Putting More War on the Credit Card

Trump has seemingly lost his mind, flip flopping like a fish out of water. It is difficult to keep track of his delusions as he drives the global economic system toward recession and depression. Bibi must have some serious dirt from Epstein on the Donald and perhaps Melania as well to entice the war with Iran. The majority of the world sees the US (and Israel) as unhinged, destructive, and vengeful. As Trump told us...We can't afford child care or medical care because we have to pay for more war.
Just charge it...

Afternoon folks!

Ok, ready to tiptoe through the blues? Starting out we've got an album of Chicago blues harmonica play Junior Well's early recordings, followed by a compilation album of guitarist Earl Hooker's recordings. After that there's a live album of Muddy Waters and Otis Spann from 1958, originally recorded to an acetate record the first couple of cuts have some occasional noise, but it's worth it. Following that is a mostly acoustic album from John Lee Hooker. Then it's on to blues rock with an audiophile remaster of The Band's "Music From Big Pink" and then we finish up with an album from Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good people!

I hope everyone is hanging in there, and actually enjoying your weekend.

Although the country is in a drought, we have only had a few consecutive weeks here and there without rain in my area. Too bad we don't have a garden, but there are numerous reasons that make it sort of a waste of time and labor.

Morning

Going to start the day with an article on setting and storing food back for future use. It is a life long habit. Even in the best of times I try and have all the food necessary for the livestock in the barn by September for the upcoming winter.

Archaeology and History Tidbits
These are some interesting things! For example, the bones of D’Artagnan, one of the heroes featured in the book The Three Musketeers, may have been found. This is cool!

Although the book is a novel (more about the book and it’s writer(s) here) , D’Artagnan was a real person, and he died via a musket shot to the throat while conquering Masstricht during the Franco-Dutch War. It’s believed that he was buried in Masstricht in a church near the French camp. And, lo and behold, an archaeological dig (after a hole appeared under tiles in the church) has found his possible remains, underneath where the altar table used to sit. DNA testing and other work will confirm the find, eventually.

All for one, and one for all!!! The three musketeers and D’Artagnan! Image from www.completefrance.com
