Consulting with Trent, I’m again looking afield for a musical situation. You don’t block somebody else on stage except on purpose. Maybe it was nothing, but so what? I’ve told this band I’m with them because they gig and it is wise they don’t toy with that formula. It is fun watching them pick up on how I do things, but there is a right way and a wrong way they can approach that. Direct competition, that is, being a stage hog, never works around me. So no promises, but I’m at least partially back on the market. Here’s a view of the dance floor from “my side” of the stage.
After nearly three years running the same ad, the “masterpiece” guiltar player’s ad is finally gone. There’s some goof advertising for a upright bass player, it seems a phase all guitarists go through at some mental level. They regard jazz as serious music and think upright bass is part of it. Such bands never last three months around here. There is a new keyboard solo player bursting on the scene, getting rave reviews. Remind me to see that show.
What’s this? Trump has endorsed the Canadian truck convoy? That could be a game-changer. Trudeau has fled into hiding somewhere in the USA and the world press has picked up on the story. Now, Trudeau has not struck back yet, but the capitol (Ottawa) is shut down and the truckers have apparently brought enough food to stay for weeks. Two-thirds of the population lives near Ottawa and they are very vulnerable to blockades, most town have one road in and out. There is rumor of a similar convoy from LA to NY. Like the US, most of the festering, corrupt politics comes out of one eastern area and takes the same form. This means my awareness is increased though I still think Trudeau would gun people down to keep power.
Around an hour I spent on blog maintenance. I’m aware of duplicates and problems that slip through the cracks. But may I say there are problems with the blog software that prevent the correction of mistakes. I know that October 1, 2020 has two entries, but only one appears in the lists. Can’t delete what isn’t there. And photos, they are the worst for me. I have no way to check except tedious scrolling and there’s no time for that.
Have you heard of Buckhead? The mainstream morons have presented this as a neighborhood that wants to “secede” from Atlanta. The reality is Buckhead is a small white city that is surrounded in Atlanta by crime-ridden non-white neighborhoods. The motive for breaking away is it would allow them to hire and operate their own police force. What’s the problem all the Atlanta politicians are having with that?
Well, you see, almost 100% of the city taxes are paid by this small group of white people. The rest of the city is Democrats, so they have a potential mini-Rhodesia on their hands. If Buckhead separates, the entire rest of the city collapses. We are treated to the spectacle of black politicians begging whites to stay where they can be mugged, taxed, and looted. Pay attention America, this looks like the Democrats emerging worst embarrassment. I say by the time things get to that stage, Buckhead will secede and create an example.
Cancun sunrise.
Remember to use BACK ARROW to return to blog.
It warmed slightly, I let the mouse go in the back yard, and stayed home al day keeping warm. And reading a lot. I had to gloss over the chapter on Darwin’s “soft inheritance”, but I get the idea. Too many folks want a single model to explain evolution, but it is a mixture with many facets. We were taught five minutes of “acquired characteristics”, the explanation that giraffes grew longer necks over time so they could reach leaves higher up the tree. But the mixing of genes during reproduction is, to an extent, random and knows nothing of the environment. We were also taught mutation is the major basis for new species. However, the way this book reads, you would have a hard time keeping a list of all these various small reasons that add up to the actual concept of evolution.
My real search was my sometimes interest in the Great Lakes, not for their role, but for questions I have about their existence. You may recall my biggest question, where does all that water come from? There are no major rivers running into the lakes, yet the water levels are reportedly rising. Well, so to speak, the reports are from the climate change flat Earth bunch. The storms on the lakes are particularly ferocious, this photo shows two waves colliding. This often causes huge waves that appear from a distance to be mountains.
The lakes 5,200 miles of shoreline is an estimate, because the levels seasonally can vary up to six feet. Anyway, I have a theory about these storms. Unlike the oceans, the lakes have no prevailing currents and not enough mass to absorb contrary winds. On the oceans, one can see roughly that the worst storms occur when the winds and currents align. However, the waves on the Great Lakes are totally caused by winds. A heavy but steady wind can thus cause enormous waves, and like the photo shows, these winds can often meet head-on.
The lyrics of the Lightfoot song about November gales are a fact. As the Canadian winter storms arrive, the relatively warm lake water fuels massive windstorms and the water is not far behind. I thought to find some footage on Thunder Bay, the Canadian port north of Duluth. The government spent a lot of bucks to make that a railhead on the prairies, so I was startled to learn only 100,000 people live there. I think one of my ex-girlfriends and hubby spent time there. However, all videos I found were about tourist attractions. Like Miami, despite being on the water, the places you can anchor a boat are severely restricted to a few expensive spots.
Even in my prime, I would not spend $100 to zip line across some remote canyon, plus you know what I think of craft beer festivals and the people who attend them. There is a Bombardier factory in the city famed mostly for its mass layoffs. In the end, I got no info on the city or what it is like to live there. Instead, my search results were peppered with links to claims that the truckers in the Ottawa convoy are racists and white supremists. You tell me how [such posts] are getting past my filters.
Has anyone else read the comic book that calls itself PopSci? I sifted through a list of “science” reports and I suspect there is a room set up somewhere for people specially chosen fo their lack of science education are grouped. Their purpose is to come up with headlines for articles that sell magazines, because the rest has no basis in reality. Nuclear rockets do not use an atomic explosion to launch satellites. And probes that crash into the surface of the Moon or asteroids are not “attacking” them. When I posted a question if meteorites were, by the same token, constantly attacking the Earth, a person claiming to be a professor replied, "Absolutely."
I got ten bucks says the coward Trudeau is across the river in New York, with a few suitcases full of money.
ADDENDUM
Want a news story? Look behind the scenes in England, where all COVID restrictions are being removed. Have the English leaders seen the light? Have they learned the science? Hardly. What’s really happened is lawsuits have been filed against all the medical people who ignored the dangerous side effects of the vaccine. While I don’t excuse staff, it is better to note it is the doctors, pharmacists, and other licensed “professionals” who should be most liable. It’s been known for decades how they drool over a variety of fatal conditions they diagnose as cancer so they can line their pockets with the most expensive treatments possible.
The so-called pro tried that with COVID, but people caught on. It was too blatant, the news was out they were paid to create the pandemic by calling everything a COVID death. You see, the lawsuits list that as accessory to murder, a charge which police are obligated to investigate. So while the politicians care less if you die, they cannot afford the system to bog down from these lawsuits.
