Re: OC photo
Fay grew up wearing dresses made from chicken feed-sacks, too.
Make Do: Feed-Sack Fashion in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
Women in poor rural areas of the United States made clothing from cotton commodity textile bags out of necessity. The practice was especially prevalent during the extreme hardships of the Great Depression (1929–1933) and during other materials shortages brought on by World War II.
In 1943, the War Production Board began reserving cotton fabric for military and industrial use exclusively. Consequently, dressmaking material became scarce. Commodity bags, however, fell into the industrial-use category, and they could be reused. Textile-bag manufacturers and trade organizations took the opportunity to begin a nationwide advertising campaign: “A yard of material saved is a yard gained for victory.” Many women were inspired to create patriotic-themed quilts from sacks to raise money for the war effort.
Farm women regularly swapped feed-sack fabric at “Sack and Snack clubs.” Various news outlets—including Time, Reader’s Digest, Business Week, and The American Magazine—also highlighted the use of commodity bags for clothing during the 1940s. Consequently, sales of cotton bags reached their peak during the war years.
Women continued to rely on feed-sack fabric throughout the United States’ involvement in World War II. The trend for sacking-cloth items continued even after the end of the war, as did the shortage of cotton. According to Connolly, Senate hearings in March 1946 investigating the continued shortage of low-priced cotton apparel found it was apparently because “all the available cotton goods were going into feed sacks, not dresses.” Flour and feed manufacturers stimulated consumer demand by becoming fabric designers, hiring consultants and designers and maintaining research departments to keep up with the competition and trends. Major retailers, such as Macy’s and Sears, even carried items made from sack cloth into the late-1940s, giving “city folk” access to the items made popular by poor rural housewives.

We still have several feed-sack dish towels from her mother’s kitchen.

That front blew through here about 2-4 AM, just about gone now but only .74″ on rain. As fast as it was moving, I didn’t expect a lot of rain but we’ll take what we can get.

My sister wore feed sack dresses and mom used them for dish towels. At Byrds Seed N Feed, my sister would pick out the pattern she wanted and invariably it was on the bottom of the stack. That would aggravate Tommy, who had to dig it out and load it. FWIW; Those were 100 Lb sacks.

I’m gonna have a bumper crop of dewberries underneath one of my cattle guards.

This popped up yesterday; Throw Back Thursday! Can you date this picture? That would be ole Dave loading a 9 Track Tape on a Kennedy Tape Drive. I would have been processing data from a Load Test @ the Structures Lab @ NASA, JSC.

#5 – Dewberries? *PERK*
I hear those make a really tasty margarita! 😉

My blood sugar is high again this morning. I think all of these late nights I’ve been working are the problem. Once I get past this hump, I can get more sleep.
Strangely enough, my ketones are higher today then yesterday. Usually, when one goes up, the other goes down. Since both are higher today, I’m thinking there’s another factor involved that’s screwing with my metabolism, and my sleep patterns are probably the culprit.
Can’t wait to get caught up…

When Gringo Pendejo was running for Senate, I grabbed one of his black and white campaign signs, got some white duck tape, and in black marker gave him the title “The Pale Pretender”.
Stuck it in my yard. I think it got on my neighbor’s nerves, since she was a supporter. Sweet, sweet lady, but I never talk politics with her. She’s not of the temperament to handle any kind of intimidating conversation Now, her husband and I can talk politics all day long and have a good time. I just have to live with the fact her votes cancels mine in every election. If she votes. I’m not sure that she does, but she does put yard signs up.

I have some dewberry vines blooming in/around my yard. I’m hoping I can harvest some before the critters get ’em.

From last night;
Well, I finally got put in Facebook Jail.
That happened to me a few days ago, first time ever. Wanna’ know what I said?
I was commenting on a friend’s page about Jury Duty, he didn’t get picked so I said “I always say I’m in the NRA OR Kill Em All Let God Sort Them Out”. Somehow that offended them but it was a JOKE! Between friends. Pitiful, jus pitiful. -
Coffee & Covid ☙ Thursday, March 31, 2022 ☙ PFIZER’S ALOPECIA DRUG
Happy Thursday, C&C! Today we have a neat roundup including: Pfizer’s huge win at the Academy Awards; Florida’s anti-grooming bill blows up leftists; Bruce Willis retires from acting; Fauci tells the BBC about lockdown costs; J6 committee feels contemptuous; California tables a mandate bill; and Gov. DeSantis calls for another special session.
****************
*THE C&C ARMY POST*A quick update: I have been trying to get intel on how the Mit mask mailer turned out, but I lack contacts in Utah and it’s been slow going. I’ll find out.
On Tuesday, Media Matters, an extreme leftwing marxist “fact checking” site, published a hit piece on County Citizens Defending Freedom. CCDF is a new post-pandemic non-partisan group prioritizing parents’ rights, fair elections, and individual freedom issues. I’ve been helping CCDF for almost a year now. I liked what CCDF was doing because to me, a county-level approach is the most effective way to Save America. The county-by-county electoral map clearly shows that the vast majority of counties in the U.S. are conservative. The real opportunity to create change lives at the local level.
[county by county electoral map, mostly red]
Anyway, Media Matters has its leather panties all in a twist because CCDF is being effective at removing pornographic material from school libraries in Polk County, Florida. It’s the worst thing EVER, according to the fact-checkers. They put a lot of work into their hit piece, and I don’t know what you think, but to me it reads like a nice promo ad for the new activist group.
/snip
********************************************
*COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY*Pfizer is giddily popping Champagne over its HUGE win at the Academy Awards this week. Check out this crazy timeline:
• Between December 2020 and December 2021: VAERS receives over 3,000 reports of vaccine-induced alopecia after first or second dose of Pfizer Covid vaccine.
• February 2021: Arena Pharmaceuticals begins third round clinical trials for its new drug, Etrasimod, which treats alopecia.
• December 2021: Pfizer buys Arena Pharmaceuticals for $7 billion. (Arena’s website is gone now, swallowed up by Pfizer; use the Wayback Machine if you go looking.)
• March 23, 2022: Pfizer issues a press release announcing “Positive Top-Line Results for Phase 3 Trial of Etrasimod” (now called Ritlecitinib).
• March 27, 2022: The Academy Awards begin, sponsored by Pfizer.
… Chris Rock makes a joke about Jada Smith’s alopecia at the Academy Awards.
… Will Smith sissy-slaps Chris Rock on live TV and acts very put out, and says some non-family-friendly stuff, but gets the award anyway. And gets to keep it. And doesn’t have to take anger management.
… For the next few weeks, corporate media becomes fascinated with alopecia, how it hurts women, and why Jada Smith was so understandably upset about the joke. If only there were a safe and effective treatment! And, everybody’s talking about the Oscars. Bonus.
I’m not saying Chris and Will faked the slap. Who knows? But it sure was a great night for sponsor Pfizer, a real marketing coup. My gosh, Pfizer is on a roll — it was so lucky that Chris Rock told THAT exact joke, and THAT exact joke made Will Smith mad enough to act out so totally uncharacteristically and coincidentally promoted Pfizer’s new $7B medication that treats a painfully obvious side-effect of its Covid drug. I mean, what are the odds!
****************************
The story about Florida’s new Parent’s Rights law is blowing up. First, Governor DeSantis signed the bill into law on Monday, causing sexual freedom groups to start ripping their hair out in clumps and making corporate media lose its hive-like mind. Then yesterday, Joe Biden told Education Secretary Xavier Gonzalez to investigate Florida’s new law to see if it violates gay people’s federal civil rights. Democrat governor Gavin Newsom took a break from figuring out new ways to torture Californians to tweet an unintentionally hilarious picture of himself reading “banned books,” including in a staged stack of books some that have been banned in California, like To Kill a Mockingbird. Haha.
[insert image of man reading “Beloved,” and caption “Reading some banned books to figure out what these states are afraid of” ]
In an MSNBC interview, a gay Florida teacher interviewed said he’s feeling all short of breath because he’s TERRIFIED of the new bill since he won’t be allowed to chat with his young students about his gay love life anymore: “It scares me that I am not going to be able to have these conversations with my children…”. Maybe he calls them HIS children since, given his lifestyle, it’s not likely he’ll have any of his own. Variety reported that, supposedly to protest the Florida law, Pixar’s animators leapt to ink a lesbian kiss into the studio’s upcoming Toy Story sequel, “Lightyear.” Take that, Florida.
For its part, the Disney corporation snatched up the rainbow flag to become the unheroic face of opposition to the newly-passed law. On Tuesday, the entertainment giant announced its new “corporate goal” is to repeal the law or get it overturned, and has suspended its river of campaign donations to republicans in the state. Which in turn caused Florida’s republican voters to throw parties and send each other celebratory gifts.
Wait … should we send Disney thank-you cards for stopping campaign donations to Florida republicans? Let me know what you think in the comments.
First-term Florida House representative Joe Harding, who sponsored the bill, and who Coffee & Covid multiplied with campaign donations recently, announced yesterday he is sending back $3,126 in Disney political donations. “Disney is no longer the company Walt Disney founded,” Harding explained in news reports. “If Disney is now the enemy of parents, then Disney is now my enemy.”
********************
Bruce Willis’ family announced yesterday the beloved 67-year-old actor is “stepping away” from acting. He’s been diagnosed with aphasia, a condition arising from brain injuries like strokes and blood clots that, among other things, affects the ability to communicate and other cognitive abilities, to the point Willis can’t make his own announcement, apparently.
Aphasia is one of the adverse effects on Pfizer’s list of conditions of special interest, and some published studies have reported aphasia developing after the second injection. On the other hand, the LA Times ran a quick story alleging that Bruce has been in decline for years, with anecdotal quotes from people who claim he couldn’t remember his lines, etc. But he was still working, a lot. And it is not at all clear that the more significant issues began prior to 2021. I report, you decide.
************************
In bad news for jab lovers, a bill working through California’s legislature, AB1993, which would have required private businesses in California to mandate Covid vaccination, has been mercifully tabled. The bill, opposed by California’s public unions, is no longer needed because of the receding pandemic, according to state assemblywoman Buffy Wicks. So.
***********************
In an interview with the BBC yesterday, fallen star and monkey torturer Tony Fauci was asked about whether the lockdowns were worth it. He said “I don’t think we’re ever going to be able to determine” whether the “unintended negative consequences” outweighed the benefits in reducing hospitalizations and deaths.
Who wants to tell him? We already know, Tony. The lockdowns weren’t worth it.
********************
The House January 6th Committee recommended contempt charges against Trump advisors Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino, who both invoked executive privilege against testifying before the committee. The loopy committee members, hastily assembled from the majority party’s bottom tier, believe that the riot at the Capitol on January 6th was an insurrection ten times worse than the Civil War, and hope to reverse the political outcome of that calamitous conflict which created the Republican Party.
**************
After vetoing the legislature’s redistricting map, Governor DeSantis yesterday announced that he is calling a special session to re-address redistricting, and he asked the legislature to also consider a “constitutional carry” law allowing law-abiding Florida citizens to carry concealed firearms without a permit. A data privacy law was another priority he said he’d like to see addressed. So.

One of only two comments I’ve made in these parts got removed for using that word. The other was many years ago when I first came across some story about enemas being, uh, a thing in some groups. I had no idea (Hey, I grew up in Lubbock and Hereford, Tx), so I linked the link. Anyhow, the link was deemed unfit for the appropriatness of all y’all and removed.

It is a beautiful day, the rain came and went and it’s bright and sunny. I need to get out a pick up some limbs. I noticed a couple of good sized limbs sheared off the big cedar and a dead pine fell across the Whispering Pines Trail. I’m betting there will be few pecan limbs down at the farm house since they are the wimpiest trees on the place. Oh and I have a new chain on my trusty Stihl so I may go tackle the dam at the big pond again. I’m making good headway down there.

So Pfizer is banking millions treating side effects of the drug they make billions off of. Just as the need for the jab is fizzling out. How fortunate for them.

Very good article at AMGreatness. Be sure to read to the end.
Even many Western-oriented Lebanese seemed to share similar feelings, albeit with an added layer of disappointment. George, a supporter of the steadfast pro-American and Christian right-wing Lebanese Forces party, drew similarities between Kurdish Erbil, Ukraine, and Afghanistan, to claim that, in one year, the United States demonstrated to the world that it was unwilling and incapable of supporting its allies abroad, cowering when faced with a determined opponent.
I overheard the same sentiment echoed at the Istanbul airport, where people gathered around a TV screen to listen to the latest news on war-torn Ukraine. On that day, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had asked Turkey’s Erdogan to close down the straights of the Bosporus and the Dardanelles to Russian ships. In broken English, and with a visibly distressed tone, a young Turkish man responded to Zelenskyy’s on-screen mugshot: “and what if we go to war with Russia over this? Will the Americans help us the way they helped you?”

The media weasels are out whining about investigative reporter John Solomon because he did an interview with Donald Trump. There are a bunch of smear pieces on Solomon now because I think they’re all secretly jealous of him.
Anyway, I thought it was very interesting Solomon used the tactic of taking along a very attractive female reporter to interview a famous ladies’ man. It’s a sly way of softening up the subject and getting him to be more candid.
All that aside, Amanda Head is very bright, articulate, a former Miss Auburn University and a singer. She decided to change careers and pursue journalism from her current home in LA. She has maintained a website, The Hollywood Conservative, and this is a very interesting story about how evil and corrupt Kamala Harris has always been. I read about this story before Harris was nominated, but had forgotten about it.

Sitting in Methodist West (Katy) parking lot. I have an appointment to have the following screenings. My physician suggested it after hearing about Texpat’s little cardiac episode.
$204……cheap enough.Calcium Score –
Using a CT scanner, this tests for calcium buildup of plaque on the walls of the arteries. It is used to detect coronary artery disease and, if present, can determine the severity.Carotid Artery Screening –
Blood vessels are checked for blockages using ultrasound.Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening –
Using ultrasound, this test focuses on the abdominal aorta and checks for thinning or ballooning, either of which could suggest a potential rupture.Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening – Blood pressure cuffs are placed on the ankles to evaluate blood flow in the legs.

I’m sure I had all those tests in the hospital. I remember clearly at least three of them. The results were apparently pretty good. They didn’t mention any outstanding problems from the testing. My cardiologist says I have a good system now that I got rid of the two blockages, most likely caused by too many years of smoking.

#29 Squawk: They sure don’t act like they want peace do they? No 2 state solution will ever satisfy them. I think that Israel should proceed as according to the original instructions.
NUMBERS 33:50-56
50On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses, 51“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52you must drive out before you all the inhabitants of the land, destroy all their carved images and cast idols, and demolish all their high places.53You are to take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. 54And you are to divide the land by lot according to your clans. Give a larger inheritance to a larger clan and a smaller inheritance to a smaller one. Whatever falls to each one by lot will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to the tribes of your fathers.
55But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you settle. 56And then I will do to you what I had planned to do to them.”

Ya nailed it brother. Ezekiel 36-37 addresses God bringing the Jew back to Israel (in unbelief). I am waiting for the mass exodus from the US to Israel. It is right around the corner. The Jews in Europe are leaving in droves and France is almost o population of Jews there. Amazing times we live in.

Interfax-Ukraine is a news wire service like the Associated Press here.
This was published on October 9, 2019 and I am saving it for the day Joe Biden is forced to resign. I don’t know who they will use to replace Kamala. Some possibilities are nightmarish. Seriously, what if they put Hillary into the VP spot and then force Biden out ?
KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.
Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, “describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr.” at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine’s press center in Kyiv on Wednesday.
“This was the transfer of Burisma Group’s funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services,” Derkach said.
He also publicized sums that were transferred to Burisma Group representatives, in particular Hunter Biden, a son of the former U.S. vice president.

Bongino Report headline, gotta luv it:
CNN’s New Streaming Service Plans Layoffs as Network Learns No Sane Individual Would Pay to Watch CNNCNN’s attempt to enter the streaming scene has not gone according to plan, with some warning that low subscriptions could lead to layoffs.
He noted that while the technical rollout of the service went off largely without a hitch, “the problem is the subscriptions.”
“And one of the big issues is that no one knows exactly how many people have signed up to this despite spending millions of dollars on advertising,” said Gasparino.
“They’re bracing for lay-offs,” he said. “If those subscriptions don’t pick up, they’re gonna probably gonna merge in May with Discovery+.”
Discovery recently bought CNN, and with their own crews already established, Gasparino forecasted that a merger of the two streaming services would lead to layoffs for CNN employees.

Good morning, afternoon, and early evening. Several miles on the car and several hours of butt time at the doctors building in Marble Falls, but for what it’s worth, there is the peace of mind hearing it from the horses’ mouths that fundamentally everything is still OK. I’ve put on a few pounds during the hibernation season of winter, and my cholesterol is up from a year ago, but doc said to keep up with the keto diet and perhaps cut back a little on the fat. That’s fine with me, and there are several points around my diet where I can cut back a little – fry my eggs in a quarter stick of butter instead of half a stick for example. Anyway, keep an eye on this weight, get more exercise with spring coming on, don’t climb up on top of the roof unless someone else is holding the ladder, etc.
I will say that masks were required, so when I waltzed in with no mask, they handed me one right away.
The anticipated bluebonnet festival did not happen. While there are several bluebonnet patches, they are thin and not well developed yet. Don’t know if it is still a little early of if this is just a down year for them – probably both. Fortunately, the trip overall was uneventful, both going and coming. Now I’ve got to get my act together and get ready for tomorrow’s trip to Big D. Unlike my normal trips up there, I only need to take provisions for 2 nights, not for the entire week. So that should be easy, but I’ll forget something if I don’t use the list.
OK, you all have a good evening now. More later as it develops.

Fifty Six?!! I guess everyone has been out enjoying the weather. I’ve been clearing up the trails after the bad weather. Actually they needed some spring cleaning but the 20+ MPH winds brought down a lot of marginal trees so that’s a good thing. I had several good sized trees fall, mostly dead but one pine had previous lightening damage and even though it looked healthy it broke off about 15′ up, 2/3 of the trunk was dead. My wife worked on clearing the yards so I can mow in the morning. I don’t need to mow my grass but I do need to whack down my weeds.
