Poor lonely Tuesday Open Thread looking for host...

Ole QMS and I have been doing double duty filling in, and we sure would appreciate some help. There is a certain pleasure in having a weekly outlet. I enjoy putting together the Weekly Watch and learning from the process, but it doesn't have to be a labor intensive piece. A poem, piece of art, book that speaks to you, meaningful article you read... You can create whenever you want and schedule it to post Tuesday morning. In fairness it becomes a weekly task, and that is kinda the issue, twice a week becomes a burden for both of us. There's no requirement to respond to comments....do so only as you want. I hope you'll consider the proposition.

I hope you're all having a lovely spring...

Daffodils
William Wordsworth
1770 (Wordsworth House) – 1850 (Cumberland)
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
"April, come she will,
May, she will stay.
June, she'll changed her tune,
July, she will fly.
August, die she must,"
- A Child's Nursery Rhyme.

The floor is yours. I'll be at Trade Day this morning and won't be around. Please think about hosting. I tried to demonstrate how easy it can be...feature a poem or song or an article or a book or the tweet of the week or....
PM me, QMS. and/or JtC to volunteer. Thank for considering the possibility.

Nice poem about the daffodils
Wordsworth has a way with words
We cut a few daffy's to bring inside before the temperatures dropped. Brisk and bracing now with a
wind chill value in the single digits. Plenty of wind, but the sun is shining.
Also wish another member of our community would consider adopting the Tuesday OT. I am
pretty much flat out at work, but it is easy enough to toss something of interest together.
Thanks for hosting!

Back home...
from a busy Trade Day. Spring break here and lots of families were there. I bought a few lemons and avocados...The Latino traders always have the best, plus they are reasonably priced.
Had bad news yesterday about my 30 YO Geo Tracker...needs a new head gasket. Oh well, part of driving an old one. I'm having it repaired. Good chance to exercise the 22 year old truck.
Good luck with the work load, and have a good day!

War, what is good for, our elites absolutely every one of them
going back to before empty suit getting rid of Putin was a thing for
amerikkka the terrible.

I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish

now it's someone who Jews don't like"

At least Trump didn't...
kick off a hot war with Russia like Jomentia....calling for outright regime change.
So funny to me that the US sees Canada, the EU, Australia, and Japan as "the entire world", after all they make up less than one billion of the planet's 8 billion people. American arrogance is off the charts. We are easily the most propagandized people on Earth.
I've been enjoying Alex perspectives on the situation. (25 min)

Gonzalo is also insightful since he's in Ukraine, but quite long winded.

The first 30 min dives into Victoria Nulan's background which explains a lot.
It will be 70 today, but tomorrow night is a wild storm with 40-60 MPH straight line winds. Luckily for us it is coming from the NW, and the mountain shield us from that direction.
Thanks for Caity's piece. Take care and have a good day!

It's another cold one here in Chitown although tomorrow
it will hit 70 with rain and then back to the 50's if we are lucky.
Thanks for the video's....Alex and Gonzo are both spot on. Alex notes that
event the walkback is hardly a walkback and Gonzo on Nuland who has always
been anti-Russia, anti Putin, pro war.
Come April Fool's Day americans hopefully will see we are the fools! The elites
live in such a bubble where any, any outside thought is considered Witchcraft
and you will be burned at the stake or sent to Belmarsh/Gitmo or some other blacksite

I am anxious about Gonzalo Lira
He is trapped in Kharkiv while reporting on the Ukraine conflict. I imagine that many in the Ukrainian military would like to silence him if they could find out where he lives. He has already given out too many clues in his reports.
Ukraine: The Economic Fallout
Good morning Lookout et. y'all -
I will not (and cannot) take over Tuesdays. That said, I have nonetheless written and scheduled an OT for the morning of Tuesday, April 5, 2022, but can't host it. That's at least one less for you guys.
be well and have a good one
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
An interesting way to get the voters attention.

It would ruin their propaganda efforts.
Oh, you know
It's just nazis doing nazi shit. But it's OK cause the 'mericun hyperbola stands to gain!
If anyone can not see beyond this BS, they are probably CNN/FOX/NBC watchers.
Zionism is a social disease
During WWll in Ukraine
there were tens of thousands of Nazi collaborators.
It's clear their offspring migrated to America and have gone forth and mulitplied.
Just sayin'.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Poor lonely Tuesday
el’s offer of covering a one-off Tuesday is a generous offer, and made me wonder whether community members would find it more attractive to offer a one off on a selected Tuesday, rather than a full-time commitment?

That is a great idea Janis!
Any volunteers welcome.

I will sign up for any Tuesday in May
I will be sleeping when it posts, but that doesn’t matter since the community does its own thing. Any content or expression one begins the open thread with, will do.
Easy, no?
