A Minority Of One

To wit:
The USAF is already flying unmanned surveillance drones over Iran. They have been doing that for over two years. The Iranians have attempted to shoot them down but failed. The way they got the RX-170 was by hacking into the drone's electronic command system. That way they got it down literally unscathed.

Now the President has "asked" Iran to return it. What a laugh!

There are already some politicians who have raised the concept of restricting voting rights to property owners and employed males. The wing-nut governor of Ohio got a bill passed that would eliminate early ballots and restrict the rules regarding registration to vote. We raised petitions and got over a half million signatures to put that on the ballot next November (which forces the law on 'hold' until after it is decided by vote.) The minimum number of signature is 300,000. We handed-in a half million!

The "god" of the New Testament is peace-loving, kind and redeeming. The "god" of the Old Testament was a bastard who slaughtered entire populations. (When someone uses that clause, "But the Bible says,..." I walk away and thank fate that I can.)

Thanks. Super post! Memories that we share.

It will get a few more decorations, but the hard work is finito.

Gorgeous! As they always are! I miss many things about living as close to Vegas as I did for 30 years. One of the paramount things I miss is the fabulous brunch at Bellagio. The biggest and the best - in my memory.

Soon as I sell my next painting I plan a forage run at Aldi. I do that selectively, but I always take my ACE Hardware cloth bag with me. When the bag is full, I'm done with shopping. What is red yeast rice and why does it lower cholesterol? Interesting!

No decorations are close to the bottom. Quincy has already collected a few "toys." They are unbreakable, so to speak. Next are the eyewash boxes and presents, the collection of teddy bears, and then I will finish the room decor.

When I was a school kid the novel "Lady Chatterly's Lover" was banned and panned. That made us all run out looking for a copy. I bought one and shared it with guys I knew. I still don't think I am going to rot in Hell for that. LOL

I qualify for at least two, maybe three, of those "Hoarding" shows you listed.

My "relax and kick back in a soft chair" drink of choice is a fine Amontillado sherry. I cook using cream sherry. Except for the Italian "sherried" sauces for which I use Marsala. Marsala tastes like sherry and it comes from western Sicily, around Palermo. My stock of both is near depleted, so if I can find the cash I will ask Santa to surprise me with new ones on the 25th. 'Santa' could be a ginger cat for all I know.

"Ah ken eet they-ut, too." My mac 'n cheese is never dry. You must have butter in it. BTW: I am really disturbed about people wasting good recipes with "cooking Sherry." For crying out loud! The Sherry in a real bottle in the wine section of the supermarket is so much better. The stuff they call cooking Sherry isn't even Sherry. It's a blended concoction that bears no resemblance to the real stuff.
