Do you people believe all of us human beings from first to the last will gather and face creator for our deeds of our entire lives on earth? :

There's a phenomenon that I've seen happening since I've been on this site and I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to give their thoughts about it. I've seen many women on here that put their age range up high, like between 80-99. However, when I send them an email (and I'm only 64) they never reply. Are these women not seeing this option or what? I know I'm not the greatest catch in the world, but I'm not at the other end of that either. Come on ladies, if you're not into men my age at least put that on your profile like the other ladies do. Or I've had them initiate contact and when I reply I never hear from them again. What's with that?

After a very long week, it's finally time to relax and catch up on things.

I started by watching It Chapter Two, which was very good! Not scary at all, but it wasn't supposed to be a
scary horror movie.

I have also decided something - due to some people not being able to control themselves, I will not mention R again - at all.

So, now that's out of the way, it's time to figure out what to do this weekend. I am going to my brothers birthday tomorrow, so that's something to look forward to. The rest of my weekend, will be spent on video games and sleep. I need to catch up on both, if I am honest.

A short blog today, but I don't really have much to talk about these days.

Many years ago, they used to spray the pesticide DDT in an attempt to control the mosquito population.
They had no idea at the time, that DDT would have such a devastating affect upon the environment, especially the health of eaglets.

By the time 1982 arrives, there was only one known eagle nest in all of the state of New Jersey (NJ).
That nest only gave rise to 1 eaglet that survived long enough to fledge (leave the nest in flight).
With the banning of the use of DDT along with a Clean Water Act, the eagles have gotten much healthier.
in 1985 there was still only 1 nest, but 2 eaglets fledged.
In 1990 there were 4 nests and 5 eaglets fledged.
In 1995 there were 11 nests and 19 eaglets fledged
In 2000 there were 23 nests and 30 eaglets fledged
In 2005 there were 48 nests and 64 eaglets fledged
In 2010 there were 82 nests and 69 eaglets fledged
In 2015 there were 150 nests and 199 eaglets fledged
and this year 2019 there were 189 nests and 248 eaglets fledged,

That's a terrific recovery.

Mosquitos are now controlled with more biological techniques.
For instance certain small fish specialize in eating mosquito larvae,
Those fish are inoculated into streams and swamps,

We need to ensure that we do not damage the ecosystem with man-made harmful chemicals,
especially those who have residual affects.
We are a part of that ecosystem. Our food comes from it.

Although I do personally have a lot of bald eagle photos, I got lazy and posted the one above from the internet. I wonder how many viewers know how to tell the difference between male & female bald eagles.

For many years, I've been using Firefox for my internet browser and update usually once every 3-4 months. In the past few months, it's been nagging for weekly updates. Annoying doesn't say enough and now, last weeks update has been snagging when I open a new page. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries to get whatever link or bookmark to open.
Hopefully, they will realize that the last update wasn't quite right... and fix it on the next update.

I spoke to someone in the Samsung support about the last update they pushed through my cellphone. He agrees with me that they 'fixed things that weren't broken' and prefers the previous release. Unfortunately there is no easy way to downgrade.

Updates... good or bad, they're part of life now.

...warnings not to write if of a particular (usually Right leaning ) political bent, are interesting for psychological study. As with a very few (controlling) ladies, who bemoan using CS for anything political, and whose blogs drip with a stiff liberal mindset. And, the rare sad cases with tree top TD-HDS, who gleefully post endless yellow sheet lifted from the Left biased Media, well, many characterological/behavioral/thinking similarities exist here. But I have to walk Bravo. Will finish this rant later. Tata, youins....well, back after the number one and number two walk. Let's see, where was I? Oh yes, similarities between controlling females, and victims of that most crippling Syndrome. Damn,....plum forgot what I was going to say. Tough getting old. Later, alligators.

Esiste una via scientifica e dimostrata che porta alla REALTA' VERA e non quella "olografica virtuale" in cui siamo cognitivamente immersi e nella quale siamo manipolati costantemente.
[There is a scientific and proven way that leads to the REAL REALITY and not the "virtual holographic" one in which we are cognitively immersed and in which we are constantly manipulated.]

Congratulations to the Washington Nationals & their fans.

At one point in the 2019 season, the Nationals' records was 19 wins & 31 losses.
There was much talk about the manager being fired then.
Yet, tonight the Nationals won the World Series 7th & deciding final game with the score of 6 to 2,
winning the championship.

It's the first time the Expos/Nationals franchise has EVER won the World Series.
It was also the first time the visiting teams won all 7 games, something that never happened in
MLB, nor NBA.

The Nationals Juan Soto was the youngest player to hit 3 home runs in a World Series
and the only player to hit one at age 20 and one at age 21 in the same World Series
(He had a birthday during the series).

Except for the terrible umpiring regarding the inconsistent strike zone, it was a terrific series complete with some excellent defensive plays.
