If Trump can do what he wants with impunity, so can Biden. Or the next Republican president who decides, we don't need your useless asses collecting $265k per year(plus bribes).
Saw a Bald Eagle today. Normally, not a big deal since there are probably over 1,000 of 'em in N.J.
This was different. Usually, we see them by looking up. The white feathers are in shadow.
Today, I was at the top of the ridge in Ken Lockwood Gorge, N.J. I was looking down on the river when a Bald Eagle flew under me and along the river. There were no clouds in the sky and the bright sunlight, reflecting off the white feathers on it's head and tail --
Spectacular.
The eclipse and my iPhone. Can the phone's sensor photograph the eclipse without damage?
I have a cover for my lens but I was wondering about protective covers for cell phones.
My father was stationed in Hawaii in 1937. He mentioned several times, being taught swimming by Duke Kahanamoku.
My father was an excellent swimmer.
Anyway, I was going through his papers yesterday and found a ribbon where he placed third, in a 100 yd freestyle competition, "Navy vs. Honolulu." The event was sponsored by "Sector-Navy Swimming League." That, in itself, is interesting because he was in the army at that time.
Anyway, I'm wondering if there is any documentation of the contest in any local newspapers. I would imagine that the Duke might have competed in that match.
Another document, was the court martial summary for when he got drunk and punched an m.p. That one he talked about because he served his sentence, I guess in summer. And he was in a cell, looking out the window at soldiers mowing the lawn. He came to the conclusion that he was better off in the brig, than out in the Sun, mowing lawns.
--- Way to go, Dad.
If I donate $1.00 to Nikki's campaign, can I get on Donald's enemies list?
I tried, but failed to make Nixon's enemies list. That was one of the biggest failures in my life. I don't want to be left behind, this time.
Today is the 250th anniversary of the Princeton Tea Burning.
Princeton students gathered tea from neighbors and set it on fire in response to King George setting a tax on tea imported on Dutch ships. Brit. East India tea was exempt because that company was near bankruptcy and its owners knew people in high places.
NJDEP held a bonfire where tea was thrown onto the fire and burned, along with an effigy of Massachusetts colony Governor Hutchinson. A brief lesson described the background. Then pro and anti King George actors read speeches in support or against the King's policies.
It was interesting that the Pro-King (loyalist) point of view was presented.
It will be interesting to see if the N.J. Stamp Act riot in southern N.J. will be celebrated.
Will E.J.C. ever see any of the money? Let's review the case of Alex Jones.
He lost a similar verdict to the Sandy Hook parents. They have yet to see one copper-clad penny of it. Now, they are trying to settle for a lesser amount.
We're fucked. 30% of today's youths don't know what gender they are. 23% don't believe in no God.
Well Jesus -- last time people pissed him off, there was plague, locusts and som'thin about a big flood. Jesus don't like none of that gender confusing stuff that's going on.
This flooding, cold snap stuff and extra hot days over the summer.... that's just a warning to our country. Our country was founded on His name so he's been giving us a break up to now. But no longer.
So we gotta change or ways or see what's coming next for us.
Yes, Agnes, its sarcasm.
It's funny the way something hit you. My uncle died on Jan. 2. My cousin died Jan. 4.
Uncle, age 94, died of "organ failure cascade." Cousin died of lung cancer. she gave up smoking, 20 years ago, but it still got her.
Anyway, there were moments of reflection about times in our lives when we did things together. But it really hit me in a different, powerful way, when I deleted their contact information on my phone. It was a different "finality," that in deleting their contact information, I was aware that there would be no more phone calls, talking with them --or with my uncle, not seeing him every couple of weeks.
I remember reading that there are two times a person dies. The first is when they die - are declared dead and the formalities and structure of a funeral are completed. The second death is then the last person who knew you died. I think a new, contemporary third death may be added to the list.
