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 †

Happy Caturday, y’all … cats rule, dogs drool
Happy Catur …. no, wait …
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍
Biden?
Trash panda got caught!
Ha! For some reason I’m now hearing the Mission Impossible theme song.
A long time ago we had two inside/outside kittens. And I put food outside for them.
Pro-Tip: If you feed an outside cat or kittens you do NOT, I repeat NOT only feed an outside cat/kittens.
You feed: coons/possums/birds/dogs/SKUNKS (yes, skunks) and anything else that figures out food is involved.
The coons were cute, at least the smaller ones. Larger ones are meaner than SIN! I got sick and tired of them robbing the kittens blind right in front of them. I came home one night and heard the cat bowls getting ravaged outside the back door, threw it open and scared off an entire HERD of coons. One of the smaller and extremely cute ones climbed up into the grill and on top of the gas tank, where there was barely room for it, and froze. I pulled the other door open and realized he pinned himself, grinned, and reached out to pet his back since he couldn’t possibly get me. He glared at me and sorta hissed while the rest of the herd stood there about twenty feet away and stared.
My wife got sick and tired of picking up the trash as the furry little bandits rummaged through it nightly, knocking over the trash cans having a big time.
Of course, she let me know about this. EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
A couple of mornings later I heard them in the trash as I was getting ready for work. I stepped out of the shower (bear in mind it was around 4AM) and looked down out of the upstairs bathroom window and they were having a field day.
I didn’t even dry off. I dragged on underwear and grabbed my belt (first thing I saw) and went downstairs and out the door as fast as I could.
Boy, were they surprised when I yanked that door open. I’m sure the neighbors woulda been, too.
I’m reasonably sure I’m the only redneck to ever spank a herd of those furry bandits with a belt, while only wearing underwear, at 4AM, in the history of ever. As they scattered, one of them somehow got on top of an as yet unturned over trash can which already had a lid knocked off. I looked and saw a shovel, and stuck it in the can under him and flipped him into the darkness.
I borrowed a friend’s cage trap and pulled nine (9) of those furry little devils out of my back yard in three weeks. Not to mention a possum.
I let them all go near a creek on my way to work.
And I was THANKFUL I didn’t have the bad luck to catch a skunk in that trap like my buddy did!
That’s another story for another time.
Anyhow, the little guy in that vending machine is cute as can be!
Haha! “…in the history of ever.”
Had the same situation. When they cornered one of the neighbors cats and surrounded him — that was it for outside dining
What a laugh and how frustrating !
The untold story of keeping chickens is that no matter there are always crumbs about….and those crumbs attract everything that walks or flies
Greg, burnished forever …belt spanking & undies. 🤠
Happy Saturday
Morning, ladies…💕🌷💕
Yes, that’s the picture that will stick with me forever. Vividly😎
Racoons are crafty little devils. I’d like to watch him get out of this one.
I read about a gas station owner getting upset about being short changed on his vending machine. He set up a camera. It was a squirrel 🐿️ sneaking in and ripping off one candy bar at a time. His favorite was a payday because they have lots of nuts. 🥜
“None shall pass.”
“Yawns.”
And none passed….
All cute critters.
Good morning Bet! Ha ha, this guy can come and try that in my yard. An inch of dirt for the grass to grow and the rest is limestone. On the flip side it will do wonders for his manicure. 😂❤️
And a good morning to you, my dear pedalling bro😁💕
Our sprinkler system repair man could have used him the other day😂
love that one, Bet
I don’t know why that’s tickled me, nim. I’m still laughing over your captive raccoon😂😂😂

Such a lonely scene.

See this way too often.
What an accurately worded statement!
Looks like a high school class trip.

Were I the teacher, that would be my grading criteria exactly.
As I listen to Clara & finish my very late supper …. thanks Bet.
Most welcome, my friend 😁👍🏻
Should have told them (if they were students) prior to the visit, phones in their bags. I would have…but that’s just me😎
Hope you enjoy that concerto, Magic. She composed other works, but I found this one delightful.
Late supper???!??!? Do you ever sleep?? Bon appetite, good sir😘
Was really busy yesterday, today as well, Sunday and Wednesday are sleep in catch up days.
My schedule is should be sleep 6am to 2-4 pm but depends on what i’m doing cooking wise to restock whatever is in demand, next week sausage as i’m about out.
I’d hold the teacher(s) responsible for failing to confiscate all students’ cellphones prior to entering the museum.
Aaaaaand BOOM, GB!! But that’s just too much like common sense.

In my humble opinion, La Grange is the best driving song ever written… unless you inend to avoid a speeding ticket. <g> You can hear the highway moving under you just listenint
Agreed. Pulling into the faculty parking lot—windows down, sunroof open “La Grange” at full volume . . . was a perfect way to start what was for many years the absolute best job in the world . . . 🙂
Morning Garrison!
Good morning, Gramps! 🙂 Despite the heat, have a great Saturday!
Same to you Garrison! I think that I’ll enjoy the rest of my Saturday inside. 🙂 Had a trip to town earlier todat too gas up my old hunting truck. The gas was up by 30 cents /gallon.
Classic ZZ Top!
Always gets 5 stars from me.
Thanks, and Howdy Garrison!

Mornin’ Bet. Hope you have a great day. ‘Tink wanted to stay outside last night—she likes her back yard and seems to get along fine with most of the nocturnal critters. Except roof rats which I think she hunts. Nonetheless, she was waiting at the back door when I got up this morning. She has become a dear little kitty and has definitely claimed yours truly as “her” person..
Now that is enough to warm any heart, dear friend. She knows she’s loved and safe with you. What could be better than to have that honour bestowed? I’m sure there’s something. I just can’t think of anything at the moment🤗💕

Video of a song from the French Revolution based musical 1789 Les Amants de la Bastille, Ca Ira Mon Amour.
Paroles de la chanson Ca Ira Mon Amour par 1789, Les Amants De La BastilleCette peur qui me déshabille
Pour avoir osé ton nom sur ma peau
Et ces pleurs qui te démaquillent
Viennent emporter ma raison sous les flots
Malgré tous
Les regards qui fusillent
Près de nous
L’étendard qui vacille
Après tout
On s’en moque/moc,moc,moc…
ça ira mon amour
ça ira pour toujours
allons amants déclamez nos serments
interdits
ça ira mon amour
on oubliera les tambours
sur tout les murs j’écrirais je le jure liberté chérie
J’ai rêvé nos corps qui se touchent
Caressé l’esprit de nos idéaux
J’ai posé ma langue sur ta bouche
Savourer l’essence de tes moindres mots
Malgré tous
Le désir est fragile
Près de nous
Le plaisir en péril
Après tout
On s’en moque/moc,moc,moc…
ça ira mon amour
Ah ! ça ira pour toujours
allons à mort déclamez nos serments
interdits
ça ira mon amour
on oubliera les tambours
sur tout les murs j’écrirais je le jure liberté chérie
Mon amour
C’est ta vie que j’épouse
En ce jour
Serti de roses rouge
Allons amants
Il faut rire et danser
Voilà le printemps…libéré
ça ira mon amour
On écrira le grand jour
Je t’offrirai mes nuits pour la vie
C’est promis
Ah !ça ira mon amour
Ah ! ça ira pour toujours
Allons amants déclamer nos serments
Interdits
ça ira mon amour
on oubliera les tambours
sur tout les murs j’écrirais je le jure Liberté.
That made my heart beat just a little faster! 😻 😻 😻 Oh, you French!!!

Ad rem . . . I tried twice tonight but for some reason my ZZTOP videos didn’t transfer. Can you help? If they’ve gone walkabout I can always repost tomorrow . . . Not a biggie, love . . .
I found ’em! Both posts were in the bin. They’re now posted just a little ways upthread.
I’m guessing they were trashed because one of the videos contained a blocked word in the hidden list of code – regretfully. 🙁 (It’s a shame we have to list certain words, but you’d be surprised how many people continue to use them.)
As always, your kind help is much appreciated, Ad rem. Didn’t know about the blocked word. I sometimes don’t preview music performances that are more or less familiar to me.
I have to get an All Region Disc Player soon, I have three fabulous musicals I want to groove on, this one looks to be the most moving and well done, but Mozart Rock Opera is pretty fun too!
You’re telling me I won’t be able to find it on Amazon Prime, right? 🙁 The Mozart Rock Opera looks good too! Would a VPN allow me to watch? I know it works for British telly…
Pour vous!

Not sure if these below are clips from a more sophisticated variation of the production, or just really cool videos they produced, seems likely just cool videos . . . I’m still exploring, but I’m definitely a CD and Disc kind of guy, in fact, I just received my copy of this very production along with CDs of the tunes, but don’t want to watch it on my ‘puter, even though my ‘puter is actually pretty cool and unique and great sounding, I want these on the big screen soon! I’ll make an effort to find variations of these many musicals that can be accessed on line, with or without VPN, and bring them here to share, happy to have others join my madness! 🤪
This here is an album playlist that will play all the songs straight through:
Enjoi!
Maquis! Merci mille fois!!!
My Saturday night will now be complete! 😘 🍾 🇫🇷
Was all prepared to move to a “free” Firefox-ready VPN . . . at the last minute discovered that the “free app” connected to a Russian server. Nope, nope, nope. Lesson: read available reviews before downloading VPN or similar apps.
Oh my!!
Quite the collaboration with Ad rem, Maquis. Thank you for giving our branch a French musical boost this morning. Wonderful!💕
Enjoy your weekend, cher ami..
Merci, chere soeur.
Smiling, Cariad. Most welcome.😘
Y’all remember this piece of epicness?
I checked out the source of the tune someone set this to and it’s a wild Swedish Metal Band whose shtick is basing all of their songs on historical martial themes, the one in question here is called Carolus Rex, about Swedish King Charles VII who took the throne at 15 having been raised to rule as an absolute monarch. As shticks go, this is pretty legit.
All embrace me
It’s my time to rule at last
Fifteen years have I been waiting
To sit upon my throne
No allegiance
I will swear no oath
Crowned by god not by the church
As my power is divine
They thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time has come
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies
See Carolus rise
With the lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies
See Carolus rise
To the skies
See Carolus rise
Proved in battle
Led my men to victory
No man alive or dead commands me I answer to the Lord
Hear my orders
Question me and die
What I say was said in heaven
And so it shall be done
I know I was destined to rule alone
All for myself I have claimed the throne
Born to rule
My time is now
I was chosen by heaven
Say my name when you pray
To the skies
See Carolus rise
With the lord my protector
Make them bow to my will
To the skies See Carolus rise
To the skies
See Carolus rise
[Spoken words by Joakim Brodén:]
Framåt Karoliner
Fiendens dom är här
Låt oss krossa dom
Kasta in dom genom helvetets portar
All that’s thine shall be mine, there’s no stopping me
All over Europe my rule shall be questioned by none
All I see give to me, that is my decree
My will be done
They thought I was too young to rule the land
Just as they failed to understand
Born to rule
My time is now
I’d forgotten…that’s my smile for the day😁👍🏻
Good morning all.
Concerning those high sea surface temperatures that have been being hyped in the news.
How To Push a Climate Crisis Hoax: Florida’s Record Ocean Temperature • Watts Up With That?
Climate Fakery Part 17 – YouTube
My standard approach to all climate news is to blurt a suitable expletive and move on.
It’s always lies, bad science, distortions, and endless fear mongering only a fool marinated in obliviousness could swallow.
Appreciate the details on their latest farce.
G’day Rah!
I met a lady the other night who was talking environment stuff and of course climate change came up.
I asked her –
Do you actually believe the climate change lies?
Do you think it’s actually bad?
Do you think we can actually make any difference?
I’m pretty sure, going by her response, that I’m the first person she’s met who doesn’t believe in this rubbish.
I also told her that we could do so much good for the environment if we spent the money on the actual environment rather than the carbon lies, which are harmful to the environment.
I will most likely see her again. Each time, I will plant another seed. Maybe one day I can inspire some change.
You go girl!!!!! I was going to say that critical thinking is in short supply.
But I fear thinking at all in any form is nonexistent for those who are prepared to swallow whole what is being dished out. And that seems to be most.
Yes it’s critical thinking, but it’s also curiosity and questioning. People also seem to be too trusting of institutions.
I also think that when you’re surrounded by one voice from many people, you tend to believe it. I think it’s healthy for her to experiment an alternative opinion.
There’s a man in this same group who I’ve been challenging on a few topics, too. We have a referendum coming around October regarding Aboriginal people. It sounds innocent, but it’s evil. He told me he’s now changed from voting yes to being on the fence.
Well you keep on changing minds and hearts, dear rach. Not an easy thing to tackle.
This is why censorship is crucial for people who are trying to foist such evil on everyone. One voice, no debate. Which is a terrible evil in itself.
Not surprised as a Treeper of long standing that you are blooming where you’ve been planted. Godspeed, my Aussie friend👍🏻😘
Yes, we also have censorship here. Through freedom of information enquiries, we found out that our government also asked Big Tech to silence us through covid.
And now there’s a new federal proposal about misinformation and disinformation. They asked for public feedback, but I assume they’ll ignore us.
I don’t know how people are not seeing that this is not freedom. Or perhaps they know but are on the wrong side.
I also don’t know how politicians think they and their kids/grandkids will somehow be exempt from the oppression – it looks a lot like they must not know basic history.
I’m so grateful for the Treehouse, where I am amongst others who also have their eyes open.
may i jump in here
please , please let me
ever get the feeelin somethin just feels right
this back n forth
right here
feels right
so cool , if peeps could just talk like this
like these two peeps
talkin
its nice
Yes, this is so lovely.
But people should also be able to have a friendly conversation when they have opposing views.
The best outcome always follows a robust debate rather than a one sided decision. When we cut debate, our society is much worse off.
As we get wealthier we choose to make the environment better.
A people’s wealth strongly correlates with their energy use.
Conclusion 1: To improve the environment, bring other people up to our wealth levels by helping them use energy too.
Conclusion 2: To destroy the environment, take energy use away from wealthy people.
We are actively doing #2. And getting people involved by lying to them about how energy is destroying the environment.
Exactly. Poverty breeds pollution.
That’s an interesting and excellent argument. I shall be sure to use it. Thanks!!
Print out some of the serious arguments refuting the climate change “crisis” and carry them with you for the next time you meet her… you can then give her some reading material to help her in her journey to reality
I am not quite at that point yet. I think maybe in a few weeks I can try that. I don’t want to push anyone away. I need them to listen.
IOW Backwater BS?
Notice the name of the Bay. That is a dead give away for those that know that Manatees love warm water. During the winter they seek out and congregate at places with waters warmer than other places.
At Crystal River there is large Generating Complex on the west coast of Florida. They had 4 large coal fired units and one nuclear. Unit 3, the nuclear one was shut down several years ago. Though they cool the water they use before they return it to the ocean via a channel, that water is still significantly warmer than the ocean. During the winter months steam rises from it. Manatees congregate there during the winter months.
Shallow water is generally always warmer. At many places along the west (Gulf side) coast of the northern half of Florida one has to go 20 miles out from the shore to reach water over 20 feet deep.
Nuff said.
As per Joe Bastardi:
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Which is why he’s the best there is, rah…he knows💕
Really wants his Sushi
Good luck opening that on your own, Pup!
I always stay away from “gas station” Sushi. But I noticed that in this case the label is in Japanese.

Not sure about the caption, maybe it’s a foreign culture thing?

Try to Remember
Brothers Four
Tennessee Waltz (1956)
Patti Page
7/29/2023 – He will teach you all things
John 14:26 “But the Comforter (Paraclete, [the One] called in to help), Who is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you.”
The Holy Ghost brought to each of the apostles’ remembrance particular aspects in the events that took place, to each one according to his appointed testimony. Each and every one of us who believe in Jesus, and are His saved disciples, have our own unique witness to bear, of all that we have seen and heard and learned from Him; and know what great things Jesus has done for us, and had mercy on us. All together, both individually, and as the whole great congregation of God’s elect; we glorify Jesus; and are made signs and wonders to instruct the world unto Christ for salvation.
What then may seem to some as difficult to reconcile, or contradictions; (especially with those who tend to like rather, and so gravitate toward, finding something to accuse, and dismiss entirely as anything that concerns them); are in truth the multifarious aspects of the Most High, who condescends, to gently reveal to us, as we are able to bear it. But again, He does not come to reveal Himself, nor to dwell in the heart, of those who do not love Him, and do not keep His words.
But to those who reject knowledge, He makes their minds reprobate, worthless; and inasmuch as they desired not to be kept in by the Spirit of God, in moral rectitude; so are they given over to that unclean and perverted image they chose, to dishonor their bodies between themselves. Both on an individual basis, and as entire nations and peoples; the hidden things of God are manifested in the things created; every one after his kind.
John 14:22-26 “Judas says unto Him, (not Iscariot), Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our abode with him. He that loves Me not keeps not My sayings: and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. These things have I spoken to you, being still present with you. But the Comforter (Paraclete, [one] called in to help), who is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you.”
We know that we know Him; and He has given us an understanding; an understanding that the world has no access to, and is a determined enemy to fight against. The servant is not above his master, and the disciple is not above his teacher; the opposition and contradiction, the pride and contempt, the hostility and abuse, that they show toward us; is what they show toward Jesus, and toward the Father who sent Him. The words we speak, which the Holy Spirit has taught us and put in our mouths; the understanding that God has given to us, and how He has opened and expounded the Scriptures to us; which we then turn to give to the people in the Name and mercy of Jesus; is not our understanding, or our words; but God’s, who has given them to us. Why to us, and not to everyone else; especially those whom we know are better than us? because we love the Lord and keep His sayings; and they do not.
The haters of the Lord are ordained of God to be offended and stumble because of the grace and acceptance and respect that God has bestowed on us; while they are rejected. God knows, and He is always faithful to tell them; that if they would do right, they shall also be blessed. But they do not approve of those terms, that they should necessarily be the ones who need to do right to be accepted; for the devil in their heart holds them back from acknowledging the truth, by pride and lies in rebellion. God does not reveal Himself to them, because they are not worthy; while those who fear God, and are broken and ashamed for their sins, and seek mercy and reconciliation; (all things which the proud refuses to do); this one finds the Lord gracious and full of compassion and righteous.
The present evil world that we must pass through to be purified and proven, before we come home to God; is set against the LORD, and against His Anointed. They wish to break the bands and cast away the cords, and do all to NOT kiss the Son, and do homage to the Savior of the world. Our course in life is all against the course of this world, and to all the thoughts and intents of its heart. All that Jesus has said to us, and given us an example by His own walk, for us to follow; is to form in us the character and behavior, indeed the very nature of our Father in heaven. That which we will ever meet in this world, comes against us for evil; but God has already designed it aforetime for our good, that He might bring about this great salvation.
We have nothing to fear from the men of this world, whose power ends with the death of our bodies; and we have nothing to be intimidated by them, who know not what they do. The contention and contradiction that they are struggling so badly with; is their insubordination, and their marriage to their sins; and our being the trophies of God’s grace, exposes them as what they are without God; and so they have to do everything to silence that witness, and kill that conviction. And all their screaming and hollering, all their outrage and contempt, all their absolutely refusing to believe it; cannot make the truth of the Lord and His grace wrought in us, of none effect. Man’s unbelief has no power to annul the Eternal Living Almighty God and His word!
1 John 4:2-6 “Hereby know you the Spirit of God, every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God; and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God; and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world; therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God; he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”
Anyone here can post You Tube?
YTG is tech deficient.
Anyway, the video is “Let it Rain” Live from Daryl’s house by Quinn Sullivan.
The kid was 18 when he did it, and he’s flat phenomenal.
Good, but not what I expected. “Live from Daryl’s House was a neat concept where Daryl and his band invited guests over to play together and eat together. It started as an internet show, made it’s way to TV. And it was originally at Daryl’s house. But he eventually bought a venue he named Daryl’s House and moved the show to that venue.
The show typically has the group singing songs that the invited guest made and songs from Daryl’s old playbook. With Daryl and the guest singing different verses. Sometimes new arrangements are attempted. Always a chef is brought in to cook and conversations are shared at the dining table. And you are given glimpses of how prepared everybody is, how they communicate about the music, and those great occasions when everybody is enjoying making music.
So I was disappointed not to have him playing with Daryl and his band. But it was live, it was at Daryl’s House venue, and it even used Daryl’s House drum set.
what device do you use to post ? your phone or ipad or ?
Desk top. I’m wayyyyyyy technology impaired.
And thanks for posting that video. Hope you enjoyed it.
The kid started playing when he was 3.
i loved it ♥️
i’m going to educate myself about him, lol
thank you ..
and follow maquis’ instructions, you can do it
YTG, find your video, right click on the url address on your browser, on the menu that pops up click “copy,” then come here, right click in the comment block where you want it to appear, then select “paste” from the menu.
It’s that simple, and practice makes perfect. 😊
Standing applause!!
Kinda disappointed the audience on the video did’t do that .
It was deserved.
NOW:
I’m utilizing this thread on an ongoing basis to get some
interest going on the next Bud Light. We see how successful
that isolating one item that pissed people off and making it
tank was.
I propose the next entity to ge the Bud Light treatment is
Fulton County, Ga. For their nefarious DA that
is hell bent in indicting and railroading Trump.
How might this be done? Simple. If you travel east to west ,
north to south and are anywhere below the Carolinas or
above Florida or the Alabama or Mississippi Gulf coast
( left out Tennessee) , you will almost assuredly be driving
through Fulton County, GA in your travels.
It’s actually 3 counties rolled into one. North to South
youi’re in it for an hour. On good traffic days (which are
rate) . East to West is equivalent.
All roads go through Fulton County, GA. At least 1-75,
1-85, 285, I-20, and 285.
Also, damn near the majority of flights wind up at
Hartsfield airport (refuse to call it Jackson).
Fulton tries to indict and jail Trump? Do y0u want
to give one red cent to a county that is trying that?
So, on your travels make sure to gas up, eat, get a hotel
room, get flights, go to sports events, or concerts
ANYWHERE other then Fulton County, GA.
Braves games are in Cobb, but the money is still tied
into Fulton.
Pass this onto friends. If you live in metro Atlanta start
making notice of what county you’re traveling in if you
plan to get gas or a meal.
If you’re going South to Florida on 1-75 , get a motel before
Lake Alatoona. Or after McDonoujgh. Reverse this if traveling
north. If you’re going on 1-85, try to gas before Satellite
Boulevard. Better yet, before Gwinnett County.. If you’re heading
East on 1-85, gas up or stay no later then Peachtree City or
Fayetteville. On 1-20, Go no further then Conyers to gas up or
stay ( heading west), on 1-20 heading east gas up and stay before
Douglasville. And fill up the tank outside the boundaries, just
in case you run low on gas on 285.
Start practicing this now. Let others know about it. Screen
shot this post and pass it onto friends.
Fulton wants to deny Trump as a candidate? And for
travelers going through Fulton is almost unavoidable.
What is avoidable is giving one particular county any of
your money. A lot of people started not buying one
particular beer that they automatically used to.
See where they are?
Would it be that big an inconvenience to adjust any
money spent traveling to purposely make sure it
wasn’t spent in Fulton County, GA?
Oh. Fulton County has 15 cities in it Look up Fulton
County, GA. So you know where to NOT spend your
money.
Now that’s professional level boycotting. I like it!!
It’s also way easy to do. Damn near anyone traveling to or from Florida or the gulf
pretty near HAS to go through Fulton County. Same thing with people coming down
from the Carolina Piedmont region.
Plan in advance of being near Fulton County, and buy elsewhere. Then give them
a call or email a week or so later, and outline why you were in the vicinity and chose tio
spend your money elsewhere.
If anyone reading this has friends going through Georgia on travel, tell them not to
purchase anything in Fulton County. It just takes a little bit of Geography, and advance
planning. Ideally truckers would start passing the word around. I think any trucker
that actually thinks they are better off under this regime is delusional.

Sinead O’Connor
(1966-2023)
Irish singer-songwriter (Nothing Compares 2 U), dies at 56
In and out of asylums, he led a troubled life. His wife Clara, a more than accomplished composer and pianist herself, was his constant support….as was his devoted friend Brahms.
Here is her lyrical Piano Concerto in A minor. A beautiful work and a magical performance.
I remember wondering how that “singing steel guitar” sound was created… that video provided the answer. Thanks.
Roy Caton’s work. Mostly he performed on other’s albums. There are 5 writing or arranging credits.
https://www.discogs.com/artist/346719-Roy-Caton
I can’t find his name in the credits for the Wrecking Crew documentary.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185418/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm
He is listed in Wikipedia, as a former member, which is generally fairly accurate for non political issues & fame bearing topics, Don did not speak about Caton in any of the interviews I saw but trumpet containing songs from that time is a bit outta my time frame of knowledge for music. More than likely had more before Phil Specter’s wall of sound as the name of the regular session players morphed into the Wrecking Crew. Don kinda covered that in this interview.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)#List_of_members
It might seem inconsistent to some, that next to the Bible studies I post, and teaching the sense and the meaning of the Scriptures; how I could then think seriously about things like this. Well honestly, because I believe the Bible is the only realistic and sound means available to us for interpreting the times, and to know what we should do. The watchmen on the wall have it as their duty to their people, to watch, and to sound the alarm when they see danger and threat approaching. What the people do after they have been warned, is everyone’s own choice; but their blood is on their own heads; for they have been warned.
Why is this important? How is it related to the all of a sudden “disclosures” about big government cover ups, black and deep black projects, and “alien technologies?” What’s the connection to the Central Bank Digital Currency, and AI? Again, why would someone not want to be forewarned if life danger was approaching, and at the gates?
This is the third day in a row I post about these events; and as I expect, someone will try to discredit it and turn everyone’s eyes away from it. Why? You have to ask them. If I’d installed an alarm system, and hired a security company to watch my house; if alarms started going off, and the alarm company was calling to verify; I would not get angry at the “damn machine” and hang up on the alarm company; but I would investigate, and let the security company do its job. For some people I think, just having a fake sign in the yard, or stickers on the windows, is enough of a deterrent. Maybe for the amateurs and idiots that would work; but the ones who are serious career criminals, its a joke, and they can see it immediately.
So for the sake of anyone who might be interested, I’m posting about the Twin Towers Directed Energy Live Fire Test one more time. May it be a good service to those who wish to learn.
After posting this, I will not any more answer those who oppose; for I stand with my own view. Any other honest discussion will be respected as such. My sincere best wishes and prayers are for everyone who visits these pages, and everyone who contributes.

Rain always smelled like black eyed peas to me…and I love (!!!!!) black eyed peas💕
You love Black Eyed Peas?
OK, they DO tell a great unifying message in this ‘rap’ song from earlier this century…. gets your foot tappin’…..
(PS – turn on the CC feature (closed caption) in the youtube window..)
Oh yes I do!!!
We need more messages like this, GB. something which will slice through the terrible hateful divisions which have been deliberately engineered to widen the chasms between us.
I ones the name of the group but didn’t realize they were rap 😎😁👍🏻
Not always rap. They do other upbeat music too. Not everyone’s cuppa tea, but I like some of their pieces.
This is a cool contemporary music vid:
Good morning Betsy !
With our humidity the felt temperature was rotten yesterday. But a bit of chance for blackeyed peas tonight.
So that does it!!! When eventually, please dear Lord soon, receive mana from the heavens “It black eyed pea-ed” will be th announcement! At least if I’m speaking with you, my friend 😁😉
Everyone else who did not see my post will think I’ve gone do-lally…
Mornin’ all!
Good morning Treepers, Branch Hangers and Bark Clingers!
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives.
Enjoy it. I’m going to try.
I pray we can get through it without the Dems, Rinos, Deep State and GOPe screwing it up.

New Yorkers love to complain..
But we need people to stop talking, and start doing.
I am starting a blog focusing on New York City, where the intention is not just to talk about the problems facing New York, but to propose solutions, and to solicit people to run as candidates for City council.
This year, all 51 City Council seats are up for grabs. It is about 95% Democrat now, but the time is ripe for sweeping change. Conservatives could win several seats, if they ran. Why not you?

Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
thoughts of levi, and all other silent tree-branchers who may need thoughts and prayer.
Couldn’t help but think of Levi with this one…and I fear Leon and others who passed through for a little while in our company.
On behalf of your fan club, Betsy, we would like to present you this prestigious award. Well deserved!! (deafening applause)
Oh golly, ERROR!!!
😘 and 😂😂😂😂!
What a most treasured award it is. I do sincerely thank you, dear sir.
Can I keep it forever or will it be like the Wimbledon trophy which I have on to the next winner that follows?
( If I can keep it, I have just the place for it…right inside my heart💕 Deep thanks again, dear friend😘)
From your heart it will be shared among sooo many deserved receipients that fellowship with us every day.
The “live, love, and laugh”
crew.
Edit to add:
The Wile E Coyote post garnered extra points!
From classical to Carlin…you possess a lot of bandwidth!!
We really are the “live, love, and laugh crew”, aren’t we. And it’s contagious, the bonhomie we feel in this special, oh so special home of ours.
I don’t start every day at the top of my game. Sometimes life gets in the way, as it does for everyone. But this I know.
Once I join all my friends for the “good mornings”, cheery greetings, and often surprising conversations which ensue from what others post, the day keeps getting better and better.
Yes it does😁💕👍🏻
I love the sound of that, Flyover.
Very, very much🙏🏻💕
And lest we forget…
This is what I got up early for on a Saturday morning.
Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. – Isaiah 8:12
The simple word “politician” may conjure up negative feelings and distrust. However, R.A. Bertrum and Alfred Tucker, writers of a commentary on Isaiah, encouraged all believers to be “Biblical politicians.” In that context, they wrote that it is the duty of everyone in the believing community to stand firmly grounded in their faith, and not be swayed by the conspiracies or fears of the day.
Know first that you will likely not be siding with the majority. Though you find yourself in the minority, Exodus 23:2 directs, “You shall not fall in with the many to do evil… siding with the many, so as to pervert justice.” Secondly, look at the emotions of the times, whether they be fearful or hopeful, to determine if the nation and its people are in pursuit of righteousness.
Your ultimate desire should be to please God. Fear the Lord and give Him honor, for He is Holy (Revelation 14:7). Let Him and His will be your “sanctuary and a stone of offense” (Isaiah 8:13-14).
Keep your focus on the Lord and spend time in His Word. Be conscious of the grandeur of God. Know Him for the Sovereign God that He is. Spread His light and hope to those around you. Though evil appears to run rampant, God is still on the throne.
Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to endure, the faithfulness to hold firmly to God’s guidance, and the boldness to speak to others to comfort them through the love of the Savior. Pray also for those in public office in this nation, that they may seek to calm the people by doing the right thing.

Viral Video – Tesla Solar Roof Review: Was it Worth It?
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2023/07/viral-video-tesla-solar-roof-review-was.html
Excellent! That man in that video is very good – I’d even say well above average – at explaining his Tesla Solar Roof & Storage Battery system, the cost, the variables, the performance over the first year, the reasons behind fluctuations, the payback period estimation and more.
He’s apparently in new Jersey, and being in Maryland with an 11 year old solar panel system on my roof, I can attest to the fact that what he says about the weather, the sunshine days versus the cloudy days, and the effect that has on solar panel output and utility bills – is spot on.
Worth watching!
Verse of the Day for Saturday, July 29, 2023
✟
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”
1 John 1:8 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.

A TEST OF FAITH
The Bible says Faith cometh by hearing
Hearing by the Word of God is fearing
We must walk by Faith and thus not by sight
For by Grace thru Faith we are saved upright
Being justified by Faith we have peace
Thru Jesus, the Savior, our fear will cease
Not of ourselves Faith is a Gift of God
As long as our belief is strong not flawed
Faith cannot stand alone for without works
Faith benefits not if one’s works he shirks
We are helpers of our joy by Faith we stand
With the Spirit of God in our hearts manned
It’s easy to say you have Faith until
You are tested without Faith you stand still
How many times has Jesus said to they
Your Faith has saved you now be on your way
What is it He saw lived inside of them
What power was there in His garment hem
How could He heal people from far afield
What strength within was He able to wield
The trying of your Faith worketh patience
Patience is derived thru obeisance
A Virtue by perseverance put in place
A Virtue thru practice becomes a Grace
What is it that becomes a Test of Faith
Where can we acquire a Gift of Grace
By keeping His commands and adhering
To the Word of God that we are hearing

Offer to God a sacrifice of praise.
God the Lord has spoken and summoned the earth,

From Zion, perfect in beauty,
God shines forth.

Then call upon me in time of distress;

Had a good storm hit us at 03:00 this morning. Was woken up by a bang on the roof and west side of our bedroom. A 4″ diameter limb had broken out of the Chinese elm that is 15 feet from the NW corner of the house. It hit the gutter on the corner denting it and ended up leaning on the side of the house right over our west facing bedroom window.
Other good sized limbs down in our yard and all the neighbors around me. My Anemometer is only 6′ above the ground surface and registered a gust of 37 mph and that means that the wind was at least 20 mph faster at 30 feet. My flag pole was really jerking around and the clips holding the 5 x 8 colors slid together as they are supposed to in order to minimize the stresses on flag and pole.
Had to go out and right Sherry’s two beautiful potted flower baskets.
Steve and I have some work to do. But we’re thankful for the rain. It really came down for about a half hour and then continued at a lesser amount for another couple hours.
Two doors down to the North they lost a good sized tree. Whole thing, roots and all toppled over.
Darn.
We get rains like that sometimes here in Texas, rah.
Nothing, then suddenly and ferociously, with hurricane style winds. Frightening.
Last one took down some of our neighbour’s ginormous branches off their decades old Cleveland pears, more long lived than the Bradfords (a twenty year old one out front lost a huge limb long ago which landed on our roof but did no damage. We were exceedingly lucky. We had the huge tree removed two days after.)…and those landed on our roof. Lucky once more. No damage.
There are so many mature Bradford here which line the roads where we live, and it is guaranteed after such brief but violent weather, limbs will be torn off.
I guess it could have been worse with your storm. So glad it’s not🙏🏻💕
Indianapolis Airport reported a 72 mph gust.
The thing is at my place there is a farm field across from us to the west that is one mile wide. There is a low lying area in the field with a patch of woods and a house across from us that help block winds out of the West, but when the wind comes out of the North West as this one did it is coming across full width of the wide open field and this year there soya beans in that field. So we get the full blast.
I get that. We lived in a lonnnng valley in Wales. Our 1869 house and surround trees always took the direct hit of ferocious winds. Only once after weather like that did we come out to find a slate shingle or two on the path.
We were lucky.
Well I got out the chainsaw and cut up the large branch. Sherry and I picked up the larger sticks. But we still have more picking up to do. Just got back from our local Volunteer Fire Department Ice Cream Social. Put a check for $100.00 in the boot. Gotta take care of them so they can take care of us if we need it.
Went with Steve and Betty to that event. We took a bit of the long way around to check for damage in our area. Down the road a short way A whole tree came down on a guys large shed collapsing the roof. Plenty of other branches and limbs on the ground at different places.
Very generous, my brother🙏🏻💕 I’m betting whoever picked that check up was astounded and extremely grateful. It is true that what you give you get back. Though I know that’s not why you dropped that amount in.
So much damage…and to think there are those who “say” climate is man-made.
Of course I recognize that they don’t believe the lunacy they spew, that it is only a tool for total control.
We’ve been dragged unwillingly into the madness.
Britons, by the way, seem to believe every bit of the climate codswallop. A whole country that has turned into an insane asylum.
I think several people give that amount. I know Steve and Betty do. Those guys are volunteers. Much of their personal equipment are hand me downs from Anderson and other municipal fire departments.
The station is maybe 3 miles from us via the fastest route. And remember now, we out here don’t have city water/sewer so no hydrants. Water for fire fighting has to be brought by tanker. So besides the engines, they have two tankers to maintain. They have two pumper engines, a hook & Ladder, a rescue unit and an ambulance.
They were taking the kids on rides on an old engine and had the IU Life Line helicopter there for people to see. They had fun fire safety classes for the kids. They really put a lot into it and it is their major fund raising event.
Their fire station also serves as a polling station during elections. I go there to vote during the primaries. But during the general elections I vote early down at the Church.
Good old timey cartoons with no worries about subtext. Or overt text come to think about it.
That could easily have been me, my baby sister, and my older sister in the late ’50s…… Age differences just about right….

Good morning Treepers
Note to congress people:
Writing a “sternly written letter” requires a clinched fist, a firm grasp of the pen, and dogged determination.
A bow in your hair will help seal the deal :p
Oh my goodness!!! I LOVE LOVE this picture😍
Good girl! You tell ’em! And yes, more impact when written by someone with a bow in her hair.🤗
(Could be my granddaughter when she was that age…or her mother, same💕)
Pureness of heart and clarity of mind is a God given gift only few retain after childhood. Navigating through evil is a daily challenge that takes spirit and devotion.
The liberal mindset that awaits this one is heartbreaking!
As for the bow –
Me: is it too big?
Kim: Hello? Have we met before?
:p
It scares me, too, ERROR. We can’t stand between those we love and are watching grow forever, much as we may wish it.
I’ve done my very best to educate the three of our nine grands nearest to us, taking every chance no matter how short the time I have (school pickups for instance) to bombard them with facts, advice, to ask what they learned in class on the day, use the Socratic method to quiz them about it, try to make them think.
I am pleased to report the inoculation has been successful. Now I’m into repeats…they are open to anything and everything I send to them. I am so grateful.
I love Kim!!!! LOLOL!!!! There is no bow too big. I always think the bigger the better at that age anyway😁😉🤗👍🏻
We do the best we can without tipping the Apple cart.
Kim is is the master of balance.
She shares true love and advoids hurt from difference. Feather touch.

Burning Car Carrier With 500 EVs Aboard May Be Towed on Weekend (msn.com)
Of course they forgot to mention that one crew member was killed and that the crew said the fire was started by an EV.
