The other day we were discussing global warming and CO2 levels. I found this chart which show simplistically that there is not a lot of facts to support the "science". We are not even close to the Medieval Warming, Roman Warming or Minoan Warming periods.

It is important to remember that during the Medieval Warming period the Vikings settle in Greenland. We are far far away from that period of warmth. Plus the world did not end because of those warming periods. We are being sold a bill of goods.

That's not the only inconvenient truth to their lies.
Happy Birthday to your good wife!
Thanks!
I've served 3 times.
Only once for me. I got called several times over the years but I was working in another state and was excused.
 
I've got jury duty on Monday, December 6 here in Austin. Just completed online impaneling. Trip back to KY still looks like a go.

Sigh.
Did jury duty earlier in the year, child abuse case. Mother had 5 children all from different fathers and none living with her because the states (3 different ones) had taken them away from her and she was pending trials in every state for child abuse. The one here was to all jurors (except one) an open and shut case. The evidence (pictures, and testimony) was horrendous for what she did to her son. His body front and back looked worse than Rambo's back in the first movie. The boy (now 7) came in and testified against his mother dressed in a full Spiderman suit to mask his face. His testimony matched the police report and the testimony he had told them and the foster parents. Even when cross examined he never changed his story. Well, when the time came to reach a verdict 11 of us said guilty while one man said not guilty because he was not there to see it happen. Plus he said that black people have been mistreated historically by the police and that she said they treated her poorly during the arrest. He being black he said that he could not in good conscience send a black woman to prison which basically was in direct violation in what he said under oath as to being able to convict if evidence was convincing enough. Well, he changed the mind of every juror except me and two others. We held out and some began to grumble as to being hungry and wanting to go home. I was not giving in. She was charged with 2 counts, child abuse and enabling child abuse because she blamed a boyfriend she had in Chicago (before moving here) even though a expert doctor in child injuries said the child had old and new injuries that were new enough to happen here. Hospital nurses and doctors here said he came in for treatment and one time for 11 stitches to the face.

Well, the juror who would not convict put his hoodie over his head in defiance to look menacing I guess and got all but us three to agree to not guilty on the first count. I told him that I would not waiver unless he would compromise for a guilty plea on the second charge which would get a lesser sentence other wise we have a hung jury and it would be 6 months to a year before a retrial would happen since covid had her waiting in jail for about a year already. He said no so, I said then she will stay in jail until some other jury would have the case. He got pissed but then gave in. She got 3 years with one served and will be taken to Chicago to face trial there upon her release from prison here. Did not get what I wanted but, was not about to let this child abuser go free without some punishment.
 
Joe only played two years at Murray. WW2 and the marines interrupted. He was later a prison guard at The Castle on the Cumberland (Eddyville). He was shot and killed by his girlfriends son in an argument over a gun.

Have a similar story, but on a rape trial which I was a juror on. Watching Braves now, will elaborate tomorrow.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and cloudy. We're under severe thunderstorm watch. Front moving in. Stronger winds coming. Pup will start going crazy here in a few from all the booming and banging. Temperatures probably dipping down near lower 60s before climbing into upper 70s a bit later.

Braves beat Astros last night, 6-2. I watched first four innings. ATL looked good, but also lost starting pitcher, Charlie Morton, to a comebacker (right fibula fracture). Morton actually pitched really well the next inning.

Happy Hump Day.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Wednesday Morning D League

Woke up to a little fog this morning and a temperature of 57° and partly cloudy skies. Our high will be 77°. Very pleasant with 0% chance of rain.

Not an awful lot on the agenda today. The next two weeks will be hectic with a lot of things happening including a few concerts to attend and a couple of day trips. My wife is making a list of all the things we need to do around the house such as minor repairs and adding some more exterior lighting in the back. Always something.

Good morning all. Feels like Winter in the Buckeye state....30 out now....heading up to the low 50s.
About finished with all my 'projects' while the Mrs is gone. One or two more little things...then it's outside to gather up all the Summer yard decorations and store them in one of the sheds. Then, start mowing....perhaps the last time of the season. Doubt if I get it all mowed, but maybe at least the front and back yards. Then the chance of rain comes back in...so doubt there will be any mowing then.

Y'all have a good day.
 
Wasn't flipper a porpoise rather than a dolphin? Lol. I'm feeling a bit like I'm crazy, but I'd swear that was true
Flipper was a bottlenose dolphin She was very social and interacted with humans. A porpoise is shy, introverted and not as playful. A porpoise also prefers a little cooler water temperature and are smaller than dolphins.

Flipper is buried in the Florida Keys at the Dolphin Research Center in Marathon. If you are interested in dolphins, manatee, etc. and you are near Clearwater, FL there is the Clearwater Marina Aquarium that is a rehab center for marine life that have been injured and are brought there to rehab and recover to be released back into the Gulf.

It is the home of "Winter The Dolphin" who was the star of the movie Dolphin Tales. Winter is a permanent resident because the loss of the tail was too severe to be in the wild. An artificial tail was made for the dolphin to function in the rehab center and serve as the face of the rescue program of the aquarium.

My bro' told me the other day where he had read an article where those freighter ships are running out of food. Told him that's bad but should be no big deal...fill a small ship with food and take it out there. But he said the article said that some of these ship owners are losing so much money that they can't even do that. I find that hard to believe in that some of these shipping companies are huge...but maybe there's a couple smaller ones who are running on the edge so to speak (as a lot of companies do) and can't even do that.
Also, that many of the crew members are not being paid and are leaving the ships when/how they can.

But no worries...we have Joe and Pete in charge of things.

We're planning a trip to Florida this winter. May only be Orlando since we've gotten to set it up so late, but hoping to get to Clearwater on either side of the trip. Thank you for this
 
Good morning D League. It got down to 35 degrees in suburban Ashland last night as we had out first frost. Doesn't look like we will have any more for the next 8-9 days. Saw where Klobuchar wants to give Prince a Medal of Freedom because he "made our lives cooler." I didn't realize that was a criteria. Since it is, I am going to nominate Bert for one. Everyone have a great day.

Destroy everything. Build back stupider. - DNC 2022

Good morning, D-L!

A bit nippy out there in the Bluegrass. Foggy bottoms and frosted tops until the sun got to it a little while ago. Ran an early errand and just got back. Gonna do some work around the house today. Gonna add some insulation and find a cold beer at lunch... No idea why that's on my mind.

Isn't Klobuchar the one whose husband had the covid and was treated with hcq. "Saved his life" iirc was the quote. In spite of that, she ridiculed the president for taking it. Piece of work that one.

I'm interested in a bill that would lock up politicians and judges that lie, demonstrate hypocrisy, and sponsor or pass anythingthat violates the constitution or rule on anything against constitutional mandates. Instant revocation of their seats and new elections with appointments that must be ratified by the people.

No more excuses. When there are that many weeds in a field, it might just as well be bushhogged and plowed under. Start over again in the spring

Your are welcome. Most people who come to Florida fly down and go to Disney World or one of our beaches and never experience the off the beaten path of the most interesting places. My grand daughter visited a few summer ago and introduced me to this place.

She watched the movie and again, I had no idea Winter was just down the road. It is worth the trip.

Once the field is cleared do a control burn to rid of all impurities.
 
Watched a little of the MSU vs Vandy football game. I think we can get some this weekend against the Bulldogs. I'm looking for our D to get 3 picks and hold them under 17points.

Offense will need to be on their toes and finish plays. There will be opportunities for big plays.

Still have never been to Disney and will likely never go. The thought of going there always raised red flags for me. No real reason I knew about until the last 10 yrs.

I love the off the beaten path stuff. Meet some real people and see some beautiful things. Especially there in Florida.

I've spent some time outside St Pete. Tampa. Bonita Springs. St Augustine. Clermont. Orlando. Jupiter. and a few others. So much I still want to see

Saw where one of the local hospitals was giving free breast exams today. Wife didn't see the humor in me offering to set up a field office at our house to help with the overflow for those under 40 years of age. She is tuning into a curmudgeon.

Since they're having a hard time finding people to work these days, I appreciate your work ethic
 
Good morning D-League. Cool and clear in the east. Last night on my walk it was down in the 30s and overcast, and in the dark little pellets were hitting my face that felt like snowflakes but were probably just very fine sleet.

Found out today that my daughter in Kansas City's family will make it to Kentucky for a visit with my parents in November, just before Thanksgiving, so I'm planning my trip with my other daughter, and my son will drive up from Lexington. The forces converge from the west, east and south. I'm looking forward to that.
