Wait. Soon Bubba will shoot one down. Then we might find out. The media will probably report it as a crashed Cessna. And for once they'll probably be right!

It looks better with the patina rather than having gleaming perfection of a brand new floor. More in keeping with the character of the building.

Well, drones are too small to show up on radar. (Unless they are car size) Don't have a transponder to ident themselves. Unlikely to obey CTA rules (none have been seen in prohibited areas). Some drones are cheap and appeal to dickheads. Conspiricy nuts are generally paranoid. Malicious drone operators are unlikely to show red/green nav lights. I sense the media is short of real news at the moment.

No, everybody doesn't think. They go with the loudest media sound bites. Albaneesy is just keeping the seat warm for Duttin.

Please don't think I believe any lasting good will come of DJT's presidency. I doubt DJT has the knowledge, or wisdom to carry out a tactical economic war. He has more chance to achieve his stated apparent intention to criple his country in multiple ways.

This is a modern problem, psychologically. I have found that many folk are disturbed by constant 'noise' in their brain.either uncontrolled thoughts or voices. Scarey! The first thing in metitation is to 'empty your mind'. Many people can't.

Isn't that also our main criticism of china? After WW2, the asians (at the time Japan. Later, China) made it clear that the big wars will not be done with weapons. They will be done with economics. Although DJT is a loose cannon, he is trying to fight fire with fire. Ref: "The Art of War" Unless pootin uses nukes.

Thanks for the update. I was starting to worry about the growing pressure on you. Especially at this time of year. Tis a big project. On top of having a Starmer in the country.

Noted the comment 'If the press don't like us this time, well just have to take them on again...'
-
He seems to think 'famous' and 'infamous' are interchangeable.
-
'Look everyone... I'm famous!'

Obliquely, I'm implying that the christian movement wasn't convincing enough on its own merit - so it claimed other's festivals, brliefs, etc. And renamed them, then claimed to have invented them. A bit like USA rednecks claiming that the only Real Americans, are those descended from a select small group of immigrants.

Did you know.... I thought that Friday was named after the Norse Goddess 'Freya' (or Freja). She was the goddess of fertility, love, and war. Not so. Friday was named after a different goddess: 'Frigg'. 'The English weekday name Friday (ultimately meaning 'Frigg's Day') bears her name. After Christianization, the mention of Frigg continued to occur.....' And after that, frigging mostly occurred on weekends.

How's the floors coming along? Will you have them done by christmas? It's a busy time of year - hard to fit in renovation work!

Bear in mind that (according to Wikki), Time is not highlighting the man's quality. But neither he, nor his followers understand that...... "The distinction is supposed to go to the person who, "for good or ill", has most affected the course of the year; it is, therefore, not necessarily an honor or a reward. In the past, such figures as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin have been Man of the Year."
-
Aaaagh! I was doing so well. But I can't ignore that ! I can't see any damage to his ear.....
-
Nah, they were not evicted, they just gave up floggin a dead horse.
-
A great proposition. But I don't share your optism. Even if the whole Australian population was likeminded and didn't like any particlar USA policy or decision, do you really believe WE could change it? The mouse cannot roar.
-
Totally agree. I'm saying that at present I refuse to waste my energy on meaningless BS that issues from DJT. Of course the problems will only get worse - after January. Meanwhile I keep only a mild awareness of his many claims during the leadup to his official start as president, because his word is so unreliable. After January, we will all need awareness and rational analysis to understand the extent of what he does, and the implications that ripple out from them.
-
No it isn't. It's just choosing to ignore the meaningless background noise. Besides that, a wet fish is something that I can do something about.
-
That might be interesting. Has any country managed to evict the yanks, once they set up camp?
-
At this point I am not particularly worried. Since 90% of what he says is BS, I tune him out. Otherwise I start fretting about each silly thing he says. I am fully aware that next year will bring some frightening changes that affect the world. But until they happen Nobody really knows what! Since I have absolutely no control over it, I defer my worry until then.

I get put off by the juvenile theatrics. So I probably miss the rare gems. Most times I can't bring myself to waste so much time listening to them carry on.
-
No. What have I missed?
-
Albo hasn't got a chance in the theatre contest.
