Surely It Can't Get Any Weirder? 'Cluck Cluck'
Local news is getting weird, even as national news is climbing out of the hand basket of weirdness into insanity, or something like that. From Alligator Alcatraz to some dude killing firefighters perhaps because he once wanted to be one... to finding Travis Decker, who killed his three daughters and then disappeared into the forest. And no, they haven't found him yet. The news is just head shakingly insane. But the weirdness doesn't have to be all bad; here's something fun in local news, a T-Rex race!
Magenta, Columbia, and Riff Raff out and about yesterday!

Update on a New Server Migration
Submitted by JtC on Tue, 07/01/2025 - 12:06pmGood news, folks...
I bit the bullet. We're currently migrating to a new server. Hopefully it will be ready for tomorrow, and HOPEFULLY this resolves the slow down issue.
It cost an extra $200.00 for the migration, so if anyone can help defray the cost it would be greatly appreciated.
If the site appears any wackier than it does now, the move to a new server is probably the reason.
Hopefully I'll have more info tomorrow.
Please be aware that any comments or new essays from now until the migration is completed may be lost in the transition.
Charging ahead

I know a lot of folks here are not very interested in electric vehicles, for whatever reason. Many are like me who just love the sound of a powerful V-8 going through the gears. Motorheads they call us. And I still roll out my '99 Vette several times a year when the weather is nice, or when we have to go multi-state for one reason or another.

Submitted by Lookout on Sun, 06/29/2025 - 6:34amA War of Narratives
It is interesting to me that there's no discussion of the illegal nature of the strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, but instead the argument is about the degree to which the strike degraded Iran's nuclear program. Oddly enough, I'm hoping Trump's false narrative of "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated" holds. If that becomes the accepted position then there's no reason to strike Iran again. However, the Neocons aren't having it. They finally achieved their "Bomb, Bomb Iran" moment and they want more. Meanwhile the Ukraine proxy war has faded from the news cycle...in part because Ukraine is losing.
