Good morning, good people!

It has been a week of waiting for war to break out. News is rarely ever good anymore.

I have gone hiking, visited a historic site, and will have to wait until next week to post photos.

Meanwhile, I will be in transit until 6 or 7 tonight, and will check in on you then.

Feel free to post whatever came across your radar. The video I saw that I want to recommend is Neil Oliver interviewing Whitney Webb. 1hr.22 minutes. Many topics were covered, all of interest.

having power issues (likely due to hurricane Debby) consider this a poor replacement for the usual Evening Blues until or if he gets the problem fixed.

I will post a few things that I come across in the comment section.

Happy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

San Diego has a horse racing track at the fairgrounds in Del Mar but I'm not a gambler so the ponies don't hold much interest for me. In the 47 years I've lived in San Diego I've been to the track a grand total of one time and that was 30 some odd years ago. Last Sunday I made my second visit there when I went with some friends to celebrate a birthday. One of those friends has a connection at the track and was able to get us into the paddock and along the rail for one of the races. It was a fun day and everybody had a great time and even though I didn't bet any money I felt like a winner just for the opportunity to photograph something new and different.

This is the kind of thing I expect to see at the Olympics. It's a pleasant relief from the China bashing in the last couple of days with the US falsely accusing Chinese athletes of using performance enhancing drugs.

Still on vacation.

I stayed up way too late last night with friends I haven't seen for a long time.

Headed back home tomorrow.

This is an open thread for open discussion.

Thanks folks.

Presidential candidate Lord Voldemort has revealed in a shocking Daily Prophet exclusive that Harry Potter plans to kill and enslave muggles should he defeat Voldemort in November's election. Lord Voldemort goes on to accuse Potter that he is a Deep State operative who works with the Ministry of Magic and is a disciple of pedophile, groomer Dumbledore.

Economics Anyone?

The American stock market crashed slightly on Monday. It was the sharpest decline in two years. In Japan, the decline was much worse, as the Japanese stock markets had their worst day since 1987.

On Tuesday everything basically returned to 'normal'... maybe. Whatever normal is. The economy's growth seems to be slowing, inflation is real, the job market isn't that great and a recession may be coming. The experts aren't so sure if normal is coming back, and neither am I.
