Today is Aphabet Day; Have a Very Jerry Xmas

-

Aphabet because no "L".

Image is Giordano Bruno, because I'm confident that he actually was real and stands as a testimony to the nature of all authoritarian organizations. Throughout history some humans have been capable, from time to time, of empathy, kindness, charity, love, and goodwill to others. They have even been able to act accordingly, again, from time to time. They have generally been able to do so without and usually in spite of, leaders, messiahs, saviors, dogmas and organizations. Dogmas simply bring us more Brunos.

Whatever your holiday, or lack thereof, here's Jerry.

Off to see Mom, and mtn. opens at 12 for work followed by xmas dinner with instructors at The Painted Fish, a treat it should be.

Thanks for being here, now. Smile

Happy Christmas to you and to one and all here at c99p. I am enjoying an easy morning on the sofa with a cup of tea, a little morning wake and bake, and a little blogging. We got an unusual Christmas Eve rain, which turned to a dusting of snow overnight. It was lovely this morning, but didn't last long. We are expecting actual snow on Friday - we'll see.

Had an enjoyable evening with the family. Good food and good company. Today, we'll be home while they go to the in-laws. We will enjoy the respite.

Hope all are safe and in a good place. The holidays can be difficult and triggering. Love and hugs to all. Pleasantry

Gratefully dead, as some of the brain cells sell me.
Enjoy your walk about. We are spoiling the birds with new
squirrel proof feeders. Gifted a big bag of bio-degradedable
clay shot for the sling shot to entertain the bushy tailed tree rats.

Sunny and calm here. May go for a walk. Cook a roast and create
fond memories for those no longer here to participate.

Best all!

evidence shmevidence

In late September, the leaders of Britain, France, and Germany rallied behind the United States, saying Iran bore responsibility for a Sept. 14 attack on two oil facilities owned by Aramco, the Saudi state oil company. Early last year, a U.N. panel of experts concluded that Iran had violated a U.N. arms embargo in Yemen by failing to prevent the transfer of Iranian-made missile parts to Yemen, where they were used in an attack on Nov. 4, 2017.

But that effort to broaden international support for the campaign to censure Iran hit a bump earlier this month, when U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres issued a report saying there was no evidence to categorically support claims by the United States and Saudi Arabia that Iran carried out the attack on the Aramco facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais or a series of earlier attacks on Saudi targets, including a May attack on an oil facility in the town of Afif and a pair of attacks on Abha International Airport in the summer.

“At this time, [the U.N. secretariat] is unable to independently corroborate that the cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles used in those attacks were of Iranian origin and were transferred in a manner inconsistent with” the Iran nuclear deal, according to the report, which we are highlighting as our Document of the Week.
