  1. Dominion’s Witness List For The Fox News Trial [continues to evolve] [Click] [This is a] “*potential* witness list because not all of these people may ultimately testify if the case goes to trial AND the case may yet settle. The clock is ticking … 11 days and counting.”

    1. I think Rikers Island would be able to effectively enforce a gag order.

  4. More about Lake Tulare [Click] I was reading yesterday that there is no way the dams and reservoirs on the rivers feeding the lake can completely control the snowmelt. Sooner or later, the outflow from the dams will have to equal the inflow. As for the San Joaquin River (which runs below our house), there are reports from downstream counties of water welling up outside the levees here and there, although not disastrously so far. The levees are not comparable to those on the Mississippi, although those on the Sacramento River (which drains the northern part of the Central Valley) certainly are (think 70 feet tall). Beautiful day here today.

  6. Whoo hoo!
    My a1c is 5.6~!!
    I am no longer in the pre-diabetic range. Hard work and determination *do* pay off.

    This is the first time I recall ever having a number below the pre-diabetic range...!

    Cholesterol numbers were better this year, too, so I am spared going on statins.

    Also! My doc ordered for me a special iron test that showed I am NOT plagued with the Celtic curse of Haemochromotosis.

    1. Hmmmm..... if his whereabouts are secret, it should be possible for "guards" to secretly liquidate him. But that would probably require a conspiracy, which by its very nature is difficult to keep secret.
