Rain at last!
After a month of nearly unbroken heat, we finally have a RAINY DAY! I went out to walk in the rain and everyone had the same idea. Passed 4 walkers, compared to the usual 1. The last long hot spell was in 2015, arguably worse because it was in June with longer days. But I…

One part works magnificently
One part of local and state government is still fully functional. The wildland firefighting system responds FAST when things go bad, places crews on the ground and water-dropping planes in the air, in an organized and productive way. Last night a fire started near the cemetery on the west side of the river. Planes were…

Satisfying ending
Now that the superhot weather is done and I’m functional again, let’s try to keep up with some stories. Here’s a surprising update on the Craig Wright saga, which I was following before the heat. Via CoinTelegraph: = = = = = START QUOTE: Australian Craig Wright has finally admitted he is not the inventor…

Dog’s dream
After one week of storms and three weeks of solid 90s and 100s, we’re finally back to normal summer with cool mornings and warm afternoons. As usual I’ve been sleeping and eating poorly in the heat. This morning I finally made up for lost sleep AND missed dreams, with a hugely complex dream, lots of…

Somebody had the right idea
Our cowhands wore boots and chaps to protect their legs from sagebrush and thistles and cactus. I’ve always wondered why they didn’t give their horses similar protection. Via Vintage.es, some French farmers fitted their donkeys with leftover trousers to guard the legs against flies and mosquitoes and thistles. Since the donkeys were just pulling plows…

Somebody gets it!
Pacific Legal Foundation was among the plaintiffs in last week’s Supreme decision that restrains the authority of agencies. They were suing on behalf of a South Dakota farmer who lost the use of part of his land after a federal agency decided that temporary snowmelt was a “wetland”. They also sued for a trucking company…

Weird but nice
Weird event, turned out nice. After lunch, without warning, somebody started mowing my back yard. I thought maybe she was a neighbor, so I was feeling guilty and somewhat trespassed. After she finished she walked back to her parked car, so I knew she wasn’t a neighbor. I went over, handed her $60 and thanked…

Great comment, new thought
SpokaneNews explained that the small Cessna people are seeing all over the place is a Highway Patrol plane going back and forth over I-90 looking for speeders. It does an especially good job of keeping up with idiot motorcycles, who have been screaming around lately at 160 MPH. Best comment: I wish they would spray…

That was fast.
Last week I wondered: The final divorce of Saudi from the Bush house may cause a shift in this pattern. Up to now we’ve been operating as a general contractor for Saudi, destroying every country that threatened to compete. Saudi has now decisively moved into Russia’s house. Will we finally attack Saudi in PROPER response…

England still lives.
Kirn also gets in a well-aimed dig at the Gaian fuckheads vandalizing Stonehenge. They are screwing with the wrong pagan gods — their own! How stupid is that? They’ve unleashed the bards and leprechauns on themselves. Looking at the clip of the vandalism, I’m hugely impressed by the instant response of normal people. As soon…

The Bush World Order is done.
Since 1974 Saudi has been the guiding star of our world policy and our oil-based world economy. Our wars against Iraq and Persia and Syria and Libya were fought on behalf of Saudi. Saudi just left the venue. Saudi has been sliding toward the sane side for a few years, making more deals with Russia…

BRAVO for Mexico!
I stopped following AMLO after he joined the ballgag brigade. For many years I was admiring his GENUINE POPULISM. Looks like Mexico has regained its sanity now. WHO is trying to restart the temporarily ceasefired holocaust using “bird flu” this time. A Mexican who was dying went ahead and died, and WHO instantly claimed the…

Oddity about dream locations
I started life in Oklahoma, then spent much of the ’50s and ’60s in Manhattan. Spent the ’70s all over Oklahoma: Enid, Ponca, Norman, OKC, Shawnee, Stillwater. Early ’80s in the KC area, late ’80s at Penn State. Moved to Spokane in 1990, here ever since. My dreams were ALL located in Oklahoma until about…

Thanks
We just had a quick ministorm, typical of spring weather here. Two minutes of HEAVY rain, two minutes of moderate rain, and then Thanks, Ma Nature! I’m having a bad week and needed a positive sign. = = = = = The Weather Bureau got a better picture out in the country.
