Friday No Smoke Open Commentary

NEW YORK—In a bold move to protect the lungs of New Yorkers, Mayor Eric Adams has announced a groundbreaking ban on the infamous Canadian wildfire smoke that has been wafting its way into the city. Concerned about the potential health risks posed by the foreign fumes, Mayor Adams is taking decisive action to create a smoke-free environment for all residents.

Addressing the press at City Hall, Mayor Adams declared, “Enough is enough! We cannot let our beloved city be engulfed in smoke from across the border. We have a duty to protect the lungs and air quality of New Yorkers. Starting today, we are banning all Canadian wildfire smoke from entering our city limits!”

The announcement came as a surprise to many, with some questioning the mayor’s authority to control the direction of the wind and the behavior of wildfires in a neighboring country. Nevertheless, Mayor Adams remained resolute in his determination to create a smoke-free oasis within the bustling metropolis.

The ban will be enforced by a crack team of air quality inspectors stationed at various entry points into the city. Equipped with giant fans and oversized fly swatters, these vigilant officers will stand guard, ready to intercept any rogue plumes of Canadian wildfire smoke attempting to infiltrate New York City.

As for the last 18 months, all I can say is,

What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been.

Too many losses.

It’s official.  I’m jealous of SuperDave.  That beach looks delicious.

Me too.

I’ve been trying to get back to the coast for at least three years.

Sneaked into Arkansas and quickly returned.

And then I remember the story that broke a day or so past, of a guy getting eaten by a shark in front of his father, girlfriend, and the whole beach.  This was in Egypt, the guy was Russian. There’s gotta be a political motive in there somewhere….

Well PC Beach June 2023 is now history. Wife headed out about 5 PM and I’ll load up and head home in the morning. After we loaded up the Tahoe my wife took a selfie of us by the gate to the beach.

A few days ago we had an article stating that the Canadian Province of Alberta would like to join the US as the 51st state.  Socialist Ontario and the other eastern provinces now have little in common with the western provinces that are much more like our mid-west and western states.  Maybe we could trade our socialist NE States for… Read more »

It’s a beautiful evening here in Texarkana. We’ve done a little exploring, seeking sustenance for an early lunch. The parts of the city we have seen are really nice. Reminds me of Kansas City….so clean.

Ate Mexican, had the finest Margarita I’ve ever had.

Came back to the Hampton Inn and crashed for 5 hours.

I’ve tried to explain it, several times.  I think he won’t get what “freeze dried” means until he sees it.

Tedtam – tell him it’s simple… super froze then suddenly warmed – the water turns from a solid to a gas thru “sublimation” – I think RoseRed Homestead even has a video explaining it   😉

Bsue – did you see R.A.40’s video on using the system test selections to vacuum seal multiple jars?  You can “test” the vacuum system by itself with jars in the chamber.  He got a heckuva seal on 9 jars at one time.

Just a friendly reminder of how smart the Texas Cornhole really is.

Childers goes on about the Biden illegalities: In a statement following the leak, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said it’s not just the Burisma thing, and not just Ukraine, either. Joe shook down other Eastern European countries. Comer said: This is a very serious accusation. This accusation fits a pattern that we uncovered especially in Romania, where then vice-president… Read more »

Tedtam – VERY important information about using the freeze dryer for anything greasy (like our pre-cooked, washed, and frozen breakfast sausages…) Make sure and line your trays with parchment paper (cut to size to line the bottom) AND place another the same size over the meats… Don’t ask me how I learned this lesson – just take my word for… Read more »

Arrived at 10:15. Took a long break in Garrison, or we’d have been here at exactly 10 am.

6 hours total travel time.

Marshall is a nice looking town, where it starts getting hilly.

We’re going to Angelfire, NM. I’ll meet them in Denton and we’ll drive from there.

Bsue, we were discussing placement this morning over breakfast. The noise was definitely part of that conversation. I copied your info and sent it to Hubby.

Tedtam – when you consider where to locate “anonymous” freeze dryer, remember that it is not as silent as “Fred”… Not loud but definitely NOT silent… When the pump turns on to pull the vacuum, it’s prolly the loudest – and sounds kinda like a little vacuum cleaner… And it needs a lot of ventilation – we have a fan… Read more »

It feels so weird, not having the constant “bookkeeping warning” in my head.  Yeah, I still have stuff to do, but it shouldn’t have that “urgent” feel to it.  Hubby said he has a wad of receipts for me to enter.  He waits until he has a big bunch of them for me; maybe now I have the time to… Read more »
