      In honor of the Pennsylvania primary, and the Colonel.

      I was pleasantly surprised by Pittsburgh. It’s been a while, but I truly enjoyed my visit there.

        Morning and Thank you Stella. This perspective is looking into “town” between the Clementa bridge on the right and the 7 th street bridge on the left. Did you ride the incline up to the top of Mt. Washington?

        Thank you Stella. The painting is taken from the perspective of standing on the river walk, between the Clementa bridge (right), and 7th Street Bridge on your left.

    I think it’s safe to go to bed now, it looks like all the high winds and possible tornadoes have passed us by and just rain, thunder and lightning left behind.

      Yeah, good luck there, been watching this build and it looks like it could be a bad one. We’re scheduled to get a touch of the southern tip but nowhere near as bad as the plains.

        We just got wind, but I don’t think we got any damage. We’ve been cutting down questionable trees and trimming branches though. A few of our tomato plants got twisted, but that’s about it.

          Good, been up securing outside and getting ready to see what plant sets need seeing to before wind hits. TV weatherguessers have been up using their wide-eyed, semi-frantic, scare you without making it too obvious reporting techniques, how to get the city folks to imagine they actually have some part in their lives. Out here we’re just making sure the ditches are clear and the deck chairs are secured.

            We just staked and caged all the tomato plants this weekend, but a few still got a little damage.

            Watching the news this morning, it looks like to me they got some small tornadoes in other areas. They’re saying they don’t know if it was tornadoes or wind, but I’ve been around the block several times and can tell them the twisted stuff they’re showing along with over 50 ft trees uprooted is tornado damage not straight line winds.

              Yeah, we had an F-1 come through last month, tore up small trees and brush, split fences, laid down a perfect swath. Took the weatherguessers a few weeks to scientifically prove what eveyone heard and saw, then agin if’n ya wears bibs instead of mall bought khakis your learnin’ ain’t as good as theirs.

                It was cracking me up to hear them say, “The National Weather Service will determine if it was a small tornado or straight line winds.”

                I did hear them say tonight though it was either F-0 or F-1.
                I could have saved everyone a lot of money if they’d just called and asked me. lol

                  Yeah, thry tell us F-1 or F-2′ we tell them it’s more like F-U. I particularly like the one on here on Christmas Day about three years ago that destroyed a couple of houses and severely damaged a dozen or so more. Huge oak trees well over a hundred years old uprooted, pines 50 feet or mare tall snapped by the dozens, a curving swath miles long that looked like it was mowed and they were sending a team out from some urban area to tell the hillbillies if it were a tornado or ‘straight line winds’. There was one house up,on the main drag, that had been picked up and dropped on another house, yeah, straight line winds.

                    I still laugh at about 10 years or so ago there was a small tornado on the ground near us, it was moving the opposite direction across a field so we were recording it and called one of the local channels and told them about it.
                    They told us we weren’t seeing a tornado because the radar didn’t show any severe weather in our area.

                    Somebody else who recorded it as well sent it in. So several hours later on the 10 o’clock news they reported on the tornado and showed the video, but then claimed they were the first to warn about it, the same news channel we called who told us it wasn’t on radar so it wasn’t there. lol

                    Thankfully it just ripped up some grass, trees and fences.

                    Ran outta reply space so had to jump back. We had one going thru like that, we all knew it was here as it was tearing thru brush and trees like a huge weedeater. Local stations were saying they couldn’t see it on their Super Doppler Ten Thousands until…..they started picking up the cloud-top debris field inside the funnel.

    Trimp’s sweep and caustic speeches have made him extremely popular in Mexico. Not with the people in the street, mind you, but with the Mexican government. Seems that Pena, who was taken to be a reformer, savior of a corrupt and corroded government, hope for the Mexocan people, is no better than Fox was and is down to using el Gringo malo as his straw dog.
    The government’s using Trump’s unfortunate utterances as proof the US is a racist and Latino country, what Hitler was to the Jews. All of Mexico’s problems have been dumped into the Things Too Hard to Do box as the Mex government pours Trump vitriol into the press, distracting thise Mexicans who haven’t already availed themselves of the Mexican government’s active help in unassing Mexico. ‘Look, look, something bright and shiny on a string….TRUMP!’
    I can onlynpresume that the Mex gov is just short of building a cathedral to Hillary as Santa Muerte supporters have; all considere, as the Santa and Hillary share core commonlities maybe they could just do an add-on.
    She and Bill could go back to the old days and arrange for Mexican businesses to set up a freeport zone at Mena, the runways have been lengthened so larger and more conventional aircraft can land and offload. I’m sure Bill’s private foundation can fund the Mexican and US sides, his philanthropy knows no bounds. Come on Hillary, bring back those jobs lost when y’all moved from Arkansas to DC.

      It’s funny to read the comments people make in the regular media stories about this subject. “There should be native Americans on it” is a common reply on the topic.
      They have no idea this was already done in the late 1800’s. Perhaps it wasn’t popular at the time since people were still alive that survived Indian attacks that wiped out entire towns and communities.
      I’m surprised the prophet Muhammad wasn’t selected with the way the people in charge think.

        Perhaps if more Pre-Columbian Americans were out in the streets mass-killing each other, rioting, burning, looting, pushing drugs as a cultural norm then they might get featured on hard currency. Ones I remember from the Four Corners area were too busy trying to survive and get their kids educated to be out burning down what they had.
        Commercial over.

            I never liked Native Americans as it implied they sprang from the earth here rather than just moved in as we did, albeit earlier. Pre-Columbian means thst they weren’t known to the historical apologists until after Chris block-busted the continent.

                Knew some older Navajo prople who disliked the generic one-term-fits-all words. Thry didn’t like being lumped together with Apaches, Utes, they preferred their tribal name. I preferred just calling them by name.

                    My most favoritest examples of ‘labeling dissonance’ is a guy at my ladt Federal job who surfed the system. He had a Spanish last name, his ancestors came from Spain to the Spanish possessions in the Southeast US long before they were US states. He was as white as a sheet, no members of his family ever lived south of New Orleans.
                    He applied for an opening in a special EEO program but when the guardians of the program told him he wasn’t eligible as he was European-Hispanic and not South of Brownsville Hispanic he threatened to go to court as applicant were qualified primarily by Hispanic name and not their PC pedigree. He said that if he were pure Spanish-Spanish with a Nuevo Laredo birth certificate he’d qualify so why not with a NOLA bc?
                    I heard he retired recently.

                  It doesn’t bother me, you can call me Indian, Injun, Red woman, squaw, Cherokee or for my white self you can call me white woman, hillbilly, redneck, backwoods. I just don’t get all caught up in all that, heck you can even call me Native American if you want, as long as you don’t do it to be PC. The way I look at it, I was born in America so that makes me Native American. lol

                  When folks with no drop of Indian blood pulls that with me, I ask them where their CDIB card is? When they can’t produce it I tell them that my Indian blood trumps their PC. It ticks them off and has them sputtering how racist I am or how I hate my Indian blood. I laugh.

                  When Indians pull it with me I ask them why their tribal offices and clinics always say Indians and not Native Americans. They tell me I let my white blood rule me or I’m ashamed of my Indian blood. I tell them my white Cowboy ancestors kicked my Indian ancestors’ butts, so I chose the winning side. That really ticks them off.

                  I really don’t like folks pulling any kind of cards on me, so I really don’t care if I tick those kind of people off and honestly enjoy doing so. 🙂

                    In the “History of Seattle Washington” published in 1891, the author interviewed Indians that had participated in the white settlement attacks during the 1850’s asking what was the reason for the attacks and killings. The answers were jaw dropping.
                    They really didn’t care about the settlers and liked white people just fine. Some big tribe back East was trying to get all the other tribes to join in the savage attacks on the white people forcing them to leave and never want to come back.
                    The motivation to actually attack the settlers was that they would get to keep the stuff from the people they killed.

                    My opinion when it comes to discussing Indians is more often than not you have two camps, the camp who says all Indians good, all white men bad, whites stole their land, massacred most of them and the rest they put on reservations. The other camp is all Indians were savages and whites did nothing wrong.

                    I’m in the tent in the middle, with no camp. Indians did a lot of horrible stuff, whites did some horrible things, however the land was never stolen, the Indians lost the war and now our government keeps giving them more and more of the land back that they lost. So Indians today have nothing to be whining about, in my state alone they’re making millions upon millions of dollars from the casinos, free healthcare, free food, free housing, free hunting/fishing license at least in our state.
                    That doesn’t make me popular with many people and they think that is betraying my ancestors. I call bs on it and believe we shouldn’t deny history and believe now we should all be Americans and all equal and all of us should have to pay our own way.

            Let’s not forget that we weren’t the first to not be nice to the various American Indians. They weren’t exactly living in Sergeant Pepperland with each other but the historical apologists tend to minimize, if not overlook, that.

      Ahhh…George’s homage to Krishna consciousness. My Anthropology prof back in the late 60s actuaaly found and brought onto campus/into class a group of Krishna devotees. Might not be much in some places but in heavily LDS Utah back then it raised some caffeine-free eyebrows.

    I was curious what Levin has to say after last night, so I visited his FB page. I still say out of all them Levin is still the one who has disappointed me the most, but he’s became as nutty as Beck.

    He has a link to an article that says Trump is nowhere near the Presumptive Nominee and he wrote Perspective on it.

    He has a link to a Politico article titled, ‘The Parallel Universe where Cruz is beating Trump’ and he wrote, “If Trump doesn’t secure the GOP nomination on the first ballot, it appears he’s in deep trouble.”

    He linked to a National Review article titled, ‘Governor Pence, It’s Time to Take a Stand’ and he wrote, “AWOL.”

    He wrote that Carl Cameron is in the tank.

    He posts a conservative review article that says everything hinges on Indiana and California and writes, “And so it goes, or might go”

    He then says that Drudge tells voters in 10 states that the election is over, so stay home.

    Another one of his conservative review articles written by him that says The Real Race Begins after Tonight.

    Trump won Reagan Republicans

    http://donsurber.blogspot.com/2016/04/trump-won-reagan-republicans.html?spref=tw

    In 1980, Reagan carried four of the six states in the most recent primaries. True, he carried 44 of the 50 states that year, but it was the areas Democrats assumed they controlled — the mid-Atlantic and New England states in particular — by converting blue collar workers to his cause. He did so by promising jobs, and he delivered. He did so by slapping tariffs on the Japanese, who were our biggest competition at the time. Free traders hated it.

    Reagan Democrats stuck around and many became Reagan Republicans.

    In 1988, Bush 41 took each of the five states Trump won on Tuesday, but then as president, Bush 41 abandoned the working class. Shipyards in Maine closed thanks to a new “luxury tax” that he supported. Republicans have since conceded that territory. In fact, Cruz supporters scorned Trump for winning Democratic states. You see, he’s a liberal, is their argument.

    Really? Reagan had no problem carrying all six of them in 1984. Those five states in Tuesday’s primary represent 44 Electoral College votes in November. Add New York and you have 73. If Romney carried them, he would be president….

            These people are just a little nuts. Why would you do that? If I was a kid and had that woman singing to me about playing on the bus with me all day, it’d freak me out.
            If I was the kid’s parent I’d be telling her not to get anywhere near my kid.

            According to some Cruz supporters I’ve been reading though it seems they thought it was sweet or cute and shows how much she loves children.
            But then they also think she’s going to help Cruz win California because she’s so loved there.

              Someone many, many years ago told me that you could always tell if a politician had been in your backyard as your dog was pregnant andbuour trashcan was empty. Thstvwas enough for me tontell my kids about dirty old men in trenchcoats andbpoliticians, stressing the need to stay away from both. Dennis Hastert case in point.

      I know this is some kind of hail mary pass and it’s been beyond obvious for awhile now that the establishment is pulling the strings in Cruz camp now, but for the life of me I can’t wrap my brain around why they think this will help in stopping Trump.

      I hope Cruz has been promised a nice lobbying job because my gut tells me his days in politics are over.

    Whew, rain’s over blue sky’s back. Rain wasn’t bad, about 1/2 inch over an hour but lightening was awesome (mskes me feel young to use that word). New Orleans proper got about 2 inches and it overwhelmed the pumps in sone areas putting a few inches of water in areas wher sone of the common criwd live but the news reserved the tones used in major disasters for the horror of water in the streets in the High Rent district where the bent-nose crowd lives.
    On the bright side, all that absorbable nitrogen hitting the trees and grass have left us with a bright green landscape as far as you can see.

      I don’t know what time it started last night but the lightning show was bright – at least the rain stopped by the time the tree guy showed up to inform us we had to part with $$$$$ to make the earth continue orbiting. If I’se 20 or so again, I could save me some money.
      Well, with a chainsaw….

            We had a huge old oak tree and it needed to come down before it came down. It had huge branches big enough to kill you falling down, half the trunk was rotting.
            It was big enough for the top to go through our windows and was near our propane tank and a few buildings.
            It needed to come down in pieces due to it’s size. We finally got it down, but some of these guys were insane, wanting $400 and $500 to take it down.

    auscitizenmom – ran out of reply space. No, translates to ‘horse apples’. Would suggest you not frequent French millinery stores that don’t have an English brochure on site. A chapeau would go on the horse’s head where the pommes de cheval are more associated with the nether end of the horse were it to eat a chapeau. Then again, considering some of those French fashion statements…

    Still thinking about Prince. And amazing influences. And musical genius.

    http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/prince/sometimesitsnowsinapril.html

    Here’s Bobby doing Prince, and influencing others. I’ve been studying under this guy for nigh on 25 years and I hope he lives another 20. And that he keeps away from opiates. I’m pretty sure he will.

    He’s got 2,000 tracks, unreleased, in a vault. Word is that his best work is in there. Because, arrogant (rightfully) as he was, he didn’t want Warner Bros. to have his best work. His sister is his only legal heir, and he had no will. Hopefully we get to hear his better work — and when I say that it sounds odd. Better? Come on. RLY?
