Thunderstorms

 We finally got a line of thunderstorms that broke through the anti-rain dome that covers Rancho Snakebit here in Seguin.

I have the trucks in their protected positioning because in the last 14 years we've been here, we've lost about seven oak trees. You can see the last one over the hood of the white Ford.

 In the last week or so, San Antonio has gotten at least 6" of rain. The military grade alarm clock at the top gate says we got about an inch just some 35 miles east of S.A.

The autostereogram

 

 

Is a way to look at 3D images without any help.

 

There are two ways to do it. One is to kinda try to look (focus your eyes) about eight inches behind the picture until you can see the 3D image.

The other is to cross your eyes and slowly uncross them until you see the picture.

 

This one- when you finally get it- is Legionnaires standing in columns.

Not only NO!

 But FUCK NO!

America has no business doing Jack Shit with anything involving those terrorists in Gaza. 

"The United States and Israel have discussed the possibility of Washington leading a temporary post-war administration of Gaza, according to five people familiar with the matter.

The "high-level" consultations have centered around a transitional government headed by a U.S. official that would oversee Gaza until it had been demilitarized and stabilized, and a viable Palestinian administration had emerged, the sources said."

Scammers stole almost $400,000  of cheese in Jolly Olde England

Neal’s Yard Dairy, a cheese retailer based in London, was recently robbed of more than 20 tons of cheddar in a sophisticated scam. After the company was approached by a fraudster posing as a legitimate wholesaler, employees shipped 950 clothbound cheeses to France — only to realize the whole thing had been a setup.

 

 

Archaeologists in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii have uncovered a painting which depicts what might be the precursor to the Italian pizza.  

 

The flatbread depicted in the 2,000-year-old fresco "may be a distant ancestor of the modern dish", Italy's culture ministry said.

But it lacks the classic ingredients to technically be considered a pizza.

The fresco was found in the hall of a house next to a bakery during recent digs at the site in southern Italy.

The discovery was made this year during new excavations of Regio IX in the centre of Pompeii, one of the nine districts that the ancient site is divided into. 

 

A tale of a bored octopus

 Daily Telegraph article published in October 2008 describes the exploits of an octopus named Otto, who, acquiring a taste for chaos after learning how to short circuit the light above his tank by squirting jets of water at it, embarked on a rampage of escalating mischief. In addition to electrical tampering, by the end of the spree Otto’s misdemeanours included damaging his tank by throwing stones against the glass, juggling hermit crabs, rearranging the tank “much to the distress of his fellow occupants,” and squandering the resources of the aquarium staff, who took some time to get to the bottom of the matter.

 

 A Brit accidentally bought back his stolen car

 April 25 (UPI) -- A British man who paid more than $26,000 to replace his stolen car later discovered he had unknowing bought his own vehicle back.

Ewan Valentine, 36, from Solihull, England, said he discovered Feb. 28 that his black 2016 Honda Civic Type-R had been stolen from its overnight parking space. Valentine said he was distraught about the loss and hoped to replace the car with a nearly-identical vehicle.

"Sure enough, I found one for sale. Same color, same year, same custom exhaust system," he wrote on social media.

The license plates and VIN were different from his stolen vehicle, so he didn't think too much about the similarities until he had already paid more than $26,000 for the replacement ride.

The remains of a young Roman man were uncovered in the ruins of Herculaneum—the other city destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE—in the 1960s. His remains revealed something remarkable that’s never been seen before or since: Soft tissue vitrification.

That’s both the name of my new grindcore band and the term for this never-before-seen occurrence that only adds to the horrors we know those in the vicinity of Vesuvius experienced

Canada's election is over.

 Sorry it's so late, but Canada isn't really on my radar.

 They voted for Kier Tredeau even harder than they did for Fideleto the first couple of times.

Now they're going to get what they voted for even harder and won't understand WHY the Thought Police are blocking their bank accounts for wrongthink.

The ones I really feel for is the Conservatives that are going to be stitting in Stir after they're rounded up and then having to listen to Progs bitch and moan about being thrown in there with them because they didn't believe hard enough.

I'm sure Neil has a huge sore spot about lying

 Especially in a place that's supposed to be free of those kind of accusations.

 

Like Senate hearings are supposed to be.
Even though you take an oath to tell the truth....

Since Kenny is starting to slow his blog down

 And I'm nowhere near his ability to spin a tale. Or even write coherently more than a few sentences.
I thought that I'd maybe take over his Friday "She's taken, man" that I noticed had been missing for a while, so I decided to look.
Even going back a year, It seems like it just dropped off with no history at all.
I wonder if this is something Kenny did, or it's a Blogger thing?

 

Should I even try?
I know I won't be throwing news blurbs up like he did, but maybe I'll start throwing insignificae up as I see it.

So I was out doing some grocery shopping

When this song came on the muzac machine and it gave me an earworm.

The best way to get rid of it is to share it.

You're welcome.

Kurt's driving lesson for today

 

This happened to me three times today.

I went to Seguin to do some shopping on the northbound 466 and twice SB on 1117 toward Nixon to get a round bale.

All three of the vehicles were doing 10MPH below the speed limit until I could pass them. THEN they all decided to put their foot in the carburetor.

 

1- TX law Sec. 545.053 (b)2 says (b) An operator being passed by another vehicle:....(2) may not accelerate until completely passed by the passing vehicle. 

I'm sure other states have the same kind of statutes.

 


AND-

 

2- I'll bury my speedometer getting passed you so just keep doing whatever you were doing as I drive the speed limit.

 

This ends Kurts' driving tips for today.
Buckle up, enjoy the ride and keep your hands inside the vehicle. (Just like they told the girl crew of Bezos thrill ride)

You didn't know you need to watch this

Via DMF.

I'm seeing a lot of doom and gloom about the stock market

 Because of tariff wars- maybe?

If you were thinking about getting into the stock market, now would be almost as good as back in May(?) of 2020 when America shut down and stocks tanked.

I put some $1500 into Jack in the Box when it hit around $8.50/share and sold it at around $22 to put into something else that was paying better dividends. Now, my $1,000 in dividends I reinvested at $12.45 bought a lot more than it would have two weeks ago when it was in the $20 range.

It's all in perspective and over the long haul, stocks generally gain.

Maybe not as much as you want, but unless you choose the wrong time to sell, you'll be a little better.

 

I also took a shot at doing a DRIP on penny stocks at $2.24/stock. $250 worth with a steady 4 cents dividend every three months which will buy me 2-3 stocks this time and 3-4 next time.

It's not another remake

Lets hope it's not woke.
