When Nixon finally did resign, we were on alert, Pres Ford had been fully briefed on his options in case of attack and we sweated until the Soviets stood down after President Ford had taken office.

I’ve been harvesting vine ripened cherry tomatoes for 2 weeks. 😋🍅

glennlab replies on May 30, 2022:

none of my strawberries have made it into the house yet, nor any of my cherry tomatoes.That's the fun of gardening.

The older I get, the more life means to me.

Smash yellow jackets with your flip flop.

glennlab replies on May 30, 2022:

@Garban when wasp season first started, I was knocking down a dozen a day on my porch and eaves, it has slowed down a whole lot.

The older I get, the more life means to me.

glennlab replies on May 30, 2022:

I just knock their nests down with a broom if they are too close

I don't know the name of the flowers, but I liked them

Robecology comments on May 30, 2022:

I got turned on to the "Seek" app by a naturalist friend,,,,and it works amazingly well. Use the free version. It's fast, and simple. It immediately ID'ed "Blue columbine" from the pics you shared! ...

glennlab replies on May 30, 2022:

thanks

Kind of makes you wonder why cops get paid more than firemen.

Rignor comments on May 30, 2022:

I say Fuck the Fire Department all the time. Then again, I have a professional beef with most of them.

But have you written a song yet? lol

What I found from image search : - Amelanchier alnifolia ( Saskatoon serviceberry ) - Aquilegia Songbird Series ( Columbine / Songbird 'Blue Bird' ) - Sedum spathulifolium ( Yellow Stonecrop )

glennlab replies on May 30, 2022:

you are good, I take thousands of pictures that I have no idea what it is other than I like it. Thank you.

I arrived in Portland this afternoon, Multnoma Falls was my first picture stop

Can passengers aboard Amtrak from CA see any of them?

I am tired of hearing that assault rifles are needed to hunt pigs and coyotes.

Matias comments on May 28, 2022:

To be fair: sometimes cops do act like heroes (and some of them die doing their job). They are not always cowards.

glennlab replies on May 28, 2022:

But in Uvalde, they were, and most were there as part of the border beef up by DPS, and are supposed to be the cream of the crop, top cops.

REPUGS WANT THEIR GUNS.

Is it a crime to publicly threaten the government?

glennlab replies on May 26, 2022:

It is a violation of several statutes unless he was speaking from the house floor

dalefvictor comments on May 18, 2022:

That is the first stop many make, but there are a number of water falls in this area and they are all notable. One has to get to the old highway to get to them but it is more than worth the effort. There are also many trails to hike the area. One leads to the top of this falls where the view is ...

glennlab replies on May 19, 2022:

that was my trip today. my ex is from Camas, so we have done tons of hiking and traveling on the hiways and byways in Wa and Or.

I am finally all packed for my first trip to the Portland area in over 20 years.

Maine is still the one state I haven't been to, going out to Oregon and Washington, but I will send pics.

I know how he feels.

Zoohome comments on May 16, 2022:

Oh the paper towel one!!! 😅🤣🤣

glennlab replies on May 17, 2022:

I have been so tempted to do that one.

this reminds me of our first kitchen, Kirsten chose avocado green as our wedding gift color.

Julie808 comments on May 15, 2022:

And if it wasn't avocado green, it was harvest gold... I was happy when almond beige came onto the scene, as it's easier to decorate around it. (Still have the almond appliances!)

glennlab replies on May 16, 2022:

We had the harvest gold washer and dryer,

Probably not the right group for this but why can't we make oil companies produce more oil?

puff comments on May 15, 2022:

Look up how much of the worlds oil is extracted from 3 countries; Iran, Venezuela and Russia. Production of oil is not the problem, self inflicted market closures ie sanctions are.

glennlab replies on May 15, 2022:

@puff Having grown up in the oil patch (SW La and SE Tex) I know a lot about petrochemicals, drilling, refining and fracking. Chemical fracking was illegal in most states prior to the 1973 oil embargo, prior to that they used almost exclusively HE for completion. Slant drilling, now a common practice, was also illegal. We still vent criminal amounts of methane into atmosphere.

glennlab replies on May 15, 2022:

@puff crude oil is graded on a sliding scale that depends on a multitude of factors. Shale oil is not a single type of oil, you are probably referring to tar sands oil which contains a large amount of sand and pitch. Shale oil ranges from natural gas to pitch and everything in between. The vast amount that has been recovered thus far is methane, a very high quality feeder stock.

refining capacity. Several units are down for programed maintenance with no urgency to bring them back on line. A refinery may appear to be fully operational to the untrained eye, but at any given time one or more units will be down for maintenance, when they want to expedite the rebuilds, they ...

glennlab replies on May 15, 2022:

@NHjulie It would take an act of congress to take away their subsidies. The oil companies have been fighting government regulation since the 1880s and winning the long battle. We are looking at a few home grown companies and a multitude of foreign firms (Shell, BP, Pemex, Opec). A lowering of sanctions on Venezuelan oil would alleviate all the crude needs for the Americas as would removing the Iranian sanctions meet the needs of Europe. It would have the added benefit of removing the Russian oil demands from the market. One of the problems is that we are in the normal shut down cycle for most refineries to convert to summertime fuel mixes. The refineries' PR people are good, with over 140 years of bamboozeling the public and bribing congressmembers, state governments, and regulators in general.

@NHjulie We currently produce more than we use and have since during the Obama administration. We are a net exporter of unleaded gasoline and export crude oil .

While out on a walk this morning I came across this huge yuca.

Some usually die after flowering so enjoy it. The bloom might attract bats or moths at night, so get the infrared camera filter ready.
