One Of My Very Own

Have you ever been to Spain - Three Dog Night
Crank it up, folks. I like this song.

NEWSY BITS


How long are we going to tolerate these buffoons?

The most amazing part about that is that a US Senator mows his own lawn.

I got an email informing me that many of the images in one of my posts would not show up. I replied that it must be in his server or signal strength or some such. Then today I opened FO and the same thing happened to me. I closed it and opened it again and suddenly all the images were available. Just thought you should know that the old turn it off and back on again worked for me.

Let me know if that works.

Earth seen from the farthest distance ever travelled by humans; the farthest view of Earth seen by human eyes at the time.

The women fighters who helped defeat ISIS in Raqqa.

Kurdish female fighters have celebrated in Raqqa this week after the defeat of ISIS militants, whose brutal rule over the city has come to an end after almost four years.

When asked what motivated them to dive into one of the fiercest battles against the terror group to date, the women said they did it both for the Kurdish cause and to liberate the women of Raqqa.

ISIS ruled the Syrian city with a barbarity that gripped the world, and women in particular experienced an oppression many never thought imaginable.
They were forced to cover their bodies head to toe or risk public lashings. ISIS also captured and sold girls and women as sex slaves, particularly Kurdish-Yazidi minority women trafficked into Raqqa from northern Iraq.

And here in America, this is what our women brag about...

===
They both ran out of ammo.
They were both praying that the other runs away. In such circumstance, running away is the honorable thing to do. But they are true warriors and they are furious. I find that scene terrifying.

GOOD IDEAS?

I'm an avid blinker users. I wish you were also.

I find these two vehicles wonderful...
Wouldn't you love to drive around back country in that? I wouldn't even want to go that fast; just drive and know I can't get stuck.

I don't know what you guys want so I give you whatever the fuck this is.

That's true about me.

Could that actually work?

I concur.


BOUNDLESS HUMAN STUPIDITY

When someone tells me that to win our football pool all you have to do is pick the bookie's favorites.
By the way, if Green Bay won last night then my grandson won the football pool...again.

Yes, it's titled "Dude in the Cape" but I can't make heads or tails as to what's going on here..

Get a fucking job.

Bullshit.

Greetings again my friend. As per your inquiry, grounding, a.k.a "mindful meditation" Does work if you practice it on a regular basis. It takes a while for it to become second nature, but it helps with my anxiety.

The bobcat doesn't know that the humans pose it a great threat. It does however slowly recognize that there are at least three strange animals in front of it, each of which is three times its size and none of which is exhibiting a prey response. It wouldn't attack an adult human anyway unless defending cubs (and even that's questionable) plus it's daylight and it's a crepuscular animal so that makes it even more timid than usual.

If the cat's thought process were in English, I'd say it went something like, "Something here smells weird. Something here looks weird. I don't know what these are. I'd best be some other place."

Regarding the sails: they're called studding sails. They were very common on rigged warships and some merchant ships. Today they're mostly seen on racing yachts and the like.
