The little Chinese gymnast Wang Yin is so cute, I just want to put her in my pocket.

It’s gonna be a really, really good shoouuu.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Bootleg Beatles.
But now back to reading my book.
Is it a good one? Why yes, it is.
Thanks for asking.

That final detail I was waiting for from Milwaukee: the cop who shot the black gunman was himself black.

Milwaukee is one of the most segregated large cities in the country and has been a Democrat stronghold for decades, so you know who’s been responsible for the mess they’re in now. Milwaukee County Sheriff Clarke would likely attest to that. Not that he can do a whole lot about it even though he’s the chief law enforcement officer of… Read more »

#55 – Remember here BC, the objective is to get the elected politicians to prohibit policing of minority neighborhoods; thus allowing the thugs to take over and rule as they see fit. Same idea as the Somalis and other enclaves have about Sharia law. Of course, the end result is the complete breakdown of law and order in the US… Read more »

#54 EG: What better way is there to advance your people and community than by destroying it? The cops gunned down a terd with a long rap sheet who was armed at the time. The community should be celebrating that one of those who would randomly kill and/or rob and/or rape is taken off the streets, but no.

I can only attribute this behavior to having Paul Ryan elected as the Rep nominee for a congressional district. What else could it be?

Aha, at last an equestrian event on the main channel. Golf just finished and I’m watching stadium jumping, horse and rider over manmade jumps in an arena versus cross-country eventing with more natural items to jump over.

My BFF is binge watching the Olympics and eating up all those human interest stories about the hardships that the Olympians had to overcome to get there, etc. NBC apparently only puts that stuff out there to get the womenzs type folks to watch as apparently no one gives a rip about the events themselves, other than the medal counts.… Read more »

Well I finally got around to cleaning my new toy yesterday, I stripped it down and disassembled the bolt. Man that thing is easy to take down. I did have a little difficulty putting the bolt back together because of the incredibly strong spring that locks it in place. You have to pull the locking piece back 50 thousands of… Read more »

Turned on the “Rio Olympics”. Funny how they no longer call it just “Olympics” with the 5 rings. Nope it is the Rio etc etc etc. Anyway they are showing golf. What the hell. I used to enjoy the olympics when it was just track and field. I like the spear chuckers, hammer tossers, pole vaulters and limbo bar jumpers.… Read more »

I got an email from a former co-worker, 8 years younger than me, who retired after I did and was almost immediately back on contracts. We saw each other on the job (as contractors) maybe once or twice a year after that. Now he’s reporting he expects this year to be the end, unless or until O&G has a major… Read more »

Finally went out to empty the rain gauge from overnight: 1.7″. The lawn will be appreciative. Repeat of earlier in the summer when the grass got high as an elephant’s eye, but I could never mow it because it was always wet.

Looks like there was a race riot in Milwaukee last night. All over the top of Drudge. I’ll wait for the details after they might be available.

Good morning Hamsters. Got a whole tenth of an inch last night, but now we have a steady light rain and some ominous stuff not all that far north of us. We could do with steady and light rain all day, though the general radar picture doesn’t seem likely to produce something like that since flash flood boxes appear now… Read more »

We got an inch and a half of rain overnight!
We’ll take it. Up until about a week ago my grass has looked great, just enough rain along to keep it green, but August has been dry up until now.

High Tech Robber Barons Joel Kotkin at his best… And as their fortunes have ballooned, so has their hubris. They see themselves as somehow better than the scum of Wall Street or the trolls in Houston or Detroit. Itโ€™s their intelligence, not just their money, that makes them the proper global rulers. In their contempt for the less cognitively gifted,… Read more »

Been reading Target Patton.
Have you read it? If so did you think it was a good one?
Also read 1984 again. Is that a good one?
Saturday nights are for playtime when it’s raining outside.

Black as night to the north (maybe five miles) and rolling this way. Looks like it could get rough. I got home from church just in the nick.

Getting a little woolly at Chez Harp: wild wind and fitful hard rain. We had finished the nightly bird feeding session, and had enough time for a visit from a special little genius squirrel, before it got too weathery. For unknown reasons, we had not seen the special squirrel for perhaps a month. He arrives, runs across the deck to… Read more »

Distant thunder rolls around now, and the source is getting closer. Radar shows we are in the path of some productive clouds, though the sun rather weakly peeks out from under the edge of the cloudbank. Wind is picking up so something is afoot.

Oh, BTW – I heard on the Olympics that the Chinese gymnasts did so well in their last Olympics that the coaches got bonuses. This year, the government is asking for that money back. I was amazed at how poorly their team performed. One of them actually fell after a tumbling run, and landed outside of the white performance area.… Read more »
