So, Scampydog asked if I could fill in for him about three weeks ago. I said, "Sure, I would love to sit in."

I apologize in advance if I sound like weirddave. But, real life has been happening and I'm not giving you as much as I had originally planned.

With that warning, here we go.........

The Quote of The Day (Via Substack)

Between the manufactured Kung Flu pandemic and the treason of The Obama Regime I really don't know if there are enough prison cells.

But who am I kidding?

Nothing will happen. And I hope and pray that I am wrong.

Once again, I'm so Blessed to have The Fabulous..........

So after that enlightening look into the modern world you probably need a chuckle or two.

    I rate the following as partially true.

*****

To be honest with you, I didn't read the entire article to find out if these meals taste any better than the replaced meals.

A slimmed-down, more nutrient-dense, individual field ration is now available for order for all troops.

The Close Combat Assault Ration, or CCAR, has been under development by the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center, or DEVCOM, since 2019.

Portland is home to a rather large community of anarchists, malcontents and mentally unhinged people. Attacking ICE or US Federal buildings are OK. Open air drug markets and unsanitary conditions abound.

But do you know what really upsets the Portland authorities? Vulgar graffiti painted around a pothole. No. I'm not making this shit up.

A crude pothole graffiti tactic got Portland’s attention. Please don’t copy it, officials say

The ONT Musical Interlude & Customer Service Desk Emporium


Born on this day: 29 Jul 1953 Geddy Lee, bass, vocals, Rush, (1980 UK No.13 single 'Spirit Of Radio' 1982 US No. 21 single 'New World Man'). Lee was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on May 9, 1996. The trio was the first rock band to be so honored, as a group.


&&&&&



On this day: 29 Jul 1967
The Doors started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with an edited version of 'Light My Fire'. The group's first US No.1, it only reached No.49 on the UK chart. Eventually, many radio stations in the US would start playing the full six minute and fifty second album cut, which features a longer instrumental break.

Never play dead. Good advice for some of Oh never mind. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A B.C. man suffered minor injuries after fending off a cougar attack by punching the animal in the face in the province's northern Interior last weekend.

The province's Conservation Officer Service said in a social media post that the attack happened on Saturday around 11 a.m. PT near Smithers, B.C., about 670 kilometres northwest of Vancouver.

The service said the man was working near Lake Kathlyn when the animal approached and swiped his upper body.

I remember being 17. After all it was only 12 years ago. Genius Award Winner.

GREAT FALLS — Officials at Yellowstone National Park say that a 17-year-old male sustained "significant thermal burns" to his foot and ankle area.

It happened in the vicinity of Lone Star Geyser on Monday, July 28, 2025.

A news release says the teen was on a hike in the thermal area when his foot broke through the thin crust and he sustained burns to a lower extremity.

Emergency medical staff responded and took him to a hospital for further treatment.

Park officials are investigating the incident; no other details have been released

There are boardwalks for a reason. The idea is that you STAY ON THEM! When I was last there in 2016, the rangers talked about Karens who wanted guardrails added. That’s a big NOPE. This is nature!

There was an individual there a week or two before us that also was a genius award winner. He fell in one of the springs. There wasn’t anything left of him.

60 Today was looooooong as we cleaned up from last night's storm.

The bad news: We might be losing three of our trees. One of them doesn't have a top half anymore, two of them have most of their limbs dangling by strips of bark. My parents lost a tree that they planted the year they moved into their house, when I was a little older than Lil Pooky is now.

The good news: We had so much help today! My in-laws came over with their pickup truck, my high school chemistry teacher and his son (Pooky's best friend growing up) stopped by with chainsaws and spent the afternoon cutting and hauling away. Church youth groups roamed around, helping anyone they spotted. One pickup even stopped and asked if we needed water. Trees did hit houses on a street five blocks from us, but no one got hurt, thank God!

We got a lot done today, now we just need to know the assessments on the trees.

64 According to the rangers at Yellowstone, Chinese tourists were the worst. They have been conditioned that anything unsafe is cordoned off. If there are no guardrails, it’s deemed safe. They want to walk off the boardwalk. There is often a thin layer of “ice” — crusted-over dried chemical residue. Narrator voice: “it’s thin and unsafe.”

What I remember is the local rock station played the long version at first, and then only later (all too soon thereafter) started playing only the short version, to great disappointment and aggravation.

But not as great disappointment and aggravation as the next (?) Summer when they kept playing only Jose Feliciano's lightmyfire lightmyfire lightmyfire lightmyfire.

I agree with you. The first rule of modern flirtation is don't be ugly. You have no way to identify whether a woman considers you ugly without talking to her first. Catch-22.

I'm so glad that I'm married and that things were different then. I worry for my kids.

117 Goodness, I did not realize boys hitting on girls was so dangerous now! That video was mind blowing. "Super Ugly Offended Females" should be a band?

At a university when I was 20, I was one of very few females in all male pre-med classes. 100 to 3 ratio. I am not ugly and could not understand why not one guy asked me out. I was ready. Was it my redneck accent? Rancid BO I was unaware of? My husband, whom I met a year later, said they were intimidated. Well, he sure wasn't!

One guy, finally!, whom I would have run away with except he sadly died (seriously) of cancer months later. It was instant chemistry. A first. Anyway, he seemed interested at the health clinic, and obviously not ill at the time.

I was taking his vital signs, which were normal. He joked that his BP might be high. Why? He said that "anyone who looked at me would have their BP rise." He was teasing, but now this would mean prison, right?

Bf/husband I knew from some keggers/friends. We never had the awkward first kiss because he kissed me with no warning at a party. The death sentence for him? No one else did this prior, but he said he could not resist. I kissed him back.

I needed to report this to the ONT app.

Now that I spent all my money, I'm now soliciting donations so I can pay my mortgage this month.

This will be my third time seeing the band and they are freakishly great. The McCartney Wings band was trash panda stuff. He the put this band together around 2000 and the same line up ever since. I don't say this lightly because I've seen stellar performances in my life, but this whole thing is in a whole different level of excellent. This is the best band I've ever seen and it's not even close.

I was not intimidated by the girl who became Mrs. Wolfus No. 2. It helped that I had known her for a while and we had talked considerably at SF conventions. Then, on our second date, she asked me point-blank if I was after her body.

I said, "Yes."

Things developed well after that.

179 The other night some WNBA player lost her way in the middle of the game. She had to run off and and go put it back on. Well that was happening. Some enthusiastic fan apparently found this all too funny and ended up getting ejected from the stadium. I don't think you could really call what the WNBA does as professional basketball. What it is exactly who knows.

180 8.6 was (I heard) in the top ten of earthquakes, not sure about 8.8. But the tsunami seems much less than what has hit other areas, like Japan in ~2011. A few beach combers might get a big bath, but mostly little damage, at least compared to the other big tsunamis.
Posted by: illiniwek at July 29, 2025 10:09 PM (vbXSk)

Well, it depends upon the sense of motion on the fault. If it's lateral, then not much tsunami will occur. If it's vertical, then a tsunami is likely.

Back in the day at Dahlberg Arena at U of Montana. The student section would toss items on to court when opposing team members were announced. So when Air Force played there, paper planes were toss, Montana State bobcats, kitty litter bags ended up on the court.

The best was when Idaho showed up and potatoes were rolled onto to the court. One year an Idaho player flipped off the students. Next thing he knew there were dozens of potatoes thrown at the Idaho bench. It was mayhem. It was like a WW II naval beach shelling. Players were ducking, falling on the floor or running away.

The team got a technical foul to start the game and the days of tossing things on the court were over.

244 This is consistent with the "women FAFO" video above:

I have a close friend, an attorney, who has a daughter who is drop dead beautiful. Period. Believe this. He told me that regular guys, the kind who might make a good son in law, NEVER asked her out because they reasoned that "a girl who looks like that like that would never go out with ME." So they never tried.

He told me that all the guys who DID ask her out were "cocky bastards" whom he didn't much like.

P.S. The young lady is happily married now & the mother of two kids. So, I guess the situation sorted itself out somehow.

The fact that her parents were wealthy probably played into the intimidation factor as well.

Btw, KC Chefs owner Clark Hunt has a daughter who could be a professional model. Probably take a lot of social courage to ask HER out.

261 Once, in Monterey, a group of people walked into a bar. Mixed male and female group. One of the females conspicuously smiled at me as they sat down, so I made so bold as to go over and greet her once they were seated. “Hi, I’m Bulg,” I said to her, extending my hand. Another hand interposed itself between us. “Hi,” it said. “I’m her husband.”

Wonder how long that marriage lasted.

300 Earthquakes in developed countries can/could be extremely expensive, but not that dangerous. If seismically-oriented building standards are used.

"The big one" here will be an interesting event if it happens. Biggest insurance casualty in human history, but probably not many dead. Lots of hassle. Given the decline in the competence and sense of the US population, and the astonishing transformation of one of the world's best governments (CA) into the state it's in now, things will be much much worse than they need to be. Water, some food, batteries, all I think I need. Ammo and gunzzz - far in excess of needs.

Fun fact: in 2007, with 3 major wildfires in the county, and nearly a quarter million evacuations, the poh-lice and sheriffs had a tiny handful of incidents to respond to. The national (and especially urban) degradation, at least back then, still hadn't yet destroyed this place, in that sense.

313 Some idiot in the Seattle area is suing the Navy, claiming that a performance of the Blue Angels created sonic booms, which killed her cat... and also damaged marine life, like Orcas, in the Puget Sound.
The degree of ignorance this woman displays is breathtaking, but a worse characteristic is that there is actually a lawyer, who supposedly passed the bar exam, is willing to file this heaping pile of bullshit as a lawsuit.
There is no way in hell that the Blue Angels would break the sound barrier in a performance. At the performance altitude, that action would have shattered thousands of windows.
It's another example of the dumbing down of America. During the shooting incident in NYC, a police spokescritter explained that they found, in the suspects car, "a revolver and spare magazines". It's not that people make these errors, it's that supposed " experts" are so damned stupid. A lawyer should know enough to distinguish between a sonic boom and loud noise. Someone in the POLICE department should have enough firearm familiarity to know that a revolver does not use a magazine.

And GSP set the all-time record for consecutive 90F days today, a 39 day run. The old record was 38, set in '93.

And I got pissed off at Mrs. Duke this afternoon. Happened to notice the voltage had dropped to 113V on one leg, 227V line to line. That's the high demand peaking late afternoon. I remember voltage was getting low back in the late '90s on one phase out in the shop. It was 116V, and I thought that was too low.

It's this stupid green shit thanks to Biden. God, I hope Trump and Zeldin manage to roll back this shit. Mrs. Duke has put out several pleas to please conserve.

Interestingly enough, after the US confiscated most of Tesla's papers/research after his death, they sent it to MIT to be evaluated.

And there, one Dr. John Trump with the two Ph.Ds was placed in charged of evaluating the material.

432 The Kamchatka Peninsula earthquake has been upgraded to an 8.8 magnitude. The fault plane solution shows subduction associated with a thrust fault. Which means the sea floor gets shoved up, displacing all that water, so this one generates a tsunami (where a simple strike/slip fault would not). Each increment in magnitude means 32 times the amount of energy is released. So there's a hecka difference between an 8.0 and and 8.8 (neither of which is pleasant). Intensity was rated IX, where the shaking is violent and the damage is heavy. Send a few prayers their way...

454 But I don't think the actual nukes, the payloads, are "leased". France has its "own" subs and SLBMs*, and of course its own nuke program (wish they'd touch some off in the South Pacific to, um, "nuke" the CTBT, which was a stupid idea, as most "arms control" is).

* funner fact: France's SLBM program was helped through critical hurdles by, literally, wink-and-nod US "advice" - French engineers would pass designs, testing protocols, specific problems encountered, to US engineers at meetings, and the US side would provide non-verbal cues as to their advice and answers. To avoid running afoul of laws prohibiting explicit assistance. All in the US interest. Funny, "America First" doesn't really mean anything at all, absent specifics and context.

Is the water going 500mph? You'd feel that. If it's just the wave going 500mph, no.

Flip on a light, and the wave travels at about 2/3 the speed of light in your household wiring.

The actual electrons? Maybe a couple inches per hour.

(And since it's alternating current, they just go back and forth and don't really get anywhere.)

533 AOP, yes, wrap-arounds. A basic aspect of point breaks, for surfing purposes. But the energy (and I would think amplitude) would be diminished, and when leading edges cross/intersect, "confused" surf would result.

535 Topography of the sea floor off the coastline and direction of the tsunami wave controls a lot of the impact. Hilo gets it bad because the sea floor is shallow a fair ways out so there's more "run up" which increases the height of the waves.

Posted by: tankascribe at July 30, 2025 01:25 AM (NtoJk)

536 Semi-Literate Thug, Santee? Anyway, yes, not much to block the sound from Miramar east across Camp Elliott, now East Miramar.

Apparently they no longer do M2 practice on the East Miramar ranges. Counted it as a special privilege to sit on my back porch, ocean in view, idiotic CA residents all around, and hear the sweet mechanical melody of the Ma Deuce drifting over. Also almost certainly a unique thing in any major US city or suburb, these days. But haven't heard it in a while, and some guy at a shooting match in Alpine said they no longer were using those ranges for heavy stuff.

Except you are dealing with one pulse, moving at 500 mph. As it diffracts around an obstacle, the two wave fronts would meet again, and there would be both constructive and destructive interference. You might get "rays" of relative calm, and "rays" of greater pulse height. This sort of thing can be modelled in tanks.

585 580 If you want to try to see the tsunami, go to Earthcam. There are several live cameras showing Hawaiian beachfronts.

Is anything happening? I was on Oahu during a Tsunami warning in the mid 80's... when NOTHING HAPPENED...

Except... a really good Tsunami Party... I was stationed in a Valley at the top of Oahu, and all us single folks were restricted to base... just in case... but... largest Communications station there is... and we KNEW there was no tidal wave ... so... Party on Garth...

Still much danger!!!

588 Like I said earlier, it surged at about 1.1 feet at Adak. Not exactly a deal breaker. I don't think this tsunami is going to do much damage anywhere.

590 Years ago their was a Kudlow & Cramer show. They would sit across a table and talk to each other about money topics of the day. Cramer would go off on some scheme. The look on Kudlow's face was, you have to be out of your ever lovin' mind.

591 I was flipping through the webcams and cam across one from Bali. I was treated to watching an elephant take a dump and then hose it away. Eh. That might be the tsunami. :shrugs:

Serios lost opportunity. I was living in the NCO barracks on a Naval station in a Valley on the top of Oahu... Tidal Wave? There? OK...

Went outside my front door, put on my shorts... got out my surf board, put the leash around my ankle, and sat down in a lawn chair.

My Friend, Big Murph came by... 'what are you doing?'... 'waiting for the tidal wave'... well.. Murph was a Diver.... suddenly he was sitting next to me, Dive gear on, Tanks next to him... as other people got off work...

5 hours later the BBQ had been going for hours... over 100 people partying... everyone at least in a bathing suit... one guy had an inflatable rubber ducky he was wearing... 8 Hours in the next shift got off work, and the guys who had been working security came by with more beer...

Needless to say... Epic party.

597 43 Democrats are salivating at the thought of a catastrophic tsunami devastating the west coast so they can attack Trump over his response.

That is exactly what's happening. They're already saying that Trump will ignore Hawaii because it's a blue state. (I know..never read the comments)

Permian oil output tops 5M bpd—but its wastewater problem is catching up. Texas regulators warn of rising ground pressure, production losses, and seismic activity.
Some drillers are now suing neighbors for damaging reserves. #Permian #OilAndGas #Wastewater

Well, on large parts of the Coast of Los A? there is nothing there anyway as the Dems won't let people rebuild after the fires....

607 A tsunami has a small amplitude in deep water but is different than a normal wave. The height of the tsunami represents a shift of the entire volume of water from the surface all the way to the bottom.

A normal surface wave does not displace the water a significant depths so it contains less energy and cannot propagate as far.

That entire surface to bottom volume contains a very large amount of mass and forcing it all to shift in a small period of time stores a huge amount of kinetic energy. That energy is gradually turned into potential energy as the bottom becomes shallower forcing the water higher but then that height can dissipate energy by flowing forward and backward.

That reverse direction propagation velocity increases as the depth becomes shallower is what also causes the water level to drop before the wave hits.

Eventually the forward motion along with the height forms a wave.
