    1. I don’t know if I’ve told this story here before:

      Back in the 80s my favorite range in San Antonio had a Hogan’s Alley used by the Sherriff’s office for training. Once a month on a Sunday they would open it up for non-LE members to shoot.

      One of the guys there was a local gunsmith and competition shooter. The “alley” was L shaped and we could not see the first leg targets from the waiting area. We did see him shoot a couple of times and then wave to the targets other times, and the Range Master shaking his head.

      When he hit the second leg, we could see he was shooting the “good guy/hostage” targets and waving at the bad guy targets. When he finished up, his score was the largest number of the day, albeit a negative number.

      When we asked what was up he replied “Ahhh, don’t you see, this being St. Patrick’s Day, I could not be shooting the lads of the IRA!”

    1. By the way, most of those cannons were privately owned. At the end of the war, American artillerymen took their cannons home with them.

      Good thing too, because they needed them again in 1812.

      > Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.

  3. Goodness, Sarah, but you must be feeling very fro–ahem, shall we say, amphibian this weekend. I’d ask what set this off, but I don’t have seven spare hours to read the explanation.

    I recommend a course of cute cat memes for you, to lower the boil.

      1. Yeah the Turnip in Chief read the discussion of how (not ) to treat a puppy by Col. DuBois in Starship Troopers and mistook it for a dog training manual. Seriously though it is unsurprising that a dog in a household with those people hasn’t actually mauled someone yet. German Shepherds are guard animals by nature. Freak them out with uneven or abusive treatment and they turn can turn really nasty.

Honestly A woman that was a babysitter and rides in on the death of the first wife tells me MUCH about both our handsy Turnip in Chief and Edith II . It’s somewhere between a Shakespeare tragedy and a cheesey telenovella.

    1. Let’s just say that I have my doubts that this device can strip a hydrogen atom off of water, ionize it, and accelerate the proton to the point it can be captured by a boron nucleus for less energy than that capture produces.I’m sure they can do it, we’ve been doing it with particle accelerators for decades, but particle accelerators aren’t known for the thrust-to-mass ratio.

  6. I for one am shocked, shocked, to learn that the “Star Wars” show that Harvey Weinstein’s personal assistant, you know, the one who never remembered anything, has been given, which is absolutely not so she continues to keep not remembering, no implication of that or any other wrongdoing at all, from the previews that show is looking like it’s woke DEI crap. Unpredictably astonishing, that.

    1. Oh, please, it’s MUCH more on the nose than just woke DEI crap. It’s making the villains into heroes, complete with an assistant to the villain who’s the REAL hero of the whole thing. No comparison at all at all to the writer who was an assistant to Harvey Weinstein, nope.

      1. I’ve been reading the old Agatha Christies this month, and one book from the 1950s talked about (then) modern plays, how the evil person would literally kill people, steal, what-have-you, then perform a literal miracle at the end, because that’s “all the up-to-date thinking.” (Heavy sarcasm by Christie on those lines, BTW.)

        Here we are again, 1950s post-war Britain.

And they removed the damns along one river to save the salmon, the sediments choked the river and killed all the salmon, now the river is being permanently poisoned by the sediments and toxic minerals the sediments covered up. So instead of saving the Salmon, they destroyed their breeding grounds for several generations. Nothing Liberals do is to save life, only kill it. They are evil scum, but I repeat myself.

    2. We’re deeply into the Pollening, here. I don’t I’ve ever been so wiped by spring fever before. And the second wave is just starting. At least we’ll have dogwoods.

      1. deeply into the Pollening, here.

        Ditto. Haven’t seen much evergreen pollen, too early, I think (that, because so thick, and the invasive evergreen yellow flowering Scotch Broom, locally, is what can get me sneezing, but not stuffy, I do not have allergies or asthma compared to what others go through. We won’t discuss east side bitter brush or sage brush, high elevation manzanita or snow brush, all which make me sneeze and do not have to be blooming.) If evergreen pollen is happening, rain is washing it away.

        Flowering Plum has leafed out and has flowers. All the maples, both native (Big Leaf) and non native (various Japanese smaller versions) are leafing out. Dogwoods (3 pink and one white) have buds but no flowers or leaves, yet. For whatever reason our 4 flower much later than the many of the neighborhood dogwoods. OTOH we tend to have flowers until mid summer or later. Camellias, the pink one flowered late January/early February (even when there was ice coating everything). The white one is flowering now. The red one, who knows. Neighbors and mom’s red camellias are covered with flowers. Early bulbs are flowering. No azaleas or rhododendrons flowering, yet.

        1. History note: tomorrow (March 24 2024) is the 80th anniversary of “The Great Escape” from Stalag Luft III. 

          Like

          1. There’s a scene in “Masters of the Air” when the US POWs in the south camp find out about that escape by the Brits from the north camp the night before, and then they hear about the executions and the Gestapo taking over ultimate supervision of the camps from the Luftwaffe.

            It’s done really well, with a real sense of how isolated and uncertain they all were in those Luft Stalags, and how massive those camps were at that point in the war.

            I liked how the US camp POW chain of command was shown actually talking through the implications of being so far east, located in what is now Poland, deciding that they would undoubtedly be moved on foot as the Red Army approached, so the prisoners needed to get in better physical condition to survive that forced march, but without making the guards suspicious as to what they were doing, and then coming up with a way to make it happen. Showing real leadership instead of flashy action sequences was refreshing.
