Good morning folks. Cant Stop the Macedonian Signal because of technical difficulties has asked me to publish a placeholder open thread for her today.
Consider this a truly "open" thread or an essay about nothing if you will. I will try to add some content as time allows. Until then does anyone really know what time it is? If so please clue me in.
The Land Of Flat Water (Part One)
Submitted by PriceRip on Mon, 05/10/2021 - 10:03pmIts name derives from the Otoe word (That I cannot pronounce well.) Nebrathka ("Flat Water") which the french trappers translated to Platte, and the rest of us transliterated into Nebraska:
The Platte River flows, a mile wide and an inch deep (not much of an exaggeration), through the state of Nebraska.
Last Thoughts on Scottish Election
Submitted by NYCVG on Mon, 05/10/2021 - 5:30pmAndrew Neil is leading the Post-Election Doublethink: Victory is failure. Failure is victory. No-one is interested. You didn’t vote. A vote for the SNP or the Greens is a vote for independence. A vote for the SNP of Greens is not a vote for independence: https://t.co/PrHUgonAvq

Sugar, the Tobacco of Our Time
Dr Robert Lustig has tried to warn us for years about the dangers of sugar, particularly the fructose portion of table sugar. His presentation, "The Bitter Truth About Sugar" from over a decade ago, has been viewed many millions of times. His big push is to promote the consumption of Real Food rather than the processed junk that comprises the standard American diet (SAD). He had a discussion this week with neurologist David Perlmutter.
UK PROPAGANDA: "Historic Win, Short of a simple majority"
Submitted by NYCVG on Sat, 05/08/2021 - 1:58pmis like saying "won the baseball game despite not having hit any homers." Utter nonsense. Runs across the plate are what counts. And your Party Vote, Plus your affiliated Party coalition is what determines results. Just like in Israel.

Pablo Picasso
Today I am going to indulge in gossip/discussion about problem behaviors. A new problem showed up yesterday. A note on the front door mentioned I had two extra cattle in my field and pre-thanking for my patience, which is running thin at the moment. Yep, two young Angus heifers in the field, from the tracks they had been chased all around the buildings, various equipment and through the orchard. Some panel fencing used to protect the water pump and plastic pipes were moved to block the heifers in an area by the corral, gates had been left open in several places between various fields and several sections of fence was damaged by the heifers when jumping the fence and not clearing it completely.

The First 100 Days: Obama Delivered Trump. We Must Break the Duopoly or Biden Will Deliver Something Much Worse
Detroit, May 7, 2021 — The first 100 days of a president’s term are historically their best chance to enact their agenda. In 1933, as he took office at the height of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democrats convened a special session of Congress and ran the legislature like a New Deal printing press.
