Oops, wrong thread again.....

About forty years ago, my Scottish Witch and I went to England. You could go right from the Customs thingy at the airplane patch to the train and wind up in Waterloo Station.

Herself went into the Ladies Loo there<-- (they really called it that) and came out quickly to ask me to give her our VCR camera.

When she came out again, she showed me a video of a sooper tubby cat sitting in a litterbox. There was a sign over the cat:

"My name is Tiddles. I live in the Ladies Loo."
"I can move."

There was a cigar box with money in it. Box top said, "Dinners For Tiddles". For the length of the filming, Tiddles moved to breathe only.
 
Life is what you make it and I will adjust and make the best of this mess!! I have survived for 70 years here on the 3rd rock from the sun and am nowhere near done causing trouble.....I've got em on the run and not gonna slow down any time soon.

Only 3 shootings here last night...good to see everything is calming down.....not!!!

I've weathered serious storms and actually done well overall in my seven decades and heavy change, but this is the first time I've despaired for our nations survival. Some of us old farts don't have that much longer to survive, but my children and grandchildren do.

Looking up here too brother! No riots and only one shooting in Portland last night!

41F @ 83% RH, rain, and predicted to reach 49F.

About half way through a new Bernd Heinrich book named, "Mind of the Raven" that is pretty interesting. I've seen Ravens in southern Oregon, but locally we have only their cousins the Crow.

The Raven's are top of the non raptor food chain and are smarter and their society is way more complex than the Crow. I've already decided to order Heinrichs's original book on Ravens, "Ravens in Winter."

Besides smart to the point of not only using, but making tools, and exhibiting self awareness, they are extremely wary and communicate food sources and dangers amongst themselves. One of the sharper dinosaur minds that is still extant.
 
Morning. Watching social media regulating who and what goes on. Wondering if it will eventually effect sites like this. This country is loosing it's mind.

Dreary day, snowed most all day yesterday. Not much accumulation just enough to make it miserable today. Will be on snow removal detail this morning.

Good MMA fights on ESPN last night. Took my mind off all the B S for a while.....where can I hide today.
 
Yesterday I installed a 500 gig SSD in my desktop and then installed Linux Mint 20 with the Mate desktop on it.
I loaded Mint 20 on a usb drive and had in installed in around 20 minutes. A couple hours of adding free
software and tweaking a few things and its done and up and running.
I installed Brave browser and the hosts file. I see that the Tor browser is available from inside Brave.
The computer is now very fast and Brave works way faster than Firefox or Chromium.
I have not used Microsoft's crap in my home computers for close to 20 years.
