The incident happened back on July 3rd and since then there has not been a confirmation as
to who she is and what happened. There have been some great memes and clip editing over the past
month including this one:

Brush up on your Russian <<<<<
russian engineer eduard luzyanin has assembled the HAMYAK ATV, an all-terrain, mono-tracked motorcycle. the HAMYAK
or HOMYAK — meaning hamster in russian — was named after the rodent
because of its external resemblance to the animal as well as its ‘unprecedented mobility’. equipped with a 150cc engine made for chinese scooters, the small vehicle is in fact, the size of a child’s bicycle.
Chalk is a pure white limestone formed from the remains of tiny marine organisms (plankton) that lived and died in clear warm seas that covered much of Britain around 70 to 100 million years ago. When they died, they fell to the bottom in a rain of fine white mud. As chalk formed from the mud, layers and lumps of hard, glassy flint also developed - prized by stone-age man for tools.
Covfefe Surfing this morning and I happened upon a picture of the "Needles, Isle Of Wight"
That's cool, more research needed while enjoying more covfefe, and rabbit holes......
and a History of the The Needles <<<
Thank you all for the comments and messages. It's greatly appreciated.
I passed on your sentiment's to "The Boss" and she's thankful.
Arrangements are being made, and as each day passes things move forward.
Another Friday greets us. The sunrise is shining and it's going to be hot humid sunny day.
Next week is looking really nice. Temp and humidity drops and the nights in the high 50's for
good hibernation time at least over night.
Enjoy the day and the weekend. I'll be around to visit based on schedule and may even get
off a post or two. The shafts on the machinery never ever stop.

His breathing had changed and was shallower now. The medication was helping to maintain
a comfort level that kept the pain he was experiencing at bay. The "Boss" and her mother sat
on the couch scrolling through pictures from the last 70 or so years.
He was born in Munich Germany during the war. 1943. After meeting the "Boss's" mother
while she was on a trip overseas, in the early 60's, he came to America. They were married
and had two children. Later they divorced and remained friendly once the dust settled.
Splitting his time between Germany and the US he had an auto repair business here and
a small construction company in Munich.
Last year he was diagnosed with lymphoma that developed into three tumors. Chemo was used
initially but failed. After some consultations, a treatment called CAR-T was used.
As with any treatment the outcome can vary. You hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
He never fully recovered and ended up with other issues. The CAR-T did work and he was
cancer free. The other issues were most likely side-effect induced.
The "Boss" was unconsciously monitoring his breathing as he slept. They chatted about the pictures.
He exhaled.
She waited.
He was gone.
His face suddenly took on a look of serene peace.
Her mother looked up, paused and said, " Can you see him?"
"Where??"
"He's standing against the wall next to the bed"
She looked and saw nothing
"I don't see him"
"He's there, he has on brown corduroys and his favorite turtleneck, from the 1970's. I forgot about
that outfit. He looked down at the bed where his body is and said "That's not me" "
He passed yesterday afternoon around 3pm and is now at peace.
We had a running joke at family gatherings. Whenever he would get angry about some issue I would
tell him to stop being a Sour Kraut.
We would blast Rammstein once in awhile and get in trouble from the ladies.
God Speed H.F.K. , God Speed.
This was forwarded to me by a good friend. The first speaker is one of his family members.
He has been pushing back on the flying of the rainbow flag.

You will probably want to salute the guy with the Trump Flag.
The push back is starting.
Dear Senator Tuberville,
I am a lifelong Republican and except for a few instances like President Trump, President Reagan, and today's Freedom Caucuses, I have spent most of my life DISGUSTED with cowardly Republicans who never stand up for their voters but cower and run to prevent Democrats and the fraud media from calling them names.
Your holding up military promotions over Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's immoral abortion policy1 has finally gotten their attention so go ahead and use that approach to save the whole military and Arlington National Cemetery.
There are only two things you need to do to save our military and Arlington National Cemetery.
THE FIRST is get rid of racist Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the DEI bureaucracy Biden has spent $114 million dollars entrenching in our military.2 Talk about injecting cancer into a healthy body:

Today was the first time I heard of SEERS so I'm sharing some links after digging in to it.
Geez. Where have a seen this before? *scratches stubbly chin* ... hmmm.
Oh ya, Event 201 just in time to usher in mail in voting.
Now onto SEERS:
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in partnership with WHO and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, conducted Catastrophic Contagion, a pandemic tabletop exercise at the Grand Challenges Annual Meeting in Brussels, Belgium, on October 23, 2022.
The SEERS Epidemic refers to a hypothetical situation involving the rapid spread of a novel strain of an enterovirus, termed Severe Epidemic Enterovirus Respiratory Syndrome (SEERS).
In this theoretical scenario, SEERS has the potential to cause a significant global public health crisis due to its rapid transmission via respiratory droplets and close personal contact in densely populated urban areas.
These fuckers are playing with fire. They are pushing for a response. I don't think they
are going to enjoy it when the "fumes" ignite.
Either it's time to get nervous, since movies seem to lay the groundwork for future events, or
it's the end of his shift.
and in the comment section on twitter, the BBC can't help themselves but to imply that
males can get pregnant or the zoo keeper in Ohio is really fucking stupid.
Even if you give the Zoo the "better fit of the doubt" look at the media covering this.
Here's a search that turns up all the MSM that is promoting this. <<<
Nobody did a background check on this pc of human garbage. They just over looked more than
a decade of information becauses #heroictrans?
Read the comments. Then go take a shower.
Wow. @RepSwalwell and @BetoORourke campaigned for Stacie Laughton- the nation’s first transgender elected state rep who was arrested for child porn and child exploitation.

and for those that don't twit. Here's the videos
There were a few of you guys that caught it and mentioned something in the comments.
I guess the internet hasn't ruined the rest of you that commented.
She's a screamer....
I didn't hear this earlier. It was on the sidebar while I was going through Youtube.
This song brings back some good memories......
I'm off to surf and lurk for a bit.......
I only got the following pictures of this race car.
It looks like it's at a car show on a residential street.
There was no body to the email but I think he wants to test and see how
badly I have been corrupted by the interwebs.....
Can anyone identify the make of the car?
By the way Ron, I'm totally corrupted by the webz to answer your implied question.
This needs no explanation - (H/t to JB he sent in the text portion)
Men Are Just Happier People!
What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress - $5,000. Tux rental - $100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuffabout tanks.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes - one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache... You can do Christmasshopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier!
