Mornin’ Lucille, everyone, when you get here anyway. 🙂
Last night went pretty well with my new little doggie. She seems pretty happy with her new home. I gave in to letting her lay on the couch, but drew a line when we went to bed. She just said, “Aw shucks” and curled up on the really soft comfy doggie bed under the chair next to my bed. She slept all night quietly. So, far, the only problem is she doesn’t want to sit in the doggie booster seat in the car. She wants to be in the front seat by me, but she fell off 5 times on the way home from the pound and I will not let her do that. She will find I won’t give in on this. LOL

Have you tried small pieces of dog treats while she sits on it, and lots of high pitched “good girl” praise. I read dogs’ brains are more reinforced by the high pitched voice than the edibles.

Good morning everyone. I just spent some time looking at these pictures. Painted by a revert Catholic after his return to the faith, scenes from the Jewish Bible. There’s an interesting story about their very roundabout trip to the museum.
Really brings some scenes familiar and more obscure from the Old Testament to life. I was a little disappointed at not seeing more of Kind David, especially one with Bathsheba. Samson seemed to be among his favorite characters.

Once you’re in you’re ‘in’ regardless. Guy I was assigned to at the RNC in NOLA in ’88 was a money man and a big Republican mover and shaker. As if he didn’t have enough money his fortunes increased markedly post-election.
Makes me a wee bit sad sometimes that I didn’t leverage a couple of opportunities I had but then I’d have to live in the DC area and there ain’t enough money for me to do that. Yech.

In February of this year, we had a spate of Chinook winds that roared down from Canada and a lot of the tin siding from the abandoned garage across the street was ripped off and sent flying….One of those pieces struck one of my large six foot plate glass windows and shattered it.
I immediately contacted a glass dealer to come and replace the window, but Covid-1984 kicked into full gear and the glass dealer shut down. Today, 4 1/2 months later, the glass company is here replacing the window and just as the crew got the new glass in place my phone rang. It was our State Emergency Broadcast System….there is a major hailstorm expected to hit this afternoon…..
:0) Couldn’t have timed that any better if I’d tried.

Oh, good grief. Litenmaus, I understand what you’re describing w/re to both the Chinook and the hail storm – in the 1950s, my dad had a trusty barometer hanging in the back hall that pretty much told him what he needed to know about the weather, but no matter what, it didn’t change that helpless feeling when we saw the black clouds piling in from the west – our farm was 9 miles (by road) NE of Culbertson, couple hundred miles east…..
Best wishes for no harm to the new window……

In the last 15 minutes the black clouds started rolling in, the temperature dropped about 20 degrees and the birds have gone totally silent….(I wrote that almost immediately after your post)

And then the power went off, the thunder rolled in and the sky opened up.

No damage yet, but the sky is ominous, so I’m still a little edgy….

In the summer of 2008 when obama said his intention was to fundamentally change America, I certainly did not think it was charming, and I’m sure many people did not. I believed him. But even close family who actually do have respect for my take on things – thought I was over-reacting to a passing phrase. They don’t think that any more.
That’s a good chain of comments, stella. Thank you.
I like to read the last refuge twitter thread, too, when I can. It seems overwhelming to try to follow too many things, so the sifting and sharing is appreciated.

I believed him also. People generally give themselves away, and the more arrogant they are, the easier it is to see what they really are. Trouble is, people don’t want to believe the evidence. Most people really prefer to fight to maintain their safe illusions and will do so until the hallelujah moment.
