Some friends laughed at me a few years ago when, as a student of history, exclaimed we were witnessing history repeating itself and we compared to the year 1936 and today the clock is moving up exponentially... I found the following article worrisome...sadily we are living in a world of content without context... https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/08/03/metro/military-vets-fill-ranks-of-growing-neo-nazi-group-nc-131/

As the estimable Dan Savage would tell us..."It gets better" Oy Vey...is there anything worse than so called christians with hate filled hearts????

Hummm... He pictured the bricks exploding, as he’d done with the chain links. But the wall remained intact. Something in Travis told him destroying this wall was the key to everything. He tried again, focusing on the mortar. Centimeter by centimeter, he chipped away at the wall, but his head hurt like someone had taken a steamroller to it. When he’d removed enough mortar to pop out two bricks, a giant blackbird in chains stared back at him. Then a black light whooshed out of the wall into him, and with it, more memories and power. However, before he could make sense of what happened, Prometheus showed up and resealed the wall. Travis punched him. “What are you doing?” “Making sure you don’t go brain dead trying to free him before you’re ready.”

Like many others are thinking, one wonders if they will use solar power and battery backup

What a great present for this Saturday morning and as we saw, sending Daventry and Granger off to the frozen north, as it were, to allow for passions to cool down after the Guild had been neutered, were rewarded as indicated. What can be said about Caroline, one of the most astute political minds of her contemporaries, her fall from grace is stunning...and complete. She may have as well been banished to a nunnery.... While there was reconciliation between Grainger and his father the Duke, where was Freddie in offering congratulations, I fear anger and jealousy may lead to further intrigue from Freddie and the shrew he married... And...what of the Guild, St Vincent, and the others who oppose/detest Granger??? Let's not forget, by creating Grainger as an Earl, promises made in repudiating Caroline's ill conceived attempt to award their oldest son with a title, have been carried out... Then there is the issue of, will Granger return to the sea, if so...I suspect there will be a promotion, a step up in rank... While the world is for the most part at peace, we all know it won't last, and hopefully...many more adventures to be shared!!!

OMG... kbois 77,307 15 minutes ago, Mrsgnomie said: Are they all bark and no bite @weinerdog, it's this or this.... They may act nice but....

Loudmouth needs to be dealt with so Armand and Carl can finish what they need to do, and bring Charles back to the states... I have to believe GG may in some way, be responsible for Loudmouth's incarceration...

Hopefully the drug testing won't show traces of catnip-

Such a pathetic cast of main characters, they all deserve each other. I fail to see anything redeeming....

Well, we kind of saw that coming...there appear to be many forms of armageddon

The force multiplier for increased troubles is about to become a reality, they'll have to keep their heads on a swivel and alert for potential issues/beings of no good repute... When this is over, Parallax needs to be replaced, he isn't worthy...through his own ineptness he allowed the star to be taken...

The oppressive humidity has broken for a spell here in the northeast, giving us an early present of mid to late wonderful September weather, sadly by Friday we are back in it....how's your weather?

More like a partially dry stream hanger, could it possibly be Artemis?

I have to agree, the game today is a poor comparison to the teams of the late 70's and early to mid 80's...To me the all time greatest player, this is for you @weinerdog, won championships in high school, college, Olympics and in the NBA, 11 championships as a player and a coach. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment was his contributions made in the struggle for civil rights...Thank you #6, Bill Russell...

An auspicious beginning and looking forward to the next chapter!!

One wonders if some of the animal behaviors wouldn't be instinctual once the person has shifted. Conversely, while it may not be possible, one wonders if there were ever animal skinwalkers... As a Celtic's fan I can't let this transgression go by. One of the major reasons Michael Jordan was able to score so many points was, for him, the normal rules of the game were ignored for him. I watch some of the old games and the man was a continuous traveling infraction.

Well...we can see with all certainty that this will end well... JJ smiled. “I understand if you’re too pussy to—” “Get the alcohol!” “Well, alright, alright, alright. I’ll get the flavored vodka since it’s your first time drinking and all.” “Go already,” he said and tossed a throw pillow at JJ.

Was it the meds that caused Travis to see things that weren't there, or...do we have a new wrinkle???

Not positive Perry didn't have enough time to "get to know" Max so to speak, I'm thinking there wasn't a spark for Perry...as Perry has his sights set on...and it's gonna take some time to open that someone's eyes...Like sister, like brother???

Amidst all the excitement, another boy is saved and the family grows again...

Glad to see that Steve is becoming a more of a 'fixture' in the family dynamic, that he is accepted or who is he is and the role he will pay...I get the feeling Calvin may/might have a 'come to Jesus' moment with Steve...fingers crossed... Kenny, god bless his soul, is exactly the counterpoint that Bryan needs in his peer group and asa a boyfriend who can call truth to his BS... Diego, you've done gone and poked the bear...while it is understandable, the effort...the amount of effort Calvin is displaying in trying to contact the boys, obviously belabors there is some sort of reward $$$, in doing so. It is so out of character for this misanthrope to expend this much effort if there weren't a reward in it for him, then kicking the boys to the curb once he has what he wants. I have to believe that the boy's mother's family has something of value for the boys, and Calvin will stop at nothing to get it... While the outcome of a legal action can never be ascertained before hand, Calvin's sordid past, demonstrable lack of contact, and child support must work against him...sadly he's a weasel, they type shifty lawyers love, like a shark smelling chum in the water, the value the boys represent will prove irresistible...Diego...Get thee to a qualified attorney ASAP!!! “I don't know yet, and until I find them out, you need to stay as far away as possible. Do you understand what I'm saying?” “Are you threatening me?” “Yep. I'm threatening you with legal action. I will take you to court, again, if I have to.” “Maybe I'll take you to court.” “You can barely pay for the food you ordered, so I doubt you can get a lawyer.” Diego stood up and told Carla to bring over Calvin's bill. “Don't forget to tip your waitress,” he said as he walked back into the kitchen.

A door has been opened and there is no going back...

Many interesting portends in the dreams of Dakota, and I find it very sad and quite disturbing, that parents would throw their children away, and then to go to church as if everything was fine...

Methinks you hit the proverbial nail on the head @Summerabbacat!!! Not sure what news you get of the States in good old Australia, and as I am of a certain age, I can remember quote clearly life back in the 60's. It just may be the musings of a cranky old bastard, but our sense of national purpose, community, and understanding the 'great' issues confronting us have sadly gone the way of the dodo bird... Civility, common sense, and an ability to reason out the significant issues, parsing the words of lying, adulterous, criminally culpable politicians, proves impossible today. We now live in a world of content, without context!!! We've become fat, lazy, and unable to take the effort to discern between wedge issues, and the serious issues that confront a free society today. While there are many headscratchers out there, try this on for size, solar and wind generated power has saved the Texas energy infrastructure during this unprecedented heat wave. Which coincidentally is physically separated from the nationwide grid...Yet in Texas they are making it ever so much more difficult to build more of these energy generating facilities, as the gas and oil industry have bought the the Texas legislature... But I digress, if there is any hope for any of the denizens in this story, it will be by the likes of Aunt Marie and Uncle Steve...
