  2. We had Northern Lights tonight too, so we dashed to the Bay for the best viewing, but it faded before we got there. Next time!
    Eclipse tomorrow evening...peaking at 10:35pm.

    2. It seems that the partial eclipse will be insignificant out here.

    1. I have recently realized at least part of the reason behind the decay of BBC News. They are paying stupendous wages to management and would-be "star" presenters who may be featured on as little as one program once a week. Small wonder more UK households are refusing to pay the BBC TV license fee.

  4. This is how far Ohio has devolved since Republicans gerrymandered their way into Rule. "An Ohio sheriff is being accused of bullying his constituents after a social media post suggesting people send him the addresses of citizens with Kamala Harris yard signs.

    Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski apparently made a Facebook post on Friday, pondering how things might be different should Harris be elected in November.

    Zuchowski, who is running for reelection, suggested that people “write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!” so that “when the Illegal human ‘Locust’ (which she supports!) Need places to live...We’ll already have the addresses of the their New families...who supported their arrival!”-Susan

    1. Today I saw part of a contentious House hearing debate between a Democratic and a Republican about Social Security. Neither of them knows how it works; evidently they think they pay into their own personal accounts and withdraw from them after retirement--- like a bank account.

    2. Ouch! That's worse than GW Bush claiming it is just supported by "paper" -- meaning US Treasury bonds.
