Morning Stella, “the Milky Way”. A shame you can only see the river of milk in a few western states due too the light pollution. It’s inspirational, sitting in your observers chair, hot cup of coffee, looking up at tapestry only the Lord can create.

That was always one of my favorite things as a child, growing up in Chicago the stars were lost, but in the summer at our summer house, we could lie on the beach and see the big and little dipper, falling stars, and just enjoy the night sky.
Beautiful picture Stella 🙂

We get a dark sky here, not as good as the one in the pic but close. We can see the lens of the Milky Way and a sky full of clear, bright stars but we do get sone low-level light pollution from the two towns about 14 miles away. Still infinitely better than in the city where seeing the moon’s difficult, never mind stars.

Carlie Marie Trent rescued by gun toting Americans. Thank you Jesus!
Tennessee girl allegedly abducted by uncle found safe by 2 ‘heroes,’ official says
Gwyn said her safe return came after two men, Donnie Lawson and Roger Carpenter, were checking property as the TBI had asked people to do, when they found Carlie and her uncle on a trail only accessible by four-wheeler vehicles.
Carpenter, a Baptist minister, held Simpson at gunpoint while Lawson called police, according to Gwyn.
“This is a case of two heroes who went on their property to see if, by chance, if they were there, and they were,” he said. “I think this is a clear message to the public that we need your help on these kind of cases.”

Thanks for more information. The Uncle has no criminal history, so let’s hope he is just unbalanced and that our worst fears of him being a sexual predator are unfounded. Still whatever happened she is in need of prayers.

Obama Administration’s sending letters to every school district in the US telling them they MUST allow every student to use whichever bathroom and/or locker room they gender-identify with. It isn’t legally binding but noncompliance could lead to a withdrawal of Federal education funds.
Can’t wait for the letters to impact the religious school system. They aren’t in the Fed cash flow but as the letter settles in you know they’ll make it a ‘rights’ issue as thry have birth control for health insurance in relgious-based employer benefit packages. With those students whose frontal
cortexes and decision making processes are not completely formed it’s gonna be interesting to see how they deal with this.

Yeah, it’s a full-time job trying to keep the GGS on track and now with teo GGDs ready to debut it seems the job’s going to take on a new dimension. I think about the GGS going homeschool but for now I’m letting him see the system trying to bend him close-up and personal while I spend time explaining the tactics and redirecting his anger and confusion. I’m either going to have a proactive conservative or a serial killer but then the progs think they’re one in the same so WTF.

The indoctrination’s been going on for decades, I remember it going on when I was in high school and that was over 50 years ago. At the very least we can plant the seeds and some will flourish as they age and see their lives’ accomplishments denegrated and/or confiscated.

We wux talkin’ WWII about a week back, Czarina just reminded me of something. We had a neighbor just up the street in NOLA in the 90s who was a WWII vet, and not just any vet. He was a POW but not a POW, he was shot down over the North Sea, was picked up by a Swedish shop and onterred in neutral Sweden. He spent the rest of the war as a guest of the Swedes and as Sweden was neutral the DoD did not consider him a POW per se.
As a non-POW POW he wasn’t, as all other US service members who were lucky enough to make it to a neutral country, allowed access to any POW benefits. He suffered some injuries in the shoot-down that caused problems during his term as a Swedish guest and these injuries followed him for decades. He could get VA care but not as POW, his disability income as a POW could have passed to his wife upon his death but…, no special ed training, no nothing.
He took it to various Senators who made half-hearted stabs but just folded rather than fight the VA’s inevitable ‘no’. He died just after Katrina, still an official non-POW POW.
