There seems to be a paucity of real news today. Ukraine continues push into Russia, Russian resistance is minimal, Trump campaign continues to disintegrate, Harris campaign presses ahead. -------Alan
Interesting coincidence (or omen?) mentioned in President Zelinsky's address yesterday: early in Putin's first term in office, the submarine Kursk sank with all hands; and now Ukraine invades Kursk . . . perhaps marking the end of his reign? ------Alan
Silicon Curtain video: Konstantin Samoilov - Putin Broke Russia & Ukraine's Kursk Offensive May End his Regime [Click] I had heard about General Gerasimov being replaced by the head of the FSB [KGB], Bortikov. Within a day Putin replaced Bortikov with Putin’s [?] former bodyguard! This is a must-watch video; it should be all over the Western media, but it is not. The Russian Federation is disintegrating; Putin has panicked. ——Alan

Loch Nest endured a three hour massive thunderstorm tonight. We watched it on the webcam at the marina. I've never seen so much lightning and some hail was mixed in. Later, our wifi and cable went out. The funny thing is that the storm missed us entirely and the outage happened long after it had passed through the area. We had power, but apparently our provider did not. Amazingly, it came back on about an hour and a half later, and right when they said it would!
Clarification: We were at home, watching the storm on the marina's webcam. If you see this in the next 12 hours, you can slide back and look...starting around 7:16pm. It was a humdinger! I recommend finding the 8:25pm mark to see what I mean. Impressive! I'll post the link in a second.

Yeah, that's bad. So far the birds in Vermont this season have been healthy and looking great. Maybe we can help restock the various species.

The Guardian: Deflection and downplaying: Putin’s response to Kursk invasion off to a shaky start [Click] Covers some of the same things, but neglects Bortnikov’s replacement.

I really hope that Putin and also Netanyahu will soon be only history and not of the future.

But who would want to look at it? Maybe just a silhouette?

The time you want is 8:23:05pm...on 8/14, if that's still showing.

I stand corrected. Between last week when I set this thread to post and now, the Cat Ladies group is now over 81,000 strong!
ReplyDeleteCan we set out some sort of symbol (a flag maybe?) so they will recognize us as friendlies?
