Cool and wet. OR Hot and wet. Won’t know until we get there. But yesterday was overcast and cool almost all day, and actually cool once the rain started. Some cool would be nice.
Spent the day at home. Had to take the kid to the orthodontist, then school. The other kid stayed home sick. And the plumber came to do the gas line for the whole house gennie. Yep, the one that has been sitting there for years.
It lives! Started right up too. Now I’ve got some electrical to do, a battery to buy, and some sound absorption stuff to install. It will be nice to have finally made progress on that project. Honestly don’t know why it’s taken so long, but part of it was biting the bullet on the expense. Part of it was “just do it.”
Cooking a nice brisket for dinner rounded out the day.
Today should be domestic bliss, and some auction stuff. I’ve got one pickup to do, maybe two. I need to talk with the auctioneer that’s been selling for me and get that going again. I need to move some stuff to storage, and look to see what electrical stuff I’ve got stored deep at the secondary location. It would be nice to get some other stuff done too. The week flew by.
Like they are wont to do.
So stack what you can while you can. Make a little progress every day. Like the rapidly vanishing year, you’ll be amazed what the little steps add up to.

Avoiding “Mpox” is fairly simple but no one wants to dare suggest that people “keep it in their pants”, particularly when addressing the behavior of the gay male segment of the population in the US and Western Europe.

BTW, the girl on the right in the picture of the fish parade from the “salmon festival” is wearing a $350 pair of boots. Tecovas Annie. Probably got them at the company’s showroom here in Austin during one of the bacchanalia events.

The showroom may feature a bar in Austin. I know Yeti has a bar in their outlet nearby on South Congress.
I swear I remember my wife being offered a glass of wine in Nashville at the Tecovas showroom when we stopped for her to look, but the staff were subtle about it in front of “the husband”.
My friend’s divorce lawyer – a woman – always has a forensic accountant go over the “ladies only” weekends in party cities, particularly 50th birthday party junkets. My friend was amazed at what his wife had been up to in Vegas on multiple trips once the accountant did the deep dive.
Not that it really matters in Florida, with “no fault” divorce, but the right judge will still weigh the debauchery when considering the settlement.
In my friend’s case, following the accountant’s audit, the wife moved to settle and give up her half of the house for a reasonable number where she had been seeking 100% of the house previously as well as all of her 1099 cash from being a DEI consultant on the side.
re the Georgia school murders
Are you saying the father should be executed?
I’m not sure how they can charge the father with murder.
“Because he gave a gun to a minor and enabled him.
It is a stretch if you ask me.”
Georgia School Shooter Had Been Flagged to the FBI and Interviewed a Year Ago
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2024/09/05/georgia-school-shooter-had-been-flagged-to-the-fbi-n3794084
Not a stretch at all.
Charging the father with murder in the Georgia case is a very slippery slope. The supposed reason is because the father gave the son the gun that was used in the shootings.
Let’s take that rational further. Suppose I gave my son a car on his 16th birthday. He then kills someone with the car. Can I now be charged with accessory to murder, manslaughter?
My wife gives me a gun as a Christmas present. I go berserk and kill a couple of people (mostly ’cause they needed killing). Can my wife now be charged with murder simply because she gave the weapon?
A friend asks to borrow my car. The friend did not tell me why. He then uses that vehicle to rob a bank and, in the process, kills someone. Can I now be charged with accessory to murder?
A friend kills a couple of people. He then comes to my house and asks to stay there for the night. I have no knowledge of what he has done. When he is found the next day can I be charged with harboring a criminal and accessory to murder?
I am afraid that in all of the above cases the answer will be “yes”. In actual practice the DA can charge me with anything and make my life miserable. I would have to prove innocence, prove I didn’t do something or had no knowledge. Anyone can be charged with a crime, at any time, for any reason, if the DA so chooses. The Humper explained that very clearly

I hope the state of Georgia is proactive in providing for the protection of criminals. They should make condoms freely available to the inmates before this pair is place in genpop.
I think the GBI overreacted and overcharged. I don’t know if GA has any “red flag” laws, secured weapons laws, or State background checks. Murder, how do you prove intent, is slim. Manslaughter, look how they charged Killer Baldwin, I can see. But, a jury can flog a dead horse and get any conviction. Then it is up to the corrupt court system.
Things that make you say “Hmmm ….”: IIRC, the Zulocks’ mansion wasn’t far from the town where the shooting took place.

On school shooters
A modern-day Damnatio memoriae. If the press had morals, they would do it themselves to help prevent copycat behaviour.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae
On charging the father of the Georgia school shooter. It might or might not stick as a matter of law, but it will certainly catch attention “pour encourager les autres”. That might be reason enough for the prosecutor to proceed.
On Karma. My elderly MIL was involved in a fender-bender yesterday. Nothing very serious, and no injuries, but the driver and occupants of the vehicle that caused the crash declined to identify themselves, and vociferously called for “no police, no police!”, thereby clearly intimidating an already-shocked senior. Vociferously enough that plain-clothes officers overhearing the commotion during their lunch-break summoned uniformed colleagues to intervene.
MIL is OK, if upset. Fortunately her guardian angel was on the ball. Apparently charges have been laid by the officers against the other parties. They also reviewed CCTV footage and produced a written assessment exonerating MIL from any fault in the accident. Moral: if you are going to cause an accident and then deny your involvement, don’t do it directly outside a police station.
All of what you said, sir. I grew up with the gun rack over my bed. .308, two 20’s, 410, two 22LR, and a Ruger 22 Bearcat wheel-gun, all of which I had access to and fired before I was 16. I was encouraged. My parents were potential murderers.
I smell politics and name-making in the GBI. Will Trent would be embarrassed. Wait a minute, Hollyweird, so rah, rah, hang ’em by the neck until dead. The father was probably some Redumblican Redneck anyway. GA could build a father-son gallows.
The gun, purchased for a 14 year old, was an AR15 variant IIRC.
Of course it is politics. The family is white and the gun is an “assault weapon”. The victims were “people of color”.
The scenario isn’t 100% what the media wanted in a mass shooting case leading into the election, but they never let an opportunity go to waste.
Plus Athens has a lot going on this time of year with school in session and one more patsy being fed to Uga the Bulldog at Sanford Stadium on Saturday.
Party on Wayne. Party on Garth -er- Bubba.
Taking a wild guess, the difference between the millions of fathers that have given their young sons rifles and the father of the young Georgia murderer is:
—most of those fathers, if not all, did not get a visit from the sheriff after their son’s social media account was used to post a threat of a school shooting
—most of those fathers, after assuring the sheriff that their son did not have unsupervised access to guns, bought the son a rifle and did not supervise his access
—most of those father’s sons did not take their rifles to school and murder four people

@Ray Thmpson
The answer in all cases is indeed yes, but there are additional questions that could elicit facts pertinent to the application of the law and the success of any defense:
/Whiiinnnny:
So, what did the Sheriff do, the school, and the GBI? Nothing. Are they responsible in any way? They knew about the kid, also.
So, why should anybody do what a LEO says? LEOs lie, cajole, arrest, try to enter your home, inventory your weapons, etc., all under the auspices of the law.
Well, duh. My point exactly. There is no way any type of murder charge applies to the father. Maybe he made a video “Now, son, take this new AR15 and kill your classmates.” Negligent homicide, a jury will decide. This could be as bad as tRump’s trial. The judge said convict him on any charge that you feel like and he’s guilty on all charges.

They want to have items costing up to $7 and have already transitioned some stores, where they are seeing higher tickets as more “wealthier” customers stop in to shop.
There comes a point where there isn’t anything meaningful or useful to sell for a dollar. And suppliers are going to balk at creating packaging with smaller amounts of their product, just so the unit price is under a dollar…
n
Do you really think any DA is going to ask any of those questions? The DA wants to get someone charged. The fact that it costs the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees, then is found innocent, is of little concern to the DA. The DA wants public opinion on their side and will do what is necessary to get someone charged. When the case quietly goes away the DA does not care, they made their headlines.
Dollar stores should transition to “Fin and Sawbucks” 🙂

They are still sending the tech since the cable is banging in the wind, that caused the connection to come loose.
I’m going to drop this here, and then leave for a while to do errands. Not ideal. Observations, not judgements.
@drwilliams, you are arguing from the leftist perspective that the GUN is important, and also from the idea of group guilt. This is uncharacteristic of you. The crime the kid committed was the unlawful taking of life. What he used to do it is immaterial wrt the crime committed. The kid, individually, made choices. ACTIVE choices. He decided to steal the gun. He decided to bring it to school. He had to have separated the upper and lower to conceal it in his bag. He assembled it. He went to the classroom. He chose to insert a magazine, pull the charging handle, and then pull the trigger. He made that decision many times. At ANY point in the chain of decisions he could have ended without bloodshed, and then later without as much blood shed. HE made the decisions. HE has sole responsibility for taking those lives.
There is no collective or group guilt or responsibility for the kid’s actions, unless it turns out the father egged him on or encouraged him.
The most deadly school killing incident was a fire. It does not matter how the killing was accomplished, the victims are dead, and how they got dead is a distraction at best.
———–
Absent encouragement from the father, or some other person, there isn’t and can’t be group guilt. It’s opposite what our whole legal system is built around.
You can’t be an accessory unless you KNOWINGLY contribute.
Group guilt is absurd on its face. What about the guilt of the LEOs involved? The neighbors? CPS? the school and school district staff- after all, the evidence that they failed in their duty of care is smeared in red on the floor… The school district hired consultants, spent taxpayer money to “secure the schools”, institute anti-bullying schemes, train teachers in SEL, hire councilors, hire cops to be in schools, determined the schedule and assignments for those cops, and has declared the schools to be “gun free zones” yet there was a gun there… so they are all guilty too.
What about the press that glorifies these murderers? Or the internet providers who carry the ‘news’? Where is their guilt? How is it parceled out?
When everyone is guilty, no one is guilty.
Our western world is built on the idea of free will, that INDIVIDUALS can choose and act or not act. And it’s built on the idea that there must be an ACT. Thinking about a crime isn’t one. Talking about a crime isn’t one. Only when there is a ACT, a choice, an expression of volition, does there become a crime.
It may yet come out that the father did have some participation in the crime, beyond buying a gun for his son’s use (which is legal.)
Remember that the bug eyed freak that murdered people at Sandy Hook Elementary killed his mother to get access to her secured guns. Should she have bought a better safe? Maybe put it in a concrete vault? Stored firing pins in a bank safe deposit box? Where does it start and where does it end? That’s why group guilt isn’t a thing, and why the only one (so far) who committed a crime is the kid.
————
sorry to drop this and leave, but stuff isn’t gonna get itself and the kid needs a ride.
n
I think it is really not the group guilt that is being used. I think that charging the parents is a way for the legal system to cause people to fear having guns. A way to stop stores from selling guns. A way to stop manufactures from making guns. A way to remove guns from legal ownership. If a gun owner, store, manufacturer is liable to get charged as an accessory to any crime, simply because they own, bought, sold, or made the gun, then owning a gun becomes somewhat of a crap shoot. The risk from collateral legal problems is becoming too great.
If I break into Mr. Nick’s home, steal his guns, kill several people, is Mr. Nick also responsible for the crime because he did not secure his guns? If Mr. Nick sells me one of his guns and I commit a crime with that gun is Mr. Nick responsible because he did not do a background check on myself?
This charging people who had no knowledge a crime was going to be committed, just because it was their property used is a real slippery slope. Yes the father knew his kid had problems yet still bought him a gun. Probably not the smartest thing. Did the father think the kid was going to shoot up a school? No reasonable parent would think their child would do such a horrific event.
It is the same thing as family of the victims suing the gun manufacturer. The maker has no knowledge on the use of the gun. Yet in all the cases that I remember the maker has been sued. The store that sold the gun to the father in this latest case will also probably be part of the inevitable lawsuits.

From CNN
Dr. Eades has been posting about vaccines the last few months on his newsletter The Arrow.
He references two books: “Turtles All The Way Down” and “Dissolving Illusions”.
Prior to Covid, I was a true believer in vaccines. I took every one my doctors ever offered, except flu shots, and I even took them when required by my job. I got hepatitis, shingles, and pneumonia shots.
But the mania surrounding the rollout of the mRNA therapy, its lack of testing and long term study, caused me to balk.
Since then, I’ve learned a lot about vaccines, and none of it is good. The best of them is a tradeoff of risk of death and severe illness from the vaccine itself vs. a reduction in disease and severity of illness from the purported disease. The underplaying of the risk and the overstating of the benefit is important. Informed consent is a joke if you don’t provide all the information.
There’s a theory, supported at least minimally by charts (see his newsletter link), that all viral infections including smallpox were in decline due to imroved sanitation, BEFORE the rollout of their various vaccines. And that’s the REAL vaccines, not the mRNA experiment.
Besides sanitation, there is the natural tendency of diseases to attenuate. If they’re too deadly, they kill the host and can’t propagate. So the theory goes that the same disease changes, becomes more transmittable, and less deadly. Perhaps this explains the smallpox/mpox/impetigo phenomenon.
No vaccine, ever, has been tested against a placebo in a randomized controlled trial. Let that sink in.
All I know is that I took version 2.0 of Dr. Salk’s vaccine in 1971 and I did not get Polio. My Dad talks about growing up in the 1930s and 1940s and people being careful to not touch each other, even in church, due to the fear of getting polio.
I used to know somebody that took version 1.0 of Dr. Salk’s vaccine in the 1950s ??? and he did get Polio. He passed away a few years ago after being in a wheelchair or a powerchair all of his life. He baptized his son, a friend of mine to this day, in our home’s swimming pool in 1974 or 1975. It was a moving event since several men helped carrying him in and out of the pool. There was no way they could have gotten him in the church baptistry.
I think that there is a minimal set of vaccines that one should take, polio being one of those. I am on the fence about the smallpox vaccine, I remember taking that in 1971 also. My son took the smallpox vaccine in 2006 before his second all expense paid trip to Iraq, courtesy of Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children. They gave him over 30 vaccines before each trip to Iraq, running a gauntlet of several navy corpsmen with his company, Weapons Company of the 1/7. He thinks that the experimental flu vaccine with all 7 ? types of the flu was the worst vaccine.

The air fryer arrived yesterday. It’s smaller than the Keurig Duo I have. The fry basket is almost square by about an eighth of an inch. You would never notice but the rack fits only one way. I suppose there is a reason. It has a decently long power cord, none of the eighteen inch nonsense. All in all it seems to be very well built. That it sells for $50, delivered, is pretty wild.
My only gripe, so far, is there should be some kind of “things” on the back side to wrap the power cord around for storage. Just a J shaped post at the bottom and something like a kitchen drawer pull at the top. A triangle pointing down with the top thing doubling as a handle, even, make it a carry handle, to make it easier to remove the fry basket. But, $50, well.
The controls default to Air Fry at 400F. Duh. I figured out the controls before I read the directions beyond “wash the parts with warm soapy water before use”. That’s me, I do this all of the time.
I cooked a handful of Ore Ida french fries last night. The “fast food restaurant” variety. I like the skinny fries better and you have to buy what is on the shelf. I cooked almost too big of a handful, a bit more that I wanted to eat. The fries turned out great.
Today I recalled I might have some Hot Pockets Snacks in the beerator’s freezer. Sure enough, there they were. Open the bag, spray a bit of olive oil, shake it up and spray again. Not a lot of oil actually, I spray more AXE on one armpit. The Hot Pocket’s turned out looking great. But…. what can I say, the Best By date was in 2016. They sure looked pretty. I wasn’t expecting much, that’s why they’ve been in freezer for almost ten years. To the bag o’ trash in the freezer.
They suck anyway, more crust than filling. I eat Hot Pockets for the filling. Well, I did when I worked at HEB.

“At the start of the year, many months after we first pointed out that the biggest untold story of the US labor market was the “great replacement” of native born workers with foreign-born workers (most of whom we subsequently learned were illegal aliens), we asked how is it, that the ongoing replacement (because that’s what it is) of US workers is “not the biggest political talking point right now” considering that “since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs; over the same period foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs””

Vaccines; Most children’s vaccines are multiples; one shot that is supposed to protect against several diseases. When our son was born, my nurse wife demanded separate shots for each disease, separated by a week or two. She believed that multiple vaccines at once were causing problems.

“SAN DIEGO (AP) — A U.S. Navy chief who wanted the internet so she and other enlisted officers could scroll social media, check sports scores and watch movies while deployed had an unauthorized Starlink satellite dish installed on a warship and lied to her commanding officer to keep it secret, according to investigators.”
“Internet access is restricted while a ship is underway to maintain bandwidth for military operations and to protect against cybersecurity threats.”
Ok, this is hilarious. Starlink should advertise this.
“She and more than a dozen other chief petty officers used it to send messages home and keep up with the news and bought signal amplifiers during a stop in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, after they realized the wireless signal did not cover all areas of the ship, according to the investigation.”
Ok, that was over the top.

It is obvious that if the USA forbids new LNG exports then Mexico and Canada will just import more natural gas from the USA and convert it to LNG in their countries. The money is just too much to let the business opportunity lay there.
Yes, we export natural gas to Mexico and Canada in huge amounts from the USA. The natural gas coming from the USA is way cheaper and cleaner than the Canadian natural gas which is sour, very sour. And Mexico’s natural gas wells are in sad shape because the government steals the maintenance and upgrade money.
