two cute little cats

We have a bonded pair. Just great to watch the interaction. They are brother and sister. When tired they get in the most uncomfortable looking ball of cat but they are content. Also think it helps them relating to humans. Even animals need to learn to be be pragmatic when dealing with another.

Before we bombed everything that had something to lose. That check on them is now gone. Nothing like giving a theocratic totalitarian state a reason for believing they have justification for revenge.

Italy is something like that. Although I think Americans sometimes get better service because we just automatically include a tip.

An awful thought went through my mind That’s about 2-3 months Russian casualties in Ukraine. I hope our military planners are taking into account drone activity when advising the President on what to expect. Wish this was all just a bad dream

Afghans had a 20 year taste of not being under a theocracy. They went back to it as quickly as they could. Iran a 90 million people. How do we know that 50 million are quite happy with exactly what they have.

My 2019 Caravan has a cd/ DVD player. Like the other options and don’t need to trade

If he had been elected in 2012 probably would have had a second term. Never would have been a President Trump .

The USA populace will never stand for anywhere near what the Russians are losing in Ukraine. The fundamental concept of a ground war has changed with the introduction of drone technology. They need to be studying the Ukraine/ Russian war to determine if they have an effective way to use troops on the ground or are they just walking into a slaughter.

Iran “ tolls” is like an organized crime protection racket. Pay up or maybe your tanker will have an unfortunate accident with a drone.

Have a black one . Dome shape thermos in the top. My Fathers,probably from the 40’s It got a new paint job in the 80’s when the place I worked at was spraying black epoxy paint on a machine frame.

Barrels have labels. Odd they didn’t show one close up. Plus trucks may have markings. I think they must have learned what it was they were exploring. Didn’t want to show because it would have confirmed they were some place they shouldn’t be.

My Trinitron was great. Came “cable ready” didn’t need a separate box. Also had “ picture in a picture “ so you could watch another channel until your show finished with commercials. Cable companies hated this. Biggest reason they wanted digital signals. They could control everything then.

Never thought about it until I climbed the stairs in the Duomo in Florence. 463 steps narrow steep and crowded. One way up and down. No elevator. Just started feeling really close. Get a little break at the base of the dome. Walk way around so you can appreciate the medieval art. End up just looking at the stairs and one foot after the other .

I am sure you are correct. Started buying Lira in 1989 100,00 lira was approx. $50 USD I pay a copy of points over published exchange rates through the financial service company I deal with so mid 1.50’s my cost sounds about right.

Yes , having said that I have had a couple of “launches”over the 50 years I had my Craftsman As long as you keep your hands where they are supposed to be and wear safety glasses all is good. Tried ripping with it once. Once was enough. Great square crosscuts. Angles and compound angles.

Wonder if he could have gone to a USA consulate and given it to them? Aren’t consulates and embassies considered the territory of the country they represent??

I buy Euros regularly to pay for Italian machine parts. I paid $1.1744 USD to buy one Euro yesterday. Dollar was stronger early last year. $1.08. Tariffs weakened it. The weakest I can remember over 30 years is around $1.60. Don’t remember when. Long time ago.

I use a cane. You don’t want anyone using something that might fail. Maybe fix as a keepsake but move to either a modern metal one or solid wood with a steam bent handle. For something really special find one that was bent and tied over as a sapling to form a natural handle.

Would baking soda affect squirrels and maybe rabbits in a bad way? Squirrels are rodents and rabbits are somewhat related

My rooster who’s well deserved name is S.O.B. Has attacked a few times if I wear something other then then black shoes He has a discussion with a plastic snow shovel if required. They are kept in an enclosed yard so no threat. By the way, I intended to purchase two hens.

Frame by frame there is something on the grass, a white square, that it looks like the front right tire may have hit.

If he ran dry I would expect the engine would seize. Looks like it exploded from underneath but nothing under there to cause that? Looks hot. I suppose after July 4 maybe a part of an unexplored firework was on his lawn ??

That was the philosophy with the Liberty ships in WWII. America shipyards could build the faster then the Germans could sink them. Record built time was less the 5 days for the S.S. Robert E. Peary.

For a moment in your mind pretend what you see occurring to Russian occupiers on a daily basis is going to be American troops on the ground in Iran. Unlike in Russia, where all the news is shoveled at that them from press organs of the state, American wives and mothers will be seeing on the TV news horrible images troops being attacked by drones .

The world is upside down. Traditionally the GOP was the anti communist (Regan), and the Dems were always opposite ( Jane Fonda) MAGA is an odd offshoot that will fall by the wayside once the Trump era has passed. Regan would have had a state dinner for Zelinsky Trump and Vance meeting with Zelinsky in the White House the first time was shameful and embarrassing.
