A question for any historian that studies

Christian history. Seems to be a possibility, according to the Google, was King James a Drag Queen?

Bad Bunn Burn this morning.

My new Bunn Coffee maker is terrible. I’ll never buy another one.
Loved my old one. But after 8 years it wore out. Bought a new one and nothing but problems. Then this morning I burned my fingers. Very painful.
It overflowed and no way to stop it. Pulled out the tray thing. Big mistake.

The new ones suck and I’m tossing this one out. Had to do a pour over thing to get a cup and not a fan of that.
Guess it’ll be a Mr Coffee Maker.
I like a pot and not into single cup, pod makers.
Ouch. Burned fingers are a pain.

A little history of the NRA.

It was created in 1871 by Union generals to teach Northern youth to be better shots to kill Confederate soldiers.
Now in business to support big business gun makers, Republican Party and Putin.

I love my yard sale Pedi-Paws

nail grinder.
Dog hated it, but works great on my nasty toe nails.

Only paid a buck or two, years ago. Just checked Amazon and they are pretty cheap new.

Stopped in to look around a new dispensary in town today.

It replaced the old State Police Post that had been there forever. Progress.

August 11, the worlds longest

Yard sale begins. 200 miles along M12. I went a few years ago and had a ball. I’d skip most of those on the main road and hit the ones along the way that were a mile or two off M12.

Hidden hydrogen Does Earth hold vast stores of a renewable, carbon-free fuel?

Way to costly to produce, there may be vast underground stores of hydrogen. If true it could solve our energy problems.

Bourakébougou, Mali, to drill for water, but had given up on one dry borehole at a depth of 108 meters. “Meanwhile, wind was coming out of the hole,” Konaré told Denis Brière, a petrophysicist and vice president at Chapman Petroleum Engineering, in 2012. When one driller peered into the hole while smoking a cigarette, the wind exploded in his face.

“He didn’t die, but he was burned,” Konaré continued. “And now we had a huge fire. The color of the fire in daytime was like blue sparkling water and did not have black smoke pollution. The color of the fire at night was like shining gold, and all over the fields we could see each other in the light. … We were very afraid that our village would be destroyed.”

It took the crew weeks to snuff out the fire and cap the well. And there it sat, shunned by the villagers, until 2007. That was when Aliou Diallo, a wealthy Malian businessman, politician, and chair of Petroma, an oil and gas company, acquired the rights to prospect in the region surrounding Bourakébougou. “We have a saying that human beings are made of dirt, but the devil is made of fire,” Diallo says. “It was a cursed place. I said, ‘Well, cursed places, I like to turn them into places of blessing.’”
