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 †

Ghost Doctor is a wonderful Korean drama about a heart surgeon who ends up in a coma, resulting in his becoming one of the hospital’s “coma ghosts.” He discovers that he can possess a first year resident, an inept doctor whose greatest renown is that he’s the grandson of the owner of the hospital. Buddy drama and mystery.
In case the picture doesn’t come in, this music video is Like a Surgeon, by “Weird Al” Yankovic, done to the 16 episode Korean drama, Ghost Doctor.

Mornin, Betsy❣️
How good of you to share your cuppa with kitty. Hard to do belly scratching in that.
Guess you’ve moved onto Java by now.

First cuppa on awakening…moved to coffee…now back to another cuppa. Thank you, my friend, for refilling the pot😘
😜
Ever drink dandelion root tea?
It’s quite good – especially with a bit of lemon and quality honey.
-good for kidneys and liver.
I have not…I have a Sprouts near me…I’ll look.😊
Aaaaaand now I’m back to coffee!😁
Ditto

You haven’t trained it very well…
I feel incredibly stupid. I read your line FOUR times before I figured out the line was about the coffee and not the cat. Adorable.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Hi’ya, Jay. 🙂
Hey Ho Aleena Garrison 🙂
Morning, guys…Mr jay and Garrison. Our Tree’s very own Music Men.🤗
Good morning Bet, jay, and Garrison! Bet, I left you a reply late last night 💗. Getting ready to take Nipper to his game. We didn’t practice last night. He was so tired that he went to sleep in the car and kept sleeping. This morning we watched a few videos on the game rules. And here starts a busy 6 day stretch for me. Will check in here when I have a chance .
You go, Nipper!!! You’ve got the best coach ever!
Bless his heart, G…and bless yours mightily. I’ll check on that reply. See you later. Enjoy your day😘🙏
Answered you, G, right under your reply to me from yesterday.🤗
Ha, ha, I’ll go and check it now. Done with the game, their coach wasn’t there today so the dads pitched in. Eventually the kids will learn what’s it all about. 😂
Now onward to San Antonio where today I’m looking forward to a work out and taking the weed eater to my driveway. 😍
I hope he enjoyed it, or at least will as time goes on. The most important thing in the end is that dad/son, grandad/grandson bonding. No price can you put on that. I look forward to more reports 😁😘
Agree, at the end that’s what matters. He had today mom, great grandma, and both sets of grandparents there. I bought a canopy from Academy last week. Thought it was plug and play but discovered at the field that some assembly was required.
At least it was early enough and cooler. Will be ready for next time.
Saw your response from last night. It’s a pretty big Norwegian female gnat. Big as in tall. Did you know that only the female mosquitoes suck blood? The males feed on nectar. 😘
Hello, Pa❣️
-Good thoughts your way✝️❤️.
Hi Patience! TY ❤️

Mornin’ Gramps! 🙂

Ooooo!!!! So PRETTY, Mr jay. Thank you. A perfect vase after all the tea has been drunk. I’m so glad to have the opportunity to say good morning once again😘
Morning Bet. I’m a bit late arriving today. Lots on my plate it looks like. 🙂
Afternoon, Garrison. I left you a good morning up top, and am so happy to add an afternoon greeting to it.
I hope the “lot” is not disruptive or onerous, my friend. You take it easy and look after yourself. You’re priceless to us.😘
One more . . .

I’m still here, in spite of German MEP advance warning that “today will be a day you remember where you were.” Though not trying to tempt fate, the day is young. If MEPster is correct, farewell my fellow treepsters.
Take heart…Members of the European Parliament are known for many things..but being right about anything is not one of them.
LOL! How true. Not worried since according to the Algore predictions we all died in 2000. 🤣
Grifters all…right?? On that money train…
Right, sis.
from the Quora website
A woman from New York was driving through a remote part of Arizona when her car broke down. An American Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town.
She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off. The ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes the Indian would let out a Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!’ so loud that it echoed from the surrounding hills and canyon walls.
When they arrived in town, he let her off at the local service station, yelled one final ‘Ye-e-e-e-h-a-a-a-a!’ and rode off.
“What did you do to get that Indian so excited?” asked the service-station attendant.
“Nothing,” the woman answered “I merely sat behind him on the horse, put my arms around his waist, and held onto the saddle horn so I wouldn’t fall off.”
“Lady,” the attendant said, “Indians don’t use saddles.”
My early morning laugh..🤣🤣… very funny…

After the conclusion of President Trump’s Save America speech tonight, the standard song, “Sam and Dave – Hold On, I’m Coming”, was played. After that I think I heard David Bowie’s “Heroes”! I could be mistaken?
David Bowie – Heroes
I would respectfully request some help with a subject matter. Recently I posted a comment making a positive connection between Lieutenant General Michael Flynn & President Donald Trump and I was excoriated by numerous other commenters about the evils of General Flynn for betraying President Trump. None of the commenters explained what it was that General Flynn had done to betray President Trump, only that he had.
Today I was remembering the lecture I had received and decided to see what I could find on the Internet by doing a query for the following phrases; “Michael Flynn Betrayed Trump” “Michael Flynn Turned on Trump” “Michael Flynn Joined With Democrats” “Michael Flynn Worked With Democrats”.
All of the query returns were either old information about the FBI’s entrapment of General Flynn or recent information about General Flynn becoming a Holy Warrior and/or General Flynn being at the center of new movement based on conspiracies and Christian nationalism.
Could someone possibly enlighten me as to what it is that General Flynn did against President Trump that was so evil?
Nothing. General Flynn was just getting about assuming his new position with President Trump as National Security Advisor, when FBI Director James Comey say his opportunity to “set him up” to “catch him in a lie” so he sent Peter Strzok over to the White House. General Flynn did NOTHING to betray President Trump or “do him wrong” or “do anything against him”. Nothing.
No one knows what really happened and anyone who THINKS they know, take their opinion with a grain of salt. From the moment this happened it didn’t pass my smell test. Flynn was touted as the super spook of all time, even drove Obama administration crazy. He knew all the players. He knew the traitors and all the inside baseball. Then, practically 1st day on the job, he allows himself to be entrapped by these same players? Comey sent more than Strzok. IIRC there at least 3 agents. So either Flynn was arrogantly full of himself in his new position, a dumbass, or a traitor. Maybe another scenario? IDK, but I do know when things don’t fit and this never fit. Not to mention Pence’s role in it.
That incident flagged both Flynn and Pence as untrustworthy.
Again, no one really knows much of anything. The old sayings aren’t old for no reason. “Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear”.
Flynn didn’t do one damn thing against President Trump. Ozero’s administration HATED Flynn because Flynn knew EXACTLY what Ozero’s Gang had done to politically weaponize the I.C. against Republicans and patriots.
EVERYthing that was done against Flynn – including “Thirty” Pence’s actions – or that was printed or spoken against Flynn was ALL LIES intended to damage his credibility so that he could not as easily convince people of what he saw happen in the Ozero mal-Administration.
Those who remain doubtful of Flynn have exposed themselves of being suckers for Deep State character assassinations, the kind that anyone who has paid any attention over the past 10 years ought to be able to spot a mile away.
He was the test run for the never ending persecution we now see being applied to Mr Trump and all who have any connection with him, no matter how tenuous.
Someday vengeance will indeed be the Lord’s.

Who knows genetics and can tell us about the offspring?
Geisha the cocker and Gabby the cat were laying just like that in the sunbeam coming through the back door yesterday morning. They share.
Each have 4 legs as do the original progenitors.

Morning, Frank😘 …as my 14 year old granddaughter aptly noted of the feline progeny in that picture, why blend in when you cam stand out.
I am reminded of a story I saw recently…
A cow delivered 4 calves, defying great odds.
Their names are Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Moo. 😁
🙂 🙂 😉
Looks like the gray is the more dominant gene than the bengal (or cheetoh or toyger)… but we’d need to see many more litters from this pair than just one….
Gray is the mom, I note
Do you know the sex of each of the kittens?
Despite having many cats over five decades, I never really looked into identifying dominant and recessive genetic features.
Of the 3 or 4 mixed breed (and feral) litters born at our house back in the ’80s, before we could afford to get our cats altered (no “S.N.A.P.” program or low cost vets back then), more females than males had the white underbellies and legs. But that wasn’t exclusive.
Torties-with-white and calicos tended to be females. Males tended to not have those same coloring features, but more frequently displayed tabby (light brown/orange or gray) markings all over or were solid brindles or grays. The only solid blacks we had were females but my son has a solid black male. We’ve never had any “exotic”, “fancy”, or any pure-breed cats. The one large Maine Coon-ish looking cat we had just showed up one day and adopted us. He was pretty old, had a sensitive stomach, and only lived a few years more, but I don’t think he was pure bred.
thx, GB – good to hear a voice of experience
N.P. Experience yes. Expertise..very limited.. 😉

Long day yesterday. It took me almost 4 hours to get the three yards mowed. A little extra time was involved because this time of year the big cottonwood in my backyard is dropping leaves and I grind them up every time I mow which takes extra passes. I consumed three beers in that time. I had to stop and put on a sweatshirt about halfway through. But the Chili was awaiting me on the stove when I got done. After eating two bowls I hit the shower. I don’t know if I want to put the kitchen floor back together today or clean and reorganize the garage. This cool weather seems like the time to do the later task because it will be warming up again but man it sure would be nice to get the kitchen back whole again.
Your post yesterday inspired making a pot of chili with some garden tomatoes, before I mowed the lawn.
Are beans in your chili?
Morning, Patience and Ma🤗🤗
In this house, always beans! Plus cheese and sometimes sour cream right before serving…just a dollop.
(and now I wait for the brick bats and purists on that last addition😁…only sometimes)
Yep. A thin slice of baby Swiss on top a steaming bowl melts right in and become wonderfully stringy.
Hadn’t tried Swiss. But I surely will now! Thanks for the tip😁
Beans it is!
Years ago I went to chili cook-offs with some friends who used to enter the contests. No beans were allowed!!!
They never won for their chili, but did place first for booth decorations … (thanks to my creative works; ahem).
Tequila, beer and salsas rocked though.
– oh….. yesterdays.
Oh yay, it just might have been the painting of (toooo many to count) children’s faces that helped them win. 🙈
Oh SWEET!!!
😂 Credit where it is due, Patience. Never hide your light under a bushel. And as that is Biblical, you can take that as Gospel.😊
I bet it was gawgeous!! Yesterdays…about the best place to take a “road trip”…costs nothing but oh the pleasures in them.
*sigh*
Sorry, I should have read further down. Yes, ICS Chili, no beans. That’s why the comments above. ICS, founded by Carrol Shelby.
Beef, beans and grated jalapeño cheese and just a sprinkle of cold diced Vidalia onion or scallion 🌶
Good morning, Parichute!!! It’s been a while. I hope you and all you love are very well.
And as I know you to be one of the best cooks, this is something I will definitely try. That’s the nice thing about chili…it works so well as a backdrop for all sorts of toppings. Thank you! Blessings, girl🙏💕
There is no “purist” when it comes to Chili. Chili started as a concoction of what ever the maker had available. So there is no original recipe. I remember that fact from an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown.
I make a BBQ Chicken, three bean, not Chili. Kidneys, pintos, and black beans.
It’s your kitchen who cares what someone else’s recipe is. Or different strokes for different folks. 🤪
Oh yea! Kidney beans, Chili beans, and black beans. Sherry also adds a tube of ground Italian sausage to the ground beef.
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!
-with a hunk of bread.
Oh, yay😋
If you use hot Italian sausage, you don’t need as much “powdered” seasonings.
Sometimes white beans for presentation.👀
Ain’t no beans in Chili. Your not from around here are ya. LOL.
Have a great Saturday, hope your Chili comes out great!
Had all kinds of meat-only chili; with scrumptious meats, but,
I do love them beans in my chili. 🤠
Now I want some……….
The only time we make or use no bean chili around here is for coney dogs.
You are right but with no beens in chili you don’t toot, unless it’s venison chili. 😁
The weather made the decision for me. It’s the floor. Wet outside and rain in the forecast tonight.
I think I will make chili. We use ground pork because my wife can not eat beef. Ground pork is hard to find. I have thought about getting a meat grinder to make my own. Good chili requires good spices. I buy mine from a place in NYC of all places. My Spice Sage. Great quality and prices.
I once made a seafood chili that was really good. Used shrimp, clams and farm-raised catfish. It was an expensive pot of chili. It was almost a gumbo.
As for beans: Yes, if you like, but no pasta!
https://www.myspicesage.com/
Sometimes really small cubed potato can be good too.
See what you started, rah?😂…it’s all good, especially if there is chili involved.
We are going to have to wait a bit…autumn it may be on the calendar, but Texas hasn’t gotten the memo. Soon we hope.
53 deg. when I woke up this morning at 07:30. High to be 73 but it cools down again this afternoon. So still pretty good chili weather. Be taking a plastic container of it to Dad today. He and his care givers will enjoy it.
How generous you are to include those who care for him, rah. But of course you would. They’ll all appreciate it I know. I hope your dad is managing all right with that good assistance. Is he far from you?
Happy Sappy Saturday! 🙂

September 24 Oswald Chambers
The “Go” of Preparation
If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. —Matthew 5:23-24
It is easy for us to imagine that we will suddenly come to a point in our lives where we are fully prepared, but preparation is not suddenly accomplished. In fact, it is a process that must be steadily maintained. It is dangerous to become settled and complacent in our present level of experience. The Christian life requires preparation and more preparation.
The sense of sacrifice in the Christian life is readily appealing to a new Christian. From a human standpoint, the one thing that attracts us to Jesus Christ is our sense of the heroic, and a close examination of us by our Lord’s words suddenly puts this tide of enthusiasm to the test. “…go your way. First be reconciled to your brother….” The “go” of preparation is to allow the Word of God to examine you closely. Your sense of heroic sacrifice is not good enough. The thing the Holy Spirit will detect in you is your nature that can never work in His service. And no one but God can detect that nature in you. Do you have anything to hide from God? If you do, then let God search you with His light. If there is sin in your life, don’t just admit it— confess it. Are you willing to obey your Lord and Master, whatever the humiliation to your right to yourself may be?
Never disregard a conviction that the Holy Spirit brings to you. If it is important enough for the Spirit of God to bring it to your mind, it is the very thing He is detecting in you. You were looking for some big thing to give up, while God is telling you of some tiny thing that must go. But behind that tiny thing lies the stronghold of obstinacy, and you say, “I will not give up my right to myself”— the very thing that God intends you to give up if you are to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Jesus Christ can afford to be misunderstood; we cannot. Our weakness lies in always wanting to vindicate ourselves.

PETA Germany Threatens Sex Strike Unless Climate Destroying Meat is Banned – Watts Up With That?
LOL! At least they aren’t gluing themselves to places and things. I really don’t see a downside to this. We sane and stable people are better off when the neurotic morons among us don’t breed.
Agreed. No downside. 👉💪
Better I suppose than what the Greenies in Britain are doing…setting themselves on fire, as one unhinged soul did on the tennis court a couple of days ago right before Roger Federer’s match as a protest against fossil fuels.
I did not read the article. Did he set himself on fire with a solar cell or a wind turbine?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! BOOM, VM!
Actually lighter fluid (on his arm), a lighter, and guess what? Much to his shock there was pain and profanity. Lots of the latter. He didn’t stay “on fire” for long.

While in the Army I made a couple of TDY trips to Germany before I met Sherry. In my experience, it would be a sad individual that would have to resort to that. I never paid for it, there was no need for me to do so, but I remember that when one departed the Iconic train station with its glass cover at Frankfort Rhein Main there were blocks of “Erocenters” 6-8 stories high.
Hmmm… I think maybe it’s best I don’t ask what “TDY” means.
I should know and do know in fact, Slowcobra. Just can’t remember.
Okay…hubby looked it up…
Temporary Duty.
There ya go!😉
That’s right. My first TDY was just to Jump from a C-141. Then we had a week to play while living at Flint Kaserne in Bad Tolz and could go wherever we wanted. My second TDY there was for mountain climbing training. My third was to attend a clandestine urban training course in Berlin. Spy kind of stuff,cellular structures and clandestine communications like dead drops, concocting and using invisible inks, reducing coded messages onto a tiny piece of film called a micro chip and how to enlarge it to read it. All kinds of snoop and poop stuff.
Then in January 1986 I PCSed (Permanent Change of Station) to 1st Bn., 10th SFG(A) at Flint Kaserne for three years.
What a life you’ve had.
My son joined the Navy long ago and served 5 years. “Join the Navy and See the World,” it was always said. But so many who did never saw any of it.
He on the other hand saw it almost all. Much of where he was stationed he could not tell us. But had he been a civilian and done that amount of traveling, the miles he racked up would have been something else.
Italy, Scotland, Japan, Norway were just a few of the places.
Never made it to the far east and if I hit the lottery I would be visiting various battlefields in the Pacific since I have visited many in Europe. Spent time in almost all of the Countries of Europe that were not behind the iron curtain. Plus Lebanon, Liberia, and Nigeria.
One thing different though. I actually spent time on the ground in many og those countries with the people and/or their military usually. Portugal (except the Azors), Finland, and Sweden are the exceptions.
Those battlefields in Europe are so beautiful. My husband used to drive coaches from Britain there for the battlefield tours. Once seen, one is never really the same. They make their mark.
thanks betsy!
phew, I thought it had something to do with brothels because of the link rah replied to! Lol
😂😂😂😂😂!! I can see why you’d think so. Phew indeed!
….
What has the world come to.🤪
Asked and answered.
I like that!
FYI apparently corn prices are on the move, I buy cornmeal all the time, currently restocking items as availability and room permits.
Bought 25 lbs of cornmeal on the 14th, was going to buy another bag for delivery on or after the 26th depending on stock status on additional items only to find that it has risen by 88%…. so I am buying out Walmart’s current stock of 5 pounders @ 3.24 each (old per lb price for me).
Perhaps this is just the threat of railroad strikes or something else IDK.
Guess I also need to restore my stock of can corn before it reaches that as well @ its already an extra 1.29 per 4 pack over what it sold at before WuFlu.
One thing is for sure, food will not be going down in price anytime soon.
I checked Owensboro Elevator and cash price September is $6.72 with futures as high as $7. Historic high was just last April at $8. Does not appear to be moving. You might want to consider making your own meal. It is not that hard to make. You have to have a grinder and a source for corn. Make friends with a farmer. Most of them will allow gleaning at harvest and you can easily collect all you will ever need. I can collect 5-10 bushels in a couple of hours in those places the combine misses.
https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/corn-price
https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/corn-price
Wish I could make my own, have previously looked (priced) for a grinder to make wheat flour when it went up 50% last year. ($10.00), not really cost effective since I need one big enough to do 250 lb of flour a month.
I already have a meat grinder attachment on my 20 qt mixer #10 hub, & make my own sausage, used to grind beef to but COVID kinda messed availability of realistically priced beef.
I am way to far from anyone planting corn around here that I know of, back when I lived in Indiana corn would not have been a problem.
I’ll keep watching the price, I am mostly stocked up for the next 6 months, probably grab another 5×5 once Wally’s restocks from me buying them out.
Uncertain on why they would they would go up 88 percent in the last 10 days other than just like the gov, they can and will screw you when they want to.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Oh how lovely!! Good morning, ms Idaho!
I was thinking of you yesterday, wondering how things were progressing. Hoping that they were as the last time you posted about your post op. In fact praying that the situation would be even better.🤗
Betsy – kind of you to ask
its’ a ‘yes, but’
The surgery was a success in that the objective was to lower pressure in the eye. pressure measured on Thursday was 7 – YAY.
What was and is unknown – how much damage to the optic nerve?
Vision MAYBE a LITTLE better than before surgery.
God answered my (and your) prayers – I can still see. There is a huge difference between what each eye ‘sees’. It is said the optic nerve does not ‘revive’.
Goal going forward – avoid increasing eye pressure. Avoid more damage to optic nerve.
Other than that Mrs Lincoln, the play is going fine
🙂
Goodaye to all
Under the circumstances then, it is in a holding pattern? Now that is a prayer answered. Hallelujah! So the prayer plan going forward remains in place. We’ve been heard…and answered!😘
(love the Mrs Lincoln reference, one I know well. One of the absolute best😁)
Hi there!!!!
I read your ‘hi there’ and raise you – hugs back

Amen❣️

That makes Spurgeon my brother.
Your post helps me skip into my day.
Thank you. Very much.
I have felt for a long time that the world today, more so than any recent times I can remember, is full of God’s thunderclaps. I can hear them.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
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.

How about a little fun this morning?
And if I catch you comin’ back my way

And that ain’t what you want to hear
But it’s what I’ll do
I bet Garrison would be interested in these. Hope he sees them.

In case you didn’t notice the NHC track for IAN has shifted a bit west at Cuba and a bit north at Florida since yesterday. That is the uncertainty that I was talking about yesterday. The steering influences are determined by the ability of the GFS and European models to accurately forecast the weather patterns and as I suspect everyone here knows they often are off on the timing of the arrival and the intensity of the weather from a given front. And in this case they are having to forecast those factors from several different influences.
In short this is a complex situation with more pieces to the puzzle than usual and accurately forecasting the time and location of IANS turn north is the big problem. The further west IAN goes before turning, the further off the original track forecast will be. I am eagerly awaiting what Joe Bastardi says about this today.
Do advise when you “hear” from Joe🙏
Prepare for the worst, pray for the best.
One other note: If this storm is a major and the windward side goes up Tampa Bay it is going to be a very major disaster. Corrupt politicians over the years have allowed major development in the natural flood plains of that city. When the windward side of the eye wall of a powerful storm goes up a bay the storm surge is channelized and its intensity of significantly magnified.
The ocean under the eye of a powerful hurricane bulges up due to the low atmospheric pressure. Then the wind blows the waves on top of the bulge forward. Then add the channeling effect in the relatively shallow waters of a bay and you have the formula for a perfect storm and major disaster.
As you can see the track keeps migrating further west while the cone of uncertainty remains huge.
There are reports from alternate news sources that there is an attempted military coup occurring in the PRC as I write this and that Xi Jinping is under house arrest. This is one of several from various sources.
Is Chinese President Xi Jinping under house arrest? BJP leader Subramanian Swamy weighs in as rumours swirl (timesnownews.com)
That would be epic, literally.
just another CIA mess up, rah. the big guy not getting enough money from China. Not to worry, Xi still in charge. Lots of shooting. huge military build up. watched Independence Day couple nights ago and happy to see DC destroyed.
It has been debunked.
Betsy, I’m still seeing reports that 1. trouble in Himalayas war with India; 2. Xi under house arrest; 3. war games. who debunked it? who started it?
I found the article on Liberty Daily, merrie. Yes…just checked and it is one of the two main headlines still up.
Betsy, John Hindenraker at PowerLine just posted “Is Xi out?” somebody named Gordon Chaing says probably not but something is going on in China for the last three days. country unstable.
Oh no, Nurse Ratched has died.

A bit of good election news coming out of Nevada.
Current Trafalgar Poll shows Laxalt at 47% and Masto at 43%.
Joe Bastardi has his Saturday Summary out. He has still not settled on a definite track and tells you why. Scroll down to the video. It isn’t long.

Basically this storm still has multiple centers fighting it out to see which become dominate and until there is one it is very difficult to predict its track. Levi Cowen is saying that the “Consolidation” of the storm centers will occur tonight and after that it will be easier to forecast a more accurate track.
Just had a big bowl of chili. As always it is even better after a night in the fridge.
