Got down to 11° last night here at the farm. Really clear skies though, with billions of stars and of course, the planets!
Just the other day they were lined up like aircraft coming in for a landing.

One Week Down, 207 Remaining
Trump has sucked all the air out of the news cycle. On Joe Rogan Trump mused, "I don't know why the media is so fixated on me". To which Joe responded, "I know why...cause you say lots of crazy shit!". Well Trump has been true to form in the first week of his presidency. Larry Johnson wrote an article about the first 24 hours with the title "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", in which he lists all the many executive orders and actions. It is an apt title. To my mind in general he's better on the domestic front than foreign policy. Larry Johnson thinks he's being misled by the CIA, et al. about foreign issues. One thing seems certain, it will be an interesting and entertaining 4 years. Of course there's much more than just Trump news this week. The EU and UK continue their decline, BRICS continues to rise, Ukraine is in dire straits, the Gaza ceasefire is temporarily holding although the IDF continues the capture of the West Bank, plus more below the fold.
Album of the Week 1-25-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 01/25/2025 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
Leading off this week is an album from Magic Slim followed by some more Chicago blues from Detroit Junior, Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson and Queen Sylvia Embry. After that it's on to blues rock with albums from John Mayall and Catfish Hodge. I've found some more Funkadelic albums hiding in the basement and there's another one this week. After that we've got some acoustic country blues similar to the work of Jimmy Rodgers from a fellow named Cliff Carlisle. We finish off with an album from a great dobro player, Mike Auldridge.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
