        2. Good Morning Stella,
          What has always interested me is how the human species (small man) can solve just about any problem presented to it by grand nature, it’s the problems we create that seem to give us the hardest time.

        1. I’m so happy for the rain – having a hard downpour here this morning (30 miles south of Portland in the Willamette Valley). Such a satisfying sound, as far as I’m concerned.

          Of course, now the folks who are coming out of that 48,000 acre fire set by smart aleck kids playing with fireworks will be thinking about mud slides and flash floods for the next several months.

          I also love that picture of the China desert above. I’ve always been fascinated by the pictorials or travelogues presenting the Mongolian desert/culture as well. Now there is some wide open, desolate country where a person had better know how to survive on their own. There is a splendid beauty in that.

          Oh! The sun just broke through the clouds for a minute! Bright on the dripping leaves….

  3. Tea quote from a classic Hollywood star:

    The British have an umbilical cord which has never been cut and through which tea flows constantly. It is curious to watch them in times of sudden horror, tragedy or disaster. The pulse stops apparently and nothing can be done, and no move made, until “a nice cup of tea” is quickly made. There is no question that it brings solace and does steady the mind. What a pity all countries are not so tea-conscious. World-peace conferences would run more smoothly if “a nice cup of tea”, or indeed, a samovar were available at the proper time.

  5. Good morning everyone. Beautiful day yesterday, another to follow today.

    Follow up from yesterday’s’s discussion on this young man’s death. Some good information here. I believe that his efforts to convert Muslims will bear some fruit for those who follow his advice. In my mind I can’t help but contrast his tone, his heart, his advice, with that of Ann Barnhardt. Who is more likely to reach a questing soul?

      1. One of my employees would sometimes stop by at lunchtime and ask if I wanted to order Chinese food with the gang. I would order tofu-something-or-other. When he dropped the order by my office, he would always announce that he hoped I enjoyed my Toad Food.

        I ‘inherited’ this guy (who was very funny and very smart) and one day after about three months, I asked him what the initials after his name meant; he always signed his memos “John Smith, HSG” He had been with the company for at least seven years and no one had asked him the question before. The answer? HSG = High School Graduate.

        1. By the Moslems msking this a religious issue. We have a few head-to-toe wearers in NOLA and NOLA has very strong mask laws that are only, in writing at least, relaxed during Mardi Gras. The mask la is partnered with law prohibiting sex offenders from giving gifts or candy. I see a connection…. LA Rev Stat 14:313

      2. There’s a small mosque in my town 😦 . Last year a taco place opened up right by it specializing in breakfast tacos with bacon and they also serve carnitas tacos. I was surprised the restaurant decided to open there, because it could make people uneasy, but the restaurant is still there and holding its own. Breakfast tacos sound good… might have to go check it out.

          1. I’ve been trying to find more information out about Manfafort and Podesta.

            There are earlier articles that make vague connections and say basically about the same thing that CNN reported. Tenuous connection is what I’m finding.

            So from the CNN article;

            The European Centre for a Modern Ukraine was formed in 2012 by three senior members of the Party of Regions, a pro-Russia party led by President Viktor Yanukovych and advised by Manafort.

            A firm was being advised by both Manafort and the Podesta group but I don’t see where there is a merging of Manafort and the Podesta group.

            It seems that CNN is asking us to believe that the Podesta Group was working in opposition to the Obama administration.

            According to CNN The European Centre for a Modern Ukraine was a client of Tony Podesta’s lobby group.

            Yet that assertion is brought into question in the same article.

            The center played both sides of the aisle in US politics, also hiring Manafort’s consulting firm and a Republican-leaning lobbying firm, Mercury Public Affairs.

            Marin, the Podesta spokesman, said his firm’s work for the center was supervised by Manafort’s consulting associate Rick Gates.

            The center paid Mercury $720,000 and the Podesta Group $1 million from 2012 to 2014.

            Hmmm….. it sounds like a story that CNN is hoping is true, they simply state that Marin (Podesta’s spokesman) said Podesta’s firm was supervised by Manafort’s consulting associate Rick Gates. Maybe I am just dull or tired but I’m not following the dots.

            Not to mention CNN lies 😎.

            2. I haven’t had time to look into it. I don’t like to think Manafort had some concerning business deals, but I’m glad you looked at it closer. Maybe all this will backfire on CNN and the DNC and they were sthe Podesta Group. It’s kind of mind boggling. I’ve pulled back a bit from politics because I’m tired of the attacks on our president. I’m ready for all the crazy investigations to come to an end and for President Trump to be allowed to do his job without having to fight everyone. Trump knew Trump Tower was wiretapped. I believe Manafort was let go about the same time. I hope we get clear answers about all of this. Sorry if this is rambling , but I’m writing this at 4:30 am because I randomly woke up. 😉

I was thinking the weight of the Mexicans leaving the area caused a lessening of the weight/pressure on the plate being underridden allowing that plate to slip. Only way to test it that I can see is returning our excess Mexican population to the area and see if it stabilizes the plate over time…a looooong time.
