Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Good morning, WP💓 This one will stay with me all day…and beyond.
Mornin’ Betsy. Happy to know it blessed you.
It did, WP. It strengthens my “O ye of little faith” moments…moments, if we were all honest, everyone is subject to. When in our human frailties we can’t or don’t realize that God works in those mysterious ways, and we must let go of the tiller and trust with all we have that His steering is sure.

Cat looks pretty snockered already!
Good snow fighter this one, nice paw knuckle, big claws, camo brow good too, could be stick, leaf in snipper hunt.
Mungrel impressed with foggy beer eye too, shows hard day hunt !
Top it up attitude show good days work done.
Smart one like much, Feral smart too, Mungrel just don’t say how much, just a hound thing 😊 !
No beer for me today. Though I did just have some cheese danish. I am not a happy camper this morning.
Well, rah, if cheese danish doesn’t make you happy, something’s adrift. Hope whatever it is gets sorted out in double quick time. 🙏
Thanks fine Lady.
💓!!
I could use a cheese danish. Maybe afternoon will be better with or without beer Rah. A little prayer coming your way.
Well, I’m at my 2nd stop and things are ok. So something must be working for me. Thank you.
I suspect it’s all our prayers. There are many from the branches homed in on wherever you may be. Count on it😉
Well I’m home in one piece. The 2nd stop had computer problems and there was a delay getting me the bills for what they loaded on the trailer. I had to pull out of the door and pull up to the exit road to get out of the way because other trucks were waiting for the dock I was in.
When the guy came driving up with my paperwork on his fork truck he apologized for the delay. I told him “Believe me it’s not your fault it’s mine. I’ve been having a week of Mondays wherever I go,” He laughed.
At the third stop they had nothing for me to pickup. The first break I had caught all day!
Perhaps my run of bad is over?
Tomorrow I drive down the Lear in Indy then take the trailer up to Lear in Romulus, MI. After dropping the loaded trailer in a door there I hook to an empty trailer and take that to our terminal in Romulus. There I drop that trailer and I hook to a loaded trailer coming back to Anderson.
Should be able to get that done in a single driving shift but it is a bit tight if there are any significant hold ups on the road.
That does not mean I will be done for the week though. Based on the fact that the cross dock in Anderson is piled high with freight, I would not be surprised to be called to do OT.

Hi GH
I left you a quick song late in the day – end of thread or near so…
“Southern Cross” is about a sailing adventure on David Crosby’s two masted schooner. C, S, and N found magic with the blending of their voices. Not to sure Young added all that much to the mix. Musical heresy, I know. . . 🙂
One more. Graham Nash tells the story of how “Our House” came about. This is a richly evocative story of 70’s Rock music in LA. If you’re interest, get a copy of Hotel California which is a very entertaining and informative book about the music and musicians of that era. Fascinating read.
Good Morning Garrison!
Throughly enjoyed this set selection today. I remember when “our house” first came out, I used to dream of a home far away from the noise of the world. How it’d be. And now, I live in that house, minus the cats (allergic, yes, a feral cat that’s allergic to city cats). Although, my dream life hasn’t come to fruition as planned, in my mind, it’s still good. I watch my memories and dreams dance away in the lit fireplace. Funny isn’t it? No two fires are the same. Each one unique, just like our relationships with people.
Thanks, Garrison 😘
🎶 people get old 🎶
My Timex is at least 40 years old. In a world of weighty, expensive watches this old watch is a perfect counter-statement. It still works great. I’m rather proud of it. A physician friend recently looked me in the eye and told me I was old and needed to stop thinking I was still 45 . . . This song is prophetic. 🙂
Hey, Cat. I liked this song a lot and listened to it several times this morning. But that led me to look more closely at the house in the video. What an absolutely perfect location for this song! When she was in what was probably a children’s bedroom on a bottom shelf was a small dog figurine, something that was a reminder of who once lived there. That house is a place that is much loved. 🙂
Don’t you dare listen to that advice!! 🤗
I still have an inner child . . . somewhere . . . 🙂
👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!
Good morning, Cat💓
How fortunate you are to live in your house. When you spoke about your lit fireplace(s), I immediately thought of ours, as were, in Wales. My lovely, beloved home. Our fireplaces were coal. Yes it was not a clean fuel, but oh MY!!! The warmth and the beauty of the fires they produced! Our small morning room in the winter had cats, dog and us, all peacefully resting around that fireplace.
I really really miss them and still have to stop myself sometimes from throwing the odd bit of paper into our gas fire here, as we could do there.
Garrison’s posting of Our House really stirred the memory pot this morning. And yes..a real fire has the power to do that, more than anything else I know. Blessings, girl.
As Graham points out in the last video, their idyllic relationship only lasted a couple of years. Joni still owns the Topanga house, however. One of the sad things about the “LA Music” era is that it wasn’t very kind to the major women singers who never seemed able to form lasting relationships. 50 years later, for instance, Joni and Linda are still alone.
I often think how great it’d be to live a quieter life in a little town. But then I think about where I live now—nice neighborhood, friendly and kind neighbors, several close friends nearby, comfortable older home. Like Mick Jagger said: you can’t always get what you want but, sometimes, you get what you need. 🙂
Oh how true, Garrison. There comes a time when, if we’re forward thinking and realistic, a decision has to be made on where it would be best to be (if best there is) when things start going south. We made that decision when we were supremely content with where we were. But we started looking down the road and decided we needed to move, a now or never situation given that when we decided we were both 56. It was not easy.
But some 17 years later, it’s clear that it was the right decision. And like you, we have neighbours who are priceless. How fortunate we are. In the end, it’s all swings and roundabouts.
Nothing is perfect. Wants and needs are two very different things. We’re grateful for our situation, and we have our memories to fall back on. Almighty God puts us where He wants us…who are we to argue?🙏
Is it my imagination, or is the final verse missing on that reording of Southern Cross{? It seemed that way to me, but I must admit I’m still on my first cup of coffee
I have always loved the harmonies created by these musical geniuses.. even though I am a polar opposite from them politically. One of my favorite songs, not just for the harmonies, but for the amazing lyrical allitteration is “Helplessly Hoping”…
Crosby Stills & Nash – Helplessly Hoping – YouTube
🙂
Good morning, Garrison💓
Like Cat, I always conjured a vision of my perfect home whenever I heard that song. And for 20 years I had that home when I lived in Wales in the country. I was fortunate to have had, by serendipity or otherwise, that bless-ed time.
It was built in 1869 and a very sturdy house with sashcord windows, a slate roof, horse hair and lime plaster…all the oldy worldy things most would sneer at today as backwards. But they served us well, and we spent many months repairing to get it back to former glory. We poured our hearts and souls into the job, often working, just the two of us, until 2 in the morning.
We loved that house, and when we moved, we left it better than we found it…a thing my father and mother told me I should always do.
Memories, memories…sigh…the stuff of life. I hadn’t thought of Graham Nash’s song in decades. I’m so glad you posted it.
Hiya, Betsy! Having a place that’s “yours” is so important. Having a home is an emotional anchor. We bought this ’29 house in ’91. It was a turbulent time for us; the house, our dogs, and multiples of cats became our safe-zone. Looking back that’s how we learned that love is predicated on trust and loyalty. That got tested several times. I know love (and our Lord, of course) saved us.
Trust and loyalty are the very basis of love in the purest form. I agree, Garrison. I understand what you mean by turbulent times. We’ve had them as well. But, like you and your lovely wife, while all around us during those times tossed us about like so much wreckage, the one thing we knew was that we were rock solid. And again, like you both, we’ve been a safe place for the animals who recognized a good thing when they saw one. And finally? Yes, God, whose mercy and grace has sustained us all along the way. All blessings to you, my friend.💓
NATIONAL CARAMEL POPCORN DAY – APRIL 6
Combining popcorn and molasses began in the early 1800s.
Like many famous foods, Cracker Jack gained popularity on the stage at the 1893 World’s Fair.
However, in 1908, something happened to connect Cracker Jack and baseball permanently in the American psyche, while also launching the business into high gear. A young entertainer by the name of Jack Norworth penned a catchy tune referencing Cracker Jack and the American pastime. The song “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” not only caused sales of the snack food to soar but the fans of the game continue to sing the song at every game.
/revision/latest?cb=20110825023209
Used to love the fresh Carmel popcorn we could get at the county fair.
It used to be that when I ran an errand into town, I would make a list for four or more items, but I might not need to refer to it. Now, I have a list when it is just one.
Truth, VM!! I’ll go to the store for one thing specifically (no list), shop for other things, and come home without the thing I went for. That’s scenario “A”.
Scenario “B” is realizing I really must make a list, I do that. Then I go to the store and discover when I get there that the list is still on the table at home. Ah well…age does not come on its own.
I would try writing the one thing on my hand then forget that I wrote it one my hand and stood in the store wishing I had made a list on a piece of paper.
Not even noticing the writing on my hand.
Hahaha, Chloe😂. I truly hear you on that. For me, worse still, when I do manage to take a list with me, I look at it and can’t read some of my own scribblings. So I have to stand there in an aisle for a few minutes deciphering. How sad is THAT??
Bet, today before getting back from San Antonio I went shopping. Remembered all the things I cared about and for the rest I got a list on my phone courtesy of my bride.
Oh smart, G!! I never think of using my phone….silly really. Pictures and texts are all I use it for. I’ll have to get with the times and start using it for that.
Been there, done that. 🙄
Don’t feel alone. I’m just glad when I remember to take the list with me.
You shouldda been here last week
🙁
Running errands in town today and saw bright red 60’s car. Not sure make/model couldn’t see any emblems.
What I did see was license plate……
Bigugly
Reminded me of Treehouse.
A lunch the other day, I recommended a movie to a friend. Although he was very well informed about The Age Of Sail historical epoch, he said he’d never seen Master And Commender. probably one of the best age-of-sail movies ever made. My friend just texted me, saying he finally watch Master And Commander. If you are at all interested in sailing ship adventures, I can highly recommend Master And Commender.
Master Commender recommends Master and Commander.
I obey.
😁
Sorry, couldn’t resist. 🙃
Good morning, Maquis!!
😂😂😂! It’s no fun if it’s too easy.
On your knees peasant !
Absolutely… read the series of books .. from which movie was made…also great ..👍👍
Want to read another great sailing history, this one non fiction, I would recommend:
‘Ships of Oak, Guns of Iron.
The War of 1812 and the Forging of the American Navy.’ By Ronald D. Utt
Thank you…. ⛵️👍
I’ll look for ‘Shups of Oak . . .’ Rah. Thanks. Did you ever read Teddy Roselvelt’s ‘Naval War of 1812’? Wonderful book that he wrote when he was about 24 years old.
Ronald Utt references Rosevelt’s work several times in that book. And not I have not read it, but it is on my list to do.
The Patrick O’Brian series is great story telling
April 6 2016 Merle Haggard, American country music singer-songwriter (“Mama Tried”; “If We Make It Through December”; “Okie from Muskogee”), dies on his 79th birthday
I think this one is appropriate for the times we are living in nowadays.
Tammy Wynette (born Virginia Wynette Pugh; May 5, 1942 – April 6, 1998) was an American country music singer-songwriter and musician and was one of country music’s best-known artists and biggest-selling female singers during the late 1960s and first half of the 1970s.
Late entry that I found working of future postings of this nature.
Late in life Miss Tammy was recruited by The KLF for a highly unique music video recording for the White Room album called “Justified and Ancient” and it was actually very popular.
I never think of her that I don’t also think of The Master of Misery, George Jones.
I refrained from posting those duets and opted for this one.
Which is how she got posted tonight as I was adding George as I didn’t remember seeing her on my post list either.
Maybefor Georges later this month, the 26th.Actually I already have a solo picked out that I believe is more fitting.
Speaking of Willie Nelson and “going to pot”………

The Collision of God and Sin
…who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree… —1 Peter 2:24
The Cross of Christ is the revealed truth of God’s judgment on sin. Never associate the idea of martyrdom with the Cross of Christ. It was the supreme triumph, and it shook the very foundations of hell. There is nothing in time or eternity more absolutely certain and irrefutable than what Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross— He made it possible for the entire human race to be brought back into a right-standing relationship with God. He made redemption the foundation of human life; that is, He made a way for every person to have fellowship with God.
The Cross was not something that happened to Jesus— He came to die; the Cross was His purpose in coming. He is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). The incarnation of Christ would have no meaning without the Cross. Beware of separating “God was manifested in the flesh…” from “…He made Him…to be sin for us…” (1 Timothy 3:16 ; 2 Corinthians 5:21). The purpose of the incarnation was redemption. God came in the flesh to take sin away, not to accomplish something for Himself. The Cross is the central event in time and eternity, and the answer to all the problems of both.
The Cross is not the cross of a man, but the Cross of God, and it can never be fully comprehended through human experience. The Cross is God exhibiting His nature. It is the gate through which any and every individual can enter into oneness with God. But it is not a gate we pass right through; it is one where we abide in the life that is found there.
The heart of salvation is the Cross of Christ. The reason salvation is so easy to obtain is that it cost God so much. The Cross was the place where God and sinful man merged with a tremendous collision and where the way to life was opened. But all the cost and pain of the collision was absorbed by the heart of God.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don’t agree with us.
Dreaming at times my dreams seemed so understandable in sleep, I wake and they are not reasonable.
So what is it we are seeing, being given, to understand?
The Bible is much like this, God even more. It’s about spiritual and to find meaning many times we must let go of this world. OH MY! That scares people, and it should If your focus is not on God. It’s how we are programmed, for good or evil.
Dreams are more of a reflection than a prediction although they can be many things, IMO because they are spiritually connected. They can have no boundaries when we are not afraid. Fear binds us all hence “fear of the Lord” is opposite of that. Fear God and fear no man.
“God cannot be fully comprehended through human experience” It’s our humanity that has us limited.
We are spirits first, there we are limitless.
Thank you Dora!
I had a younger brother (Brent) with Downs Syndrome. He was the kindest, gentlest, most loving soul……gosh I miss him. He would never be seen anywhere without his favorite stuffed animal. It was Clifford, the Big Red Dog!
When my son was only about 2 years old, Brent was taken to the hospital seriously ill. He later died from pneumonia and other complications. But before he passed, he gave my son his most prized possession……Clifford!!
Fast forward 18 years. My son still has Clifford. Keeps him on his bed to this day. Every once in a while the conversation about the “Clifford Award” comes up and he vows he will pass it on to the “right” person when the time comes.
In our family, “the Clifford Award” is higher than any military decoration imaginable! Love the twitter post above. My wife has reposted it dozens of times on other sites!!
I can feel how you miss him, bugsdaddy. What a treasure “The Clifford Award” is. I imagine whoever is the lucky recipient will feel the honour of it and will look after it until the next person comes along. Your brother would be very pleased with that💓 B
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

BABY LIVES MATTER
My Monday continued into Tuesday and is now working on Wednesday!
Went into the terminal early yesterday. They have been pestering me to exchange my Samsara tab for a new one. Nothing wrong with the one I had but they are changing them out in all the trucks.
After getting the new one set up I checked on my load. The cross dock had just started loading the trailer and the trailer had a red tag on it.
I was told to just take it to the garage to get it checked out after loaded.
The dock was 45 minutes late getting me loaded. The garage ate another 15 minutes. Fueling another 12 minutes.
First stop Spring Hill, TN. Backed in the door and then got 7 hours sleep before they were done unloading their freight.
I have to finish my break before I can roll to my next stop at Smithville.
There is enough room for a truck to park along the curb in front of the dock.
Over the years I have backed into these docks many times with a truck parked where I was sitting to finish my break.
But a “driver” coming in felt I was in his way. I started to argue but thought better of it. So I moved.
And so here I sit, awake sitting in the drivers seat waiting for my break to end so I can roll and ready to move again if I have to before that time comes.
Pretty heavy fog here this morning. In normal conditions I would have just enough time to make it to Smithville on time. Not in this fog though.
Yesterday I spent the morning with a 2 1/2 week old little girl (granddaughter) and the afternoon with a 92 year old woman (Mom).
I’ll bet no one had a better day than I did.
Oh how lovely, Chuck!! I won’t even try to best that.💓
Really enjoyed Mani Sandoval direction of Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Heaven”. Good time and some needed encouragement for me! Showing tonight in many theaters. Ours was almost full in San Antonio last night.
Interesting thought from
Andrea Widburg:
“My premise is that Obama fully understands that, if Biden is ousted immediately under the 25th Amendment, there are only idiots and incompetents to take his place. If it’s not Kamala Harris, then it’s Nancy Pelosi and, if not her, then Patrick Leahy, Antony Blinken, Janet Yellen, Lloyd Austin, Merrick Garland…. Obama knows none of these nonentities will secure the transformation he promised America. Instead, there are three steps to return Obama to the presidency:
1 – Have the Democrat establishment remove Kamala Harris from office, whether through threats or bribes.
2 – Have the Democrats declare that, because world instability (Ukraine, Putin, China) puts us at unprecedented risk, only a politically seasoned person can be Vice President, with Obama graciously accepting that role.
3 – Oust Biden using the 25th Amendment. And voila! President Obama (again). He can even have Stacey Abrams as his veep.
The 22nd Amendment does not bar Obama from regaining the presidency this way. It only stops him from being “elected to the office.” The three steps above avoid an election.
Obama will then have two-and-a-half years to lock down America’s “fundamental transformation” into a fully socialized, third-world country, and Biden has given him a head start when it comes to destroying institutions. Heck, if Obama does the job right, he can be the new Putin or Erdogan: America’s President for Life.“
Yes, interesting perspective, nothing would surprise me, piglousy is my bet to step in somewhere carrying shit for brains along.
Point being that they directed the uki scams !
Meat in the soup is alphabet !
JJ Sefton highlighted that article and referred extensively to it in his Morning Report on Ace of Spades HQ this morning.
If there is a slimy, underhanded, unconstitutional (even barely) way to get that Marxist traitor back in, it will happen.
I believe yesterday’s pantomime served many purposes. Sefton highlights a very astute article on what exactly was going on. I think also it was a dry run to see how that Marxist would be received as a saviour of sorts for the disreputable, debauched, depraved, destructive, unhinged, paedophile party that the Dems are…an “Obama saves the day” sort of thing. A “Look at what you peasants have as president, and look what you could have” moment.
The Constitution means nothing to these people. It will be circumvented. And there will be nothing but judicial affirmation that this is all perfectly fine from the toothless and political Supreme Court. It also makes my heart and head hurt.
The end of the 12th amendment states,
<<
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
>>
How does that fit the scheme? Having been elected twice, isn’t he now intelligible by the 22nd.
Also, the 25th Amendment requires that the President nominate the new V.P. when there is a vacancy. Congress gets to vote, so they can reject a nominee, but that game will backfire if played too much.
Just how will they get Biden to nominate the jerk who ignored Biden the other day?
And ditching the V.P. will anger the constituency that required her on the ticket. And you will need one Republican in the senate to go along, having ditched the tie breaking vote.
Lots of possible pitfalls on that path.
Good find, Jim!! I’m breathing easier now.
Hello Treepers, I wrote a piece on the apocalyptical times we live in, and why the best is yet to come.

Thank you, Richard. I will read this…as soon as I pry myself from this wonderful thread.
That was extremely interesting, Richard…more so because very recently I have been contemplating the degradation of the arts per our progressive overlords, in particular what passes for modern classical music, and (as you focus on) what no sane individual can call art. All art is personal, I do realize, as is music.
Everything from this grotesque period holds no appeal for me…music, painting, architecture…none of it. A deliberate attempt to present the hideous as beautiful and worth preserving, when it is nothing of the sort. All of it reflects, for me, a depravity of soul and vision…a reflection of how low we have sunk.
Thank you for an insightful article. You’ve described in part my thoughts on how the debauched left destroy all aspects of a worthwhile civilization. It truly breaks my heart and disgusts me in equal measures…and leaves us the poorer for their destruction of it. B
Thanks! We will create an alternative!

After decades of putting in bird choppers and solar panels, they combined only supply 3% of the worlds ever growing energy needs.
Neither is a reliable source of energy.
Wind was always a vanity project. Those damnedable hideous things destroy everything the cultists say they want to “save”. Two faced, two sides of their mouths. It’s a sickness, a madness. And there is no cure.
Wind and solar are energy sources, not power sources.
An energy source is OK to do a job, if it makes no difference how long it takes. Like pumping water for troughs for farm animals.

In this song he teamed up with composer Henry Mancini. Mercer, a native of Savannah, Georgia wrote the lyrics as a reflection on his childhood days along the nearby rivers of Savannah.
Arguably the best performance of the best smooth pop song of the mid-20th century. Thanks for posting.
You mob heard from Frank? (o’l Salty) ?
I expect (hope) he’s really busy, Mungrel.
Me, too!

Biden lies and blames Putin for the soaring gas prices. When he blames Putin for other things, why should we believe him? Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. That is the price a liar pays.
With the Bald Eagles and Osprey over head today, I will catch my limit. Going to be a good day, Treepers! Have a good one!
Morning, CR. What a sight that must be! Sounds as if some good eating is on your schedule😊
Say it Loud
Say it PROUD

It’s going to get very nasty there. The inept powers that be want Khan out. The crowds who showed up in support for him were mind blowingly HUGE. This may be an overthrow too far.
Well Treepers, today was the day. my little dude went to the bridge. He rallied bigly,over the weekend! He started declining late Monday, had a mini rally for me on Tuesday…by early Weds, I knew it was time, he tried to rally but could not. His mind was willing but the body, not so much (brain tumors and their location affected his legs but not his mind).
With tears, I sent him back to the Lord and thanked the Lord for the gift or this sheltie and asked St. Francis to look after him.
Life will be different for a while…he was a high maintenance! Thank you for all your kindness last week…
Oh , Aggiegirl!!! God bless you💓. I am grieving with you. I suspected when something changed suddenly, you’d make that hard hard decision. Be at peace for him, AG, for surely he is free now from all pain. What you have done for him is the ultimate act of love. I am so deeply sorry. B.💓🙏
Thank you for your kind words, Betsy! The last 10 days were a roller coaster for him, good days and then not so good.
They initially gave him 2-8 weeks, 4 weeks ago. He was an agility dog–canine athlete. He knew he could not do those things but he tried as he wanted to, to please me. He was so protective of me, too. His mind was sharp but his body, not so much. He was 2 days shy of his 14 th birthday.
The pain and loss is fresh right now.
It takes a while, Aggiegirl. I know when we lost our Penny, the going home part was the worst. I’ve blanked out how long it took for us to find a sort of reality to her not being there. I’d give you a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic ear if I were near. Allow yourself a lot of good cries. You were each blessed he was with you so long. Wish we could just get rid of the bad part. 😘🙏 putting you in my prayers for comfort.💓
For weeks after Ian Kitty passed on, i would hear him pattering on the steps, still. Hallucinating, or ghost kitty, who knows. But I love him forever. In body, or in spirit, Ian Kitty was an awesome feline.
When my brother found him as a tiny kitten, his eyes were still shut. Ian Kitty was abandoned and crying loudly in the woods (someone had dumped him, I suspect from a house near my parents, down a nearby street overflowing with similar cats)… we fed Ian Kitty with a pet bottle, and he would hold the bottle with both his paws, like a baby. He would meow, so loud…. “Meeelk! Meeelk”. My little daughters would hide him in the pocket-pouch of their winter sweatshirts.
Aghhh. And now I am crying, for me and for you, Aggiegirl. We are blessed to get good times when we have them. A Sheltie Agility Dog! You both were blessed.

Hello Garrison… found this today… lovely as can be….
Anyone have any verifiable sources of info on the avian flue situation? Is it a problem? Is it a real problem? How bad? Contagious? How bad for humans?
Try a search with:

We as unvaccinated were doing just fine until vaccine roll out started globally. Today, two thirds of Americans are unfortunately injected with mrna shots. Our loved ones are injected and so many people are asking me how to detox from the vaccines. Doctors are recommending Ivermectin as an essential drug to give power our body to detox.
