It’s really getting hot now..

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Well, we seem to have turned the weather corner, and now it is full-blown summer.  It’s 92 right now.  Fortunately, my apartment stays cool, so I won’t have to put the A/C on until I start making supper.

Nothing major today–just the usual stuff.  Sometimes the usual stuff is good–no surprises.

Today is D day and  I have not heard or seen one word about it.

There used to be coverage of D day on the news, but it seems to have disappeared from sight.

Our kids are learning zip about history (even modern history), just as they are learning zip about most things. ( Transgenderism excepted).

On that rather low note, I will sign off.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Introducing: The Cuscus REPRINT

From July 16, 2019

I’ve wondered about this animal ever since I saw it in a picture book when I was six or seven years old. It’s called a cuscus–“common spotted cuscus,” if you want to be formal–and it’s hard to look up in the Internet because the computer keeps trying to direct you to “couscous,” which is something altogether different.

The cuscus lives in trees in the jungles of New Guinea and mostly comes out at night, when it’s difficult to see them: they’re very shy. There are also a few in Cape York, Australia. They have prehensile tails, very similar to a chameleon’s.

Byron the Quokka has been dropping subtle hints about being able to do his contest-runner job better if a cuscus might be hired to assist him. “You just want more pictures of cute animals to pump up viewership,” I parry. “So that’s a bad idea?” Well, he’s got me there. Anyway, if you can’t trot out a cuscus or a potto now and then, what’s the point of blogging?

Fantastically varied realms of nature brought to you by God the Father, who created it all.

Rudy the bulldog is just amazing.  I may have posted this before, but it is certainly worth watching.  He is incredible.  You don’t expect this from a bulldog

Great Catch By British TV News Reporter

This is old, but a great catch.  This young woman knows her horsemanship.

This is a first–pray that it continues to be successful.  Huntington’s is a scourge.

Today’s wrap-up

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

This morning I left the house early as I had a few errands to run.  It was very cold, so I had my winter coat and my wool watch cap on.  While I was out, in a very short time it really warmed up.  I of course, looked like a nut-case with the heavy clothes on.  Like one of those poor homeless people that you see occasionally.  By the time I got home I was sweltering.

That being said, I did accomplish what I set out to do.

Mostly.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Had a busy afternoon.

Got really busy this afternoon, hence the drop off of posts.

Tomorrow I have to run a couple of errands and vote.

Our town doesn’t even have a republican running for city council. That part of the ballot just says “no petition filed”.  I guess people just gave up.

Will have more to say tomorrow.

By the way, I got a call from my friend in Florida.  Her neighbor, who was shot the other day is recovering nicely, but his arm is still paralyzed.  Hopefully that will straighten out.  He was a totally innocent bystander.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

A Fallen Church… And a Prayer for America REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From October 11, 2012

Yesterday I drove past the church in which I was raised. I haven’t been inside the building since I heard the new pastor say, “Adultery is no big deal.”

Yesterday they had a new sign up on the front lawn, next to the old sign advertising “a welcoming and affirming congregation.” The new one reads:

“Stop persecuting them by deporting them. Let them stay.” “Them” being illegal aliens, people who break our country’s laws.

What was this sign doing in front of a church? Well, they don’t care much about God’s laws; why should they respect man’s laws?

A Prayer

This is a prayer which I pray every day now, for my country.

“Father, we as a nation are so far gone in sin and folly, so blind, so deaf, so lawless, that we cannot possibly save ourselves. Stretch forth your mighty arm, and the hand that created the heavens and the earth, and by your irresistible strength turn us off the disastrous course we have been following: turn us back to you, and make your face to shine: and then we shall be saved. Amen.”
