The yearly hurricane panic-mongering season traditionally starts in early April when Dr Gray and his crew release the season’s forecast. The weatherguessers immediately start ramping up the fear factor, usually discussing the upcoming season as pictures of hurricane death and disaster play in the bavckground.
This year they’ve got a treat – there’s a low in the Caribbean meandering north. It’s a low, not a hurricane, but even as we’re told it’s NOT a hurricane they’rev reminding us that it COULD develop into a monster cyclone that could destroy all life on the Gulf Coast as far inland as their Nielsen rates extend. Pictures of hurricane death and destruction play in the background.
Now we have to go thru the weekend with these folks telling us the worst case rainfall figures – ominous blobs ugly colors play over the areas where viewers are expected to start filing two-by-two – are going to ‘possibly’ inundate us. Point here is that in the event we do get that rain we’ll be told “See, I told ya”, while if we don’t everyone will be grateful and forget the predictions.
It’s that time of the year where you watch the weather while you have a drink, it’s the best way to not let these folks get to you. It’s as if they compete for viewer share by seeing just how close to calling the end of the world as they can without doing so. December can’t come soon enough.

My favorite memory was the woman who asked the cashier, “Is that lamp supposed to do that?” & without looking up he said “yes”. However, what the woman had referred to was a lamp which had gotten too hot & was on fire…. We left the area & watched from afar.

Today’s state flower is Montana – Bitterroot
A perennial, the bitterroot has an exquisite pink blossom which grows close to the ground & its delicate shadings offer the eye one of the loveliest of wildflowers. In 1894 Montana’s Floral Emblem Association chose the Bitteroot as Montana’s state flower, & in 1895 the Legislature sanctioned the choice. Before long the delicate petals of the bitterroot graced stationery, posters, silverware, and even special sets of double damask Irish linen. The name is derived from the leader of the Lewis and Clark expedition, (Lewisia rediviva). In 1805, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark “discovered” the plant in the western Montana valley that now bears its name.
Bitterroot has a strong Indian heritage. Montana’s Indians used bitterroot as an important part of their diet. Tribes timed their spring migrations with the blooming of the bitterroot on the gravel river bars & hillsides. Dug, cleaned, & dried, the root provided a lightweight, nutritious supplement to a wild-game diet. At major trading centers, the root was an item of barter & exchange. A sackful commanded a substantial price SUCH AS A HORSE. One ounce of dried root provided sufficient nourishment for a meal, but the plant was seldom eaten raw, for its bitter taste & resultant swelling caused great discomfort. Indian women boiled the root then mixed it with meat or berries. Pulverized & seasoned with deer fat & moss, the cooked root could be molded into patties & carried on hunting expeditions or war parties. Sources: http://montanakids.com/
I had never seen this beautiful but tough little plant before. Many photos showed it growing out of what looked like just rock! Apparently it was also the 1st take out burger according to the above description. Since the root is so important I merged 2 botanical prints to show all aspects of the plant.
Enjoy, and have a great day! Time for me to get some work done.

If you are casually following our CA guv race this is a pro Cox blog, who POTUS endorsed. He runs a lot of non mainstream info on Travis Allen, whom a lot of people still want to vote for. The blogger is a GOP insider, so it worth reading.
“The amount of mental gymnastics that is required to stay on the Travis Allen train is astounding.
Travis Allen has had 11 Traffic Convictions in 8 years. According to things I have seen but don’t have copies of the total may be as high as 19 tickets when you add the 5-7 more he has gotten in the last 6 years. Even 11 traffic tickets is 3 lifetimes for most people.
His corporation was suspended because he did not pay his bill, no big deal they say.
He had two tax liens because he did not pay his bills (One for a two year old income tax bill and the other on his boat).
He has two verified sexual harassment claims (and is rumored to have several more)
He donated to Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, Barbara Boxer and others…”

Dave Holmes is an idiot of the highest order. “A traumatized yet sensible child.” Riiiight. I’m trying to remember the last place I heard that a child’s brain isn’t fully developed until they are 20+ and so we can’t hold them responsible for anything they do prior to that age. (Was is college? Or the MSM?) Unless the aforementioned children start crying about gun violence, then they’re the voice of reason.

Funny, but sad. That poor kid. Best comment “obviously someone at publix did not graduate summa cum laude.”
“A Publix grocery store in South Carolina censored the word “cum” in “summa cum laude” on a student’s graduation cake.
A Publix grocery store in the Charleston, South Carolina, area has come under fire this week for their decision to censor a graduation cake for 18-year-old Jacob Koscinski. The student, who had recently completed a home-school program with a 4.89 grade-point average, was disappointed to see that his cake was censored by the grocery store.
His mother, Cara, asked the store to write: “Congrats Jacob! Summa Cum Laude class of 2018.” Instead, the cake they received read: “Congrats Jacob! Summa — Laude class of 2018.” “Summa cum laude,” of course, means “with the highest distinction” in Latin, a term commonly used to honor top graduates.”
