That’s better than the time I boiled the water in my whistling tea kettle, poured it on the tea bag in the cup, and came back to find a boiled lizard in the cup with the bag.

My beagle/pit bull terror and lab/pit bull terror mixes leave ricochet marks on the walls up to about six feet. The new pup’s the lab/pit mix (it must have been a helluva office party) and when he gets to go out with the 2-year old beagle/pit they use all two acres of yard like a race track. After about twenty minutes of barely subsonic activity they come inside, take a small nap and it’s over the couch, under the chairs, p.o. the cat and fibd sonething to jointly shred. A far cry from my GSDs who just took over small kennels and subjugated the residents.

Oh, I envy your bliss – five wonderful, beautiful, steaming, rich, smooth, hot cups of coffee and all before 9am! I participated in an experiment to see how many points reducing coffee affect the hypertension (high blood pressure). Reduction of one cup – no change. Ahh, was looking like I was right that coffee was just fine. Reduction of an additional cup a day, no change. When got to the reduction of three cups a day, BP, went up! Oh, such relief; looking like I was going to be back to the passionate love affair real soon. Reduction of four cups, BP up (yeah) average 14pts (top number) higher than when drinking 6-7 cups a day. No change for reduction of cups five and six.
And then, We got to NO COFFEE (By now I had plans for the end of the study to go to Dunkin, then Gloria Jean’s, then even Starbucks, then every bar in town and have “mature coffee”). the first three days of absolutely NO coffee BP was back to starting point before the experiment. I was required to go a full nine days coffee-free. Day 9 was a very sad day indeed. My BP was 30 points LOWER. Ugh! Consistently lower for each day thereafter.
No more coffee. My children are disappointed that their drug dealer has quit supplying them. Some are considering removing me as their mother in their facebook stats. Friends don’t want to come for coffee and drink alone; makes them feel like addicts. Plus, they have a hard time drinking it with me sniffing the aroma from their cup.

Senator Chris McDaniel
September 15 at 9:41pm ·
The corruption is mind boggling.
There is absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION for a Chinese company to be involved in U.S. military-related projects.
But Thad Cochran (or Haley Barbour) has been lobbying for China to be involved.
From the article:
“After the Ingalls executives left China, the defense liaison officer in Shanghai, Steve Angel, alerted the Pentagon, the Navy and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing about the trip.
“Ingalls Shipbuilding was here looking at Chinese shipbuilding companies to build a dry dock for USN ship construction,” Angel wrote. “Lobbied for by a U.S. Senator (Cochran). Not sure what Big Navy’s or OSD’s awareness are, but wanted to flag this for awareness.”
Leaders at the Pentagon were not happy.
But hey, who cares about national security when the establishment is getting paid the big bucks?
Now, follow the money.
According to its public filings, Huntington Ingalls spent $4.8 million on lobbying in 2015. One of Huntington Ingalls’s in-house lobbyists, Carolyn Apostolou, spent 26 years as a professional staffer on the Senate Appropriations Committee before joining Huntington Ingalls in 2013, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ Open Secrets project. Gallegos said Ingalls employees have also supported Cochran financially.
Anyone care to guess how much Haley Barbour’s lobbying firm is making to secure the deal?
And that’s precisely why 2014 was so important to them.
All of my Washington Post views for this month are exhausted, but here’s the link to the original article:

We recently delved into the world of bathroom faucets and shower heads, since we are going to have to replace these in our master bathroom. We discovered that most companies now get their products from China, or some-to-all parts are manufactured in China and assembled in the U.S. Even Moen, which was/is at the top of the list of the “good” companies. The best company for assuring your faucets are made in the U.S. is Delta. They are not 100% U.S. manufactured, but most of their products are, at least as of 3-4 years ago.

Yeah, a goodly number of our critical military equipment parts are made there too, have been for many years now. A few years back the DoD discovered that a US Fed parts contractor bought a huge load of high-strength bolts from China and never did QC checks.

Also DoD bought a lot of critical solid state circuit chips that were announced as going into US missiles from a Chinese firm…geez, what could go wrong?

I think this article paints a wonderful, disturbing, picture of the difference between d’s and r’s. The d’s, no matter how bad their candidate might be, or how much they might personally dislike each other, still bring out all of their guns to support “their” candidate. Our side, OTOH, often acts as a petulant child, pouting, or acting like you just stole their ice cream cone, and huddles in the corner and won’t come out to play. I know that at the end of his tenure, Dubya was not well liked by his own team, but nonetheless has chosen to pretty much sit on his hands for eight years. He never went out and campaigned for Mittens, nor has he really said anything about the current occupant of 1600 Penn. Ave., or their desired successor.
We also have the #NeverTrump crowd who are doing the same exact thing. Apparently they know that they have now been placed in the trash bin, and walk around p*ssing and moaning. I only hope that if we win, that Trump actually does kick them to the curb for good. If he picks a staff of retreads going back to GHWB’s cabinet, don’t expect too much to happen than what we’ve seen before.

The reviews on Hillarys book are piling up on Amazon. They are the best and most Hillaryous of the century. Do not miss this before they pull it down.
First off, I would like to thank Hillary for printing this all in blue ink because the color blue helps prevent my seizures. It was a little bit of a long read, being 32,000 pages of yoga routines, but I powered through it. Its amazing to think that she wrote the entire book on a Blackberry! I didn’t know it was a pop-up book until I got to the chapter about her husband, Bill and his oval office experiences. The only issues I had with the book were all of the annoying “C” markings in the margins.

If we go vack to Hellary’s first print attempt to grab the stage, ‘It Takes a Village’, there’s been a Hellary ‘authored’ or salutary book on the market every few years to keep her in the public’s eye.
I don’t think there are many people out there who believe she wrote her books herself, presidential hopefuls regularly employ some professional BS slinger to get their stories out there as part of the selling process. What surprises me is that with all of their money Billery couldn’t come up with a better ghostwriter – a double edged term where they’re concerned.

I was absorbed reading “Stronger Together” but by page 30, I had a episode of confusion. All I can recall is being dragged toward my car. The only thing I wonder, now that I’m fully conscious in the safety of my home, is “why is the presidential running mate waving a Nazi salute on the book cover? Could it be coincidence or a hidden message?”
I really wanted to read this book but the pages were wiped clean with a cloth before it was shipped to me. Luckily i donated $500,000 to the Clinton foundation which gave me special privileges and allowed me to control Hillary like a puppet. Now i get to be part of her cabinet.
I found this book in a bathroom stall, half the pages were missing, then I realized there was no toilet paper in the stall.

Race tightens in projected U.S. Electoral College vote: Reuters/Ipsos
https://www.yahoo.com/news/race-tightens-projected-u-electoral-college-vote-reuters-114535676.html
An election analysis conducted in the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project shows that the race has tightened considerably over the past few weeks, with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump projected to win Florida, an essential battleground state, if the election were held today.
The project, which is based on a weekly tracking poll of more than 15,000 Americans, shows that the 2016 presidential race could end in a photo finish on Nov. 8, with the major-party candidates running nearly even in the Electoral College, the body that ultimately selects the president.
The States of the Nation project, which delivers a weekly tally of support for the candidates in every state, shows that the race has tightened in several traditional battlegrounds. Pennsylvania has been moved from a likely win for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to a tossup; Ohio has been moved from a tossup to a likely win for Clinton.
And Florida is now considered a likely win for the Republican nominee, with 50 percent support for Trump to 46 percent support for Clinton. If the election were held today, the project estimates that Clinton has a 60 percent chance of winning by 18 electoral votes. Last week, the project estimated that Clinton had a 83 percent chance of winning the election.

On the less contentious side, we’re now into the fall hummingbird migration. Early morning and early evening we can have over twenty at a time on the patio, you can sit out there with a drink and it’s not unusual to have one or more get right into your face. It looks like the same ones over and over but we’re told they’re different ones fueling ip to bilk up beforevthey beginntheir cross-Gulf nonstop migration. Little bugeaters can go thru the better part of a quart a day spaced in four feeders at peak migration.

You should get three subspecies that live up there, migrating back and forth. I’d suggest that you get an inexpensive (they work as well as the expensive ones) feeder -we use: https://www.amazon.com/First-Nature-Hummingbird-Feeder-16-Ounce/dp/B005XOZKC6/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1474140994&sr=1-5&keywords=hummingbird+feeder
I have three large more expensive ones we bought before we discovered the cheaper obes work as well as the expensive ones, the birds do not care about anything but the filling. Put one out in the early spring and see if you get any hits. You generally don’t see them unless you’re around flowers they feed off of. Avoid the ones with the yellow flowers, I’m told by bird folks that hummers do notvsee yellow, they’re looking for red. Wasps, however, love yellow and sugar water.
Don’t fall for the bottled feeder liquid or the packaged powder, it’s overpriced and hasn’t been proved safe. I mix four parts water to one part granulated sugar for summer feeding and three water to one sugar for fall migration feeding. They aren’t ‘eating’ the mix but rather using it as an energy source to hunt the bugs they eat.
In late winter here I keep the feeder inside overnight and put it out soon as the sun’s up as hummers go into a torpor when the temp drops and need energy as soon as their body temp allows them to fly.
Welcome to my migratory bird obsession.

I have seen a few in these parts over the years, but only a very few. We have MANY other migratory species that arrive by the thousands for the summer mosquito-feast. Have you ever been to Alaska in the summer? It is a birder’s dream come true.

Oh yes, as I posted a while back, wuuuuunderful Fairbanks (Ft Richardson) in the winter and the mud spring. I believe the term I used was ‘mosquitoes lage enough to filet’. Then those wuuuuunderful vampire black flies…no wonder the birds don’t stay, all around it’s bad for their health.
