Hell ain't half full yet.
Good morning everybody.
Hot temperatures here for a few days, with a lone shower Wednesday/Thursday.
Got some more green beans planted.
Corn is 2ft. tall and looking good.
Will head home this afternoon.
Picking up blips about the Graham death.
Some wild stuff out there, don't know who to believe. The only certainty is who not to believe. The government.
I suppose the story will sink or swim in the next few days.
If they get him in the ground quickly and with as little fanfare as possible, someone is trying to hide something. If, on the other hand, they stretch it out and milk the attention for all its worth, they are going to use it as a distraction from the failures in Iran and Ukraine.
Or somewhere in between.
So what have y'all doing this morning?
Thread is open.

Some things I’ve heard about his death
A Larry Johnson interview, probably posted on this site, says the White House is lying about him dying at home. By the timeline, he died in Ukraine. A poster on MIA suggested his rent boy forgot the safe word. A site investigating COVID vax deaths points out he was fully vaxxed (a video showed him getting the shot and encouraging others to do the same), and thinks there’s the possibility a side effect contributed.

I've read views
that it could have been Israel poisoned him to spark Trump's vengeance. He was his best golfing buddy.
Also, reports of Russian strikes on that same drone factory Graham toured that same day and the hotel he stayed at.
Both completely destroyed.
Dunno.
Could have been the neocons trying to stir things up.
Nothing is as it seems.
Thanks for stopping by.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Hey, e1!
If Mitch is dead, Hell is full.

Gotta make room for Trump
And Netanyahu, special place in Hell for both of them.
Adjoining cauldrons of fire, hopefully.
Thanks for the post.

Well, Hell is probably like mathematicians’ “Hilbert Hotel”

There’s always room for one more.
In fact, there’s always room for ℵ₀ (“aleph-null” = countable infinity) more.
I hope
Hell Hotel has a similar room layout, lotl!

Good morning e1, thanks for the OT. Frankly, I don't think
Graham would be worth anybody's trouble to snuff covertly. Mishap or mischance, while up to somethng other than lying around the house, perhaps, but some conspiracy to take him out on the sly, no way.
Alternatively, Novichok (TM), but why would the Brits take him out, even as a false flag?
Damn, suddenly my keyboarding tricks for tilda, tm and all that sort of shit don't work.
Meanwhile, Mitch is no longer among the sentient, I suspect somebody showed him some clips of Biden and said "I bet you can't do that" and he said "hold my beer".
Haven't checked world news, real world news, that is, so nothing much to say. Getting hot here, 86 projected, our backyard is just about always 10 degrees over, so whoooeee.
be well and have a good one

Mitch
is probably in the same Memory Care Center as Biden.
Haven't heard from Biden for awhile.
The line for Hell is gonna look like Disneyland switchbacks. Lines circling Hades.
Fitting.

Liberals?
Reasonable people?

One group consistently called for Graham's assasination
but it's useless to speculate without any sort of physical indications.
Sorry about
being AFK, in transit back home to suburbia.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.

Several articles have now reported
that COD was officially an “aortic tear”. Curious.
Not a mere aortic dissection, mind you- one of my parents, and three of my grandparents, died from those. Everyday business, where I was from. In my admittedly limited experience as a short-lived EMT in the rural South in the mid 70s, those were common, of course. Everyone smoked, had a resting BP north of 200mmHg systolic, and was on the conveyor belt to at least an infarct, by definition. Exploding aortic aneurysms were a dime a dozen, and the order of the day.
But aortic tears tended to be reserved (as diagnoses go) for trauma: generally impact-related. Impacts with steering wheels were the most common, of course, back when seat belts were an extra-cost option from the 60s. Or trees, if the victim was a donorcyclist (and yes, that is what we called them, even the riders among us). It was rare to see a diagnosis of “tear” in a 300lb chain smoker who never left their house, and loved alcohol even more than I do. Bang, zoom, done; but not a tear in sight.
I have questions. But my EMT cert lapsed in 1980 after I’d gone off to college, so I’m hardly one to even speak of such things today.
Having said that: Godspeed to Randy Mantooth, who along with Kevin Tighe, the immortal Bobby Troup, the equally immortal Julie London, and some other folks, taught innumerable small-town rural firefighters such as my father and I (in the first phalanx of EMTs in our flyover home state) how to conduct ourselves in the most professional way possible. Miss ya dad, and you done good. And I hope that you are indeed getting your kicks on Route 66.
And to this day, I still take my own vitals every morning with a sweep second hand, a manual BP cuff, and my own personal stethoscope.
With all due respect to Miss Lindsey: musta been some
poppers and a very energetic rentboy.
Or not. Oops, did I say that in my outside voice? (;-)
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
My Hubster lost a very close pal to an
almost identical diagnosis. His buddy was a wild (no exaggeration) man in his youth. Drank himself silly/nasty, loved vitamin C(ocaine), smoked like a chimney. However, he was smart and learned to cook at culinary school (taught by chefs). He made good coin in sales. He had emergency open heart surgery. Doing fine at first, but then bam (!), his worn out bode gave out to an aortic aneurysm. That caused internal bleeding which led to the fatal heart attack. Younger than us and Graham--in his mid 60s. So, my guess is the heart got Graham. Good riddance! My only complaint is Graham didn't suffer; but, oh well, c'est la vie. Rec'd!!
