This kind of wind cleans things up. So maybe it's a good thing.

Whatever the prevailing winds are here...and it's windy, they blow all the shit off my property...leaves, dead vegetation, etc.  I don't know where it goes; I don't feel it's my place to ask.

I was. There's either some kind of mix-up....or maybe he is one of those foreign agitators stirring up trouble.

He is not the only one, just the latest one.

Wind and rain today. Probably part of whatever happened down south but after it lost its steam. There was one tornado here that I was around for, although I missed it by a mile or so. It just knocked down a bunch of trees damaged roofs and totaled one old building. But the tornados here only last for a minute or two. It's not like the south. Not much really bad natural disasters happen...no volcanoes, no earthquakes, no cataclysmic flooding or wildfires, no hurricanes. Just bad winters but that's small potatoes compared to what happened in Florida, Carolina, California... Nothing Biblical in Michigan.

Unless like a meteor is heading for us. Elon's the man for that job. He could figure a way to deflect it.

Donald J. Trump              2:29 PM 3/15/2025



"Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.

Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk.

The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective. The Houthis have choked off shipping in one of the most important Waterways of the World, grinding vast swaths of Global Commerce to a halt, and attacking the core principle of Freedom of Navigation upon which International Trade and Commerce depends.

Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists’ bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom. No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World.

To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!

To Iran: Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY! Do NOT threaten the American People, their President, who has received one of the largest mandates in Presidential History, or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!"

Quit drinking milk years ago when I found out about the horrifying ingredients they add to it.
Yeah, I don’t give a fck. Japan os irradiating us for years, so it doesn’t matter. I also was irradiated by Chernobyl. That’s why when I go through the airport scanner, I light it up like anChristmas tree. They drop the gates and lock the section every time. I get the pat down and the gun powder scanner. Why would I worry about milk.

I was only aware of pi day because it fell on the same day as the Lunar Eclipse. Then when I went into town yesterday  the pie store was having a "Pie Day" sale.
The Karens at work had a pi day pie cook off.

"...Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained...

...Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.

“He hardly got anything to drink. And then he wasn’t feeling very well and he collapsed,” said Senior.

He was transported by ambulance to Mass General Hospital. He didn’t know it at the time, but he also had influenza.

On Tuesday, Schmidt was transported to the regional headquarters for ICE in Burlington, Massachusetts, and then transferred to the Wyatt facility. The family, including his partner, who is a cardiologist in Nashua, have acquired attorneys and been working with the German consulate in hopes to have him released on bail.

Schmidt and his mother moved to the U.S. in 2007, and received green cards in 2008. He moved from California to New Hampshire in 2022.

Senior described her son as a hardworking electrical engineer with a partner and 8-year-old daughter who are both U.S. citizens..."



There has to be more to that story.

Nobody bothered me so far. They had to be mixed up in something.

I don't eat pie. The thought of it is nauseating.
