the dentist on a regular basis – every 6 months to a year. There are no cavities, no decay. I called the school and they said ‘we have no control over that, you will have to wait until the dentist calls you.” McQueen said that a woman later called her and explained what was “wrong” with her children’s teeth. She then told the woman that it seemed odd that in a matter of 6 months, her children’s teeth were already decaying and that they would need root canals and further procedures. The woman told McQueen that they were sending her another consent form, and requested she provide them with her insurance information. “She told me that once the procedures were being done, which would be done over a consecutive amount of days, that my children would have to miss school because they’ll have to be placed under that laughing gas, anesthesia. I was then told that I would not be allowed to be there. And they would call me whenever it was time to pick them up,” she said. McQueen immediately became suspicious and refused, saying that she would call her children’s regular dentist instead. After an appointment, the dentist stated that there was nothing wrong with the children’s teeth requiring surgery. “They both have baby teeth that they are losing but there were no signs of cavities or decay. [Our] dentist showed me the scans,” McQueen said.No way they should be doing root canals on baby teeth. What for? They're only going to fall out anyway. This has the smell of an unscrupulous dentist getting rich off of doing unnecessary work on kids forced to see him. Comrade! Communists Betray Workers, Teachers Unions Betray Students, Civil Rights Organizations Betray Blacks
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union -- like most communist parties -- came to power as the great defender of workers. In reality, the Soviet Communist Party didn't give a hoot about Russian workers. The party was nothing more than a totalitarian organization that used workers to gain power -- and then suppressed the proletariat, just as it suppressed every other group. One of the first things the Communist Party did after attaining power was disband independent labor unions and prohibit workers' strikes. Yes, the "workers' party" banned strikes.That's why they're called “useful idiots” AI Enriching Our Lives
The one major exception was the Chinese Communist Party, which came to power as the great defender of peasants. And the CCP slaughtered about 60 million of them.
This has been the modus operandi of every left-wing group everywhere: Claim concern for some group, and use that group to fool people -- specifically, naive liberals, who share few values with the Left but have frequently served as useful idiots for the Left. Liberals do so to this day.
To me, "My Man Shit In His Pants At Work" is the ultimate AI vocal jazz standard https://t.co/lqisi5UyNf

Appalling
What a Miserable Difference Six Months Can Make
Dumpster fire. Train wreck. There are a variety of tried and true phrases to describe this period of painful Biden havoc in which we live. In reality, it's more like being caught in the midst of competing dumpster fires and train wrecks, and there's no place to hide. There also seems to be an endless supply of burning dumpsters and wrecking trains.Career Advice For many Gen Z students, skipping college for a trade may be their best bet
It's been six months since Hamas did what Hamas does, only on a grander, more horrific scale. Catherine covered the reminder for us yesterday: As Catherine notes, much of the world has lost its bearings on this issue, and it's appalling, especially here in the United States. Last October and November, most prominent Democrats were staunchly sticking by our ally Israel. The raging antisemitism was really only coming from the members of the Squad, who had established it as their brand almost the moment they got into office. Sadly, that's no longer the case.
All of this makes sense, both professionally and financially. Young people can make good money more quickly without incurring the massive debt looming over today’s college grads. According to the U.S. Department of Education, 43 million Americans are carrying this burden, with the average borrower owing $37,000.That's the route Little is taking, and we couldn't be happier. And that's all I have for you tonight. I'm under the weather, I'll probably go to bed after posting this, I've had a bad cold kicking my ass for the last 2 days. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by how to win a fight:
Meanwhile, after a few years of working, twenty-something tradespeople are buying homes and starting their own businesses. The median pay for new construction hires was $48,089 last year, compared to $39,520 for new hires in professional services. According to payroll-services provider ADP, pay for new hires in construction increased 5.1% last year, nearly double the increase for professional services.
Trade jobs are also less subject to replacement by AI and other technologies. Some tech exec might make good money before student loan payments, but he’ll pay some kid a fortune to unclog his toilet.

Willowed on the previous thread, but perhaps worthy of re-posting as the final tally on Australia's Great Emu War of 1932. (yes, this really happened)
I'm sure that Ben Had could clean up on the emus, as she has done on the feral hogs.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon
She certainly couldn't do worse - one account read that"
"The machine-gunners' dreams of point blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month."
Major Meredith's detachment reported that they had fired 12,630 rounds of ammunition, with no casualties on their side. The conservative estimate is that they killed a little north of 900 emus.

The EMP link led to ZeroHedge, which is OK by me, but then that led to a a video. We need a text summary.
My take on EMP? When it happens, old farts like me who know how to get shit done without a a bunch of digital assistance, are going to be in big demand.
"yeah, I can make your gas pump work, and I can even make the counter work to some extent. But your customer is going to pump 25,842 counts, and you are going to have to sit down and do the math to convert that to 18.5 gallons."

If I were tasked with killing emus wholesale, I'd be looking at shotgun slugs, loaded 2 to a round, linked with a foot of piano wire. Aim the neck, aim for the legs, don't matter. Once the critter is down, a head shot confirms the kill. And no meat spoiled. Emus be yummy.

I don't trust schools anywhere in this country to be honest, forthright and dedicated to educating children in the three R's, not the three best sex positions for anal.

Far more rational - the bean counters at Australia's MOD worked out that it took 9 rounds for every emu taken down. It's still astounding, given that these guys were WWI vets of heavy trench warfare, using state-of-the-art weapons, and were backed up by local farmers in an auxiliary capacity, many of those farmers also being WWI vets. PM Joseph Lyons was teased by the opposition with questions about whether there would be a campaign medal for the participants. Even more astounding is that the Lyons government held onto control in Parliament for years afterward.

There is a boatload of graft (big surprise!) in a lot of the programs BUT, some of the kids really need the help. We have grade school kids that show up without shoes the first day because they don't have any. Honestly - don't have any. You can tell because they have what I call, 'Barney Rubble feet'.
We are part of a group that is buying 10,000 pairs of shoes for all the kids in the county for the fall.

Further Great Emu War context - there was an estimated population of 20,000 of them in 1932, and they were laying waste to Australia's wheat crops. The military effort succeeded in eliminating - math ain't my strong suit - roughly 5% of them, maybe?
They eventually solved the problem with barrier fencing and an emu bounty system, but as late as 1950 the government was issuing .303 ammunition on request to settlers in emu-intensive areas.

re: What a Miserable Difference Six Months Can Make
Here's an insane DU post about how FJB can end his inflation problem with voters-
Having written that I think he's handling the high prices wrong and should do an oval office address and talk to the American people about the price gouging by companies. Tell the consumers to talk to the store managers, the landlords. Suggest companies drop prices to pre-pandemic levels would drive people wanting to spend less at their stores and they would make tons of more money and new customers which would force other companies to follow.
Companies like McDonalds and Wendy's are making out like bandits, one of them drops prices to 2020 levels, they are going to take a huge chunk of the others customers and business. This can happen at the grocery stores and everywhere. That's the message Biden needs to sell. We saw votes on price gouging go nowhere because of republicans, take it to the people, Biden hammers that issue he gets a second term, have his agriculture department list prices/profits, set the competition, let their CEO's get a million e-mails and complaints, it's healthy competition to drop prices and gain customers.

There is a boatload of graft (big surprise!) in a lot of the programs BUT, some of the kids really need the help. We have grade school kids that show up without shoes the first day because they don't have any. Honestly - don't have any. You can tell because they have what I call, 'Barney Rubble feet'.
We are part of a group that is buying 10,000 pairs of shoes for all the kids in the county for the fall.

And I used to look forward to spring thaw so I did not have to wear shoes for a few months.

Many of these critters could be released in National Parks and wilderness areas, and if they multiply too quickly, and start spreading into occupied land, a hunting season could be started to keep them in check.

Planting an harvesting is a dream. If it's so bad that there is no society, which subsistence living is, it will be more like the walking dead. At that time there will be some form of civil society or there will be chaos.
There will be some form of fortified/defended area something like the hacienda system only no indentured slaves (100 or so people) or the European equivalent. But individuals livin' on the farm ain't gonna happen.

While I suspect many companies are testing pricing highs, which could be called price gouging, it's also possible that higher prices anywhere in the supply chain will force those downstream to also raise prices.
Last burger I had at McD's, the pickle was thicker than the "beef" patty. To lower prices in the face of rising cost would have the patty be a brown piece of paper dipped in beef grease. Tastes like that already

"Mine is 'tittup'. Strippers are usually very good at tittuping, well, except the bored ones."
Mine is 'borborigmy'. It's onomatopoeia - that is, a word that mimics the sound of what it names (for example, 'bang' or 'screech'). In this case, the word describes, and sounds like, the gurgling sound your bowels make.
Another onomatopoeia is 'Blatz', which is the brand name of a beer, but also the sound you make if you drink too many of them.

Just saw a photo over on Insty's open thread of the so-called snipers perched atop the Ohio Union at OSU. If the agitators are a agitating in the Oval they've probably got a pretty good view although I think they have a better view of the bars on High St.

The winner is the guy who, if not stocked up already, can get to the nearest store/Costco and load up, get it home, and then defend it. This gets you through the first 6months. After that, what have got to plant, grow, harvest, to stay alive?
It is scary indeed!

“She told me that once the procedures were being done, which would be done over a consecutive amount of days, that my children would have to miss school because they’ll have to be placed under that laughing gas, anesthesia. I was then told that I would not be allowed to be there. And they would call me whenever it was time to pick them up,” she said.

Based on evidence from Australia, when running Bartertown you probably don't want to include a Thunderdome. Also, be wary of nomads in souped-up cars with the name of Max, and by all means don't allow anybody named Masterblaster to control any vital infrastructure.
Also, when you inevitably move on to controlling the only source of potable water, never hire anyone with the name Furiosa. avoid conspicuous displays with flaming guitars, and try to get your henchmen/thralls to be a little less kamikazi in their outlook. Those things lead to problems.

It is not unusual to have a favorite style of shovel. Mine is the long handled 5" blade trenching shovel. The blade is extra heavy and it is set at a very nice angle to the heavy handle. It won't make a big hole, but it will make a nice narrow one which is what I need for planting trees and digging out rocks.
I am also very fond of my short handled round nose shovel too, it is very good for moving stuff around.
I bought a grape hoe last summer and I am still trying to come to terms with it. I think it is a better tool for sandy soil, I don't think it is appropriate for the heavy clay we have here.
I would like tol point out that I have spent far too much time moving dirt by hand.

IIRC, there was a motorcycle based knightrider like show. Cannot remember the name.
My brain is a sink of this shit. Northstar, where an astronaut got hit by a solar flare and got super powers. But he could overheat. Pilot, never went anywhere.
Earth Star Voyager with Duncan Regher. It was a show with a collapsed eco system (acid rain was the thing then) and a bunch of teenagers on a starship to go explore to see if there was a habitable planet next door. Wackiness ensued. Pilot, never picked up.

Kindltot,
My all time favorite gardening tool is a hori hori.
I've dug several hundred pounds of weeds with mine. Too bad I don't currently live in a place with a garden I can dig up.

I bought a grape hoe last summer and I am still trying to come to terms with it. I think it is a better tool for sandy soil, I don't think it is appropriate for the heavy clay we have here.
I would like tol point out that I have spent far too much time moving dirt by hand.
Posted by: Kindltot at April 25, 2024 11:39 PM (D7oie)
Here in Arizona, a very popular tool is the so-called "hula hoe". It shaped like a stirrup, set at a 45 degree angle to the handle, with the "footrest" of the stirrup being a flat blade about an inch wide, sharpened on both sides, and fixed in the legs of the stirrup such that it can tilt forward and back a few degrees. Back and forth action on the handle will cause it pull its way down into the ground, ground conditions permitting. Does a real number on weeds, and not too strenuous to use.

I have a habit of breaking shovel handles, so I have gotten the skill of whittling them down and re-using them. Most shovels and hoe handles are extra long anyways.
My wife is very short so she likes the shorter handles, it is more convenient than using a tool that is taller than she is.

There is a kinda-sorta similar hoe called a "dutch hoe" which is a thin flat blade attached to the tines of a two-tined fork. Tines are bent such that the blade is flat on the ground when the handle is held at arm's length by your side.

Well we finally did it, had Bailey put down today. At 14 she had a good run for a big yellow lab. We thought she was on her way out as far back as Thanksgiving.
She'd be sick for a couple of days then revive for a while. A good friend, the quiet tonight is different. No more of you banging that boney head against my leg or running under my knees.
Passersby may notice they are no longer greeted by this formerly big bark, lately much weakened. All it meant was come play with me.
RIP you smiley dog.

Oh and pretty older teenage girl says he's her favorite dog. And the lady at Arby's gives him 2 dog cups of meat when we go there. He howls and she knows it's Ralphy.

2) Even if that senile disaster is re-elected, he can't raise taxes by Executive Order. That takes both Houses of Congress. The DEMs aren't gonna hold the Senate this year.

"Everything is a scam and racket now" is probably the truest sentence ever written.
Replacing religious-derived morality with nothing was not a winning move for society. People began to see the crooks and conmen as "smart" rather than evil and parasitic, and it's been a race to the bottom ever since.

I remember test-driving one as a yute, but did not buy. Forget why, probably because, even back then, it was darned near an orphan. One little car, that I used to own, and wish I still had? The Austin 1100. It was the "slightly bigger" brother to the Mini, with the same power plant, sporting a bit more displacement, but what was really cool was its "hydro-lastic" suspension, with the "springs" being pressurized air bladders containing fluid, with front and rear being interconnected. It had amazingly good ride and handling, and cornered like a slot car. Pinin Farina styling, so did not look like a Mini at all. They sold a version in the USA, and also Canada, called the Austin America, with a 1300 engine. They are very hard to find now.

I'm in the home of a family member who lost her husband 2 days ago. The cats are a couple of oblivious, indifferent snips. Lounging on his empty hospice cot, zooming around the kitchen while none of us can eat and yowling "WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?" and generally waiting or demanding to be entertained when they're not napping.

I've tried Wally and my local grocery every brand Including Scott is 'Septic Safe' which assures that it will dissolve in your hand. Amazon too although I haven't check every one yet. My next stop is Dollar General and Dollar Tree. If I find some I'm getting every package.
Posted by: Braenyard
I get Scott at Wally.
Package says "dissolves 10x faster" but is still just as abrasive as ever.
Septic tank here too.
Best to keep oils & fats out.
Cellulose no problemo.

That Kentucky dental problem? From the 'headline' I really thought it was going to be trans surgery and not superfluous dental work by a quack dentist. The school officials need to join the dentist in jail.

That's exactly what I thought, and the dental thing is almost creepier. What's going on while those kids are anaesthetized and parents aren't allowed on the premises?

Ajax is now 14. He is having issues with the stairs, but the minute I ask if he needs help he will shamble on up. He's such a good dog and every now and then he forgets that he is not a spry even 10 year old anymore.
We were at my parents and I let him out. He did his business and he comes back in. He got to running like he always did to hit the stairs at a gallop and he smacked right into the stairs and fell back on his butt. He looks up at me with a confused look 'What the hell just happened?' Sorry, buddy.

Again, not a cat person. Neighbor's cats...But I love these cats.
The cats remember my kindness. One, Twilight, lost her kittens, the neighbors had to go away and I took care of her for days....just petting her feeling heartbroken.
Last week,she gave birth to five kittens. I took care of all of the cats through the weekend. I've never seen aniamls with small babies before. I let Twilight out several times a day. There was once or twice before she went in to nurse the kittens that she looked at me, tired, ginned up her strength,, went into the bed and let the kittens get milk.
The other cat earlier had two kittens who are grown now...they are the cutest things ever. Fluffy as hell. And one is called Trumpy so you know they are raised right.
I've gone into the neighbours backyard, called out and have had three cats run out to greet me. It was just weird. And since we live across the street, the record is 3 cats in the yard to greet me.
The oldest two were there to greet me today as I did grip hanging exercises in the garage. Starry stayed the entire 30 minutes. Beautiful cat. Made me happy.

Already having a family dentist is kinda sorta bullet proof against any 'neglect' claim with CPS.

In Kalifornia, it can be very Laverntiy Beria; they'll find something to go after you over. So many CPS horror stories, especially those involving MFing hospitals whose first impulse is to call an injury child abuse just to take the kid away from parents. Couple that with a corrupt legal system (St. Louis family court is a great example) and you can be royally screwed.

Oh there are many stories. As most labs, shehas had a voracious appetite. Jules made Christmas cookies when Bailey was young, left them to cool off on the counters, shut the pocket doors so the dog couldn't get in.
We had no idea the cat could get the door worked open and let Bailey in to devour most of 10 dozen cookies. And she got "sicker than a dog".

Based on evidence from Australia, when running Bartertown you probably don't want to include a Thunderdome. Also, be wary of nomads in souped-up cars with the name of Max, and by all means don't allow anybody named Masterblaster to control any vital infrastructure.
Also, when you inevitably move on to controlling the only source of potable water, never hire anyone with the name Furiosa. avoid conspicuous displays with flaming guitars, and try to get your henchmen/thralls to be a little less kamikazi in their outlook. Those things lead to problems.

Maybe you can saw your leg off before..." (explosion) "Guh-golly, that's gonna leave a mark." Also, Clarence is a mute nine-year-old whose halo has a razor edge and is employed like a boomerang.

Adjusting my tin-foil hat, I have to wonder if all this lawlessness, including the illegal lawlessness (besides being a Dem voter enrollment scheme), is a set-up to have retail chains, according to the news, remove self-checkouts, thus increasing the jobs market/numbers. I mean, according to Dementia Joe's FBEye, we have the lowest violent rate in 50 whole years. What was lied by omission is that people are not reporting crime like they used to thanks to knowing the police either won't show up at all or, if they do come, write up {YAWN} a report that goes nowhere.
I'm not sure if we're being lied to by the best or the worst liars, but whatever they're getting away with their lies for the time being.

Many above said it best: Corruption. I'm sure the dentist is performing work that doesn't need to be done and padding the bill, or just billing for no work at all (the kid's out cold and no parent around). Then someone in the school is getting a kickback from the dentist for all the 'referrals'.
For kids, public schools are becoming little Auschwitz', and I wish I was being hyperbolic.

Just pointing out that cats can be attuned to what's going on. In a lot of ways, they're kinda assholes, but can pick up on some human emotional cues (not nearly as well as dogs can).

He got to running like he always did to hit the stairs at a gallop and he smacked right into the stairs and fell back on his butt. He looks up at me with a confused look 'What the hell just happened?' Sorry, buddy.

LMAO Aetius, thanks for the good chuckle. In the past yr we've really noticed Bailey's dementia. She would just lay there and bark at nothing, we called it barking at ghosts. Sad, but kinda funny too.
And she had trouble w/ mobility, her hind end went to shit. But she'd just get up and move on, always seemed happy and not in pain. However today was time, her body was just giving out on her, despite her spirit.

Well, that's an easy, answer, too: What, you expect poorparents moms to take care of dental, breakfast, lunch and dinner for their children? When Daddy Gub'mint is right there handin' out free shit? C'mon, man. 'Sides, gotta get those nails done to look good for their man. Who has time (and potentially ruins a new nail job) to take care of the kids? That's what schools are FOR.

George Carlin had this routine about his cat running into something and its reaction was "f***ing meow," followed by immediately regaining its composure and assuming the look of "I meant to do that."
And if you have a cat, you know the fundamental truth of that. Feline dignity and the need to look cool and in control. Dogs, God bless them, have the honesty to react with "What the Hell happened? God, that hurts!"
I love both species, and had the great experience of seeing them playing and having fun together. Our last cat but one, Bob, only met his canine sister, Betsy, after my mother passed away. (Mom, for some reason, always named her dogs Betsy, so Betsy was our inheritance) Betsy was older and skittish, while Bob was a spry youngster, and it was like he became her caretaker. When we got back from a trip, Bob would guide her into the house, allowing time to answer the call of nature.

I fully believe in animal emotions. After Twilight lost her kittens, several days later, our friends went on vacation for a while and I was there to take care of the two cats,
Animals and emotions. Even cats...yeah. I was there twice a day and stayed to pet and caress Twilight as much as she wanted. It was horrible. At one point, she was outside when I was walking our dog Ralphy. I held his head and talked to him so he had no idea what was going on and Twilight came up and rubbed against him.
Broke my heart.
But last week, when she was horribly pregnant and days after I thought she was going to give birth, girl would come across the street to see me, roll over to relieve pain I'm sure and want to be petted.

Further progress on Frank Capra's The Road Warrior, the closing narration from George Bailey's daughter Zuzu:
And so began the journey north from Bedford Falls to safety, to a nice place near Albany that Mama saw in Better Homes and Gardens Among us we found a new leader: the man who came from the sky, Uncle Harry, the Douglas SBD Dauntless Captain. And just as Uncle Billy had planned, we traveled far beyond the reach of men on machines. The gasoline, the precious unleaded was hidden in the vehicles. [fade to shot of young Zuzu] As for me, I grew to womanhood and in the fullness of time I became the leader, the Chief of the Great Northern Amway and Luthern Tribe. And George Bailey, the Road Warrior, my father? That was the last we ever saw of him. He lives now only in my memories, him and Donna Reed, my mom, wearing that metallic mesh (Uncle Billy called it a bikini?) get-up and speeding through the night. Sometimes I think I hear the roar of a chopped down Studebaker in the night, and a voice saying "No, Donna, that's not the gearshift, but that, uh, golly,that works too."

I've had cats, pretty much all my life. Even in my Fortune 1000 years, I lived so much the Road Warrior Life, that it would've been terribly unfair to any dog, given my horrendous schedules.
Dogs NEED clockwork regularity, which I could never have given.
So, cats. A lifelong succession of them.
They're every bit as perceptive and giving as dogs. Albeit, less OVERTLY so.
Cats will burrow deep into the subtle side of your soul. But, borrow, they will.
And far more deeply IN, than you ever might imagine.
Hurts like HELL when they leave.

POTTER: I've got the reprobates, the cretins, the Columbia Protestors, and the Rotary Club on my side, George. What have you got?
GEORGE: (Visibly shocked) Th-th- Rotary Club!?! How-how did you...
POTTER: Really bitchin' fried fish suppers. The Toastmasters will be joining us soon. I only had to promise them the chance to meet Zig Zigler. It's really Buck Owens. They won't know the difference.
GEORGE: You-you-you monster! After force feeding Uncle Billy lute fisk for hours! (Cut to UNCLE BILLY writhing in agony, foam spewing from his lips)
POTTER: What are you going to do, George? Appeal to that "Guardian Angel" of yours?
CLARENCE: (Face flushed with anger, removes and flings his halo) GWRRRR!
(The halo makes an arc around Potter who grabs it, saying)
BUCK OWENS: I'm a pickin'... (as the halo severs all his fingers) I...ain't...a....grinning.

Sorry, script problem: the Oddjob-like razor rimmed halo makes an arc around POTTER, and BUCK OWENS grabs it.
Also, the last lines from the scene were omitted:
ZUZU: Mommy, teacher says when an angel gives his halo a fling, bastards lose all sorts of things.
DONNA REED (Not going to call her Mary): That's right, dear, but your teacher is also one sick little bitch. George, wherever we go to after we leave this dystopia, we really need to give K-12 education some careful reconsideration.
GEORGE: One thing at a time, dear. Zuzu, only listen to what your-uh-teacher says about Molotov Cocktails and Punjee Sticks. Right now I'm a little busy waiting for Uncle Harry to zoom in at treetop level and do some strafing.
POTTER: (Eyes widening in shock) That would violate the Geneva Conventions!
GEORGE: ( Looking up as a faint whine of propellers can be heard) If I were you, I'd be more worried about strafer fire violating my duodenum. Muh-muh-my suggestion, Potter, see how fast that geriatric carcass of yours can run.

So very true. My wife and I have both had the experience of our cats coming to our laps or resting on our chests when they know we're feeling down or really ill. And I'll never forget how from first to last, our family cat would escort our son when he went Trick-Or-Treating. They're subtle, and they seem to pick up on nuances.

There were some unexplainable elements to his decline. His wife's first thought was the vaxx, which he got and regretted, but his medical history also had some iffy omens. Still no one knows how he got his final, very rare affliction and why he couldn't recover when there was every reason he could have.

GEORGE: You sure you-uh-you wouldn't be more at home in Bangkok boy?

GEORGE: (With much effort, rearranges TOE-CUTTER in the Hot Rod the boy arrived in. The camera remains on GEORGE's face.) There we go, young'un, that's uh, the, uh stick shift (scream from TOE-CUTTER) Yeah, that's not where the manual says it should go, just grit your teeth. (Hot Rod roars away to a crash.)

Frank Capra's The Road Warrior Opening Scene
(Camera slowly pans across the immensity of space, highlighting various astronomical wonders. Spectral voices emerge from the void of space)
ST. PETER: A man down on Earth needs our help.
Clarence: Grmmmrp?
ST. PETER: No, worse, he's discouraged. Discouraged because FDR is in his fifth term and America has begun to degenerate into a wasteland of roving bands of hot rodders, bikers, and predatory lenders. A woman has been born named Hillary who portends great evil....
CLARENCE: MMMMph!
ST. PETER: Sorry, I forgot you had learned about the prophecy.
CLARENCE: MMMMHBBBLLLL!
ST. PETER: Yes, and Biden. Best not to think of it now. I need you to go down there and help George Bailey. He's the only man who can lead the people of Bedford Falls to the Never-Never.
CLARENCE: (looks at St. Peter quizically)
ST. PETER: It's an Australian thing. It'll make sense later. Or not. Get down there and make things happen!
(CLARENCE flings his razor sharo halo, which wedges deeply into the Pearly Gates.)
ST. PETER: Be careful with that thing - you've already got John the Baptist in basket-case territory!

CLARENCE: (looks at St. Peter quizically)
ST. PETER: It's an Australian thing. It'll make sense later. Or not. Get down there and make things happen!
(CLARENCE flings his razor sharo halo, which wedges deeply into the Pearly Gates.)
ST. PETER: Be careful with that thing - you've already got John the Baptist in basket-case territory!

Local TV news continues to put a positive spin on campus takeovers:

What would it take to get them to do otherwise, I wonder.

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any
tips?

Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions
for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm
a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a
free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed ..
Any recommendations? Bless you!
