Bad Science
Estimated % of adults who think global warming is mostly caused by human activities, 2016
Looks sciency convincing right? Well then. The following near identical map should be familiar. This is the HRC/DJT election result.
Almost as if some people want politics to drive science and not the other way around.
Big list of weekend topics. Huge ICE sweep in the area. My terrible Ford stock bet. Memorial Day. California drivers licenses and legal ID problem. More local listings. Maybe even a post using Tom Stone's great sources.
In and out myself. Going to try to snorkel with my niece tomorrow. Not easy as her service sponsor has her on a short leash. Return to barracks by 00:00 every night this weekend while on "leave." This is the one that didn't get the academy appointment because she was overqualified. Hard to turn away a kid who while walking into the campus points at the statue near the entrance and says "that's my great-grandfather" but they did and instead gave her a totally free technical university education and a fast track. Maybe no ring but she be getting the salutes from those who wear one.
She got a lot more than $150k. It came as a surprise to me that a certain percentage of academy candidates are diverted to specialty university service. I knew about cadets (etc) doing semesters, even a year away but this path actually makes great sense for the services.
Just have to remember to make sure when I fire up the browser my other gmail account does not automatically start. And remember to log into this e-mail when I want to respond.
I understand the absence of heat is cold. That being every person, movement natural or powered makes heat. Where does it go and what does it do? Where is George Carlin when you need him, Answers never said.
Just watched Penn and Teller. They were fooled. If the earth is warming and thi s would harm us, we have to figure out how to stop it. It does not matter what caused it, except it would help to stop making the hole bigger.
I think if Trump turned magically into the best president ever, the press would hold him unmercifully. And that's not going to happy so it's unmercifully squared. I predict even I will get tired of it.
Second home invasion in a week, here in the little corner of the Great Sewer near my office. Local news says victims transported, perps barricaded. Police advise locals to stay indoors with doors and windows locked.
Local PD still has streets blocked a mile away from the scene, guessing that they are doing a search for loose perps. Local TV news should be interesting tonight. Good thing I have an antenna to pull in broadcast news here. Internet is full of fake news and speculation, the cops of course aren't telling anybody anything other than to cower and wait. Locals are not pleased about the slow reaction time of the PD and paramedics. Swat said to be packing up now, think they have the perp(s?).
UMDan, you are safe here! You needn't worry about any of the regulars disclosing that you are actually a transgendered armadillo with a fondness for cuban cigars. Trust me, I'm a Realtor.
Trangendered? Nope (NTTAWWT), Armadillo? Let me check and get back to you. Cuban cigars - I wish, but I do have a humidor with some CAO Soprano's that are pretty strong.
"Trust me I'm a realtor" I'll remember that.....
And the weekend count in Chicago starts. Actually pretty tame. Must be the rain last night -
Got up early and took mamasan to Trap Falls... We've lived within 10 miles of it for over 20 years but she'd never seen it. Of course, I only saw it for the first time about 7 weeks ago...
UMDan, be thankful you don't live in one of the 13 "Constitutional Carry" Sates like Vermont. You wouldn't believe the level of violence that exists in States that allow concealed carry with no requirement for a license or training.
Cinco, it doesn't look good for Sonoma County Grapes this year ( OK, not good). Too much rain interfered with pollination. And it is a nice day, I walked down to the River at Dawn and came home with a fat 10" trout for breakfast.
Snorkeled with sea lions. Drank four Ballast Point beers. My choice from 40+. Guest grill master in an hour. Blogging is lower priority. Turns out the dawghaus had extended power outage. Doubt the automated update computer restarted.
All watered Roses doing great--for me, for this being Florida, and me not sptraying nm them with anything. In a a week or 4 it will be too hot and the various kinds of grasses too agreed I've and I will be defeated until next fall.
Well after the wedding we have a new up and coming 7 year old quarter midget driver in the family. Wins his first B main and 3rd in the A main. Second round he won the B main again now on to the next A main. I am getting interested in turning left! :)
Tito Taco w cheese is up to $2.70. Not complaining. That's what it costs to pay $12.85/hr for part time and medical for full time and use honest fresh ingredients.
People's sense of smell is better than alleged. The hub is battling those awful roots. People have more money Tha ecer in their iras and 401ks--but not nearly enough to retire. Some who could retire are choosing to work longer. The Supreme may look at gerimandering. Maybe Trump will succeed in doing nothing and nothing is what we need.
Summer has started. Tourons are everywhere showing their lack of boating and fishing skills. Some outside my window even now demonstrating their lack of knowledge...
I am seriously concerned about the trend of index investing and automated market contributions. The first doesn't weed out bad investments. The second is but one side of the coin. When boomers start withdrawals the ramp doesn't just slope it falls. Why stay in a market facing two decades of disinvestment?
Good morning all. Guess I will go jumpstart the EN computer and get some posts out. No after I hit a bucket then office.
Home Depot trading near 1, 5 years highs with a P/E of 23 is a good company but not a good stock. I find it hard to believe that you won't be able to buy it cheaper sometime this year. If you had asked last year I would have said yes as then the P/E was 16 and yield 3.5%.
Boomers unloading expensive houses, selling collectables, anything to get a buck to live on. I see a lot of full time RV'ers not being able to convert back to home living. Timing will be as always everything.
This boomer doesn't need to sell anything, but there is still she needs to get rid off, but after the 25th decision to keep or toss, I get mentally tired.
Upon my demise, the son wants the dining room set. The daughter wants a highly carved Victorian occasional table which we inherited, that I'd never pick out. Glad somebody wants it. So hot, even in the shade on the front porch, but I don't feel like being inside. And no rain.

A comment disappeared. Basically my son and daughter do want some of our stuff. Surprisingly the son wants the dining room furniture. Very high quality Hurricane Andrew purchases. Couldn't afford before then.

I have to work tomorrow, but plan to be either afloat or asleep Sunday and Monday. Will check in on the posts, of course.

Up 160$. If I wanted a boat ride I'd rent the boat and hire a captain.
Ford. I think I told you so.
The service academies are a $150,000 education... Crammed up your ass a nickel at a time.

For the whole 4 years, I assume?
I created a new account so hopefully this works. Dan Z, UMDan
UMDan! Good show old sport.
I will go back and make sure no traces remain.

Entropy increases.

Hound him
With autocorrupt on your computer, who needs comedy writers?
Every single liberal comedian
So they are lying when they claim this stuff writes itself?

That's right you are trapped on the wrong side of Mugu Rock. Sorry to hear that. If only the 2nd Amendment were valid in all 50 States.

Too much blood being spilled in Compton for the broadcast news to cover the issue out here on the West Side, at least so far.
And... they're on to RUSSIA!!!
sigh.
The ABC7 web article called it a small perimeter.
Comedy gold.

SM is a small town. 6.5 square miles with a $500M+ annual budget.
Good morning.😀 Gee, I'm glad I've in Florida.
Wake up East Caost!! Rise and shine.
Coast. Spell check never corrects anything obviously wrong.
As opposed to the Left Chaos?
UMDan, you are safe here!
You needn't worry about any of the regulars disclosing that you are actually a transgendered armadillo with a fondness for cuban cigars. Trust me, I'm a Realtor.
Hahaha
And he's not even squashed.
Good Morning!
Rain storm over night fizzled and looks pretty clear for the day.
Spell check, Thought check on the way!
And I think Cuban cigars are still illegal.
Come on folks, I'm bored.
If someone would make sense of my thoughts, I might be grateful. Or, not.
Lot of outdoor projects to finish. Getting RV ready for short trip. Fix water toy for when the water warms up and some yard clean up.
About to hit the road for points south. Hope to slip through the Great Sewer before the traffic hits.
Before going.
Tom. This bodes well for your property values.

Not wish the French ill weather but...

"Four wounded in city shootings"
A socialist Paradise
Got up early and took mamasan to Trap Falls... We've lived within 10 miles of it for over 20 years but she'd never seen it. Of course, I only saw it for the first time about 7 weeks ago...
Ha! Today is our one beautiful day for the next week...
Holding a play on some better California vintages this year?
Would CARB allow smudge pots again like the old days?
UMDan, be thankful you don't live in one of the 13 "Constitutional Carry" Sates like Vermont.
You wouldn't believe the level of violence that exists in States that allow concealed carry with no requirement for a license or training.
Cinco, it doesn't look good for Sonoma County Grapes this year ( OK, not good).
Too much rain interfered with pollination.
And it is a nice day, I walked down to the River at Dawn and came home with a fat 10" trout for breakfast.
It's Too hot and dry here. Even sitting in the shade.
Greetings from La Jolla. Pleasant cool ocean breeze.
Running around dodging rain drops but no real rain.
Dead thread?
Hmmm... Su no risk rot...😥
That's Florida...5 months out of the year... Then 3 months of monsoons and humidity... Leaves 4 pleasant months
It's too nice everywhere else to stay inside...😋

Violence in VT? Like when they run low on maple syrup or LL Bean has a BOGO?
I'm pretty sure I would rather take my chances in the south side of Burlington than Chicago.
Great day! Had dinner at the local Italian restaurant. Excellent find in this small town. :)
G'night y'all
Beautiful, but too damned hot.
Actual rather cool this morning
Should water the back before it geTs burning hot
Feeling lazy.
Good Morning!
No rain for today, BBQ sausages and relax.
All watered Roses doing great--for me, for this being Florida, and me not sptraying nm them with anything. In a a week or 4 it will be too hot and the various kinds of grasses too agreed I've and I will be defeated until next fall.
Grasses too agressive.
So much for that word relax already shoveled some dirt, guess I will work any way. :)
Good morning. Well it appears the auto post computer is on vacation. I will be back to the dawghaus later today and turn it back on.
Relax RD it's a holiday weekend. :)
Well after the wedding we have a new up and coming 7 year old quarter midget driver in the family. Wins his first B main and 3rd in the A main. Second round he won the B main again now on to the next A main. I am getting interested in turning left! :)
The turtle came out and ate some weeds.
La Jolla is nice but home is home. Besides in between us Tito's Tacos! Nom.
Tito's and you didn't get some for all of us? :(
Tito Taco w cheese is up to $2.70. Not complaining. That's what it costs to pay $12.85/hr for part time and medical for full time and use honest fresh ingredients.
Open a Rose to celebrate the unofficial beginning of Summer. Also opened a Pine Ridge Onyx to go with the steaks.
Happy Summer, everyone!
Trying inexpensive Amsterdam Gin and tonic. Mild botanicals. No harshness.
Going to get a lab quality filter and ultra purify cheap vodka and try my hand at bathtub gin I think.
Got a hops rhizome at the Ballast Point brewery.
Good Morning!
Out for breakfast, then who knows?

Liz's news and edditorial report of the day.
Than ever in. .

A nice day off to everyone...

you hit buckets?
You think Home Depot is a good buy? Just your opinion.
Home Depot trading near 1, 5 years highs with a P/E of 23 is a good company but not a good stock. I find it hard to believe that you won't be able to buy it cheaper sometime this year. If you had asked last year I would have said yes as then the P/E was 16 and yield 3.5%.
Thx. I'll watch it.

Silverware if silver but no one wants the China or stemware anymore.
This boomer doesn't need to sell anything, but there is still she needs to get rid off, but after the 25th decision to keep or toss, I get mentally tired.
I keep telling myself I don't need another car hanging around but there is a Chevy HHR/SS That winks at me every time I drive by. Must resist. ;)

And reappeared? ? ? ?
Kids haven't picked any thing out yet. Is that a sign of confidence?
We asked them to. They were most amiable in sharing.
My Rhoomba has lost itself! Have checked all the spots it gets stuck.
Up another 100. Yay. If it goes up enough will it clean itself or at least find the roomba?
Ya... Doing nothing other that locking in a non-liberal SCOTUS would be great
New post.
Liz it's in the dining room under the far chair.
I'll look again. Haha
