Hey guys. For the last few months I have been working on creating a new god. One who cares about the planet and all of the folks who call it home. And not so much about pigmentation and who you poke. But the other day a story on NPR about stuttering reminded me of something I had known for a...

This is always my least favorite thread. But we need to show the love. Fred White, drummer for EW&F has died. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/02/1146587565/fred-white-drummer-earth-wind-fire-dead

In two days the vote for speaker of the house takes place. If the five who say they will never vote for Kevin do as they say, there is a good chance Hakeem will lead after the first ballot. Of course they can change the rules so a plurality is enough, but it will be fun to watch...

I used to listen to this type of music all the time. Still get in the mood for it once in a while. The new year makes you miss all of them who have left us.

We all know what loitering munitions are capable of doing when the right weapon system is used in the right situation. The fact they can hang around until the kill shot is a game changer. Wiki wiki says A loitering munition (also known as a suicide drone[1][2][3][4] or kamikaze drone[5][6][7])...

We are up to 57 days between named storms. Third place in the record books for longest breaks between storms. Just a few days away from 2nd place. It looks like that is about to change. But it's going to miss me by a long shot. We have only had one small hurricane since Michael. Fred I thing it...

For some reason I always thought this was the firm.

Some of the have nots have moved up the grid, while Lewis languishes in the rear. How long will it take the Silver Arrows to put the porpoises behind them? The red flags pushed the end of quali past my recording window, so I had to look online to see who got the pole.

My least favorite music thread. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/21/entertainment/meat-loaf-obit/index.html

I've been watching quite a few of these equipment videos. I figure others might enjoy them too.

The big three entitlement programs, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid make up the bulk of the budget. 23% for Social Security, 25% for Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and ACA. That leaves a measly 16% ($697 billion in 2019) for Defense. With the wars winding down, will that number come down? Odds...

We had a huge thunderstorm roll through earlier. At present there is light rain, 74F with 95% humidity. Forecast low of 72F with 60% chance of rain tonight. Mainly just waiting on Fred to see what he leaves us.

Love it or hate it, there is no hiding from it. Popular music is everywhere. The other day I heard John Mayer on the damn gas pump. It's so bad I had to post this thread just to get it out of my head.

Good Morning folks. I'm having a hell of a time with my garden and this everyday rain. There isn't huge amounts. Today's rain has been 0.8 inches so far. And for a few days there were only light rain. I'm picking my tomatoes as soon as they show color or they split. Sometimes they split anyway...

Lots of folks made music with their friends. Here are a few.

J'ai eu un peu de mal avec ma mémoire ces derniers temps. Que disent-ils? Une image vaut mieux que mille mots.

As we all know, there is a civil war going on within the GOP. I want to highlight the different approaches they are using to serve their constituents. Here is an example from Texas dealing with the winter weather.

Since the Colbert Report is off the air there is a lack of good satirical content available. Once in a while, these guys are not too bad.

So far only a handful of cops and firefighters have been named as being present, but in the days to come, it is sure to increase. The blue line flags were out in force.
