Tis that time of the (new) year, had to go down and pay the taxes on the land I own so the state won’t own it. I can’t complain, our house here is newer and much larger than our one in NOLA but our property tax here is about half of what it is in NOLA and the land tax is pocket change.
I can’t complain, the resources we pay for are slow and limited but we paid much more for as-bad or worse services in NOLA so it’s a bargain.

The Baghdad attack seems to be gelling as a drone strike, Soleimani made the mistake of not not maintaining his opsec so soon after being involved in the attack that killed the US ‘contractor’. You’d think that a guy with his bona fides would have done better.
I wonder if Obama will send flowers or even go to the funeral? Obama hosted Soleimani in the Oval Office at the White House in 2011…bet he has a writer right now trying to spin that one.

I should really not be smiling about this but it’s hard not to. I got the feeling from this that the bullies known as Iran are now learning that it’s not as much fun to be a bully when your victim decides to hit back.

“She” meaning yourself? Surviving the winter here is all about having good gear to keep warm with. And it does help if you love winter, and snow (which I do).

Not spending a half hour warming up the car and scraping off the ice and snow before going anywhere is fantastic. I loveloveLOVE our new house!

I remember that shortly after Desert Storm Spurr had a lesser eruption as I had a planned deployment there in early summer and it was called off. Some crow-sized mosquitoes and biting flies had to forego the ‘me buffet’.

Iraq is about 60% Shia but Saddam was Sunni and controlled the Shia with a big stick. There’s also the problem of one of the Shiite’s holiest sites (I ain’t gonna touch that one) being in Iraq. A lot of Shia still hold a grudge about the Iraq-Iran war so it’s touchy.
I’m betting what we’re seeing here is Sunni celebrating the deaths of the Shia terror kings who were also plotting the Shiatakeover of Iraq.

From the Daily Beast, April, 2017:
Nuke Deal Helps Qasem Soleimani, The Top Iranian General With ‘American Blood on His Hands’
Among the big winners in the agreement to curtail Iran’s nuclear program, count a notorious and shadowy Iranian general who helped Shiite militias in Iraq kill American soldiers and who has come to the rescue of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
You’ll find his name, Qasem Soleimani, buried in an annex (PDF) of the unremittingly dense Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, along with some of his colleagues from the senior ranks of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as its various divisions and corporate fronts. They’ll all be granted some sanctions relief as part of the U.S.-brokered deal to curtail Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon.
That Soleimani—who runs Iran’s elite paramilitary and covert operations group, the Quds Force—was even on the list appeared to catch some U.S. officials by surprise. A senior administration official briefing reporters on Tuesday morning didn’t have a ready response when asked when and why Soleimani was added. Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly denied that the 58-year-old general was on the list to be freed from the sanctions yoke. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, agreed, saying Soleimani—whom the U.S. accused in 2011 of plotting to launch a terrorist attack in the United States—had been confused with someone else with a similar name…

President Carter’s chicken heart confirmed in the minds of the Iranian terrorists that they could do as they wanted with America. Each subsequent Democrat President stayed within that chicken coop. Obama not only did as the Iranians desired but he paid them for it. What a traitor!
I’m praying that this doesn’t escalate further. But should we go to full war, with President Braveheart Trump in command, I’m sure we will win. None of that pathetic you can’t shoot the enemy if he’s not holding a gun pointed at you crapola past Presidents has saddled our military with.

I was just reading an article on how cosmologists have found a star whose vital measurements suggest that it is older than the universe. Opps.
They’ve attacked the problem by that magical waving of hands used to hide the pea under the shell: “the vital measurements are subject to interpretation due to (waving of hands) and if we push the error margins with a BFH we can almost fit the star’sage into our ‘age of the universe’ guesstimate. OOfff, let’s just whack the parameters a bit more!
BUT WAIT!!! The experts say the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years, while studies by more recent groups of experts say the age of the universe is 12.7 or even ,11.4 billion years old. Oh the humanity of it!
What frosts me the most is having to pay for those mandatory ‘science’ undergrad courses where we were forced to pay to learn the absolute and universal truths that are now referred to as: “You actually believed THAT?”. Then again as you get old you get to see any number of scientific or medical ‘facts’ at Point-A become pure BS at Point-B.
