Butterfly effect

Had a great Labor Day weekend. Spent it up at the farm harvesting crops and working on my combination pumphouse/outhouse, just in time for the family to arrive for a kayak trip down river.
Six of us floated down and stopped about halfway to have a sack lunch. Didn't see any river otters this time but plenty of eagles fishin' for lunch.

The Weekly Watch
Submitted by Lookout on Sun, 09/01/2024 - 6:50amCreating Chaos
Seems everywhere the US goes, chaos follows in our wake. Color revolutions, assassinations, and out right coups are the US stock and trade. NATO, guided by the US, invaded and is occupying a small part of Russia. Ukraine's front line is in collapse. The Gaza genocide continues, as Israel and Hezbollah lob missiles and drones at one another. Jake the snake Sullivan visits China to make threats of more sanctions.

All this and more below the fold...
