FRIDAY #3015

One Of My Very Own...


ONE TOKE OVER THE LINE


Made another bet that Trump will not be president in 2018.

===
I'm betting on independence AGAIN.

Some 20,000 people are being evacuated after a series of explosions at a massive arms depot in eastern Ukraine described by officials as sabotage.

If the Krauts couldn't break London, what chance does a pissed off twat with a kitchen knife in a Ford Focus have. Piss off ya wankers! 
Turkey's Erdogan threatening to send Europe 15K refugees a month. So even Muslims consider Muslim migrants a threat.
Because he's an idiot and he hates this.

===
"The latest leaks from WikiLeaks' Vault 7 is titled “Dark Matter” and claims that the CIA has been bugging “factory fresh” iPhones since at least 2008 through suppliers."
And you and I will do nothing about it.

===
This happened in my state recently.

===
The US is going to war with North Korea, UK is leaving the EU, the UK is breaking up, cats and dogs are living together! 2017 ain't no better than that last one.

===
An email concerning police in my front yard: "Will you post more info about your front yard get together? I know that there is a lot of negative things going/opinions floating around on civilian-police interactions, and it is encouraging to see positive items as well."
It was actually rather moving. The shift supervisor brought both the out-going and the in-coming officers for their normal briefing. Everyone has a specific zone to patrol. They can go anywhere in the city if the need arises, but under normal circumstances they frequent their assigned zone.
He checked them out to make sure they all had their necessary equipment and looked sharp, and introduced them to us, since they were all assigned to our zone.
Then he said that one of the reasons they had these front yard meetings was because his officers only came in contact with the worst of our city. They see pain, hatred, filth and lawlessness day in and day out, and it's good for them to get out and meet the "Normal" people.
I thought it well worth everyone's time.

"Though a mild cocaine user, Adolf Hitler preferred the use of stronger amphetamines. He utilized them for not only medical treatment but during speeches and war as well. Methamphetamine in the form of the tablet Pervitin was distribute to Wehmacht soldiers, allowing his army to expend themselves much further than the allies."

Wow!

THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL TODAY

Shown are orbits of around 350 Dwarf planets (not counting orbits of regular planetary bodies shown).
Keep in mind however that it is estimated that they are closer to over 10,000 (possibly) dwarf planets, past Neptune.

Welcome to America.

You can hear the difference between hot and cold water.
I'm waiting on one of you people with children to prove that to me.

THINGS ENDING UNEXPECTEDLY

This was taken in Northern Ireland in 1998, during the Troubles. The red car beside this father and child was actually a car bomb that went off shortly after the picture was taken. The man and child survived, but the photographer died along with 28 other people.

A Few Challenges to Building "The Wall"

1. will threaten local jaguar populations, especially on the U.S. side, by restricting the animal's natural migratory patterns.
2. A portion of the fence on the Tohono O'odham tribal lands. This "reservation" is the largest parcel of Native American land crossing an international border in North America. The U.S. Border patrol is already in the process of building a fence - like the one above - across Tohono O'odham lands, which will essentially cut off the approximately 25,000 members in the U.S. form the several thousand that live in Sonora, on the Mexican side. 
3. The Pacific terminus of the border. That's Tijuana on the right, which butts right up agaiunst the U.S. border. It's questionable how much farther into the sea "The Wall" could realistically go, and it won't deter a strong swimmer anyway.

4. This is far more typical of the Rio Grande's path along the border. That "peninsula" in the center is Mexican land, almost completely surrounded by U.S. territory. Again, these bends in the river aren't counted in the 2,000 mile border calculation, and there are hundreds of them. So if "The Wall" is to follow the border, it will be many hundreds of miles longer than many of us might expect.

I'm amused they call you "Normal" people. Apparently they don't read your blog. Keep up the good work Sir Ralph.
