Dang, it’s early. Morning gang.
-
It is darned pleasant outside, gentle north breeze, low humidity, and in the mid 70s. Very pleasant indeed.
-
It looks like the storm is heading to Steinhatchee FL, just north of Cedar Key. We got .14″ of rain late yesterday but won’t get any more from the storm.
Mornin’ Bones, Gang

Meanwhile back at the ranch GJT is labeling his tools. 😀

Still headed for 100°, but 70° is pretty nice out there right now.

We’re supposed to have a high of 85 today! I’ll believe it when I see it. 😉

Meanwhile down in Chancellor, Randy Snell’s Moonshine Still has been busted up by ALEA officers. 😀
GENEVA COUNTY, Ala. (WDHN) — For many, the term “moonshine” refers to homemade liqueur and alcohol that dates back to the days of prohibition around 100 years ago.
But on Sunday, Geneva County Sheriff Deputies and Alabama Law Enforcement Agents located an operational still in a heavily wooded area of the Chancellor Community.
44-year-old Randy Snell of Chancellor was charged with possession of a moonshine still and untaxed alcohol.
In addition, three other suspects reportedly at the site of the still face unrelated charges, Dwain Tate and Destiny Davis face various drug charges. Karla Forrester is a fugitive from Washington County, Florida.
“And like I say it’s not so much about the profit but just done to say they can do it. There are still people who are making moonshine,” says Sheriff Tony Helms.
Sheriff Helms says moonshine stills were more common when Geneva County was dry, but every once in a while his deputies will get information on just such an operation taking place.
The sheriff thanks the Chancellor community for supplying critical information concerning the still.

It looks like the storm made landfall near Fish Creek, pretty much half way between Alligator Point and Cedar Key. Luckily this is the least inhabited part of all the Florida coasts.

#7 SD: The guy had a thumper set up. 16 gallon keg, so max charge should be no more than 13-14 gallons because you need the head space. A real good run with that set up would be 2 to 2-1/2 gallons of 100 proof. 14 gallons plus the weight of the keg is more than I want to be wrestling with by hand. I can do it, it just puts a lot of stress on the back joints, therefore it is not wise for me to do it.
-
The sheriff going after the guy making shine is a waste of resources; he is not hurting anybody (providing he refines out the methanol and acetone as any competent distiller would do) and the cost to bust and prosecute him dwarfs any tax revenue that may possibly be collected with the tiny output from his still.
-
#10 Bones, that was my first thought, I didn’t know the output of the still but I knew it couldn’t be much. Oh and this is key; The sheriff thanks the Chancellor community for supplying critical information concerning the still. Some Karen turned him in. BTW; There’s pretty much zero Moonshining going on around here the big thing is Meth Labs. If you hear of a trailer fire/explosion in the stix you know a meth lab went up. Interestingly they had a report of a storage shed explosion in a residential area of Dothan this morning and I wondered if it might have been meth lab. Apparently they didn’t know the cause and said it was under investigation.

A sad day’: Nordstrom officially closes SF flagship store, shoppers say goodbye.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — San Francisco’s flagship Nordstrom store is officially closed. Sunday marked the store’s final day in business after 35 years downtown.
Nordstrom opened at the corner of 5th and Market Streets back in October 1988. The store spanned an impressive 312,000 square feet, occupying five floors of the San Francisco Centre mall.
“It’s a sad day. It’s a wonderful store. It’s been an anchor in San Francisco,” said Julie from San Francisco.
Julie was one of the first shoppers riding the signature spiral escalator Sunday for Nordstrom’s last day of business at the San Francisco Centre.
Leslie Simmons and her daughter hadn’t heard the news.
“I didn’t realize today was the last day. I’m glad we’re here unexpectedly to walk around one last time,” Simmons said.
The once vibrant store is now desolate with plenty of empty displays.
“It’s kind of depressing, being a native of San Francisco, just seeing how downtown is kind of going away,” said Denise Alexander from Oakland.
Nordstrom announced in May it was closing the store due to declining sales. Employees say they were not surprised.
“It’s definitely partially due to the crime in the area. COVID-19 had a big impact,” said a Nordstrom employee.
This flagship store opened in 1988 and back then it was a big deal.
ABC7 News was there for Nordstrom’s grand opening when 60,000 shoppers showed up on day one.
Alexander remembers it well.
“Coming up the escalator, being excited about it,” Alexander said.
On Sunday, there was a large police presence on Market Street. The future of the San Francisco Centre mall is unknown.

The way things are going there, they will probably turn the mall into a
drug flophousehomeless shelter. -
I went out to water (what’s left of) my garden this morning, and as I had hose in hand I had to pause. Two cardinals were availing themselves of the water dish I put out for them. They must’ve been desperate, because they didn’t fly off when they saw me, but took several more minutes to hydrate themselves. I dumped the old water and refilled it with fresh, to the brim.
As I was talking to Eldest Sis yesterday about Green Cousin, I noticed a very scrawny looking squirrel “sky hopping” through my yard. It wouldn’t walk through the dead grass, but made a series of high hops across the yard until it reached the water chair, where it also sated its thirst before climbing my nearby pine tree to begin eating what few nuts are still hanging. I wonder if that was a quirk of that particular critter, or if the dead grass is uncomfortable to walk through.
The blue jays should be arriving soon.

Hubby and I had our morning confab, discussing tenant issues and upstairs progress. I said I wanted to take my Beloved East Texas Aunt and Green Cousin’s best friend to a meal this weekend. BETA and the friend are coming in Friday to see GC at the hospital. GC was hoping to be out by Friday…but no, I don’t think so. I was surprised that BETA wasn’t with GC, as BETA usually stays in the hospital room with GC, but there wasn’t space for her this time around.
BETA is freaking out. I think – and I’m afraid she’s right – that this is the beginning of the end for Green Cousin. She really, really, really didn’t look well last night. Please keep them all in your prayers.

I was listening to Chris Salcedo’s radio show on 700 AM this morning. He played a 2 minute clip of a Gold Star dead ripping Biden a new one in Congressional testimony. He was the father of one of the 13 killed in the embarrassment in Afghanistan.
My heart broke for the man. They had to bleep out a few of his words, he was so het up. I’m hoping that his words get used in a campaign commercial. Biden deserves it.

I have never wanted to throw an F-bomb at a Pope before, but there’s always a first time for everything.
“You have seen that in the United States the situation is not easy: There is a very strong reactionary attitude,” the pope reportedly said. “It is organized and shapes the way people belong, even emotionally.”
The pope described a “climate of closure” in the United States, and that in such an environment “one can lose the true tradition and turn to ideologies for support” and that this leads to a factional view of the church.
“In other words, ideology replaces faith, membership in a sector of the Church replaces membership in the Church,” he said.
The pope said that the error of the U.S. Catholic Church is that they view “the doctrine of the church as a monolith” and that “When you go backward, you make something closed off, disconnected from the roots of the church.”
“I want to remind these people that backwardness is useless, and they must understand that there’s a correct evolution in the understanding of questions of faith and morals,” the pope said.
The Catholic bishops in the United States have faced criticism over the 10 years of Pope Francis’s pontificate for not wholeheartedly embracing the pope’s more liberal approach to leading the Catholic Church than the more conservative popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II.
Pachapapa is the one with the political ideology, not faithful Catholics. This Marxist/Freemason Jesuit (and we traditional Catholics laugh at today’s Jesuits, St. Ignatius is spinning in his grave) wants to change the Church into his (pachapapa’s) image.
The “evolution in the understanding of questions of faith and morals” is utter bullwiss. We have the original Deposit of Faith, handed down from Jesus to the Apostles and down the apostolic line. PP thinks he is more important than that? We have 2,000 years of theological study of the Scriptures, yet PP wants to rewrite “the truth”?!
I’m gonna say it – he is Satan’s hand puppet. He is trying to destroy the Church. I’m not saying he’s not Pope since I don’t have the authority to do that, though through his heresy he has abdicated the position, according to St. Robert Bellarmine (and others). I will say that he is the worst Pope we’ve ever had. We’ve had corrupt Popes. We’ve had Popes that bordered but never crossed – heresy. This guy has not only crossed the line, he’s jumped back and forth over it while saying “nananananana” to the faithful. He has insulted those of the faith while butt-kissing those of other faiths, some of whom would like to see us dead.
Remember the joke about who the worst president was/is? First, it was Jimmy Carter who was relieved to have that title taken by Obama. Then Joe showed up and said “hold my beer”.
Yeah, that kind of Pope. /spits/spits/spits/
Gonna rattle those beads hard today!

On a happier note, we have a supermoon coming!
For stargazers:
The cosmic curtain rises Wednesday night with the second full moon of the month, the reason it’s considered blue. It’s dubbed a supermoon because it’s closer to Earth than usual, appearing especially big and bright.
This will be the closest full moon of the year, just 222,043 miles (357,344 kilometers) or so away. That’s more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) closer than the Aug. 1 supermoon.
As a bonus, Saturn will be visible as a bright point 5 degrees to the upper right of the moon at sunset in the east-southeastern sky, according to NASA. The ringed planet will appear to circle clockwise around the moon as the night wears on.

Nice video, Squawk. I was awake at 2 this morning and watched it the first time.

There was a car-b-q on 290 right past the EYE-10 split. Actually it was a pickup that was totally engulfed in flames. They shut the entire inbound side of the freeway while they were watering the carnage. It made me late to work, but I have video proof as to why I was late.

Day two in Tomball Hospital, I’ve been dealing with inflammation in my bowels for a couple weeks now and it’s been miserable. Couldn’t get my GI to understand, colonoscopy looked great, very frustrating. Anyway, though the stool sample results aren’t in yet they’ve decided it was a ulcerative colitis flare-up, have ruled out C-diff (whatever the hell that is except I was treated as a biohazard yesterday). All autoimmune stuff to go along with my RA. They started me on steroids and antibiotics yesterday, last night was first good night sleep in two weeks. Thank God, I feel so much better.

If you want a nice laugh this morning, you should read Chris Bray over at Substack.
I have become convinced over the decades of my life there is some kind of massive racket going on in legal bar exams. Either personally meeting or reading about people with law licenses who can barely put together a paragraph in the English language is a high indicator something ain’t right.
This is the way it is reported from The Hill, a mainstream political news & opinion site focusing on DC politicians:
A Florida lawyer is challenging former President Trump’s ability to run for president in 2024 under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, citing the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
Lawrence Caplan, a tax attorney in Palm Beach County, filed the challenge in federal court Thursday, pointing to a clause in the amendment that says those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the government cannot hold office.
This is also a headline story in Yahoo, MSN, Daily Beast, Chicago Tribune, ad infinitum.
They report this lawsuit filed in Florida with a straight face. I thought surely these reporters were lazy or against deadline and worked from a press release, but no, Ella Lee at The Hill clearly downloaded the suit from a legal database and read it, or tried to. They actually read the full text of this suit and reported it as if it were written by Thomas Jefferson or Abe Lincoln.
Here is how Chris Bray, historian, author and Federalist contributor reviewed the filing by lawyer Caplan.
It’s a middle school essay, seven pages long, with no footnotes, no exhibits, glaring factual errors, and a bunch of dumb typos.
Imagine how impressed a district court judge will be to learn that Sectio n 3 doesn’t implicate any questions of :liberty” or “ right.”
This person has been a lawyer for 39 years. Presumably he types by slamming his forehead into a keyboard.
The brief mentions the recent academic paper that argues Trump is disqualified, but doesn’t cite the thing or provide it. It mentions and paraphrases the disqualification clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, but does not quote it. It makes claims like this…
Caplan goes on to mention and paraphrase the famous Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, but calls him “Laurene” instead. Maybe Tribe has decided to transition to female at the ripe age of 81.
The whole thing is damned funny.

Dang GJT, I hope you get better soon. Prayers.

Good Morning Hamsters,
Back in the saddle at last. Have been hospitalized twice owing to atrial fibulation (A -Fib) correction. Got home from the second correction yesterday. First attempt late last week held only about a day and a half before it went bonkers again. Yesterday there was a repeat correction that so far is good. Meaning I can’t feel the heartbeat other than specifically looking for it. A-Fib can be thought of as feeling like you have a herd of horses galloping in your chest that won’t stop unless made to stop the heart and restart it with the correct beat. Ratter interestingly, the cardiologists thought that comparing the feeling to the galloping horses was a very good description.
Anyhow wanted to let y’all know where I’ve been and looking forward to having the second correction fixed to hold this time.
Planning to pop in later today for catching up.
Hugs to my Hamsters.

I stumbled across something pretty neat; John Wayne’s 138′ The Wild Goose anchored in the Pacific Northwest. A converted wooden hull Naval Minesweeper. 😉

Adee you too? Hoping you’re all fixed up now. Prayers on the way.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think we’re all getting old. 😉

24 cont’d.
This is the Florida Bar member profile for this attorney, Lawrence Caplan of Boynton Beach. He has been a lawyer for 39 years.
No wonder our legal system is so screwed up. I will repeat what Chris Bray wrote..
…Presumably he types by slamming his forehead into a keyboard.
-
Adee,
I can empathize. I was hospitalized several times before finally having the cardiac ablation which ultimately corrected the Afib problem.
In my case, the galloping horses were accompanied by an elephant sitting in repose on my chest.
I don’t miss it.
-
If I didn’t know better, I’d think we’re all getting old.
I had a granddaughter remind me of that. Dangit, my mind doesn’t feel old, and it’s frustrating that my body can’t keep up like it used to.

Off to the dentist to get my dental referral, then I’m coming back home to treadmill. I’ll take them in to the dental college this afternoon.
For all of you who were worried about the ramp: (1) concrete texture was sprayed on before painting, and (2) a handrail has been installed.
-
GJT and Adee: Kneemail up.
-
Well, it looks like GJT and Adee are on the injured reserve list for a few days.
I know the feeling.
Anyway, for your edification from the Mayo Clinic.
Clostridioides difficile (klos-TRID-e-oi-deez dif-uh-SEEL) is a bacterium that causes an infection of the large intestine (colon). Symptoms can range from diarrhea to life-threatening damage to the colon. The bacterium is often referred to as C. difficile or C. diff.
Illness from C. difficile typically occurs after use of antibiotic medications. It most commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long-term care facilities. In the United States, about 200,000 people are infected annually with C. difficile in a hospital or care setting. These numbers are lower than in previous years because of improved prevention measures.
People not in care settings or hospitals also can develop C. difficile infection. Some strains of the bacterium in the general population may cause serious infections or are more likely to affect younger people. In the United States, about 170,000 infections occur annually outside of health care settings, and these numbers are increasing.
The bacterium was formerly named Clostridium (klos-TRID-e-um) difficile.

I was reading yesterday how women and men have different symptoms for heart attacks. Women supposedly have shortness of breath and men have chest pain.
Although, my mother had intense chest and neck pain for her heart attack and my recent atral fib episode was characterized by severe shortness of breath, plunging blood pressure without pain.
When I had the myocardial infarction on December 24, 2021, it felt like I had put on a 90 lb backpack and couldn’t take it off. I would describe it as intense pressure rather than typical pain.
Everybody is different and it pays to figure out your own body and its idiosyncrasies.
-
If I didn’t know better, I’d think we’re all getting old.
I doubt old people need contraception but if they do,,, The best contraceptive for old people is nudity.
Old Age: When you don’t recognize either the host or the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Old Age: When you wink at a girl and she says, “Something wrong with your eyes?”
You know you’re getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you’re down there.
You know you’re getting old when you start watching golf on TV and enjoying it. (UH OH)

Yep that’s it, Texpat. Poor nurses and staff had to wear suits to come in here. I told friends and family to just stay away. Of course, my wife wouldn’t listen. I’m clear now though, all good.

C.diff. is extremely contagious and the nightmare of hospital staff. The hazmat gear is for the staff, not the patient, because all it takes is for one nurse, doctor or aide to make one mistake and the whole hospital, patients and staff, becomes deathly ill with it.

Good morning, everybody, and a Get Well SOON to Adee and Tim. I hope no one else missed out on experiencing the sweet mild breeze this morning.

This is a pretty cool article on ham radio at The Federalist.
Shannon Vore and her friend C.J. Bouchard were out four-wheeling in their Jeep last fall when a passing trucker warned them of what looked like an ATV accident nearby. They said they’d investigate. Deep in the Rocky Mountains of northwest Idaho, there were no towns nearby and no cell phone service.
But both Vore and Bouchard were newly licensed amateur radio operators, also known as “hams.” In amateur radio lingo, the operators are “hams,” and they transmit on “ham radio,” a spectrum of noncommercial radio frequencies. Vore and Bouchard found the accident site and two critically injured teenage girls. After establishing contact with another ham on the national calling frequency, 146.420 MHz, Bouchard handed off the microphone to Vore and began some basic medical treatment. He stopped one of the girls’ bleeding with a tourniquet.
and,
What makes ham radio so uniquely American?
First, it’s an enduring public square. It was the first social media, but it carries on without the bitterness and acrimony on social media platforms now. Part of this is because it’s not anonymous. Operators are required to identify themselves by their call signs every 10 minutes that they are on the air and at the end of every conversation. And part of it is because the FCC has rules against profane language on public frequencies, and the ham community is largely self-policing.
as a practical matter,
Ham radio is also inexpensive and service-oriented. Financially, the barrier to entry is low. Handheld ham radios can be had for as little as $25, though “shack in a box” transceivers can cost thousands of dollars. Hams put their radios, their resources, and their skills to work for their communities. Many hams build “go boxes,” with radios and solar panel systems that let them operate in areas without power or working infrastructure.
“Organizations such as Amateur Radio Emergency Services train members to work with emergency organizations, lending their radio expertise to pair with rescuers, set up communication centers and assist accordingly,” tech journalist Seth Price writes. “Most local, county and state emergency organizations have established working relationships with the amateur radio community.”

Well, I got up late, and even so, it was only because the cats were complaining. Now, they’ve had breakfast, I’ve had breakfast, they are all snoozing, and I’m thinking about an after-breakfast nap like they do every day…

C Diff has a particularly distinctive, noxious smell. The old man I used to care for got it once. I have smelt it in hospitals before. Really disgusting smell.

Spouse has been a Ham since 1955, and for quite some time has held the top-level license. He is 82 now. It is a long-lasting hobby for sure. He has had several times been an intermediary connecting two or three other hams to get help for folks desperately in need of contacting someone. He is one of the examiners for Ham licensure at all levels serving several clubs on the west side of Houston and adjoining western counties.
One of our bedrooms has been his radio shack since we built this house in 1980. It is also his computer room full of electronic stuff in bookcases and that bedroom’s closet. He knows where everything is.
We also have a small library in there that has many books that were college texts, and I have many books that I was the editor for the manuscripts. In many cases something old becomes new again for younger generations, so we keep them.

Mitch the backstabber McConnell froze up again today.
This is elder abuse of Mitch that no one uses a hook to get him to retire and it is abusive of the USA to have an obvious incompetent in such a position of power.
Mitch KNOWS that he has lost it but the narcissistic a-hole just can’t let go of the power.
A POX ON HIS HOUSE!!

RE: Mitch “The Freezer”
If he’s removed, he’ll probably be replaced by a Democrat senator, which could play bigly in the next election cycle. Be careful what you ask for.
RE: Okra
I’m extremely pleased with my okra. The plain okra is in mylar, awaiting future use as an ingredient. The two trays of seasoned okra for snacking are better than I hoped. The closest description I can give is light, fluffy popcorn without a kernel. The seasoning stuck to the pieces, and boy! are they seasoned! I can have okra if I stay within my limits, and being so spicy, I think it won’t take much to satisfy that desire to snack. I think I’m going to experiment with maybe sauteeing lightly in butter next time, or doing lemon pepper seasoning.
So, Elsa is shedding her ice coat and I’m trying to figure out what to do next.
PS: BSue – I was having problems with my trays gaining an ounce or two between measurements. I finally snapped this afternoon and moved one of my trays sideways on the scale. Yep, it affected the measurement. I’m going to put register marks on my trays so that they will sit in exactly the same place, every time.
-
#47 TedTam, were you spying on me/reading my mind??? I was weighing my toys, remembering that I had that same issue in the past, and thinking I should do the same… but I didn’t YET, and I’m not going back in there now because the trays are all frosted over from their trip from the chest freezer in the fabric dungeon to Nat’s place in Mom’s old bedroom… Did you use sharpie or tape to mark yours? I guess that should say ARE you going to use…
-
I think I’m going to use my Sharpie to mark ’em. They seem to be doing well enough on my tray numbers.

Mitch McConnell and the US Senate
This was a July 31, 2023 exchange on NPR about the political environment in Kentucky right now. The interviewee is a reporter for the Lexington, Kentucky newspaper.
NPR: Back in 2021, Kentucky’s Republican-led legislature passed a law ensuring that McConnell’s possible successor would be a Republican. The state’s Democratic governor, Andy Beshear, vetoed the bill, but he was overruled by the legislature. For more, I’m joined now by Austin Horn, who is a politics reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader. Austin, so what is Governor Beshear’s argument against the current law?
AUSTIN HORN: Good morning, A. The argument against, presented in the governor’s old veto message, is based on the U.S. Constitution’s 17th Amendment. It’s kind of one of those amendments we often forget about. And in 1912, it allowed voters to cast direct votes for U.S. senators. And prior to its passage, senators were chosen by legislatures. The governor’s office has been careful to not make a comment on this front in recent days. But it’s kind of the consensus among Kentucky Democrats and those in the capital that Beshear would be inclined to push back either by appointing a Democrat, unlike the law says, or stalling and challenging the law. Or, you know, he could always follow the law, but that’s not expected.
The current wisdom is Governor Beshear would violate the law and appoint a Democratic interim senator to replace Cocaine Mitch. This would lead to legal hysterics and the brawl would end up in the federal courts while the appointee most likely would not be allowed to take the seat leaving Republicans with 49 seat minority position. It would also give Beshear stall time until the November 2023 gubernatorial election where he faces the popular and black Attorney General, Daniel Cameron. They are running neck and neck so this one is going to be a nail-biter.
Reporter Austin Horn also said this to give you an idea of how conservative the state is now.
When he first took his seat in 1984, Kentucky politics was dominated by Democrats. And now, after years with McConnell at the top of the party, the Statehouse is 80-20 Republican, and the federal delegation’s largely Republican, too.
The real problem with this situation is Mitch McConnell’s successor. Which of these lame, useless hacks will succeed him ? Cornyn, Barrasso or Thune ? The thought alone is depressing.

Wednesday is my Allowed Watering Day, starting at 7 pm. There is some worth-watching stuff with the moon tonight, closer to Earth than usual (by 100 miles) so it will look bigger and be brighter. I’ve already noticed that in the evenings this week.

Theodore McCarrick was once a cardinal – one of the highest-ranking positions in the Roman Catholic Church. He was also the archbishop of Washington, D.C. And he’s the only current or former U.S. cardinal to ever face sex abuse charges.
But now a judge in Massachusetts has dismissed a criminal case against McCarrick stemming from the alleged molestation of a 16-year-old boy there in 1974.
Two years ago, McCarrick pleaded not guilty.
The judge’s move comes after examinations of the 93-year-old found that he has dementia.
They covered and stalled for this evil bastard until he can no longer be tried on earth. Wait till he gets to the ultimate Judgment.

I’m a bit hungry tonight so ice cream would be nice. I think we barely made 100 today.
Thanks to my dear Hamster friends for the good wishes. Today has been better than yesterday.

he’s probably trying to remember where he stashed that suitcase with the millions in laundered Zelensky bucks is after he tripped over it a while back, when he got up to go take a leak in the middle of the night and conked his head on the bedpost.
That’s probably what started all of these freeze up moments in the first place.

Elsa is loaded with some slightly over-eggy lemony tinged cheesecake and ice cream sandwiches, in pieces.
Next time, I’ll cut back on the eggs a bit. I was trying to compensate for having only medium sized eggs for a recipe that required larges. And add more lemon. I wanted more lemon.

Glad you’re better GJT.

Go outside and look at that spectacular moon and Saturn now !
-
We have a beautiful red sunset tonight, and yes it is easy now to remember the days are getting shorter. Fall can’t be far behind. I am so happy we did not plant as many flowers in our little gardens this year, as those that were beautiful at the start are now looking rather sad and bedraggled despite being watered three times a week by the sprinkler system at night. Spouse says it is the high temps that are doing it despite the good care they have. And most of them are in shade thanks to all the trees we planted when we moved in here lo these 43 years ago. Those little sticks with some leaves hanging off are now large trees that make our property “wooded” according to the real estate people.
In recent years we have had inquiries from realtors if we had any thoughts of selling our place that is perfectly set up for horses: 8-stall barn of which two stalls are a feed room and a hay stall. The remaining 6 stalls are currently made into 3 double stalls by removing the partitions between them. But since we are several years after losing our last two mares, those stalls just have some things stored in them. We had the barn shell built and finished the inside ourselves 40 some years ago. All the stalls have windows that open into the stalls and awnings over the windows on the outside for as much circulation as possible. Also a garage for a horse trailer at one end and storage space for the tractor on the other side. Unlike many homes with stables, ours is only 50 feet away from the back of the house. Why so close to the house? Even with the windows in the master bedroom closed at the back of the house if there should be a problem in the barn at night we can hear it and investigate quickly. Also you can go to feed the 6 am breakfast in the barn dressed in your robe and shoes, and come back to bed unseen by the neighbors who are some distance away from us.
-
It’s hard to see the moon from my yard. I need to wait a bit to get it above our trees. But from what I can see through the leaves – Wow! It’s beautiful.
-
Love this kid!

The moon is spectacular, but I don’t see Saturn, even though I have pictures of where it is, to the left and higher up. Perhaps the moon is just so bright it outshines the planet.
