That's a very nice design of table; it makes a conversation piece all by itself.

Thank you, Alan. Most folks say it looks too modern and one said it should be on the "bridge" on Star Trek.
DeleteBut we love it! It's easy to walk around and we can even put up the footrests on our recliner and reclining loveseat.
Yesterday afternoon I came across mention on the Internet of "De Quervain's Syndrome" (often described as "thumb arthritis," which strikes me as arrant nonsense--- it is obviously a tendonitis) and do-it-yourself treatments, largely massage/acupressure and stretches. This morning the pain in my hands is greatly reduced and my hand tremor seems to be gone. Great stuff!

Hurrah for doing the common sense things and feeling well!
DeleteDid Hamas Make Millions Betting Against Israeli Shares? [Click] I know that “short selling” shares is a bet that they will fall in value, although just how it works is clear as mud.
ReplyDelete——Alan
You enter into a contract that calls for you, at some specified future date, to sell a specified number of shares at a specified price. When the date arrives you buy the shares at the then-current price and sell them at the previously specified price. If the shares have fallen in price, you make money. If they have risen, you lose money.

ReplyDeleteVERMONT: Propane truck went off bridge into river and exploded; evacuations within a mile of the crash
ReplyDeleteAmazingly: "no one was injured, including the truck driver."
When I read that they had to keep First Responders back from the truck for fear of explosions, I feared for the driver's life. So good to hear he's all right!
DeleteWow! Gotta read up on that>
Delete----Alan
It seems the truck caught fire, but had not exploded by the time of the latest report.
Delete----Alan
They flew a drone over and discovered a puncture in the tank, greatly reducing the chance of an explosion! =Whew!=
DeleteWil tells me there's an article somewhere about what DT says to people when he's having dinner with them and whatnot...
ReplyDeleteThings like he didn't really take the oath of office because they didn't use the right Bible; or no one gave hima list of all the laws he was supposed to follow, so he's not liable, and (my favourite) he wasn't a signatory to the Constitution, so he doesn't have to follow it.
I seriously doubt any of those arguments will prove convincing to a jury . . .
DeleteMental incompetence to stand trial ought to be a winner, but I doubt that will be claimed.

The table does echo the stained glass shape very well. Nice. (Susan)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! It's a style we love, and the two triangles are just about the same exact size.

Netanyahu corruption trial resumes, as war rages on
ReplyDeleteCNN: Israeli military says it will investigate transfer of soldiers away from Gaza border ahead of October 7 attack
ReplyDeleteThe Israeli military's investigation of October 7 failures will include an assessment on the decision to move reinforcement troops from the Gaza border to the West Bank in the days before Hamas’ attack, an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson said on Monday.
“Troops were indeed moved,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said. “And I’m saying that this will be discussed in an operational review, and answers will be fully given to the public.”
Hagari said that the military would not postpone an investigation “until the end of the war.”
The prime minister’s office has consistently said that failures will need to be investigated but that now is not the appropriate time.
Israel’s Channel 11 — the country’s public broadcaster — reported on Sunday that over 100 reinforcement combat troops were on October 5 moved from near the Gaza border to the West Bank, to coincide with the Jewish High Holy Days.
The report came after weeks of speculation in the Israeli media, and denials by the IDF.
When asked about the transfer, Hagari said that rotation decisions are made every weekend, “in accordance with the situational assessment of the General Staff, on where to deploy the reserve troops, in relation to the threats.”
“We will investigate this issue,” he said.

Yes indeed, Trump seems to be losing his already tenuous contact with reality and reason at an increasing pace. Losing criminal and civil cases (one or more of each in the near future) seems likely to push him well over the edge.

Yep, this set seemed especially unhinged, though.

I reach the same conclusion from a different perspective. Even the simplest life is chemically very complex. The probability of it arising by chance is miniscule. Even if our galaxy has hundreds of thousands of Earth-like planets, the odds say it probably only happened once.
