Real capitalism works.
While “journalism” and academia and politics continue to destroy their own credibility, big corporations are returning to grounded sanity FAST. Here’s a lengthy list of corporations that have abandoned the Gaian religion. It includes most sectors, from high tech to petroleum to clothing. Microsoft and Google, formerly leaders of the religion, have decided that profit…

Good news on nukes
Shepstone lists some HIGHLY encouraging developments on the nuke front. 1. A reactor in Michigan is being reactivated. 2. The Biden admin is subsidizing new and reactivated nukes. Trump didn’t. 3. Nearly all of the 94 operating reactors have extended their official licenses for 60 more years. 4. Two new reactors on an existing site…

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.…

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…

Nice landmark
Before the “virus” holocaust I often had good casual conversations in the store or the neighborhood or the bus. All conversation was wiped out in the holocaust, along with everything else that made life worthwhile. The perpetrators, including Demon Trump and Demon Inslee and Demon Mecher and a million soulless bureaucrats, will never be punished…

Deeeee licious
Love love love the smell of unemployed “journalists”. Latest example out of thousands:Axios is firing 10% of its monsters, citing a “volatile media environment.” Translation of “volatile media environment”: Customers finally got tired of being punched in the face. Customers got tired of seeing nothing but fear and panic, with far less than zero factual…

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…
