“It’s apocalyptic, it’s like the end of times.”—William O’Neill, American human rights observer, about the situation in Haiti to the UN. IOW, chaos. It’s so much easier for US corporations to exploit natural resources in a state of chaos, as opposed to states with strong governments. See those hills behind these guys? They’re full of
First, yay and congratulations for heat!! I'm also glad you got to see the eclipse - I was in the center of totality in 2017 and it really is almost indescribable.
As for Ukraine, my Ukrainian wife stays in touch with friends in Ukraine. She says Zelensky could have up to 40% support - no more. When she'll even talk about it, she says "Zelensky is stupid."
I see the ongoing destruction in Ukraine and of many places I've been. It's now moved to power plants, though not the associated dams. But no electricity, the new mobilization law without an end to the contract, lowered age to 25 etc etc will not help that support.
To me, it feels like it MAY be ending, unless France and the UK sent troops as they are discussing. If they do that, and Genocide Joe gets his $62 billion, then it's WW III - or WW last if it goes nuclear.
1. Your furnace, a solid Carrier, is back in working order. I hope it lasts another 25 years.
2. Oreo the Cat was rescued by the fire brigade. I hope Oreo stays away from chimneys and trees.
3. Awesome photo of the eclipse. We had it here in Toronto. As I wrote before, Arya the Cockatiel became quiet at around 3:20 pm, during peak darkness.
Glad you have one of those HVAC's that were better made decades ago, OB. Welcome back.
You know, anyone who reads the fine print on this latest student debt bullshit should know that it applies to those who 1) have been paying a long enough time on their loans that they're almost paid off, and 2) has conditions that go into effect in 2025, so you see, ya'll you have to VOTE first for genocide Joe and hope then that whatever bits and piece you might get are left to the Senate to decide. More bullshit from the person who still can't be propped up, cause who the hell would believe Biden now unless they're like my sister (and she's the boomer who lives with the fantasy of what college got her all about circa 1969.

Three things to celebrate:
1. Your furnace, a solid Carrier, is back in working order. I hope it lasts another 25 years.
2. Oreo the Cat was rescued by the fire brigade. I hope Oreo stays away from chimneys and trees.
3. Awesome photo of the eclipse. We had it here in Toronto. As I wrote before, Arya the Cockatiel became quiet at around 3:20 pm, during peak darkness.
Poor kitty running from the machines like humans fleeing skynet. Glad they got him out.
