I first visited Southern California in 1970. I suppose that was the height of the smog and dirty air. I came in from the Northeast and there was a purple dome over LA just as we cleared the mountains.
California has some fantastic resources and landscapes of all sorts; however, in the last 50 years the leaders of that "most resource filled" state in the Union actually try to screw things up. I have never understood it.
I had a friend once who worked at Lockheed's Skunk Works, Palmdale, CA. He was a brain and as soon as he retired he got the hell out of California. He made a fortune on his house and bought one out of state for a small fraction of what he got.
This was really good listening to
Found a $5 bill about 1/2 hour ago behind 7/11 during my walk.
This morning's haul below. Life is good. Happy Hump Day.

You dumpster dive too?
Dumpster dived when younger. I'll sometimes grab a few things if I can reach 'em.
Just got back from paying my final respect to my tank commander while I was in the National Guard, he was a great guy and friend, in the MILITARY and in civilian life!!!!!!
That time of year. Was repairing a trimmer in the garage that kept shorting out this morning while using it. Heard a plane come over that was fairly loud. Thought....he's kind of low...but kept on working. Happened again a few minutes later. Went out in the yard...had a good idea what it was. Someone up the road was having their field(s) crop dusted. Neat to watch those guys get so low and then barely pull up over a tree or a tree line.
We had one last year that was so low that I could see him waving as he came over the backyard.
Wonder what the cost is for that? Have never asked any farmer friends.

Sorry to hear about your friend.
Happened here last Tuesday. They are wonderful; and I bet it cost a bunch.
Same here @cordmaker .
About 3 years ago a rig much like this one parked next to our property and spent the whole landing...refilling....taking off....and doing it all over again. The truck/rig may have been bigger than this one. It was huge/long. We were having a cookout that night with some family and friends...and they loved it. Free entertainment.
I read where Union Pacific's Big Boy will be running from NOLA to StL in late August. I've already chatted with a friend of mine and it looks like the chase will be on for us. It should be fun.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and clear. 40% rain chance. Today's high may reach 92°F. More temps in the mid-to-high 90s on the way beginning this weekend.
Austin reverted back to stage-4 COVID status because infections are rising. We'll start wearing masks indoors again. Stay tuned on how this new status affects our return to the office.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. Another eerie sunrise, I suppose influenced by western fires.
But all is well here. We’re supposed to have some cooler, less humid days.
As with Austin, I’m starting to hear rumors that our return to downtown DC offices will be postponed. That’s more than fine with me. No interest in resuming a subway commute.
I hope it’s a good day for everyone.

Duumbed? Cross between dumb and doomed.
Reminds me of the word smog from the Beverly Hillbillies movie with Jim Varney. When talking about California the questions arises: What's a smog? They all start thinking about it and after the Jeopardy music quits playing Jethro says: "I guess it's a small hog".
Looks more like peanut butter fudge. I think I will substitute peanut butter fudge for that French confection.Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and clear. 40% rain chance. Today's high may reach 92°F. More temps in the mid-to-high 90s on the way beginning this weekend.

My favorite Beverly Hillbillies movie scene:
Man you are reaching.... Reach for something else.
Oh, May you all wake up happy and gain joy as your days progress. Take God serious, God is serious about loving you. God Bless you all...
Good morning D-League. It's currently 61° and clear. This afternoon will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 82°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

Good morning all.
After three straight days of mowing, trimming grass, trimming bushes, cutting down a couple bushes, and so forth...I'm beat. Too old for this %@#*. And to think...give it a few days and it will all be back to where it started, except for the two bushes that I cut down. Then I'll have to do it all over again.
Y'all have a good day.

Texas, Oklahoma talk to SEC about joining league
The last time Texas got a wandering eye for another conference it fueled a series of realignments in college sports that nearly killed the Big 12.
I make my own using organic whole milk. Organic whole lasts on average about 18-21 days past the expiration on the carton. They were recently just $3.39 each. Haven't purchased any this month to know if the price has changed. The flavor of the organic was better, imo. More like what milk tasted like when I was a kid. Jfyi. Prices on that will probably go up as well.

"That's when the WHORES start comin in!"
Long term, I expect the conference model to break down and make way for a league setup similar to the NeFL.
4 divisions in each conference made up of the remaining/surviving school teams from the old conferences. SEC East and West split between the conferences, plus ACC's 2, and the Eastern BIG10 and BIG 12 teams make up the other. Maybe ND and one other are added.
In the Western conference, SEC West, PAC12 2, and Leftwestern BIG10 combines with Western Big 12 for the other. Maybe BYU and TCU added somewhere.
The bad thing is that some may not be included in the expansion uninvited to the party so to speak. Maybe they'll add a 5th division to each conference made up of the rest of the best competitors from the WAC, MAC, etc...
I don't know why I am posting this will go this way. I'm caring less and less about sports as the days go on. Just thought this would be the model so someday someone can say, "You DID NOT call this." ....because no one will remember I posted this. Lol

I drink it and use it in recipes.
But how do you make your own buttermilk?
Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
Sort of churn it. Had planned on buying an antique churn from my sister, but she passed unexpectedly and her dk husband sold all of her stuff or burned it within weeks of her passing. So, I mix it a different way, powered by pure and undiminished spite (not really, but I could) either slowly or if needed in a hurry for a recipe, through low temp cooking to speed up the reaction.
I use lemon juice to initiate the reaction.

This post got me thinking "What is the actual difference between "Organic" milk and regular milk"? So I googled it:
The only thing that I found was that it is heated a lot higher which would make it more intensely processed, so the term "organic" is misleading. But it would also explain why the shelf life is longer. But at 280˚F you are going to change some of its structure so again the term "organic" is misleading.
One of my friends has a massive milking operation and all the cows do is eat grass and grain and get milked. I guess the local distributor just does the standard pasteurization and homogenization.
I checked the price at WalMart in Bowling Green for "Organic" milk and it is $5.87; so you are getting a real bargain.
