Hundreds of wells per month!
Shepstone continues to report the REALITY of the oil industry. Both political “sides” make the same idiotic noise about eliminating oil, and both political “parties” actually allow oil to continue booming. It’s a good reminder to pay NO ATTENTION to the noise and consider only the reality. = = = = = START QUOTE: U.S.…

Hello again, Full Circle
During the LONG hot weather I got twitchy and ‘snappy’, making premature decisions to cancel things. On July 27 I canceled the Full Circle food box service because I was wasting it. In hot weather I couldn’t spend much time in the kitchen and didn’t feel like eating much. Now I’m feeling the shortage of…

Reprint on political codes
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2022 REPRINT: Trying to track the latest in Elon vs Twitter, I noticed that Faker Trump is getting into the act with his usual random whiplash, countering Elon’s random whiplash. I’ve discussed this post-1990 style of random-sounding disorganized emissions from leaders and commentators.…

Political coding
SpokaneNews posts a city proposal to change something or other relating to transparency and fire dispatch. As a total outsider I couldn’t even grasp what the whole thing was about. Looks like garbled jargon. Several outsiders commented with reflexive partisan hatred. Several insiders with complete knowledge of the situation are against the proposal because the…

Cult vs noncult
Back in June I observed that Trump is a cult leader and Biden isn’t. When Biden was the figurehead, the Dem activists had nothing positive to gather their attention, so they focused exclusively on being ANTI-TRUMP cultists. Today the RFK cultists are swarming in Substack’s twitteroid Notes today. They talk about inspiration and crying tears…

Perfection
This podcast by Gallup is PERFECT. They’re discussing the sins and virtues of media, both traditional and social. They get EVERYTHING right. They grasp the vast sins of the media, and they grasp the needs and desires of real people. They don’t softpedal or downplay anything. They don’t pretend that media used to be better.…

Partial victory for art

Comparing with Romney
Right now the Repooflicans are wildly supporting the contradictory team of Trump and RFK, tossing 1950 insults at Harris. Compare with Romney vs Obama in 2012. Romney was hated for GOOD REASONS. He had spent his career destroying jobs and businesses. Romney spouted the old 50s era slogans, which were already obsolete. He had no…

Ditch Witch is still there
Noticed on this morning’s walk that the TDS fiber workers are using a Ditch Witch excavator. Ditch Witch used to be in Perry, a town of 10k near Enid. Are they still there? YES. The company became a branch of Toro in 2019 but still manufactures in Perry, with 1600 employees. Good sign. In former…

Old frenemy is back
Fluoride used to be the prime obsession of the OCD hypochondriacs. It disappeared for a while, pushed out by more fashionable fake problems like 5G and HAARP and Geoengineering and Nanoparticle Spike Proteins. Now it’s back! I see one screech in DailyMail and three in Substack. Welcome back to the OCD fold, old frenemy fluoride!…

Reprint on a lost opportunity
Linked in previous, worth a reprint. I was a more lively writer back then, before the holocaust used up my gumption. Note the mention of public “health”, which looks weird now that public “health” has morphed into public imprisonment and strangulation. I haven’t changed my attitude toward vax. I still know that vax is a…

Still mostly valid
I’m totally disgusted but not surprised at the “anti-virus” activists who are now solidly inside the Trump cult. It’s not news that activist leaders are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS working for money and power and greed. BUT: Exerting power in the correct direction is possible. Here’s a piece I wrote in July 2020, at the heart…

One auto trivium
GM cars usually had two keys, one for ignition and doors, and the other for trunk and glovebox. I drove lots of Chevys and always wondered about the inconvenient distinction. One of those auto dealer training films explained the reason. In cities where every parking lot had attendants or valets, you could leave the ignition/door…

Interesting detection
Last night I finally got around to switching the computer over to the new CenturyLink fiber connection, which I had installed for the phone 8 months ago. The changeover was easy, plug-n-play. As soon as the computer’s Ethernet was plugged into the CenturyLink box, the computer instantly started using it. Should have done it a…
