We had a nice trip out to see daughter but dang it is good to be home. I wonder when El Gordo will be back? I see him over yonder sometimes and I think he’s having surgery on his other eye his week so I guess we’ll see.

FWIW; He is in front of a Twin Beech 18 so did he fly that? I only remember him in a Cessna 310. The older model with the torpedo, wing fuel tanks

The whole plexiglass thing was even more stupid than the masks. There was never a single recommendation or mandate regarding plexiglass shields. Some chain store started and then it exploded across the country making many extremely happy plastics suppliers. If you haven’t priced heavy sheet plastic like Plexiglass in the last few years, you will be shocked to find it’s significantly more expensive than glass.
It was a giant drain of money and productivity when that money could have gone back into the business to improve it. They might as well have just set fire to the cash.
-
The only report I saw on plastic glass shielding in stores and offices by some research university said it only made the micro-environments worse and increased the chances of people infecting one another.

Yeah, I read that, too. But who ever said that common sense was common?
*********
Since I’m all up in my C&C, I tend to gloss over another substack that I’ve managed to land on – not sure how or when – written by Dr. Robert Malone. I read it this morning.
Basically, China is out for world domination. I knew that, have known it for years, but they are certainly ramping up their efforts. Peter Sweitzer has come out with a new book on it, and he said it’s the scariest investigation he’s ever done.
And he’s investigated the Clintons. And survived.
Here’s the link. I marvel at the folks who think America can never be overtaken, can never fall. They’ve gotten so complacent with their lifestyle and wealth that they can fret over pronouns instead of their freedom. Just because American started out being free, and has been a superpower for so long, they feel protected. Things will never change. They think. Or don’t think. I’m sure Rome felt that way, too.
None of us are safe if we are not vigilant.

But now, I have coffee in hand. I need it after not falling asleep until sometime after 2:00….again…..

C&C NEWS ☙ Tuesday, October 18, 2022 ☙ GET OUT
Good morning, and Happy Tuesday, C&C! Our roundup today includes: Russia and its allies prepare for a big move, while our corporate media keeps selling fairy tales about Ukrainian victory; energy, drones, troops, and Belarussians; Tucker questions Ukraine aid; Canadian doctor rounds up 80 sudden doc deaths; Dr. McCullough links bursting myocarditis cases to jabs; Tulsi endorses Kari; French general salutes unvaccinated; and the latest salty cause of blood clots.
Well, as usual, the menu at the C&C looks interesting, here we go…
-
First up: Ukraine
First, the usual disclaimer: Due to historic levels of propaganda and the wholesale occupation of corporate media, it is hard to know exactly what to believe. Even independently-sourced reports are squashed under a morbidly-obese clown of fake bot accounts and false-flag trolls from all the various intelligence agencies. So I’m doing my best.
/snip
To understand what’s REALLY going on in Ukraine, we need to look at energy, drones, troops, and Belarussians.
He does turn a phrase. Anyway, he goes on to describe how Russia is systematically taking out Ukraine’s energy infrastructure – a classic pawn move before a ground assault. And winter is coming. (I wonder – will that hurt or help Russia, to not have energy readily available on someone else’s home turf?) Russia is using kamikaze drones purchased from Iran to do this – which they were able to do, thanks to Biden’s releasing of Trump’s ban on arms sales. Thanks, Joe. Enjoy your ice cream, you doddering
fooltool.And Iran has sent some of its crack troops into the arena to operate their drones. Gee, Russia teaming up with Iran. What could go wrong? Oh, we’re still pursuing a nuclear treaty with Iran. Again, what could go wrong?
Israel’s interim prime minister … this weekend pledged to send Israeli hardware to Ukraine to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. Why Israel? Because it has special equipment designed to counter Iranian drones.
But Russia warned Israel, they’d better not do it.

Christians end-times watchers noted with great interest the developing Russia-Israel conflict.Is it me, or is it getting hot in here?
Read the column to get more info on countries evacuating their citizens, Moscow prepping bomb shelters, Belarus also joining the fray…so much.

And Childers reports on a Canadian doctor who reports the real numbers on his colleagues’ “sudden and unexpected” deaths.
The Washington Standard ran a story yesterday headlined, “Dr. William Makis Proves Canadian Doctors Deaths Following COVID Shot Have More Than Doubled To 80.”
Dr. Makis sent the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) a spicy letter last month, notifying the organization about 32 doctors who’ve died suddenly and unexpectedly since the jabs came out. Recently, he’s discovered even more such deaths, and on Friday, sent an updated letter notifying the CMA the tally is up to EIGHTY dead doctors — most young ones.
According to Mr. Makis, mortality rates in Canadian doctors — especially younger doctors — has shot right through the roof:
/snip – insert text and a sad stream of doctors killed in their prime
So far, the CMA has ignored Dr. Makis’ letters. But just a small group of member doctors could force the CMA to respond. The CMA could then force the government to respond. Doctors, you are being killed in great numbers. Speak up for yourselves!
/snip
Nut up or shut up!
I wonder how many nurses have also died as a result of the jab? Janitors? Cafeteria workers? They were all required to take it to work in many of these hospitals or health environments. We focus on the doctors because they are more visible in their roles and so valuable to our society, and because they are so expensive to replace – but all of these other people have valuable roles, too. But nobody counts them. At least, not that I’ve seen.

Good Morning Hamsters,
Only down to 54 here with a lazy breeze at 7, and it looks to be a nice day. A solo juvenile deer was in our front pasture trying to figure out how to get over the fence to keep up with its older companions who can jump over. The deer must have managed, as there are now only squirrels dashing around in some game.
Purrscilla keeps watch in the front hall when spouse goes out to bring in the Chron each morning. Cat hearing is much more acute than ours, so she knows our footsteps. Most of the time she just sits and waits, but sometimes she tries to go out the open door when he comes in. She usually gets to the end of the porch before we bring her back in. She is a house cat for her safety. Still too many varmints in the area despite its growth in new subdivisions.
Weston Lakes subdivision in Fulshear had a 6-ft alligator pay a call in someone’s front yard not long ago. A pet cat tried to play with it to no avail fortunately because the owner scooped it up and took it inside. And then called animal control.

Now Childers goes on to myocarditis:
On Charlie Kirk’s show late last week, Dr. McCullough reported on a new Thai study concluding that pediatric myocarditis cases have jumped from a baseline of 4 cases per million before the shots, up to TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND cases per million after the shots.
Video link: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1581175570603413504/pu/vid/640×360/nJHYic8p9LJfYTm_.mp4?tag=12
And what scares me is that the heart failures could take years to culminate in death. The numbers are only going to go up – unless they are covered up.
I had a classmate who’s wife “suddenly and unexpectedly” died. She was a beautiful woman, and my friend is sad. Unfortunately, he’s not the only one grieving. I pray for my loved ones daily.
My siblings and I have been texting quite a bit on this lately, along with world events and end times scenarios. Let’s just say that if it weren’t for the bat guano crazy part of their personalities, we’d have a lot in common. One sister HAS to be on top of her health issues because she suffers from a chronic and debilitating disease. She refused the jab. Vehemently. Her immune system is already compromised, and she refused to endanger herself more. Green Cousin, however, was told by her transplant team that she had to take the jab to stay on the transplant list. She is now in kidney failure, which I believe is part of her liver failure, but it just means that her system is even more weakened. I live in dread of getting “the call”. She is a force of nature, and the world will be a lesser place without her cheerful FU attitude. I just don’t know if she’ll succumb to her organ failure or some weird cancer, or even a simple infection.
Yes, I pray for her and her family as well.

And this story: Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Kari Lake in Arizona. Then she said this:
Nailed. It.

Finally: A French General lauds the unvaxxed as heroes.
I’ve been called many things, but hero was never one of them. Thank you, General.
And finally:
The UK Express helped muddy the waters again, adding to the cacophony of nonsense helping hide big pharma’s liability for its products’ harms, by identifying POTATO CHIPS as the latest culprit causing blood clots.
/snip
Thanks experts! They’ve finally gotten to the bottom of this! They found the SMOKING GUN. Potato chips. From the picture, it looks like barbecue-flavored ones are the culprit. Dang it.
And so ends today’s delightfully snarky round up of the news. Just stay away from those barbecue flavored chips, folks. I lubs y’all and wants to keep y’all around. Indefinitely.

The reception desk at Sugar Land Methodist Hospital still has a plexiglass partition. It does not extend the full length of the desk and most people just step to the end. With the employees wearing masks the partition made it even more difficult to hear the receptionist. When you walk over to admitting, some desks have partitions and others do not.
Masks are a funny thing these days. Probably 99% of the employees wear a mask in the open common areas. 100% wear masks when face to face with a patient. Many employees wear masks from their cars in the parking lots or parking garages. Patients are a different story. I’d put their percentage between 60% – 70%. For every appointment, I get a text reminder to bring a mask.

Hubby is working with Handyman to start work on setting up our rainwater tank. The gutters he got originally aren’t going to work, so they headed out to return those and get some more.
I guess I need to work on emptying and refilling Fred. And later, to buy some more pint jars. I’ve used all of mine up. I have large mouth quart jars, which I plan to fill with delicious bacon in the next day or so.

Posted at Regulations.gov web site as of October 18, 2022:
” Matters To Be Considered: The agenda will include discussions on influenza vaccines, pneumococcal vaccine, meningococcal vaccines, respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, rotavirus vaccine, dengue vaccines, adult immunization schedule, child/adolescent immunization schedule, COVID-19 vaccines and Chikungunya vaccine. Recommendation votes on pneumococcal, adult immunization schedule, child/adolescent immunization schedule and COVID-19 vaccines are scheduled. A Vaccines for Children (VFC) vote on COVID-19 vaccine is scheduled. Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
For more information on the meeting agenda visit https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/meetings-info.html . ”
This is outrageous. Rochelle Walensky and these swamp bureaucrats have buried a vote on making Covid vaccines essentially mandatory in public schools in this announcement. Some of the other vaccines wouldn’t be considered today were it not for the wide open borders and millions of 3rd world children pouring into our public schools who have never had a vaccine of any kind and could be introducing these diseases into public environment.
I am not familiar with the Liberty Launch website or the operator, Troy Smith, so I can’t vouch for them, but the contributor’s column appears to be a physician and look reliable.

WARNING POSSIBLE FEAR MONGERING AHEAD
Today’s Hamousonian
Mascot Monday
Click the link at your peril. You have been warned!
Buried in the photo gallery of a recent event attended by the Associação de Assistência às Pessoas com Câncer, a Brazilian non-profit that helps people with cancer, is a photo of its horrifying mascot.
The mascot, we are told, goes by the “Mr. Balls,” and he works to raise awareness about testicular cancer. According to the AAPC website and courtesy of some Google-translating, “Both children and adults loved taking pictures with the mascot , a friendly snowman in the shape of testicle.” -
Tomorrow Wednesday is the date EG gave for his 2nd cataract operation.

MsTT @ 9:10 – At least ‘for now’ I still DO NOT ‘TRUST’ Tulsi Gabbard.
Based on various readings that I cannot link to (life is too short eh?) IMHO it’s no better than 50/50 that Tulsi may well be a Soros inspired provocateur / Rhino (even if She declares only ‘independent’ instead of Repub)

While prepping for this rainwater harvesting tank setup, Hubby found that the nearby skylight had been leaking for quite a while. They are repairing the roof before doing the gutter work.
When it comes to household chores, one thing leads to another….

Wow. Just. Wow.
Do the kids even realize what it is? But then, this is Brazil, where near nakedness is the norm.

It’s taking longer than I thought to process my herbs and dried stuff from Fred. And I still have to cut up the tomatoes to load back in.

If there is a skylight, it will eventually leak. Period.

FEAR MONGERING AHEAD
There are so many positives in making natural gas out of any poop including reducing pollutants that run off into creeks and rivers. However, near sighted environmental FEAR MONGERS cannot see the forest for the trees.
My take: Fear-mongering and converting chicken poop to natural gas
…………..a Maryland-based company is making a case for a chicken poop to natural gas plant near Seaford. Bioenergy Devco may not like that description, but that’s what the company has in mind at a portion of its 200-plus-acre compositing site purchased from Perdue in 2020. Bioenergy Devco wants to add something known as an anaerobic digester to the site that would convert poultry waste to renewable natural gas.
What is the problem then? I thought the energy push was towards renewable? Food and Water Watch casts a wide net with its hard-line environmental stance.
- Proximity To Schools And Neighborhoods Isn’t Smart When It Comes To Biogas
- Environmental Justice Issues Raise Concern About Factory Farm Biogas “environmental racism.”
- More likely to be nears blacks
- More likely to be near people over 65
- More likely to be near low income people
- It’s All So Bioenergy DevCo Can Make A Buck From A False ‘Climate Solution’
Environmental racism the new old hammer to stifle progress. Same old playbook with different names.
Chances are good that the project will get the green light as it goes through Delaware’s permitting process, but expect to see more than a few fact-free claims and fear-mongering.

Can’t wait to see the Brazilian mascot for colon cancer.

Tedtam, I am attempting to prep commercial chicken broth to dehydrate to make chicken broth powder (a watched pot truly NEVER boils) after checking the cartons and finding that it is FAT FREE… prayerfully, that will keep it from going rancid – IF THE SILLY STUFF EVER BOILS… I mean, how can I boil it down to a thick syrup-y texture if it won’t BOIL???? BTW, it is also one carton of 30% lower sodium and one salt free (because I couldn’t find the second carton of salt-free until after I gave up and mixed the two together) and, at this point in time, it doesn’t taste salty at all. Pretty sure that will change with dehydration.

Had a doc appointment in Tomball so decided to try a burger at the new Freddy’s Steakburgers in town. If I’ve ever eaten there I don’t remember it. It was good but nothing special, not over ten bucks for just a normal combo special for sure. Not a fan of the shoestring potatoes.

Somehow we didn’t have these problems when Trump was president.
” What do Joe Biden and Harry S. Truman have in common?
Both presidents ran the US when American stockpiles of distillate fuel were exceptionally low. Currently, the US has just 106 million barrels of diesel and heating oil in commercial stocks; the last time inventories were that low in mid-October was in 1951, when Truman was in the White House. Typically, inventories should be 30% higher this time of the year. “
plus this,
” Last spring, wholesale diesel prices surged to all-time high as inventories plunged in April and May, pushing retail prices to a record high. Now, a new crisis is in the making. America typically uses the low-demand seasons of spring and summer to rebuild its stocks of distillate fuels ahead of the winter. But it failed to do so this year, and stocks are now nearly as low as they were in April, at the end of the last heating season. “
Refining capacity for diesel fuel on the East Coast is very sensitive to seasonal demand. The same refinery units that produce diesel also produce heating oil. Fuel marketers and heating oil distributors start bidding for refinery time and diesel fuel starts going through the roof from October to April on the Eastern Seaboard.
” Other interventions would have significant consequences, potentially harming American allies. In Washington, officials are mulling restricting, or even banning, diesel exports. If the measure is approved, it would leave neighbors including Mexico, Brazil and Chile short of diesel. In July, the last month with available full data, US diesel exports to Latin America hit a record high of 1.2 million barrels, double the amount a decade ago. “

Bsue Good luck and let me know how it goes. The true test will be when you open that jar in a few months and take a sniff.
-
Same goes for newly elected politicians.
-
ROTFLOL Tedtam – I don’t think I’d bother taking a sniff… with the poly-tick guys, I’d leave the lid on and chuck them in the dumpster, as far from me as possible.
I did check out purposeful pantry’s instructions, and she suggested that with any of the meat stocks, store in shards IN THE FREEZER, to prevent them turning rancid.
-
Tedtam, BTW when I got the 2 quarts of broth cooked down to “syrupy” there was only 4 oz left – I did pour onto 2 edge trays… And away it goes… Oh yeah – and now the chicken broth that I cooked down is pretty dark brown LOL

Guardians have 12 outs left, trailing Yankees 5-1

Bottom 8th: The Guardians haven’t been able to create much operating room against the Yankees bullpen, and will now need at least a four-run inning in the bottom of the ninth to extend their season.

I have to be a little gentle with my next door neighbor, Al, who is a big Yankee fan and has also done me a huge favor this week letting me refinish my front door in his heated garage. He was at the game today in Brooklyn, but when the ‘Stros kick their ass it going to be a very sad day around here.

Go Astros!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THE YANKEES!!

What a story.
The two most feared hitters in baseball going mano y mano.

All my neighbors are just arriving home from the Yankees game.
I sure wish I had an Astros hat to wear around outside this week.

Poor Yankees.
No celebrations. They have to go get on a plane right now, sleep in Houston hotel tonight, and prepare to play the rested Astros tomorrow evening.

I spent a good chunk of my late morning/early afternoon grinding and storing dried herbs. Took me longer than I planned. Then I was supposed to go to my investor lender’s office to sign a lien release for a private loan that paid off, but it was too late. My I/L friend called me to talk and it turns out that the lady I was to meet with leaves at 3:00, not 5:00. So I’ll go see her tomorrow and see him next week, to reinvest my funds. Gotta keep that retirement income coming in, so I can buy more canning jars. It’s what Hubby and I have worked our butts off for, spent sleepless nights for, dealt with amazingly horrendous tenants for. I gotta keep the money working for us, instead of the other way around. Especially at our ages.
Instead, I went by the bank, thrift shop (crapped out there on jars, dangit), then on to do some other shopping. I had to jump right into fixing dinner for Hubby and cooking bacon for canning, tomorrow.
It seems that I missed a bit of goings on while I was busy doing stuff.

Looks like the Adams family is out to loot Nashville again.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Tennessee Titans and Nashville have their eyes on hosting a Super Bowl, a Final Four, a College Football Playoff game and much more after lining up the last financing for an estimated $2.1 billion domed stadium they hope opens for the start of the 2026 season.
The Titans and Nashville Mayor John Cooper announced the agreement Monday with $760 million in bonds issued by the Metro Sports Authority in a deal that still must be approved by the Metro Nashville City Council.
Combined with $500 million in state bonds, the Titans are getting what is considered to be the largest public commitment of $1.2 billion in public funding for an NFL stadium.

Tedtam – the 4 oz of reduced broth turned to 2 freeform blob shaped sheets of “plastic” that I peeled loose from the edge trays, turned over and let go for a while, and then, after dinner, loaded the remaining mixed veggies into the remaining trays and turned the heat down from 145 to 125, for the veggies and left the plastic broth blobs in for more drying… So I think the broth powder will work, but still need to be stored in the freezer (it shouldn’t take up nearly as much space as the 2 quarts of broth did, tho’)

Mharper is a bad influence.
So I should stop mentioning that some days I end up taking 2 naps?

(it shouldn’t take up nearly as much space as the 2 quarts of broth did, tho’)
True. Maybe I’ll try that next time. I cooking some chicken broth in the crock pot right now.

49 GJT
Same old story.
wash rinse repeat
-
Tedtam, the only thing I can say about this broth was, being commercially produced, it was low sodium, fat-free, clear as a bell, and tastes like chicken broth. I’m not sure how one would go about getting all THOSE things that were missing out of good home-made broth, but think those are the things that make it go rancid (at least so fast)- and even at that, the prepared pantry lady says it needs to be stored in the freezer.
Added – I did run across someplace today that I’ll have to find again that showed how to make your own bullion cubes… not sure I trust the method but it does merit checking out again

My current retired leisurely lifestyle was acquired from a lifetime of work. I’m especially proud of a 2-year period AFTER I was retired from Schlumberger as a programmer, but was hired back as an independent contractor to work up a huge software testing system that could be turned over to Chinese testers. I worked 60 hours a week for those 2 years.
-
mharper
Just kidding around.
I’ve hated napping from birth.
A three hour slumber in the middle of the day is pretty disconcerting – A whole new world that I’m not sure that I like.
-
Mharper – I had my share of those 60 hour weeks, the working ’til 2:00 a.m., the dealing with lawyers, the wrangling with computer programs that just didn’t want to work, the crazy customers (see ‘lawyers’), the stress of juggling family and work…
….and then I hear the welfare folks with hands out, demanding things because they’ve been told they are “entitled” to them, even when they are capable of working and jobs are available.
What really chaps my butt is feeling like I have a target on my back because we’ve earned what we have, because I’ve “won life’s lottery”. We started with nothing. Nothing. Hubby had a very used van, some hand tools, knowledge earned from working with a master plumber from age 13, and a tremendous work ethic. I was at an entry level management position, trying to raise two toddlers and do Hubby’s bookkeeping in the evenings/early mornings. We worked hard, took risks, stressed each other out at times, lost money, made money, and never gave up.
So, yeah, I don’t take what we’ve earned for granted. Hubby’s given his body to keep a roof over our heads and to feed and clothe his children. I remember nights when he’d come home from some middle-of-the-night call, ice cold as he slid into bed. I would cuddle up to him just to warm him up because even after being inside for a while, his skin was still ice cold. At 3:00 a.m. Then there years of pushing himself under sinks and twisting around under houses, the climbing up and down off the backhoe, dropping metal shavings into his eye and dropping hot lead on his hand. I remember him slicing off the top of his knuckle, wrapping it in a paper towel and duck tape, then finishing the job. Because he wanted to be a responsible husband and father, and the job had to be finished so he could get paid. And then there’s the bacterial infections he’s gotten, because plumbers deal with messy stuff and dirty dirt. One of those was life-threatening and required a stay in the ER as the doctors shoved IV antibiotics into him to stop the infection from climbing up out of his leg and into his torso – which we were told could very well have been lethal. I had to nurse him through his injuries, handle the bookkeeping and pay the bills so he could rest, and try to handle everything for which he didn’t have time, energy, or patience.
So don’t tell me we’ve “won the lottery”. Don’t tell me you are more “entitled” to my money than I am.
You can tell this wisses me off.
-
Amen, sister.

Tedtam @ 9:12pm
We worked hard, took risks, stressed each other out at times, lost money, made money, and never gave up.
Yeah most people think small business owners ride a perpetual gravy train. They don’t realize that sometimes mistakes are made and money is lost as a consequence… sometimes alot of money.

Try setting an alarm or a timer. A timer works well if you want to limit how long you’ll be conked out.
Unless you turn off the beeper and then hit GO again.
