In the past month I have had two colds, at least that's what I'll call them since I don't get tested.
Sinus congestion, cough, chest congestion and feeling run down.
Hot steamy shower, alone, some Nyquil and sleep works for me.
Now I am hearing of people having Covid, Flu A, Pneumonia and Norovirus. Plus the other assorted regular crap circulating.
What's happening in your neck of the woods?PS.. stop by later.....
Well, here we are closing in on the end of another year. I wanted to wish each and every
one of you a Very Merry Christmas.
As noted before, things have been busy so a little time off from the blog has been required.
Not that I haven't lurked a bit, just not feeling it for now.
Hopefully, things will loosen up and I can get back to work on moving to a self host and
new blogging software. Thanks to all that offered to assist.
When I'm ready, I will raise the flag.
Be safe, stay away from big cities and crowds, pay attention and don't let your guard down.
Again, Merry Christmas one and all.

Irish,
"Officials" state that these were probably the remnants of Starlink satellites burning up in the lower atmosphere. My wife called me Friday morning about 30 miles east of where we live and told me to go outside and look to the southeast. She told me it looked like a rocket spewing fire and smoke in the eastern sky headed south. I couldn't see it, but she watched it for some time. I looked online and at that time didn't see anything pertaining to the sky mystery. I spotted this STORY today. Had I witnessed the cluster blazing across the sky at night, the first thing I would of thought is, "well, this is it". LOL
Click here to see a good video of the fireball and trail. COOL VIDEO
Sorry, all. This week has been a roller coaster ride. Ran out of time on lots of stuff.
Too much to do and not enough hours in the day. I'll be around sooner or later.
In the meantime, I did get a couple texts from Phil. He's still hanging in there and trying to
heal. I'm sure when he gets home in a day or two, he will post on his site.
For now, have a great night and a good weekend.

There have been sightings in Alabama. Particularly, drone sightings have occurred in the southern portions of the state and officials feel it is necessary to get the word out that it is illegal to shoot down a drone. Their have no sighting so far in the town of Foley which butts up to Gulf Shores, AL. The mayor of Foley still felt so strongly that he made a public statement warning folks not to engage drones with guns. The mayor, who was quoted in the article, doesn't sound real sure of himself in regard to the legalities from the way I read it. Here is the link to the STORY. Not a lot in this piece, but I knew someone would ask so, I posted the link too. The real story is the fact that people, such as the mayor. deep down really believe there are a large number of Alabamians who do not like anyone looking over their shoulders combined with the fact that there are more guns in Alabama than people. A lot of people will deal with the "scary" drones in their own way. There will be some, if the opportunity presents itself, who will revert to the the SSS method to ease their minds. Most folks are too busy to give it much more than a gaze. Whether this drone thing is real threat, a phycological operation, or a desperate search to find some WMD (again possible pysop), etc., who can say? I suppose we will have to wait and see. As for the potential "drone shooters". I imagine if any potential shooters are identifiable, they will receive a very rapid response from the owners, .gov
Thanks for trying those test posts last night. I will try and mess around with it this week or
find other ways around this.

Best drone theory so far.

I officially switch my recreational belief about the drones to what he says. https://t.co/FTfsa38tHQ
First off, a huge thank you to those that support the blog by visiting, commenting and sending PM's
It's humbling that this little corner of the webz has turned into what it has.
Secondly, this is all free candy, myself and Jeffery do this for the entertainment value, camaraderie
and hobby aspects of blogging. There has never been any financial incentive or financial income
for what is here. It is just a clearing house for sophomoric fun and information that I deem worth
sharing. Currently work is very busy as well as my personal life. Today I spent some time looking
at photo sharing sites to at least host FFFF so I can just post a link. (freeimage.host) is one I found.
If anyone knows about that please email or comment.
In the meantime, I plan to reach out to divemedic and mike at Coldfury to see what is involved
to move there. I also found a list of some open source blog platforms. HERE<
Here is a list of 'free' image hosting sites. HERE<
Over the past 14+ years I have gotten very adept at getting around blogger and posting with
relative ease. The thought of trying a new platform is , shall we say, not what I would like
to do. BUT, it seems like it's going that way.
Please feel free to comment or email so a discussion can be started about possible better
alternatives. I know some of you are a lot more tech savvy than I.
Maybe I will try a donation page or some form of ad income will help ease the burden.
All thoughts are welcome.
Again, thank you all. It's greatly appreciated.
Slainte !!

The gulag strikes?????
No demons were summoned (BTDT).
All is well, at least in that respect.
Off to work.
Play nice.

The following is the honest truth so help me God. Irish
Laura.
This was before my alarm this morning and I was sleeping, or so I thought.
I was on my back and felt a weight settle against my left ankle. The feeling of when a pet cat or dog climbs on the bed and settles against your lower leg.
I twisted my foot a bit to see if it was real or not and the weight moved away.
It settled again and I heard the sound of a belt buckle being undone and zipper being taken down and pants hitting the floor.
Now I'm thinking, WTF is there someone in my room? Am I awake or dreaming?
That ethereal place where you can't move and you're awake but your eyes are still closed.
Slowly a body lay next to me and settled on my left arm. She kissed my neck.
I curled my arm around her to embrace her and she rolled up and straddled me.
I could feel the warmth between us.
There was low illumination silhouetting her outline from behind.
This can't be real I thought!
I brought up my right arm to the small of her back and could feel the cross strap of her bra that had been undone.
My left hand cupped her breast and felt a hard nipple under the sheer fabric.
She slowly undulated on top of me.
Astonished at what I was experiencing I spoke, telepathically I guess, "Tracy?" ( one of my ex's)
She slowly sat up, the dim light illuminating more of her features in shadow.
Maintaining her slow grinding she responded.
"No, Laura, from Providence ( I think). We are both experiencing emergencies and our souls are together."
She stayed like that for a little longer. Sitting upright and rocking back and forth on me.
Then, she leaned forward to kiss me.
Slowly the light behind her faded and the weight and warmth of her body lifted.
I lay there.
Questions in my mind flooded in.
I moved my arm. Turned my head and slowly cracked my eyes to a darkened room.
Shutting my eyes, I played the scene over and over again still mesmerized by what had
transpired.
It was real, I felt all the physical attributes and conversation as described.
Guardian angel? Just an extremely vivid dream? It was vivid for me.
I drifted off.
Within an hour or less, or so it seemed, the alarm went off.
The day has started.
With a big H/T to reader Mark out west. Thank you.
This clip below came up on my face-book feed last wee. Just some dude in sweat pants.
I finally got a chance to search for him and found the Youtube clip above.
Damn good job IMHO
Irish adds:
I have friend of mine is dealing with this as well. His wife has UHC and they denied a needed treatment for a skin cancer removal. Even the Dr, was shocked given her history of having issues with 'bad skin' and preemptive exams and removals.
They are appealing this as well. Could be up to 9k out of pocket depending on how it goes.
From today's inbox. J from Tennessee sent along these photos of points found a few decades ago.
There are some who believe this real-time implosion taking place we are witnessing within the realms of the media, the democrat party and the Biden crime family is happening simply because Trump won the election. These same folks will continue to vote democrat. Even though those same people saw some or all of these hearings, interviews, commentaries, etc. demanding justice as the Trump tribunals were taking place, they still will not believe their "lyin' eyes". Non-redeemable guarantee to make you grin. The link is below the photograph.
Thursday I was at a local turkey shoot and ran into a friend I had not seen in a while. We talked between rounds and he said, "I got those pictures of the knife my daddy found I was telling you of a while back. Let me show them to you." He did. This grouping has been in a safety deposit box for years, but he took it right before his daddy passed. His daddy was about seven years old and was playing on his maternal grandparents place near where I was raised in 1948 when he made this rare discovery. He and a couple of other kids were playing around some large bluff shelters and found this____________ (looks like knife, sheath, and handle to me). I have been interested in native history and a hunter of "arrowheads" or "Indian Rocks" (points, blades, scrapers, drills, etc.) most of my life. I think I found my first in our garden spot when I was six. Back when we and other people still planted row crops, I would walk the fields searching for points. I have found several while plowing. I have found them on creek banks and under shelters. If I ever get around any bare or disturbed ground now, my flint eye kicks into hyper-drive. My prize finds are a point dating to 10,000 BP and a greenstone celt (axe) dating to about 1,200 BP. I never considered myself a serious collector by any means, but have been in the presence of some and have known a few. I must say, I have never seen anything found locally that would come close in comparison to this gem/find. I would be interested in any insight regarding any aspect of this. I did not ask, but I do not believe he would sell it. I would be curious as to a value and an age. It is rare when anything not bone or stone from prehistoric times is found in the climate conditions of north Alabama.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and try to stay away from the leftovers if possible. LOL
