I got up at 05:00 and it was 15 degrees. By 06:30, it had dropped to 11.
Thursday’s high is 53. That is a 50 degree swing in 72 hours from 3 degrees on Monday.

I was looking at the video response to the infamous Gillette ad GJT linked to last night. When I went to the website of Egard Watches, sponsor of the video, they said they’ve been overwhelmed by response to the video and have sold out of many of their watches. They’re also starting to make $10,000 charitable donations due to the response.

64 and partly cloudy here but we’re going to have an ice storm early in the morning?!

Well, I finally watched; What is a man? A response to Gillette. Very nice, true rendition of what it really means to be a man. And, I noticed this; 1,912,901 views.
Oh, and I’ve not heard of Egard Watches, but I’ll add them to my list of “Good Guys”. -
Looking at the Egard website, wouldn’t you know that they were sold out of the one I liked. Militia Automatic
I’m glad to see that self-winding watches are making a comeback, I have an Invicta that is self-winding, I don’t wear it much since it weighs about a pound! -
Is there anything out there that liberals touch that don’t turn to crap? Of course, I haven’t used a gillette product in years anyway, so maybe that’s why they are changing their advertising focus. With all the fake news going on out there, the media unashamedly continues to move forward with it. The ultimate fake is this year’s super bowl, but they did what it takes to make sure they got the teams they wanted, and after all, that’s what really matters. Oh well, according to my weather forecaster SD, we’re all going to die in an ice storm tomorrow, so I guess it really won’t matter all that much after all. Have a good day while you can.

I had no idea there were any flying examples of the I16 “Rata”. It had the misfortune of outclassing just about everything in the Spanish Civil War and what few were in the hands of the Chinese when the Japs invaded did well against the pre-Zero Japanese Air Force. The Russians thought things would stay that way and found themselves up against improved Bf109s in 1942.
Based in part on the GeeBee racer, it was cutting edge and fast, but by the time the Big War came about, it wasn’t even armed well enough to be suitable as a ground attack aircraft. You do have to admire the ballz it took to climb into one of these and go up against Messerschmitz.

This is interesting. Saints receiver, Michael Thomas, is citing the NFL Rulebook on Twitter and calling out Roger Goodell.
“The Commissioner’s powers under this Section 2 include the imposition of monetary fines and draft-choice forfeitures, suspension of persons involved in unfair acts, and, if appropriate, the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.
In the event of rescheduling a game, the Commissioner will be guided by the procedures specified in 17-1-5-11, above. In all cases, the Commissioner will conduct a full investigation, including the opportunity for hearings, use of game video, and any other procedure the Commissioner deems appropriate.”

The full story has emerged in the wake of the fake news blitzkrieg over the weekend, and the media outlets that spread defamatory smears against the kids are now being warned to correct and retract their stories or face a lawsuit. Contrary to the media’s malicious narrative, the kids were not racist rednecks mobbing a Native American elder with hateful slurs. It was quite the opposite.
Los Angeles-based trial lawyer Robert Barnes offered to represent the Covington families for free should they decide to sue the New York Times.

#12 – Why would the commissioner want a redo on a football game? Don’t you realize how hard it’s getting to rig the darn things to begin with to get the right teams into the super bowl? If they had a redo, same team would win – garonteed. Some of these things are carved in stone (headstones if need be).

The SCOTUS temporarily allows the ban/restrictions on transmissions in the military.
The temporary feature is to allow the ban to remain in place as the various case work their way up the chain back to the SCOTUS where the issue will be finally decided. The indications are that the ban will be the law of the land./winning

Seemed like an odd way to advertise a product made for men.
The racetrack promotion in Germany was sponsored by a drugstore chain to promote Gillette women’s shaving products.
How successful it was is anybody’s guess.
-
Dave, the I16 was a remarkable aircraft when it first came out. Used extensively in the Spanish Civil War by the Republican Air Force it was equal to or better than the ME109A’s, B’s, and C’s it came up against on the Nationalist side causing the Russians to think that they would be able to hold their own against the Germans if it came to that, so they slowed development of other fighters. The Germans kept tinkering and came out with the Me109E that nearly won the Battle of Britain, and would have if used properly.

ORWELLIANISM, PRIVATIZED Self-Imposed Orwell
There is no sinister, government-run system for punishing those who say or do controversial or unpopular things. Groups of often-anonymous individuals on social media take it upon themselves to enact their vision of justice — demanding the identification of anyone seen acting controversially on social media videos, declare them “guilty of hate crimes,” and demanding “action” against them.

I don’t think they really do.
I think it’s a buncha advertising pukes having fun with other people’s money.

I don’t get how any kind of advertising works but I’m probably not in anyone’s demo. But what about kittens?!

I just heard that AOC said that Super Dave has ringworm.
Still, she said it is “wrong” that billionaires can coexist in a country alongside “parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health.”
-
Go ahead and risk the ringworm. She says the world is going to end in 12 years. Why even try to change anything?

The latest issue of Nature magazine has a fascinating article that goes some of the way in vindicating Ronald Reagan’s infamous “gaffe” about how trees cause air pollution (because they do), but offers much much more about the problems of politicized and supposedly “settled” climate science. The article is called “How Much Can Forests Fight Climate Change?“, and it walks through just how unsettled this question is. The subhed to the story offers a good summary: “Trees are supposed to slow global warming, but growing evidence suggests they might not always be climate saviours.”
This reminds me of the time shortly after Reagan said trees cause air pollution when the EPA issued a warning to the state of Texas that there were dangerous levels of “volatile organic compounds” (VOCs) in the air over East Texas. The environmental folks in Austin had to explain to the idiots in DC it was because of all the pine trees in the Piney Woods, not human activity.
Not too long after that, the EPA came out with a warning about dangerous measurements of “particulate matter” in the atmosphere and the environmental folks had to explain to the idiots in DC this was caused by sandstorms, not human activity.
Also, in the 90s, there was an endangered species alarm from the EPA about some “rare” snake around the Palo Duro Canyon. They said there were only a few dozen left. Some professor from Texas Tech took his classes out there and they counted something like 6,000 over a couple of weeks.

A couple of excerpts from the excellent Greenfield column phil linked to in #39.
Journalism is deader than disco. The shambling monster still squealing about the First Amendment while pressuring social media companies to censor its conservative opposition under the guise of a Russian conspiracy theory has as much to do with journalism as Nabisco’s ad agency or Biden’s spokesman do.
and,
Facebook is pumping money into the media because when it doesn’t, the media runs Facebook hit pieces. It’s cheaper for Facebook to toss $300 million at the media than to fight each negative media hit piece. $300 million sounds like a lot, but Facebook’s summer stock market beating amounted to a $100 billion loss for the company and a nearly $16 billion loss for CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Silicon Valley isn’t trying to buy the media. Even the people who pour hundreds of millions into any social app used by at least a single millennial know that’s a terrible idea. They’re buying influence.

Was the O/c photo taken by Seymour Butts?

The erudite, classy Julie Kelly puts the NRO crowd firmly in their pathetic place. She demonstrates the moral power that used to be the province of Mr. Buckley’s legacy.
So, what motivated a seemingly measured man like Frankovich to pen a midnight hit piece on teenagers? What compelled Lowry and Nordlinger to join the outrage mob, and Goldberg to defend their choice? Why do NeverTrump (or even SometimesTrump) “conservatives” like Lowry more often than not side with the Left’s mercenaries in the media who are hellbent on destroying this presidency and the people who support it? After all, these are the same folks who warn us on a daily basis that the president cannot be trusted, that he’s a dishonest purveyor of the truth, and that his cult-like followers have no ability to distinguish fact from fiction.
and,
It’s hard to see how they can stoop any lower.
And these weren’t just any group of random high schoolers. These are boys who were attending an event to support a cause that conservatives have championed—despite immense cultural opposition—for the past four decades. Young boys who attend a religious school and presumably are from faithful families trying to instill traditional values in their children despite the Left’s continued assault on those values. Young boys who probably represent everything that the modern-day conservative movement has claimed to promote since its inception. Young boys who probably view their MAGA hats as a sign of patriotism and respect for the president, not a symbol of Racist Rube Nation. Young boys who we now know acted in a polite and deferential manner even while they were under attack by grown men taunting them and hurling hateful epithets at them.
-
To followup my #48, Molly Powell at NRO’s The Corner, makes Lowry, Francovich and Goldberg and the rest of the schlubs in management there look even worse.
One aspect of the Covington controversy has received very little coverage, let alone condemnation: the outright racism, homophobia, and anti-Semitism of the (very small) black-nationalist group confronting the teenagers. If you watch the nearly two-hour YouTube video, filmed by a man who seems to be a member of the Black Israelites, you will see the black men, all adult, hurling insult after insult at the students, for well over an hour. It seems accidental that the students and the black nationalists are at the same spot on the mall — the former waiting for their buses back to Kentucky and the latter staging a small demonstration.
The students are called “hyenas,” “dogs,” “white crackers,” and “faggot.” They are ridiculed for being lice-ridden and told to “go back to Europe where you come from.” One man says he can tell by looking in the students’ eyes that they will be “school shooters.” They are the “product of sodomy.” We hear that black Jesus is coming back to kick the “white crackers’ ass.” This black Christ is not like the image of Jesus the boys supposedly hold — that Jesus is a “faggot child molester.” “Your president is a homosexual!” one man yells. He urges the teenagers to look up a YouTube video of Rudy Giuliani in drag, kissing Donald Trump. (I imagine he is referring to the skit for a charity event in 2000 that featured Giuliani in, yes, a fetching blond wig, dress, and heels.) By “your president,” the black nationalist obviously means Trump, but one student hoists up a campaign poster of Obama, and only about 10 percent of the students are wearing MAGA hats. One boy says that most of the kids in the group aren’t old enough to vote yet.

SpyDuckus is telling me it’s nap time….
Quack! -
I’ve never worn a watch. Just couldn’t get used to it. In this age of cell phones they seem somewhat superfluous anyway. More of a fashion accessory. But if I did I would buy an Egard. Apparently they made so much money in the last week in response to gillette’s inept virtue signaling they’re able to donate a goodly sum to the Bob Woodruff foundation.

If true, this is a big deal.

That has always been the protocol. The Speaker, or the Majority Leader of the Senate, can’t walk into the White House without a formal invitation and the President can’t go into the Capitol without the same. Likewise for the members of SCOTUS.

From back in 2013, it was an ad before its time.

I think my mother first gave me a watch when I was about 10 years old. I’ve been wearing one ever since and can’t leave the house without it. I feel nekkid without a watch.
-
I really want to see the SAA physically stand in the doorway to the House of Representative and prevent his entry. Or that of any other member of the executive branch. Guess all the oversight hearings and the like are off. I guess he could stand outside on the steps and deliver his message. Problem is, I can find no official (or unofficial) notification from the Speaker banning members of the Executive Branch. This would be an interesting cat fight as I suspect the head of the Executive branch could find a way to make her life miserable were she to somehow venture outside the confines of the House chambers. Not sure she wants to go there if she thinks it through.
-
Her family is from Alberta, but they got to Texas as fast as they could. Impressive.

You’re underestimating President Trump. He will turn this into an embarrassment for her.
-
Not sure she wants to go there if she thinks it through.
That’s exactly what she wants to do. It doesn’t matter if it’s counterproductive. Dems get aroused when playing the victim.
-
For those on FB, I’m pulling the trigger. I meant to do it back in November but forgot about it. The disgusting racism, classism, sexism, anti-Catholicism (and that’s just from family) directed at these Covington kids reminded me I need to exit toot sweet. Currently I have my account deactivated. I need to sneak in and get alternate contacts set up with a few cousins then it’s lights out.
-
Just saw aoc’s speech. Near as I can figure she wants to outlaw billionaires so that everyone gets ringworms.
-
#58, 59 – I think that’s what I’m saying. As to Trump embarrassing Nancy, I don’t think that is possible since she’s both a female and a Dem. Logically thinking this through is another impossible task for Nancy, but she should have some staffers whose job it is to take care of the thinking part. I think Trump could take her apart like a $2 watch if she wants to stick to her guns on this.
In other news, I’m hearing that Cocaine Mitch is trying to pull an end run cave to kick the wall issue down the road while reopening government with short term funding. I think they have tried this before, and Trump has said no, but Cocaine is nothing if not persistent. Trump has the 2020 election riding on this, and Cocaine as well as the Dems know this, and they would both like to pull the rug out from under him.

What if I would’ve asked if the O/C pic was taken by Sally Mander or Al E. Phunt?
-
Nancy may control access to the House floor but I doubt she has the power to ban entry to the entire Capitol building:
Speaker Pelosi has informed the House Sergeant at Arms that no executive branch official will be permitted entry into the Capitol building.
-
When Fay was a small child there were a bunch of feral cats around and she got ringworm. It was not a pleasant experience. Her young father was not happy about it, nor about having to pay for a doctor visit and medicine.
When Mr. Fred got her home, he promptly went out and shot every cat in sight.
-
The last thing Nancy wants is to be sitting up there on world wide television next to Pence and behind the President, bleary eyed and passing gas, drooling and clicking her false teeth, and listening to Trump berating the Dems on the shut down government and trumpeting the achievement of our nation under his watch.

Well, this would have been about 1942.
They’d probably tried every home remedy including eye of newt with mustard paste and Varsol.
By that time her foot was probably rotting off and her Mom gave him the evil eye and made him take the child to town.Perhaps by horseback.

Anybody seen Ruth lately. My bet is that she’s on ice somewhere since the libs could not handle news of Trump appointing a new SCOTUS member just yet. But, just as water seeks its own level, information seeks release, and the news will leak out sooner rather than later. Seriously, anybody think that Fox News notice was a mistake?

So AOC says the world will end in 12 years due to climate change? If that’s the case, I think I might just change my world view. I’m gonna become a hedonist, buy that Corvette, and burn up my life’s savings. With such a known short window it’s gonna be a blast!
This is the attitude of a great-uncle I had. He was a Baptist, but he could hold his own in beer. He had tons of health problems in his later years that were exacerbated by the drinking and smoking. Doctor after doctor told him to quit. He said, “why?” He would rather die happy fully embracing his vices than to live a little longer in a miserable state of being. My great-aunt has been a widow for well over 25 years now.

I was a barefooted crazyass cracker boy and I always had a beagle dog running around the yard. I had ringworm on my foot more than once. What I didn’t know is the fungus that causes ringworm, if it’s between your toes it’s athlete’s foot, and if it’s in your crotch it’s jock itch.
I also grew up barefoot. I remember getting ringworm on my arm once. As an adult, I developed an incredible itch, starting in my foot and working its way up my leg. The itching was incredible, and there was no amount of scratching that would relieve it. I tried all kinds of creams – Campho Phenique, etc., – trying to solve this symptom of whatever it was that was making me insane. My skin got a weird blue mottling underneath it. It was a weekend when I finally reached the point of no return, but I couldn’t go to the doctor until Monday. I froze my leg, keeping cold packs on it to the point of making my leg numb. It was the only relief I had, and I couldn’t let my leg warm up at all or I’d go nuts with the itching.
As soon as I walked into the doc’s office and showed my leg, he said, “Oh, yeah, that’s a fungus.” Casually, like I had asked him the time. I got a prescription and got to the pharmacy, flying the freeway like a bat outta hell.
I *never* want to go through that again. I’ve had the flu. I’ve had a broken ankle. I think the fungus was the worst.

Okay here’s the real story of poor little Fay.
CREEPING ERUPTION / hookworms
Creeping eruption is caused by hookworms. Hookworm eggs are found in the feces of dogs and cats. After the eggs hatch, they mature into worms.
Winding, snake-like rash. This is because the hookworm burrows along a path that creates a winding rash.
The toddler’s feet were blistered all to hell from the doctor freezing along the worm paths. She was in extreme pain from this.
Her father’s reaction was understandable.
-
Not all justices have chosen to observe this custom, however. Justice Antonin Scalia (who died in 2016) stopped attending the State of the Union in 1997, reportedly calling it “a childish spectacle.” Justice Clarence Thomas also regularly skips the event, and Justice Samuel Alito hasn’t attended since 2010, when he visibly expressed disapproval over President Barack Obama’s criticism of the Court’s decision in the controversial Citizens United case. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not attend President Trump’s State of the Union in 2018, just as she did not attend his joint address to Congress in 2017. (Neither did Thomas or Alito.)
-
Fay says that plumbers or anyone who crawls around under houses can expect to possibly get the creeping eruption hookworms.
-
I was never a barefoot kid even though most of the kids around us were. I’ve always been a tenderfoot and never enjoyed being barefooted. At the least, I wore tennis shoes on bare feet because I couldn’t stand the raw ground as a kid…or today.
My neighbor is probably 60 years old and spends the entire summer barefooted, mows the lawn, uses a weedeater and all kinds of tools with no shoes. Weird and dangerous.
-
Our grandmother was a raving lunatic when it came to keeping her grandsons shod at all times, too.

Besides, stepping on a green pine cone with the hooks on it sucks.
Have I mentioned I hate pine trees?

She knew about hookworms and so did our great grandmother.

I remember walking down our shell driveway, barefoot.
After a fresh load of shell had been delivered.
I don’t know that a hookworm could’ve breached the callouses on my feet.
-
82
Ah, yes, that’s very different. I got that once and the doctor took this can of liquid nitrogen and froze it along the tract the sucker had dug through my skin. Not fun at all. Granny called it “ground itch”.
-
Forgot all about that.
-
Ground itch refers to the inflammatory reaction resulting from certain helminthic invasions into the skin.
The responsible agents include:
Threadworms
Strongyloides stercoralis
Hookworms
Ancylostoma duodenale
Necator americanus

Texanadian: Get a new house for free.
A Canadian woman said she is offering her $1.7 million home to a person who can write the best essay.
Alla Wagner, from Millarville, Alberta, said she suffered a back injury in June, which makes it difficult for her to move through her large home.
“When the home care nurses came here, they suggested that I make a few changes to the house, like upgrades, so I can fit it to my disability, but I don’t want to believe that this is it,” she told CTV.
-
I’m a tenderfoot now. When I was a kid I could run through a sand spur patch and not feel a thing.

#83 – Well, I’ve never attended one either. But I did watch all of my adult life until Obama came along. I just couldn’t take the pain even though I’m pretty sure that Bill Clinton was sharing it with me. I look forward to starting to watch them again, regardless of the venue, however, if Nancy is back there peering over his shoulder it doesn’t make it any easier.

I had ringworm a few times when I was a boy. It always came from playing with stray cats. I did eventually learn my lesson.

I wore automatic watches for over a decade until I purchased my first smart watch from Fossil last year. The jury is still out on whether I like it or not. There has been a few times when it didn’t charge properly overnight and the battery died before 7am. I then took the watch off and put it in my backpack. I felt very nekkid without that watch.
Gordo doesn’t wear his Invicta because it weighs a pound. Heck I thought those Invictas weighed at least 3 pounds. Sometimes those automatics do feel heavy. I bought a faux-lex when I visited Dubai. It keeps good time and it is relatively light compared to my other automatics.

What the hell is an automatic watch?
Mine’s automatic. Timex Expedition. Quartz. Battery dies every 16 months or so.l
Smart watch? Recharging overnight? WTF?
I never wore a watch until eight years ago. I’m not sure how I lived without it. I am constantly recording the time on paperwork. I like being able to see the time in a
microsecond on my wrist. Besides I often leave my phone in the truck so I’m not interrupted while trying to concentrate on certain critical projects. -
If a watch doesn’t have hands I’m not interested.
Digital watches are ugly and the government uses them to monitor your every move.

Digital watches are the Devil’s trinkets.

I remember a Pictionary game night with family, many moons ago. I may have still been in college. Anyway, my nephew began his drawing…a square…some numbers…some wavy lines…we adults never got it.
It was an alarm clock. If he’d drawn a round clock with little bells on it, we would’ve gotten it. None of us related to a digital alarm clock.
-
Re hookworms & ringworm, etc.
I can remember occasionally being outside and barefoot, usually on a small grass lawn. Even a small grass lawn was hard to achieve in West Texas in the the 1950’s. But I never had any parasites. I can remember fleas on the family dog, and nothing good for removing them, except combing them off and dunking the flea comb into hot water. -
Is that a lawn with Small Grass or a Small Lawn with grass?
