Perhaps the solution is to create a new visitor form. You fill it out, sign it, and get it notarized and witnessed. You get admitted, but have to wait for a country to adopt you, because you aren't a US citizen anymore.
It gets hazy if no one wants to adopt them after 6 months or a year.

I’ve seen a fireworks display from a plane. Not as impressive as I would have thought .
Ive also seen a display over the Niagara River, from the deck of the Peace Bridge. Now that was cool. You’re up high enough to be closer to the air bursts, and still have the dark sky act as a perfect background.

If they had simply said 'Piss off, you Wankers', the British would have instantly understood. But no list of grievances.
TJ spent a good deal of time writing The DOI. While many complain about the slavery then allowed, as if that was anything new in the world or old as Time (not an excuse), but his words ring through History like the Liberty Bell. Some men have the gift of being able to write for his and future generations, laying out a political philosphy unknown until that time. Jefferson did. The idea of Freedom from nobility, again as old as time. Because Freedom in America is Business. We are the Feregis of this planet. Some would say in a bad way, or just as bad as Ferengis are portrayed.
But there's something in the human spirit about controlling your own destiny. We had smart people guide us. The first Revolution to overthow a parent country/gov't that did not lead to massive bloodshed after. Smart men.

Manga is the comic book form, but that’s wrong because manga are drawn for grown men, old ladies, young girls, young boys, and as is common here, some are just for children. Anime is just the animated form. Manga is often the starting point for an anime series, but not always: some anime are original, or come from light novels (our closest equivalent would be YA, but again that’s not right - young adult novels usually don’t have the occasional illustration in them - although they used to!). Sometimes anime and manga are drawn from Japanese or Chinese history, or even from serious novels, like The Tale of Genji, arguably the world’s first novel!

I was on mlb dot com checking out strikeout leader.
.
1. Nolan Ryan: 5,714 strikeouts
Ryan took over as MLB's all-time strikeout leader on April 27, 1983, when he passed Walter Johnson with No. 3,509. Then he struck out 2,205 more batters before his career was over. The Ryan Express is the only Major Leaguer in the 5,000-strikeout club -- he reached that milestone by striking out a fellow Hall of Famer, Rickey Henderson, on Aug. 22, 1989. In his career, Ryan led his league in strikeouts 11 times, and he struck out more than 300 batters in a season six times. He joined the 3,000-strikeout club as an Astro on the Fourth of July in 1980 by striking out Cesar Geronimo.

The Whitman "Stories for Young Readers" series, esp. the TV Western novels like those for Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and Have Gun -- Will Travel, had an illustration in each chapter that really helped nine-year-old me picture the events being narrated. I don't know if those were what we'd call "Young Adult" reading today. I never felt I was being written down to back then, and re-reading many of them now as an adult, I'm still entertained and carried along.

We have shed a lot of tears today.

Monday morning I go for a pre-op exam at the surgeon's in prep for the hernia carving on 7/14. No need to fast for the blood work on this, though. The week will be full of errands and making sure I have enough groceries stockpiled; I probably won't feel much like driving or walking around Walmart for a while after the surgery.

The blades I trimmed down to 14 3/4" using a chop saw, and drilled out the center holes to 3/4" so they could be used on my Dixon mower. Drilling those holes out was a bee-yotch; blades are hardened steel, and a high-speed drill would scarcely touch it. Got them all sharpened, balanced, and mounted, and took the Dixon for a test mow. It cut real fine, better than with the old worn-out blades, but one of the dividers under the deck came loose, and clattered on one blade. I'll hoist it up tomorrow, and weld it back in place.

Kill the King kind of thing. Though not from the top down. From the bottom up. This is the story of most revolutions, isn’t it?
Those with wealth, and power, are not usually prone to rock the boat. They have too much to lose.
That’s what made the founding fathers so remarkable. And Donald Trump, for modern context. Fabulously wealthy. Beautiful family, good kids. He didn’t have to soil himself with Politics. He enjoyed the admiration of many in and out of Washington, DC. That is, until he rode down that escalator. He could have kept himself busy playing golf.
Instead he’s tryijg to save the country, at great personal risk. He reminds me very much of the founding fathers. They shoukd try to clone him, really.

He should have - in many ways the American Revolution was the continuation of many of the ideas that came to the surface during the English Civil Wars, 1640 -1649. The founding fathers were certainly aware of it, and a big reason they were so careful to limit and separate powers was a common sense of “let’s not have it all go wrong like it did last time!”
I also have found that the English to this day are very loathe to talk about their civil war. (Whereas we talk about ours all the time). But theirs was different; it released an ugliness, a lust for destruction that they’ve never been able to admit was there.

_Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) executed Operation Spiderweb, an audacious drone assault on Russian airfields that destroyed or damaged a number of Russia’s most prized aircraft,
_June 13, 2025, Israel’s Mossad orchestrated a similarly bold strike, dubbed Rising Lion, targeting Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. ...
These operations quite possibly signal a new era of warfare: patient, subversive infiltration by committed adversaries willing to play the long game.

Actually, I don't get the no meat part. We are omnivores. We get certain proteins and necessary fats from meat, most especially for our brains. We have canines to tear meat and molars to grind it. That's who humans are. We're the top preditor in the animal world on this planet. We even eat alligator tail, a pretty good predator in its own right.
I think the no bacon thing is the most concerning, though. That's just . . . , I don't, eating bacon at Customs should be required for entry into the US, even as a visitor. And look into revoking some birthright citizenship. Just because . . . BACON!

After sundown, there was a fireworks show to rival the country club's. I remember seeing the big boxes with Chinese on the side. Must have been several bucks' worth!
One time I got to go out to behind the little wall where they set off the major works. My two older brothers were running the show that year.
There were two mortars for the two different sized fireworks. My brothers had the great idea to end the show with two simultaneous big bright flash-bangs. Those were supposed to go in the smaller mortar, but rather than delay the second one, my brilliant siblings decided it would be okay to use the wrong mortar for one of them.
So, one went up high, but the other went halfway up and came back down, exploding very near me, knocking me off the tailgate of the station wagon and deafening me for awhile. I can still see the flash.
My brothers. Somehow I not only survived them, but outlived them.

I’m trying to imagine say, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, trying to feed 25 to 45 people expending 4000 to 6000 calories a day cording up the Missouri. Vegetables are OK, for survival purposes, when you can’t get any meat.
Protein, and Fat. That was the name of the game. Still is, but we (as a society) have become very sedentary. A boyfriend who shows up to a BBQ with fake meat is profoundly suspect. He should be arguing the finer points of Pecan versus Mesquite versus Hickory, or the relative merits and differences of a Porterhouse versus a T-Bone, that kind of thing.

The second militia, based in the southern city of Khan Yunis, is said to be led by a man named Yasser Hnaidek, who “is receiving Israeli aid – both in weapons and humanitarian supplies

In the case of courts, while the legit courts were infiltrated, intimidated, and neutered in many ways, the Nazis wanted a more efficient tool of repression, so they established a parallel system of "people's courts" or "special courts". This where in the infamous Roland Friesler presided.

This 4th of July rings so very different, so very and deeply different from past celebrations of our country's founding.
Why might you ask?
Because we have turned a page. We, as a majority of the voting block have said Hell NO to the Socialist/Marxist creep that has infected our nation especially over the previous 4 years of the Biden/Obama doctrine. We have voted that our REPUBLIC is what matters. And we put this in the hands of one Mr. Donald Trump who promised in his campaign to give new life to our REPUBLIC.
He has delivered on his promises though I am saddened by the riff between him and Elon and I truly hope they can make peace as they are both men who want the best for America
I will now go under the Orange Tree with my wine to watch the fading fireworks of this, a greatest 4th of July.

So many children missing from the camp.
I wonder about the adults who ran the camp. Why so many children missing and there is no news about the adults. Did the adults escape.

Hiya scamp!
I just walked back home. Stuff is ramping up again after the beach was formally “closed.”
One of my favorite recent 4th of July memories is 2020 in LA when they told folks there was no celebrating allowed. The video from drones was insane! I’ve never seen an urban neighborhood so lit up. It made me so happy!!!

Ah! This would be in the part of France not controlled by the Vichy collaborateurs. My mistake. We are talking about executions in France though, aren’t we? I think that would be why they would use a guillotine, pro forma.

No. Reichhart worked in Germany. He beheaded those found guilty of being in the White Rose Society, for example.

I just read a high school soccer coach and his family were vacationing in Hunt, Texas and they are all missing.

Rescued children have been reunited with their families in Texas, but the heartbreak continues as more than 20 children are still missing in the aftermath of the devastating floods in Texas.
School buses and military-style rescue trucks pulled in one by one, carrying frightened, mud-soaked children.
Inside, tearful reunions unfolded as parents clung tightly to their sons and daughters. “I just want to go home,” whispered one child through tears.
One father stood frozen, eyes scanning every bus door, waiting for any sign of his 8- and 10-year-old daughters still lost in the chaos.
Rescue teams haven’t stopped searching.

Terrible. It has a very familiar feel about it. There are people who were never found:

My heart is breaking over the tragedy in Kerr County Texas.
Daughters swept away in flash floods, a parent's nightmare...
I have only tears and prayers, tears and prayers. Did they get any warning?

Pretty much. There was a press conference of responders, looked like firemen's uniform, said that none of the media predicted this and challenged them if that was not so. There was no contest. But that Judge if he was informed last night, not tonight of a potential problem he's got some answering to do.

It’s not unusual for rainstorms in Texas to ‘train’ an area. Something similar happened when hurricane Harvey came ashore and high pressure cells blocked it from moving away from the coast. The hill country area gathers that rain and sends it sweeping through the valleys in flash floods. Hopefully some of these campers can still be found alive.
