According to NASA, the Lyrids are one of the oldest meteor showers. They typically peak during late April. Best seen in the Northern Hemisphere after the moon sets and before dawn.
The shower was most active Sunday night through Monday morning and I was out a 2am checking, but I'm in the city and the streetlights made it impossible to view the night sky.

April's full moon, known as the "pink moon," will crest at its full phase Tuesday at 4:49 p.m. Pacific.

I was able to zoom in on the moon from the parking lot. Not a clear shot, but something I couldn't photograph at all with my previous phone/camera.




Lyrid meteor showers...

A Russian peasant has 4 evils to strangle against: winter, spring, summer, autumn.

The last winter 16 regions experienced weeks and months without central heating and water, both warm and cold. In terms of Russia, it's many thousands. We can call it "winter".

The most of the heating infrastructure was built in the Soviet times and now just failing because of old age. What was built under later times.... well, as I said somewhere else, 60-85% from every project got stolen...You can call it “corruption”.

Now, there's corruption before. Petr the first decreed: "Whoever would steal a rope, will be hung on that rope..." and it didn't work. Not that they stopped stealing. And not that they stopped hang for stealing. It just didn’t work.

But under putler's times it – corruption - assumed gargantuasque proportions:

This time of year, the snow is melting and south Ural is sitting under water. I checked Guardian and found nothing on the subject. Hence, the inquiring minds are to check "Russian links".

There were dams. They didn't hold. The authorities said: "A rodent gnaw throw it" about one dam (built 10 years ago). And "The citizens took the stuff from" about the other. They evacuated people in the middle of the morning: one second you are there in a nightgown and slippers... the other second - you are in a boat and it is. The rescuers are not allowed to take pets in the boats.

*I will not start about roads and aqueducts built by Romans 2 tou… before our time…*

There are videos, when a rescuers boat came to the area days after and a man tears off tales of a roof with his bare hands – are they’nt supposed to have tools? - in order to free a cat captured under. There was about 3 cm left for the cat to breath.

Yes, corruption kills. Not only animals. Do you know how many old, handicapped, bed-ridden people got under along with the bound / caged animals? Neither do I.

(Do we have to bother at all about handicapped old people and bound animals?)

But our site is a site of good news: so, some of animals were rescued.

And to continue the happy news: while some areas in Russia are getting under water, the other areas are starting to experience grass- and forest fires. Because as always.


Less happy news are: the same category of men working in heating-maintenance, rescue-teams, building et cetera. Now, the wages in those positions are low, you can’t support your family on.

They promise, and at some occasions, they pay more money, that a usual blue-color worker will earn in his life. And they don’t tell about “meat attacks”. They say: you’ll be guarding a military supply store long in the country.

Well… an early spring…

Thinking of a new past time

A great way for gay guys with small c*ck's to big themselves up by wearing alligator boots and oversize cowboy hats...

I'm seeing some 'lights are on, but no one is home' dating site Dé·jà vu. I believe this place is running on autopilot right now. It looks familiar to the scenario of other (now defunct) sites where absent management became apparent.
Hopefully, I'm wrong.
My indicator is the amount of fraudulent profiles stacking up for the last 3 months. In two days I counted more than 20 new profiles with different photos of the same woman and her opening line is "I am a treasure girl" That is about half of the new membership so far this week.
While most of the bogus profiles send out messages and never return. Reporting them used to get their profiles deleted. The bad part (for the company) is it affected the numbers of new membership. Now, it appears more have joined the site, because the bogus ones are still here. Something that looks good if the place is up for sale. Lots of new profiles (real or fake) means more clicks and revenue from the advertisers.

I'm only basing my opinion on profiles of the women. That's all I check. My guess it could be the same for men's profiles. So as a whole, when someone says "This place is crawling with scammers" that statement has become true.

I've had too many samples of old age recently and it is really grating my carrot. A molar broke - just broke! - and then I was deaf for a while, sheesh that's the pits, back to normal now. Then my eyes started blurring and I had to get specs and now my leg starts hurting when I walk my dog, will whoever is ill-wishng me just cut it the hell out, okay?



Someone, I think Bette Davis, said old age isn't for sissies. Another said after 60 it's just patch patch patch. I've never felt old before but yup as fast as one symptom gets patched up starts another. Off to the clinic, I'll be getting frequent flyer discount at this rate.

I'm a sissy. Take me now.

But each day, when she walks to the sea, She looks straight ahead, not at he...
Lyrics from the song The Girl From Ipanema, a 1960's Brazilian Bossa Nova international hit.

It's in the song list of music I'm learning, for an upcoming gig. Rehearsals at a rate of 2 per week puts me in a pinch, as it's not enough time to comfortably learn all the arrangements and play more than one set as a trio. My cousin will duo with the guitarist and do the other 2 sets without me. No choice. it's agreed. The venue is a open bar at a restaurant and the management only wanted a duo to play low-volume anyway. I'll be introduced as a guest musician and play a few songs. We are bumping the regular entertainment... a woman who sings to pre-recorded music.

At this point, I'm expecting to carry on my day job working 2 large projects and 1 small one already on the books. I asked for a short break from sales for a few months. That didn't go as planned, three new sales leads are on my calendar.

I'll make it happen... I always do.




Brazilian jazz singer, Astrud Gilberto, 1940 to 2023 died at the age of 83.

Have you noticed that changing someones opinion in CS doesn't happen? Especially in politics. What you believe is what you believe and NOTHING factual posted here will make you change your mind.

I'll give some examples:
The 2020 election. It's been disputed (by the same small percentage) but no evidence came up to change it.

The Biden family is the most corrupt group in America. Right? This usually comes up when the talk is about Trump court cases. Yet, they haven't found any dirt on Biden needed to get a vote to start the impeachment process. That doesn't stop those who repeat him being the worst president in the US and the most corrupt.

Fake news... usually the ones who parrot that phrase listen to the news service of Fox who was sued by Dominion Voting Systems (and lost) in a settlement of $787 million.

The earth is flat. Yeah, it's all done by holograms.

Believing the posts on TRUTH social from it's creator, who was banned from Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for making UNTRUE statements.

Denial of air pollution and climate change because in winter you had two feet of snow in your city. Let's discuss this in direct sunlight. Your place or mine?

America needs to start using sludge / tar oil from The Keystone XL Pipeline. Shall we because it's raising our gasoline prices. I guess, that hasn't been disputed enough on CS.

If contemplating a holiday, is Thailand a good place to visit, and are there opportunities to mix with the locals. Are the bars friendly especially at night time and are the ladies willing to help you see the sights, especially if you are male?

April 20th is a 'sorta' celebration day for many who smoke weed. Taking a toke at 4:20 on 4/20 is a ritual that got started long ago... I think it was a meeting time after school for some teenage kids that caught on. Every day at 4:20 ritual.

I worked for a guy who in the interview asked if I was 420 friendly. I responded with "Huh?"
He said "Do you burn?" (by then I was catching on to his questioning) "burn what?" was my reply.

God is love.With keeping love you defeat devil.
With Good you overcome evil.
With peace you overcome war.
There where is no peace there is devil.
Therefore keep love and peace and righteousness and you shall progress in all good things.
Doing good things you get blessed, doing bad things you get condemned.
Therefore love to do good things and away from bad things.
Repent of your sins and improve,this lead you to be saved.
Love God with all heart...,and love your neighbours as your self. (love all people).
God bless.
