henry,

I went out this afternoon and cut all of my roses to make a huge, end-of-summer bouquet. We are supposed to get into the 20's Thursday and Friday.
That is also why I filled my car up today.

This is way early for this amount of cold. Usually freezing doesn't hit here until after Thanksgiving.

I hate the cold because my blood pressure medicine makes me super-sensitive to it. I have on a hooded sweatshirt over my pajama top right now!

While Democrats continue to leak false narratives, here’s what the actual witness interviews would show you:

- No aid was ever traded for any political investigations
- Ukraine aid continued to flow WITHOUT new investigations
- There is zero basis for impeachment

Halloween is coming!
A man is walking home alone late one foggy night...

when behind him he hears:

Bump...

BUMP...

BUMP...

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.

BUMP...

BUMP...

BUMP...

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him

FASTER...

FASTER...

BUMP...

BUMP...

BUMP...

He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him.

However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping

clappity-BUMP...

clappity-BUMP...

clappity-BUMP...

on his heels, the terrified man runs.

Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, the man locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.

Bumping and clapping toward him.

The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup!

Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...

and,

(hopefully you're ready for this!!!)

The coffin stops

https://www.foxnews.com/world/british-army-soldier-mountain-tallest-peaks-record

A Nepalese man and former soldier in the British army reached the top of Mount Shishapangma in China on Tuesday, completely obliterating a world record for climbing the world's 14 highest peaks in record time - in his case, just 189 days.

Very impressive. Just imagine the logistics and paperwork involved to even attempt this. He must had a team backing him up on this.

He descended from K2, probably the hardest, most dangerous descent in the world and was on top of Broad Peak two days later?
Yeah, they're in the same area but I would not be surprised if there is more, or less, to this story.

Iggy, That's why I assumed he had help. Just logistically it's a nightmare. He/they must have set this up like a military campaign.

Texas Liberty Gal, I have LONG been fascinated as to the life and times of SAINTS. I have numerous books as to the LIFE/LIVES of SAINTS.
There are so many SAINTS, that are not KNOWN, by the General Christian populace. Dozens, Hundreds.
I have a St Michael Statue in my Rock Garden, in front of my home. I have a Jesus, and a St Anthony statue. I have a ST JOSEPH, Jesus's own DADDY. I also have a lovely Blessed Virgin Mary Statue, whom I ask for intersession EVERY DAY.
I love to read about venerated Saints, that I never knew, or had/have never heard of. I love NON-FICTION...(IMHO) Vs. FICTION.
Great post TLG.
I also have a ST JUDE the APOSTLE statue.

Tom R:

This was willowed on the last thread (even though I wrote it way before I caught up) in order to avoid that fate. I thought. So I'm pasting it here, before I catch up on this thread.

"The $1 million dollar question I have been asking ever since the Mueller SC ended is, assuming there is exculpatory evidence, why hasn't AG Barr dropped the [Flynn] case?"

I'm not sure what the technicalities are in dropping a case that you've already won. Even if you were to recommend no jail time at sentencing, Flynn would remain guilty of the crime. At this point I think it's up to the judge to do the dismissing, if Flynn's ultimate objective is being declared not guilty, or at the very least proving that the prosecution gained his plea through corrupt practices, which certainly should nullify his conviction, IMO.

Even if Barr could bring the whole shebang to a halt, he'd need a specific predicate for doing so, probably a legal predicate, but certainly one that would damp down the political blow-back. Considering everything else on his plate right now, if Sidney Powell can lay that foundation for him, why not let her? She's certainly doing a hell of job, from my admittedly not-a-lawyer perspective.

Clarice:

Thanks for setting me straight on the Sandman status.

He already had 3 World Records before he started. Besides the main goal he broke 6 other records on the way.

This guy is the real-life Mitch Rapp/Scot Harvath of climbers.

I really want to see this on TV. It's a heroic [expletive deleted] accomplishment. Hell I don't like walking uphill lately. But this,..

And he did have teams of climbers to work with. At first glance he was accompanied on every climb, but the other team members split, say 50/50, on the climbs. Some of those climbers will share records with him, but he was the only one of them to do all 14 peaks.

[jimmyk]

I'm not sure what the technicalities are in dropping a case that you've already won.

Isn't it more like what happens when new evidence appears after a conviction? The previous verdict is vacated (maybe not the right word), with agreement of both the prosecution and the judge. At least that's what I know from all of my years of watching crime dramas on TV. So "dropping the case" isn't the right terminology, but it amounts to the same thing.

Based on a report by Climate Central published in Nature Communications.

Now, for the reveal:

https://www.climatecentral.org/

"Climate Central surveys and conducts scientific research on climate change and informs the public of key findings. Our scientists publish and our journalists report on climate science, energy, sea level rise."

Meaning a propaganda organization, but it was published in a reputable journal. Right?

About that journal:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_Communications

"Starting October 2014, the journal only accepted submissions from authors willing to pay an article processing charge."

"In January 2016, all content became freely accessible to the public."

So if you are willing to pay for "peer-review" and other administrative costs they will put your article on their website since they don't actually have a print publication, possibly because no one was willing to pay for it.
