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 †

Caturday
Time to sleep in.
Ours doesn’t want us to sleep in too long. She will be up there in our faces if she thinks we are sleeping too late. She is very vocal about it too.
Your own personal alarm clock. I bet when the clocks go forward/back, it can be quite jarring.
wow.
Thanks again Dub. ✝️
“Strange Fire” by John MacArthur is a timely read.
Face like flint, ff
Good morning, Frank💓 It’s nice to have a place like this where we can breathe, reflect, gather ourselves for spiritual battle with friends we love, untouched for a bless-ed moment in this dreadful world.
Did I say nice? I meant essential🙏 BNM
Edit…just went outside to see an hear the world as God made it. Joy!!
Yes Bet. Truely ✝️👍✝️
😘!!
I am a sinner, but I hope God will hear me when I say to Him that you, WP, I appreciate as one who is faithful in teaching me Bless you for filling that need for me each and every day. B🙏
🙌
Morning , Ya’ll 🙂
Morning jay, never heard the Originals before !
Gotta have some Motown now and again. 🙂
The good ole days😊
Definitely
Morning, M💓
Good morning, Betsy! God’s creation does look beautiful outside! On it’s way to the 80s on Monday.
Good morning, G🤗 The weather doesn’t know what to do, does it? Same here. Beautiful today and tomorrow and the next… Then for us WHAM!!!! Snow predicted with accompanying cold. Hopefully that will be it but whoever knows.
I’ll take each day as it comes and be grateful I am here to enjoy it🙏💓 All blessings to you and all whom you love😘
And blessings to you, Bet NM! Just finished my daily tasks. Well, almost.
My Mom and I were discussing the crazy weather half an hour ago. My take was that I’d rather have this than 3 months of snow and ice.
Agree!!!!! You made me think of this by Robert Frost…
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire.
Some say ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Posted apropos of nothing except for your mentioning ice…the things that spur a memory. No explaining it.😊
No need for splaining. 😁
Hi Gramps 🤛
Hi Frank.
Howdy, son!
Love and Happiness! A good sound for the day … 🙂
😉
Morning, P💓 It is a good sound and gosh, don’t we need it.
Good morning to you as well, jay💓
🙂
Mornin’ jay!
🙂
Hi j
Steely Dan … Nice.
As for “Reelin’ in the Years” … I spent many years thinking the lyrics said “Reelin’ in the East”! 🙂
As for “Aja” … never heard of it before just now. From the little bit I listened to it, it seems like this song will make me fall asleep right here in front of the computer … which may not be a bad thing … It seems pleasant enough.
And as for “Peg” … I thought the lyric was saying “Hey!” instead of “Peg” … but since the song talked about cameras and foreign movies and had a good happy-sounding beat, I thought it was a pretty cool song. “Hey! It will come back to you … Hey! It’s your favorite foreign movie …” 🙂
Goodaye phoenix, haven’t seen you round for a while, hope ya all good ☺
Good to see you Mungrel! 🙂
Just been a bit busier than usual with work and digging my car out of snow drifts and prying the doors open after the ice encases them! Nowhere near as adventurous as your life, so definitely am hoping that YOU stay safe … and free!
I know what you’re talking about, Phoenix. For the first time ever here in Texas this last cold snap w/snow and sleet caused the doors on my old truck to freeze shut!
I hope you at least got to enjoy some winter beauty to go along with all the extra work of tending to your truck in icy weather, Garrison! Here’s a photo I took showing the view out my window yesterday morning here in Northeast Ohio:
I call it A Breath of Snow” … with snow flurries dancing among ice-covered branches yesterday morning, with sunshine to the side in a blue clear sky.
Here’s hoping for brighter days for all of us!
That winter beauty is not so beautiful when it covers your truck. I had icicles hanging down off my mirrors Thursday. While I was stopped in the backup I knocked them off and went around and cleaned my lights. But as soon as I was rolling again they were back and growing.
For sure, rah!
Was very happy to be able to open my car doors later in the day.
🙂
Praying your paw is so much better🙏
Curiouser and curiouser …
Great band.
Yeah, was actually just thinking of this song!
Steely Dan, that’s a blast from the past, haven’t listened to them since I forgot !
Cheers.
Hiya, Mungrel! 🙂
😂😂 Goodaye Garrison, I sincerely hope your “Hiya” wasn’t an attempt to talk Aussie, if it was an “F” is the best mark I can give you !
I’ll let you in on a little secret, Aussie speak is words put together in sentence as one, example :
Sentence: How are you doing mate. Becomes,
howyadoinmate. Or the obvious is cut short, like , Good day becomes Goodaye, or , would you like a beer, becomes, wanna beer, the funny part is we speak fast with content intact, what are you doing here, would be whatchadoinear, some things are hard to explain, but if I tell someone to get f*cked, without word of explanation others would say to that person “you got told” meaning that I had a righteous “beef” with that particular person.
Nobody really worrys about swearing or what you might call cussing here as the context of the words use is what matters.
Hope yacanrapyahead around this post 😛
Cheers.
My earliest recollection of “hiya, hiya” is from Froggie on the Andy Devine show. Vintage 50’s
That is “Hi Y’all” here in the south.
The South there is the north here, not only weatherwise but thinking wise, most don’t take into account the Earth spin on the sun, for example the Florida weather heat and humidity wise is almost the same as Darwin, including cyclonic and tornadoes, our tornadoes are smaller though and called Willy willys.
We just missed another tornado event here in Kentucky on Thursday. Winds were lining up right with cold from the north, warm from the south and full of moisture. The danger line was right over Mayfield again. I was watching the wind patterns on Ventusky.com when it all broke down and the lines became more random. Tornadoes are nasty no matter how big they might be.
A Willy Willy coming of the edge of a cyclone can be like one of your tornadoes but rare, the biggest ones otherwise can pick up a car but only a short height and distance, they are very slow and don’t last long, in other words if you get caught in one your a dickhead .
The cyclonic type though run for the hills.
Reminds me of the time a friend of mine described a tiny little dust devil cloud following her across the parking lot to her car one day after grocery shopping. She told the story in all seriousness and was shocked that I ended up laughing, but I found the imagery of being tracked down by the smallest storm in the world somewhat amusing … and she made it into the car unscathed, safe and sound, so there’s that!
I’m getting a visual myself…😂😂😂
That’s why we need more tornado dogs. Lol
Well, that would explain why people in Oz drive on the wrong side of the road . . . 🙂
Is it ever!!! Hi y’all all y’all.
Fairdinkum !
Meaning is “a startling truth”.
In Britain, hiya is an extremely common greeting.
Btw, pronounced the same way as Mr Trump says “Chyna”. 😉
LOL, mate! Some new material for the nipper except that little part in the middle of the post. 😂
Hahahaha!!! I was thinking the same thing as I read it.
Editing is a good thing😂
Nope. Pure southern American mixed with Texan-speak.
Bless your heart, our slang for get ffookkeedd.
Right, that’s the way for a Southern lady to use the f word. 🙂
Pardon me for this, but my very proper oldest daughter (most of the time) texts ” fahk” on the occasion of really shocking news…a terribly British pronunciation, don’t you know.
LOL! Just remind her she can use Bless your heart with the same result. 😂
Hahaha… and does!!
“Whatchadoinear” is definitely a possibility in some forms of American English, as in the “running words together” thing … that said, I’m sure the Aussie accent is quite a bit different than how the words run together in the US!
(I can do an Irish accent and a British accent, was told years ago that my normal accent was tinged with Canadian since I grew up close to the border, but Australian and New Zealand accents have always eluded me since I’m not usually exposed to them as often.)
My Brit husband has an incredible ear for accents. Adds so much to any joke he tells, and he knows many. The one he cannot do is an American one. I told him not to try. It IS awful.
Yeah. I gotchu onnat 😁
All played daily in the NW at KRKO am and KJR fm back in my day, still got the 8 tracks. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Saw them in concert in NC years ago and for the first time ever, I was glad I was Nowhere near the front…Donald Fagan spits all over the place when he sings!!!!!! You could see it from the cheap seats and the people in the front several rows were actually covering their heads! 🤣
Swapping spits with your partner in the back stalls were we, hmmmm😛
Actually, trying to avoid the drunk concert-goers who always manage to be seated right near me!
Good morning, Leenie💓
This video is self explanatory. Please consider going to her shop and leaving a small donation. She has gift cards that you can purchase. They can be as little as $10 Canadian. If you choose to donate purchase the card and then put the name of the cafe on the TO: portion of the card.
Nice woman, unfortunately people like her are the ones the weak try to break, cowardly acts are performed by soulless, heartless cowards, oops I forgot gutless .
The circle will turn on the scum.
Blast from the past….

Those Were The Days
Mary Hopkin
Great song, from a Mungrel point view, I met an Italian girl working in the desert, northern Swiss border small town girl,Liberty was her name, she was quiet out of Mungrel pay grade, fluent in six languages and travelled the world .
At first I helped her never noticing her outward beauty .
She was on the legal run trying to find citizenship in oz, an Interpol alert was set fourth on her by her ex who happened to be an upcoming fascist pig, in an area where men outnumber woman by a hundred to one, she stood her ground well.
At the same time I in my life didn’t want anything to do with another woman again so their were no sexual overtones whatsoever between both.
Amazed at my knowledge was she, and amazed by here cultured values was I .
My Latin understanding helped.
I spoke to her father and uncle with her interpreting , they were anti fascist big time and loved me, the Aussie Patriot hoon, I worked on her citizenship with her, immense bullshit paperwork.
To you mob here the question of faith once more arose, she explained her Christianity and I explained my contempt.
Some here know my reasons why.
I’ll -a-show a-you , she said.
We laughing agreed, cultural stuff she taught, how to drink red wine proper even !
Well in return she taught me that not having respect for woman was a losers point of view.
A street Mungrel like myself don’t often get to even associate what most would consider “class” but her I was.
She always wore a cross around her neck, one day she took it off and put it around mine , at my rejection she kissed me.
Demanding as only Italian Woman forcibly can be I was going to take her to the big race (horse) .
The richest race in Western Australia, big money mob event, well she taught me a lesson !
She went whole hog in the girl dress up thing, that’s how I know what a “facinator” is !
Absolutely stunning she was , tight red dress with all the accepted model stuff, I encouraged her to go into the beauty / dress competition, she won.
I had more woman giving me their phone numbers and more men offering me work that at any time in my life.
She gave me what I needed in the faith department and I gave her the same in the real man department.
Her sorrow was being Barron.
My sorrow was lack of woman trust.
She is a Aussie now.
She also is responsible for my return.
Couldn’t help but post this as “those were the days”.
P.S, to Feral, I’m house trained 😝 !!!!!
What a poignant story, Mungrel. Lots to reflect upon in that one. Such a remarkable life you’ve lived. I’m so glad you shared it. Those people you’ve encountered, like this woman, didn’t show up by chance. You do know that, right?💓😉LBT
no words
hugs
God works in ways we will never understand.
Boy, now isn’t that a song who’s time has come. The circle of life.
It’s Caterday, Treepers. Sometimes you get the cat and then, sometimes, the cat gets you. An old friend has befriended a few “feral” cats. For several years she’s carefully fed them, taken them to the vet, and slowly, slowly they’ve begun to trust. The rest is a small love story. Sometimes modest efforts at kindness have big payoffs. Old kitties count too. Pet your kitties for me! And remember that all animals got to heaven! 🙂
Oh they do, Garrison. We’re down to one, our feral boarder, who trusts us mostly. But he is after all feral so he has his limits. He gets fed and enjoys his brush when it’s warm enough. He knows a soft touch when he sees one (us). 💓
Mornin’ Garrison, all 3 of my cats are warmly snuggled with the 2 dogs this morning. Earlier it was 25 outside and they don’t like to venture out when it’s that chilly.
A warning to our friend Mungrel. The first thing that some people do after they take you in is take you to the vet and have your balls cut off. 😜

He has the rank of Col on his cap but the rank of 2nd or 1st Lt on his epaulets. Can’t tell for sure if those bars are gold or silver since the light could be playing a trick.

Howdy Frank, a revolution boomerang I throw to you!
Absolutely perfect sunset today here, I even let a big brown snake go past, no children where I am so I don’t kill em, good eatin though if you need to.
Funny shit in Aussie going on, nobody is giving a shit about all the covidcon crap, the ministry of truth has been overwhelmed with non-compliance, even the registered idiots are kicking up a stink.
Two states now are hiring back the unjabed nurses, good stuff because now the nurses are demanding more pay , stickin it to the man bigtime, stiff shit is the general consensus.
Cheers Frank.
Cheers bakatchuh!
Our truckers have announced every detail on their convoy to DC. I expect false flags and government plants to smear good intentions and spark the need for intervention.
I suspect this particular wave of tyranny will just keep the pump primed for more waves.
I’m associated with a great group here. We won’t get jabbed or interred in a camp. Period.
This weekend is cool but warm enough to do some gardening, wrap up a build job for a customer, work on our boat…we should be able to bow fish here in about 3 weeks. You’d fit here, dog…wish you could visit.
Always. In the back of my mind, is the speeding cascade of tyranny and all the associated shit we have been forced to face and plan for. Head wag!
I’m soooo thankful I know Christ as my Saviour. Can’t wait til He comes.
Good to hear, same here, gotta bit of a reprieve the pushback is coming hard and strong, behind the scenes anything establishment is getting what they call doxed, find out who works for government and give it to em, verbally of course, don’t ever get on the wrong side of Aussie woman I’ll give ya the word !
I know for a fact pigs wife’s have no friends other than the proverbial sewing circle.
Stiff shit as far as I’m concerned.
Cheers Frank.
Cheers
Soon Frank, very soon. 🙏🏻
Yes. Love it 👍✝️👍
He’s already here. We just don’t realize it yet.
Fish?? At Lake P?

Ahh…
Snakes are good eating? I lived 85 years without ever hearing that! Amazing!
We ate rattlesnake in Nevada.
I’ve eaten rattlesnake several times.
We were giving our SF trainees a chopper blast to keep current for Jump pay. The jump was at the DZ on Camp Bolus which is a small training area for Ft. Sam Houston.
A couple of the SF instructors came across a big Western Diamond back on the DZ. It was lethargic because it was a pretty cool day. They killed it and skinned it out and gave the carcass to the trainees.
I explained to the trainees to use only the scrub oak or mesquit to cook it but they didn’t listen and the ruined it by using pine.
The skin of that snake was stretched out on the hood of a CUT-V which was the Army version of a full sized Blazer to start drying it. The skin stretched from the top of the tire on one side to the top of the tire on the other.
Niiiiiice
Revelations.. Conclusions..
we are in perilous times.. so for my peace of mind I must provide conclusions and missing pieces of the puzzle.. for posterity.. for the Archives..
..out of all of them.. there was just one that I secretly really desired.. I got that heartfelt rush of true love feeling whenever I saw her.. the kind you have no control over.. it just happens..
(I think there’s a chapter out there about her.. but I’ve lost track..)..
——————————-
hindsight is 20/20..
in brief..
missed moments..
..It was in the laundramat.. located underneath the wing where my loft overlooked the pool.. and her place was directly across the pool from mine.. we could see each other from our windows..
I went down to get my laundry.. and she was there.. the laundry machine right near mine.. she glanced at me and quietly gave me her shy and oh so sweet smile.. ..I can still see her..
I proceeded to get my clothes out of the washing machine and.. what is this..? it was a piece of “woman’s wear”..
“How’d this get in there..” I surprisedly exclaimed.. (duhh.. I was so clueless..)..
she sweetly said “oh.. that’s mine..”..
I blushed and handed it to her.. the light bulb just didn’t go off in my head.. damn.. it was her way of telling me.. ‘..hey you dumbo.. I like you.. now ask me out or something..’..
but it just didn’t click in my head.. I was too caught up in the sudden embarrassment from a piece of “woman’s wear..”..
——————————-
..if you love somebody.. just tell them..
or at least ask them out for dinner or something..

Yeah, Why?
I dunno, Y is a crooked letter or something ?
Morning Leenie, just saying hi before a start diving all over the place. 😁
Hi, sir! Driving, right? 🤣
Ha, ha, driving, of course. Haven’t done any diving in more than a decade. And it was all recreational, nothing like Texian.
(Funny guy 🥴)…I was echoing your question to Texian as to why he wanted his post deleted…
Why? I liked your story.
Naw! Honest post! 🤟
You have been sorely missed, Texian. I am so glad to see you again. You and Mungrel have stories second to none. And like Mungrel, you really have had quite the life. Thank you for sharing it.
Howdy Texian, haven’t seen you in a while. No need to remove a very good writing.
Love that video. A-ha. I think that music video won like best video award or something.
Also a fan of that A-ha video!

Good Morning everybody (d,WP, f, l, b, g….he!! The whole alphabet of treepers)☀️ Big grin:)
My internet is out of service for most part of the day today. I’m on my cheap data cell data plan now. 1g oool /s. Peeked at all the wonderful music titles today. Awesome awesome choices by all. Thanks for the ear worms, they’ll keep buzzing 🐝.
Want to give a special good morning greeting to Ginny and one to 💐.
And mungrel, my special flea bag, Miss our romps in the woods. I’ve been busy scouting out locations for possible antomwaffle house franchises 😉
See you all soon! 💋
Bummer, Cat!💓 We’ll catch you on the back end of the day I hope.
Good morning, Cat! ❤️
Really do luv ya Feral, looking after my tail when I got a gimpy paw for a while, that Atomwaffen mob can be mean what I hear, so be careful, I did leave a few dug in barkers eggs though, sort of umm, time release, they should keep you safe till I can limp back to your forest and mark the perimeter again.
Been saving my cake barkers up , super critter protection them ones, got em buried next to my kennel to ripped them up,
Woof, wag, woof, ouch!
Bloody paw! 😜
Greetings!
Just what one would expect from this Lawless Regime:
Biden EPA Chief Vows to Ignore Supreme Court on EPA Regulation of Coal Plants – Watts Up With That?
I keep asking the dam busters where the electricity is gonna come from when they want to shut down Clean Coal and Dams. BLANK stare and no ideas.
And after they have forced everyone into electric vehicles, the demand will grow exponentially. But never mind, they will just install solar panels and windmills on top fo the cars. Yeah, that should do it.. just ask Texas last winter how well that worked
LOL! My husband said this morning, “I’m thinking about getting an electric car…”
I said, “Don’t even think about it!”
He said, “Can I think about it?”
Me: “Okay, and that’s as far as it goes.”
Don’t even let him think about it!
More Shipping News – Was the Felicity Ace Fire caused by Electric Vehicle Batteries? – Watts Up With That?
I can’t stop him from thinking! 😜. Not entirely certain I can stop him from acting (didn’t work when I begged him not to get vax’d!). But I can put up a stink, and he knows he hasn’t tested the boundaries of silence! 🤔
Interesting, rah. Didn’t realize they were electric. Entirely possible. Imagine the salvaging if it comes to that.
Not all of them were but some were. It would only take one to start that fire.
Proving what looks good on paper never works out in real life…or at least as intended. None of these bright sparks think ahead…or think. Period.
They don’t even look good on paper when one considers the environmental and human costs of the mining and processing of the cobalt and lithium in the batteries. Non renewable resources of finite availability. And then there is the cost of recycling them.
Combine that with the rising cost of electricity as the drive for “renewables” continues and it really looks ever more foolish.
I agree, rah. If sensible people were looking at that paper. But they are in no way sensible. They are all idealogues, and as such, have no critical thinking skills. Everything for them is in the moment. They don’t have any plan B, C, etc. No cost benefit analysis. It is beyond their capabilities. And we all pay the price.
Well said.
Hen drives a Porsche 911. His thinking is about an electric Porsche. (YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, …and maybe he is…)
Good point
One of my friends’ brother sold 8 of the porches on that boat.
Thinking is harmless enough. Doing? Oh HECK NO!!!
Even more ridiculous: He drives a Porsche. 911…and his “thinking” is about an electric Porsche!
He has to be Jagging my wires, right? 😜
A friend just bought one and complains loudly that he can’t go far because there are so few recharging places. He has children in California but his electric car can’t take him there because he spends way too much time and electricity searching, which makes it way more expensive than hopping a commercial plane, from Arizona.
Talk him into a hybrid. I owned a 2005 Prius for 13 years and it was the lowest cost to own and operate vehicle in my entire lifetime (in constant dollars). Sold it cheap to my brother in law in 2018 and he loves it – it’s still running strong and getting almost 50 mpg. With the ORIGINAL hybrid battery.
Never worry about recharging it. It charges itself while running and coming down long hills usually charged it up to the very max. Coasting downhill also enables the use of dynamic braking using the resistance of the electric motor, which extended the life of the brakes by thousands of miles.
I cannot speak highly enough about that car – it accommodated my large, near-six foot frame quite comfortably, yet also held an amazing amount of cargo in the rear.
It was good for 350 to 400 miles per tank, which held only about 10 gallons, but I never let it go much below 1/4 tank full.
I have a Prius, and LOVE THAT CAR!!
👍 😁 👍
I see quite regularly electric cars with out of state plates with gas generators mounted on the back where a scooter would be. LMAO !
With the drivers wearing dunce caps? Dear oh dear.
The same ones you see driving wearing masks.
You’d like to think they’d want to complete the outfit.
Head wag
Dunce caps. You crack me up
I just found an emoji on my Kindle that suits me . I use a similar one when I text my grandkiddos… Look out for this one in future as I wear specs. BNM🤓💓
Thanks for that suggestion I will transfer to my Telsa owning friend.

Now we won’t have to buy the book.
God is the sudden stop at the end of a dive off the Empire State Building. God is the heart attack at the end of a life filled with drugs and alcohol. God is the lethal bite from petting a rattlesnake. God is your crying baby at 2,3,4, 5 in the morning.
He also is the one who sends his son to hell and back to save every ignorant one of us from the pit. Who stands beside us in every adversity.
No, AOC wouldn’t recognize God or a prophet of God if she saw either. It’s Gods mercy she stands on.
God is righteousness, yeah we all make mistakes but to ignore him or mock him is to push away our only hope. It will be an interesting time.
Did you know China is rewriting the Bible?
Saw that…😠

Where Do Broken Hearts Go
Just down the road from Worcester MA there’s a lovely little place called Lake Webster.
But its original Native name was quite different.
Lean back and drift along as Diane Taraz tells us all about it.
I pronounce it a little differently (accents on different sy-labbles) but I learned to say it when I was about 16 and could drive there and sit in front of the sign until I got it. Mine goes like this (without proper spelling).
Lake Chagog-agog-man-chog-agog-shabuna-gunga-morg.
You fish on your side, we’ll fish on our side and no one fishes in the middle.
Fair plan I think between two Native American Indian Tribes
Afternoon, parichute💓 You call that long?? How about the longest name of a village in Wales…
Llanfairpwllgwngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch.
I can pronounce the first half blah blah last half.
Imagine my absolute shock when we arrived back here, and an immigration officer was quizzing me as I was standing waiting for my husband to get the all clear. He asked a lot of questions, but when I said we were returning from Wales permanently, he asked me about that name. I’m sure he was trying to catch me out. I told him I could sort of kind of pronounce it and proved it.
He then pronounced the whole thing to perfection. I wish I could have seen my face. I was quite impressed, I can tell you.😊
That is remarkable all the way ’round – great story
Wow. Just wow.
Hubby can say it. My tongue gets itself twisted towards the middle and straightens itself out so I can finish it towards the end. Locals just call it Llanfair PG. (I can’t give you a phonetic on the double L but it is a difficult back of the throat sound…the “fair” is pronounced “vi-ar” ).
Mornin’ infidels.
Requiescat in pace, PJ. Perhaps your finest quote.
Artillery:
I suspect many have heard that in the US Army the infantry is known as “the Queen of Battles”. How many have wondered what “the King of Battles” is? Well the answer is the Artillery. King Louis XIV had “Ultima Ratio Regum” (The Ultimate Argument of Kings) cast into all of his artillery pieces and he was correct.
It was the development of artillery that eventually ended the usefulness of castles as fortified redoubts and caused the evolution of siege warfare. It was artillery that turned the infantryman into a gopher where by a good trench or hole is an essential for survival in static warfare.
But despite the trenches and holes about 75% all KIA during WW I were from Artillery. During WW II Artillery accounted for about 64% of the total casualties in the war against Germany and Italy. In the war against Japan it was about 46%.
There are exceptions to every rule but basically Field Artillery can be broken down into four basic categories:
Guns- Direct fire Line of sight primarily
Howitzers -primarily indirect fire
Mortars – High arching Indirect fire
Rockets – Indirect fire primarily
The US Army from WW II onward has been at the forefront in the development of Field Artillery. It was at Guadalcanal where the first TOT (Time On Target) artillery barrage ever carried out by any Army was unleashed. TOT is where batteries at different locations and elevations and even of different calibers fire in a manner so that all their shells will arrive at the same instant on a given target.
It was the US that led the way in the development and use of White Phosphorous mortar and artillery shells as antipersonnel weapons during WW II.
It was the US that during WW II that invented and manufactured the proximity fuse and it was released for use of the Field Artillery during the emergency Battle of the Bulge. Prior to that it had only been used for antiaircraft fire, primarily in the Pacific theater, and though there were large stock piles of the fuses in Europe they had been held back for fear that the Germans would recover a dud and develop and manufacture their own version of the fuse.
It was during the American civil war that portended some of what was to come in WW I. Vicksburg and then the defense and siege of Richmond and Petersburg were examples of trench warfare. Ballon recon was used by both sides. The first trench mortars were developed and used during that war. The Gattling gun, while not allowed to be procured in any numbers or deployed in a manner to prove it’s effect in that war was still the progenitor of the machine gun. The first effective rifled artillery pieces were developed and used during that war. And of course the invention of the steam powered ironclads and the heavy naval guns they carried marked the beginning of the end for wooden men war.
good 1
In the years prior to the civil war, the development of shell ammunition was extremely important, especially in naval application. US Navy LT John Dahlgren emerged as a leading expert in developing guns that could successfully employ shell. The French recognized the problems posed by the infantry adoption of minie / expanding base rifled musket ammunition and percussion ignition for use against artillery. The result was the development of the shrapnel shell as an AP munition. Because shells were vulnerable to failure when fired at high velocity, it was necessary to use low velocity / high trajectory howitzers. French ordnance engineers were able to develop improved cast iron shell casing that could stand up to a higher propellant charge, and hence higher velocity. They in turn were able to consolidate the variety of artillery tubes by settling on the 12 lb gun-howitzer aka “Napoleon (named after Napoleon III)” . The French were able to manufacture the new 12 lb gun howitzer in sufficient quantities that it became a primary field artillery weapon in the Crimean War’s seige of Sevastopol. Here, the American military delegation sent by Sec War Jeff Davis (in particular, MAJ Alfred Mordecai of the ordnance corps) saw the benefit of the gun-howitzer.
European armies were also experimenting with rifled ordnance in this period, with a French pattern seeing successful use during the Wars of Italian Unification, leading artillerists to see rifled guns as the future for field artillery.
With the acknowledged utility of artillery shell ammunition followed the need for reliable time fuses. The task fell to the union Frankford Arsenal “laboratory” in Philadelphia. Its pre-war commandant, Josiah Gorgas, would become the confederate’s Chief of Ordnance. The quality of fuses turned out by the Richmond Arsenal would be a continuing source of friction between Gorgas and field commanders.
Josiah Gorgas’s famous son was William Gorgas. The Army doctor that brought Yellow Fever under control after Walter Reed discovered that mosquito vector. He also greatly reduced the infections of malaria.
We had a case come into our little clinic on the outskirts of Monrovia, Liberia. We did not have the diagnostic capability to differentiate between Yellow Fever and Ebola and it scared us into full aseptic PPE and isolation of the patient. A Christian Hospital took the patient and diagnosed it as Yellow Fever. When we got the news you had a bunch of relieved SF soldiers.
Gorgas fought the good fight to institute effective preventative medicine techniques in the US Army but was not popular with the commanders and so much of what he recommended was not instituted in his day. The struggle continued, Even on Guadalcanal when Vandegrift was told that he needed to institute measures to kill of the malaria carrying mosquitos he replied “I’m here to fight the Japanese, not mosquitos”.
Thanks
Great read! Thanks man.
I found this on my Linked In home page today–definitely Treeper material
Well, today didn’t go as we hoped but it’s in the hardest of times we learn the best lessons and feel the most gratitude.
Buffy was scheduled to have her teeth cleaned and removed today but Dr. Mac had a gut feeling she needed to look at some lab work before putting her under anesthesia. She was right; Buffy showed signs of advanced kidney failure so anesthesia was not an option and as a family we decided that the kindest and most loving thing to do would be to let her go before she lost her will to live and stopped eating and drinking.
I wouldn’t have dreamed of leaving Robbie out of this decision or not allowing him to be part of the entire process so I immediately went and picked him up from school. On the way there he told me he wanted to be the one to hold her when she went to heaven. And of course, I gave him that honor. On the way home I told him how proud I was of him for understanding the importance of caring for old animals and helping to make sure they never ever suffer.
This is what he said…
(And for those of you who don’t know, Robbie was adopted from the foster care system after years of severe abuse and neglect.)
“I know how it feels not to be loved or cared for and I don’t want any animal of mine to ever feel that way. It’s only sad for us when they go to heaven. It’s a happy day for them. Thank you for being proud of me. Are you ok, Mom?”
From the mouths of babes.
(As our story is being shared more and more I feel like I need to add a little more context and also give you a deeper glimpse into the heart of my son. We adopt senior dogs. Robbie LOVES adopting senior dogs. He is sadly aware the longer a child remains in foster care the less likely they are to be adopted. He told me once “if all you guys had wanted was a baby, you would have never gotten me.” He relates to our “old people” (that’s what we call our senior dogs) in much the same way.
He has also reminded me on several occasions that it doesn’t matter how long you have something for how much you love it. I asked him what he meant and he said “well you’ve only known me for two years but you love me like it’s been forever.” Yes, my son is the coolest.)
Thank you Joe
for your words – and for what you and your family DO
I wish more people understood true love
Such loving and wise words from that bless-ed young lad. I doubt he recognizes exactly what he has said when he spoke of the fact that his parents could have adopted a baby but chose him. Because there is no doubt for me God placed him there. The threads of two different lives woven into one family. I truly believe this is how He works. And it is joyful, glorious, and tear inducing.
I’m overwhelmed with this bittersweet story. Thank you so much, Joe, for posting it💓
Our “adopted” kids (both used to work for us, started dating and got married, both got their nursing degrees while with us) tried really hard to have children but to no avail so they ended up adopting 2 older boys, brothers.
So with the enlarged family they bought a bigger house. When packing for the move the younger boy became really quiet (normally he is very happy outgoing kid). Mom and Dad inquired to what was going on. Turned out he thought they were fixing to dump them back into the foster system. Just about broke everyone’s heart.
The family has become very good friends with our daughter’s family. And we are happy to have the two boys for our grandchildren. That makes 9 total.
Tomorrow afternoon we are having both families over. It is going to be fun!
Oh gosh, G!!!! That is the saddest thing. Bless his heart. Can you imagine the thoughts going through his head?? That story has broken my heart, I can tell you.
What a joyous gift they must be for all of you. I’m so happy for them. Their forever family. God is so good🙏💓
Amen, sis!
Ahhhh
Clueless on which border 😛
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

I got a boost in spirit yesterday. My wife and I went to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville. It was packed. There were thousands of salt of the earth people, families with happy kids, school groups and no sign of Covid except for an occasional mask wearer. I love the smell of new machinery. It is a blend of rubber, paint, oil and new steel. We still wonder how a farmer can cash flow a $500,000 tractor. I saw a few MAGA hats and an older gentleman with a “Let’s Go Brandon” t-shirt, but it was otherwise politics-free. Brown duck, denim or cotton was the fashion choice.
I stopped by the Deutz-Farr booth as I have a Deutz. The pretty greeter (all of the big booths have pretty greeters, it may be a rule) asked if I wanted to register for a free shotgun. I asked what brand. She said its free, does it matter? You know you are in a happy place when the door prizes are firearms.
We looked at lawn mowers, hand tools and gimmicks being sold by guys taking some time of from the Ginzu knife sales at the mall. I looked at tractor mounted hydraulic limb saw, probably should have bought it for the “Show Only Price!” We looked at huge tractors, tillage, forage and grain equipment that we do not need. We really liked a machine called a forest excavator. It is a skid steer attachment that works like a tiller but has stump grinder teeth. You can move through a thicket and grind up trees, branches and stumps to about 6 inches below the surface in one pass. I would only be out $150,000 for the skid steer and the attachment. I am trying to work out the cash flow for that if I could hire out.
There were lots and lots of smiling faces and pleasant conversation. Back to work today. I have an 85 foot pine tree to cut up in my back yard that the recent storms blew down. Missed the house by 20 feet.
I went to a farm show in Iowa once–the people directing the car parking were on horseback, how cool is that? I usually go to the Mid America Truck Show in Louisville–same crowd. The stroller count usually tells you how the economy is doing. I wonder if RAH goes there
Nope! Haven’t been. The Indiana truckers rodeo is back on now that they got rid of the mask mandate. Randy, my buddy will be competing but it is not really fair. Companies give drivers time off to practice and even set up courses identical to those at the competition.
But not the one we drive for and so Randy goes in at quite a disadvantage. But that’s what he gets for having that Indiana “Master Truck Driver” on the side of his truck. I could get that sticker but have no desire for it. In fact I don’t even like having the 1 million mile safe driver on the side of my truck. And I told the bosses at the company to forget about nominating me for driver of the year. Told them they should give it to younger drivers they wish to retain and not some old guy that is near retirement.
We’re not old til 85!
Keep on Truckin!
It is so gratifying to know there are still parts of our country which are as we knew them long ago.
Here in East Texas I can get $250 per hour using a Kubota 95 hp with a Messicks attachment.
The market is slowing
When we landscaped our 1/3 acre in Wales, we bought a mini digger for £7,000. Had a covered cab and a heater. My husband got the job done in about 4 months in his spare after work time and then sold it. So the cost of doing the work was about £2,000. Had we rented it the cost would have been prohibitive. Smartest thing we ever did.
I wish I could show you the pictures, Frank. It was an incredible garden with a deck hubby built at the top of it so we could see the whole gorgeous valley. Given your profession, I do think you especially would appreciate it.🤓
19 February 1966
Lou Christie enjoys his only US number one record with “Lightnin’ Strikes”, a song that his record company, MGM, hated so much, they initially refused to release. Label head Lenny Shear actually threw the tape in the wastebasket and said it was “a piece of crap.” After Christie’s management team promoted the record themselves, it started to gain attention and three months later, Billboard magazine featured a picture of Shear presenting Christie with a Gold record.
19 February 1972
Although he had written songs that were recorded by The Turtles, Rick Nelson, Blood Sweat And Tears, Lulu, The Monkees and Three Dog Night, Harry Nilsson had his only US number one hit with “Without You”, a tune written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger.
19 February 1977
“Blinded By The Light” reached the top of the Billboard singles chart for Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, although it had earlier been a commercial failure for the song’s writer, Bruce Springsteen.
I think Harry Neilson’s version of Can’t Live is the best rendition of that song by anyone.
Way back in the 70s I was living in Guadalajara in Mexico. This wonderful song came out and I just loved it. When I came back to the US to renew my tourist card to stay in Mexico I found out it was in English, too. And both versions by Nilsson!
And then there is

And when all of us are dust, He will still be there.
And yes, all reprehensible tyrants whose souls Satan has claimed as his own…you may not think so, but one day to insignificant dust you will return. Just like all of us who you consider yourselves better than.
Then hell.
Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord.
I totally get this! Also in TV shows when they ring doorbells! My shepherds make quite a ruckus!
I had three dogs. I had never had a doorbell and yet, when they heard one on the TV, they all ran to the door barking.
😂
Perfect!!!
Oh WOW Oh WOW , how GREAT you got that photo! Many thanks for being YOU!
Attention Sundance: Farmers are saying they are getting letters from USDA to destroy their crops and get 1.5 times the value in compensation. Not sure how true this is but looks like Build Back Better money is funding it. Yeah, looks like we the taxpayer could be funding the gov to drive up food prices and/or starve us to death/submission. I can believe anything at this point.
It’s true, according to what I’ve been reading for quite a while. I bet they aren’t asking the biggest farmland owner Gates to destroy his.
Are you sure it wasn’t Bill gates still on his
American Farm Land ownership -loving spree?
I think this is what is real…

I thought that doctors were supposed to fight diseases and viruses, not create them.
No contest.
Agree. We trust K9 much more than BS
Exactly so!
Indiana Gov. Holcomb
One of the things that exposes the incompetence of a government executive is how they take care of the roads. Be it a mayor or a governor, taking care of the infrastructure and keeping the transportation moving as safely as possible is a fundamental duty.
This truck driver has seen that Holcomb has failed miserably in this fundamental duty. He is a typical Republican machine politician. He only acts when he sticks his wetted finger in the air and feels a gale force wind blowing on one side. Has the political testicles of a gnat. His only principle is to go along to get along and get reelected. The exact kind of Republican that the party establishment Loves and we conservatives despise.
To this truck driver the evidence has been overwhelming during the two major winter storms we have had this year in Indiana. There is no way the major interstates should have been allowed to get as bad as they have and the vehicular carnage has been massive.

An article written on February 17, by Allan Stevo entitled
“Why Artur Pawlowski Matters”
This is a long article but so moving and life affirming. I can’t say how much it has affected me. I wish I could link, but it is easily found.
I have been praying for Pastor Pawlowski, knowing that the tyrannical God hating government of Canada that keeps him in the most deplorable conditions, intends his solitary confinement to be what it so obviously is…torture. Bail has been denied to Pastor Pawloski, so those crimes against humanity will continue. His Bible has been removed.
I’m leaving a very moving part of this article here. I suspect all who will read it will understand why I do so.
“I believe he is one who bows before no man. I believe at the moment of his arrest, when he takes to his knees, he is bowing down before the true authority and quietly praising the Lord. He is deep in prayer, giving thanks for what a good God he serves; he is reciting psalms; he is thanking God for every day of freedom he has had with his wonderful family; he is focusing on the goodness of God in his life, bolstering his faith and reminding himself that no weapon formed against him will prosper. That is what I believe is taking place at such moments. They can do whatever they wish to that man’s body. That man is somewhere else. He is in the bosom of the Almighty as they lug him around like a 250 pound sack of potatoes.”
Finally, I believe with all my heart that Pastor Pawlowski is not alone in his cell. Of all the comfort denied him, this one, his certainty that his Lord is with him, is one his persecutors will not be able to deny him.
God, please be with your good servant Artur and with his family and parishioners who need him. 🙏

Good afternoon, Lonestar, and thank you. You have completed your Act of Kindness💓.
Not to bore, but as you kindly asked yesterday about Wales and Storm Eunice…
We spoke this morning to my husband’s sister, and they are fine. They (she and her friend) are in fact quite secluded and protected where they are, so so far the only damage is a tree of two behind them, dead anyway. The ground is too sodden to walk on, however. Thank goodness they have enough firewood in. They are both about 80, which I can hardly believe. Another round of miserable and potentially destructive weather incoming. So much for the Welsh weather report.
Thanks for the update. glad they are ok. 🙂
Thank you.
Praying

Thank you betsy and lonestar.

Re: Processing Donations: MelH@ sonic.net
I noticed on my Bank Account a charge from PayPal, the amount of my yearly Donation to the Last Refuge. Since I closed my PayPal account long ago, because they bilked me, I was shocked to see they profit from me regardless. When I write to them to dispute them using my credit card , their response is always that I can only reach them by Logging in to Paypal. Since I CLOSED my Paypal account, of course I can no longer log in to ask them why they are using my credit card. The screen here under Donate, seems to give me the choice of donating through Paypal, or donating with a credit card, but obviously that is NOT a choice. I think it should be made clear, since there apparently is no other way to donate except through Paypal or I would have. They are not the righteous out fit they pretend to be, at least in my experience.
Deleted. Wrong info.
I think they misspelled “Castro fils” there.
Libs, Conservatives, and whatever other parties there are there…ALL COMPLICIT! My gosh…the optics are horrifying.
What we are witnessing has nothing to do with a country, government or law authorities has nothing at all to do with freedom or civilization. Quite the opposite.

Many years ago in England pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. “Wet your whistle” is the phrase

There was a movie made in Melbourne in 1959 called ‘On the Beach” staring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner, the plot: after a nuclear war a US submarine surfacers in Melbourne port, the rest of the word is finished and it wouldn’t be long before Melbourne was hit with radioactive fallout and also doomed.
After the movie was finished Ava Gardner was getting on a plane to go back to the US, surrounded by photographers and reporters she was asked a question, what did she think of Melbourne ? Her response was ” I can’t think of a better place to make a movie about the end of the world” 😂😂
A big stink at the time with all the nob heads, but the common people thought it funny !
ms idaho, I have a medical question for you, is that ok?
questions are good
medical answers ??? not guaranteed
health & nutrition surer ground
but I’ll do my best
what’s your question?
I had a violent dream, woke up with a sore foot, couldn’t walk on it, three days later found a hospital that would take a unjabed heathen like myself, x-ray shows damage but nothing broken so they are saying I have gout, everything I’ve looked up is conflicting , like some say tomatoes are bad, others say that’s crap, same as meat !
I don’t drink heavy, but being Aussie have in the past! Thought you might have some “Lucky” advice.
Cheers ☺
Mungrel – ouch…
This from Mayo Clinic – “Gout causes intense pain and swelling around one or more joints. Gout most commonly affects the joint at the base of the big toe. The signs and symptoms of gout almost always occur suddenly, and often at night. They include: Intense joint pain. Gout usually affects the big toe, but it can occur in any joint.”
Might explain your violent dream.
Arthritis is one of the very first nutritional (Nx) protocols that Doc wrote in the early 1990s: MSKPain.pdf (jjconsulting.net)
The products listed are from the company I had, so excuse the proprietary names. The single most important support for any kind of arthritis is a deep water, cold water oily fish. Our Ultra Omega uses salmon oil from Alaska (clean). I imagine you can source same. If you can get it, Black Currant seed oil will stop pain too.
Can you get yucca? 2 of them 3 o4 4 times a day for pain. If you are out and about in the sun you probably have enough Vit D3. MSM is a metabolite of DMSO – either helps pain – be careful tho because either will carry toxins thru the skin.
If you have an interest, all the material we created over the years is available at jjConsulting.net
Please let me know if you have questions.
PS – if you cannot access the pdf I can copy and paste it
The thing about the use of essential fatty acids for arthritis is it stops the progression and may even reverse the problem. Each of us is different (as you know)
Of course, I know nothing about your fish and animals – so you might even have some native critters who have high levels of EFAs. For instance, Deer, Elk, Moose and critters who wander thru the snow in the winter have lots in their legs. Its the reason their legs don’t freeze up – and the reason cold water fish can swim.
ps – fish oil is what is called a precursor for prostaglandin 3
Black currant seed oil is one of a very few plants that produce a prostaglandin 1 precursor. Borage seed oil, primrose oil and arnica to name a few. Check into plants that produce stearidonic acid.
Some essential oils have anti inflammatory and pain relieving properties – tho I am not as familiar with them. Good info here: https://www.nutritionpureandsimple.com/Essential-Oil-EO-Tips-Tricks_b_63.html
hmm – probably more than you wanted. one of my major flaws
Thankyou so very much, I knew you’d come through.
I’ll look at all the information, even if it is a lot.
I just posted on Oliver thread, gates has admitted defeat on Aussie fake news. I think Mungrel has the treehouse scoop of the day 😊😊😊 !
I know its a lot – but I also know you will know how to ‘substitute’ with what you have locally – once you know what you are looking for.
Doc’s philosophy is that the drugs and surgery are always available – if you can’t use nutrition to solve the problem – so we give you lots of ways to do it without drugs
let me know if you have questions.
wow – just wow
No such thing as too much info, IMHO. It’s just wonderful you are here to help. What a blessing (yes, I am eavesdropping).💓
Thanks Betsy
I’ve been holding off on describing the years that Doc and I spent working with doctors and patients who look for alternatives to ‘medicine’. .. over 35 yrs.
I’ll write about it someday if you all want me to
ps – hubby is close
Prayer boomerang sent.
Praying for you, mate. We’ll have to postpone having a beer party. If I remember correctly beer doesn’t mix well with gout.
