Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

So I took Buckley out to do his business. I checked the grass and it was dry. It was cool and cloudy. And the thought occurred to me, I think I’m going to get mowing. Just at that moment in came a drizzle. God said no! You not mowing now and your not splitting wood. And so here I am at the computer.
Well, at least you’re keeping busy. 😁
We had thunderstorms all night with heavy rain off and on. It’s clean and sunny now and barely 80. I’m looking forward to the forecast of 63 tonight.
Enjoy your day.
You must be way up north….here on the TX gulf coast we aren’t likely to see 63*F until halloween…
If it’s drizzly…you will soon be mowing.

And it’s got a little harp built into the top face. Wow. What a weird instrument. But it sure does sound like a sitar.

Best Cheesecake Moments on The Golden Girls
Listened to an outstanding webinar today by an author, Carissa Veliz(?), on her book “Privacy IS Security.” She was spot on on so many points and it was super-interesting that data mining our digital data and profiling us is only lucrative for politics, not company advertising. She called out Big Tech and particularly governments for perpetuating human rights abuses by trading digital data of its citizenry. She warned against a police state and how it increases national security risks, drew real-world historical parallels, and so much more. She talked fast, which was a downside because I kept missing key points, but she was passionate and spouted facts and figures. She is right that privacy is a community issue rather than a personal one now because they use our data to profile us and anything we touch digitally- friends, families, favorite groups, organizations, churches, etc. Definitely worth reading or searching for free interviews or discussions with the author online. She encourages everyone to fight back in any way they can- avoid google (DuckDuckGo), Gmail (ProtonMail), etc to limit data they generate on us and get active- regulations are only recently being discussed regarding privacy laws and machine learning/AI. We need new privacy laws to protect us in the “digital age.” The battle isn’t totally lost, but it doesn’t look good. Best outcome is a ban on trading digital data but our government is complicit. Just wanted to share because she totally surprised and impressed me (only listened as a change of pace for my lunch hour).

According to the models the disturbance behind Fernanda is going to become at TS. It will be named Hillary. The models at this time show it running right up the Baja and up along the California and New Mexico border to the tip of Nevada. This means more rain for the Colorado River basin. A good thing.
My favorite sources for meteorological occurances…specifically tropical storms….are windy dot com and trackthetropics dot com….
These two are. IMO…the best.
I live in SE TX…I never bug out until very late in the approach….likely 45 mph winds assist my exit and the billboard tarps are flapping in the wind.
All that said my perusal of the tropical situation puts the entire continental US in good shape at least ten days out…allowing for travel time of storms more likely near…at least…the end of August with no US landfalls and, even more likely, approaching mid-september… which is 22 days out…
The Bermuda/Azores High, the Saharan Dust and the wind shear due to El Nino are so far in our favor…
Pray it may stay so.
AMEN
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Now Malwarebytes is blocking access to the Treehouse with this message: torrent-protection.com website due to fraud.
Once I back out of the site then can access it. Not sure if this is due to the various ads that appear or if this is part of an ongoing attack against CTH; I also have this same blockage on Rantingly so perhaps there is a common denominator the backroom tech people can track down?
War Zones are safer than Central American nations….Iraq…Afghanistan…Ukraine are safer than Central American nations and that is who the forth obama admin is importing into this nation by the millions…
We don’t need or want those people here…they have 7th grade educations and draw ten of thousands of $$$$ of taxpayer support.
They are political pawns of the leftists…the left pretends compassion but are the enemies of America…
Mayorkas has got to go…dozens of other obama trash needs to go to…
Especially the energy and EPA idiots.
