Impressive. Who did the embalming?

Not to blow my own Marilyn Horne, but I've got a pair of Franco Corellis in such good shape that if anyone thinks their gonna' get their mitts on those they'll have to pony up a pretty stiff Leontyne Price. So they may want to fold before they seriously run afoul of the law.

"I'm not a rodent" is what I wish Captcha would ask me to declare, just to be a bit less tiresome and just as helpful as what it usually asks. In fact I think it ought to declare some things about itself. I can never seem to get the motorcycle and traffic light questions right. But I think that's because it's AI that runs them, and I have seen other evidence that AI comes up with wrong answers and expects the humans to go along. This was in multiple-choice training quizzes. I happened to know the real right answers, but the program wasn't accepting them. My boss confirmed that one of the bogus answers was nonsense. I could see how AI might have extrapolated that one from something else, not knowing the difference. This is why I want some kind of AI disclosure law, and maybe a mandated option to contest or report AI falsehoods.

As to the velcro critter: That one has to have been discovered, or at least named, no earlier than about 1960.

Because "it" is stoopid, and is allowed to get away with stoopidly abusing users, because the people who let it get away with that are allowed to get away with letting it do that.

I'm thinking about coming up with a form of civil disobedience that might work on them, or it, as a test of a new concept of individual action. I've decided what we need now is a new paradigm for civil disobedience. It should be subtle, fun, and innocuous, and will exist between the cracks and be creatively taken up by individuals rather than being managed by any institution, because most of them can't get anything right. The revolution will not be televised.

I'm relaxing for a bit. I just drove to Trotwood to pick up a Honey baked Ham. Serving instructions "remove from refrigerator and sit ham on counter for 30 minutes". I think I can do that! In a few my youngest will be back from the store with more potatoes. We made about 8 pounds, Katie fears it isn't enough.

I made the deviled eggs last night. My SIL tried the filling (there's always some left over from filling eggs). She liked it, but said it didn't taste like deviled egg. She said there are many different tastes in deviled eggs, mine are sweet. Perhaps the fact I use sweet pickle relish and (splenda) brown sugar. I like them more spicy, but my MIL doesn't like spicy (pepper can be too spicy for her). I wanted to chop up shrimp to mix in, Katie said no. Thursday I made 8 eggs worth of noodles (1 egg can feed 2-4 people, we are expecting 17-19). Pam's sister is bring her grandbaby, so she'll crawl around the floors a bit. Katie steam cleaned them Thursday. You could eat off these floors...come to think of it, our dogs do eat off the floors, whatever hits is theirs.

I had raked/blown/mulched leaves last weekend, but the final tree to drop leaves is shedding. sigh! Too wet to do anything with them. Besides the IU/OSU game is on. I think there's a law against running leaf blowers/lawn mowers during a game, and hitting a power pole might get upgraded to a felony.

I’ve been dealing with chronic hip pain for years. I went to an ortho and he took a film and said, “you have some arthritis and sent me home saying take ibuprofen.” Literally all he did, no physical exam, didn’t touch my body. I thought well I’m just gonna have to live with this until I need a hip replacement. Then it dawned on me one day, how about I try physical therapy? My husband had a coworker make a referral (one perk of having a dr husband) I am not even kidding, two weeks later I have days where there is zero hip pain. So that’s my PSA of the day, try PT if you have chronic hip pain! Lame ortho doc didn’t even suggest it. 👎🏻

I occasionally miss the fall colors of West Virginia where I grew up and the Berkshires where I lived for 25 years. It's interesting that you can see like 15 maybe 30 miles away, mountain top to mountain top. You need a pasture clearing or elevation. When I've traveled back east on business, I sense a few moments of mild claustrophobia now. Like that first breathe or two when lungs are underwater scuba or snorkeling.

I love the infinite horizons here. From my front driveway I can easily make out the Kitt Peak observatory 60 air miles away. And I can see peaks 70 80 miles away.

If that was a radius, I could see over 11,000 sq miles !

With Biden leaving office and Trump coming in, pardons or clemency for turkeys likely to become as scarce as hens' teeth. Unless you were involved in an insurrection or some other bird-brained outlaw scheme.

Believe me, I know how dangerous having so many can be. We hit one several years ago, and thank goodness we weren’t going fast.

We’re seeing them all the time now, and during hunting seasons it’s especially scary because they’re moving a lot more. They seem to be out any time of the day, too. We also see a lot of dead ones along the roadsides. The DNR (I think it was them) used to pick them up, but now they just leave them.

Morning. 50F

Some interesting history preceding Kennedy assassination, 61 yrs ago today

On the morning of November 22, 1963, the Dallas Morning News contained a flyer saying the president was wanted for “treason” for “betraying the Constitution” and giving “support and encouragement to the Communist inspired racial riots.”

A bumper sticker produced during the Mississippi crisis warned that “the Castro Brothers”—equating the Kennedys with communist revolutionaries in Cuba—had gone to Ole Miss.

Their analysis looks correct to me, but I’ve been reading Robert Bryce for a while, and watching Mark P. Mills’s video presentations.

To me, all the net zero mandating by central government is no more sensible than if the federal bureaucracy mandated all cars have to be hovercraft at the latest by 2040, after which all wheeled vehicles will be banned. In response, “insiders” and “experts” warn that this isn’t possible. The mandaters then correct their ambitions to achieve the goal by 2060 instead. *facepalm*

Must have gotten lost. Just finished cleaning the stalls and the rest of the AM chores and haven't seen hide nor hair of 'em.
