I'm surprised no one picked up on this, but the suit that Trump wore in Georgia when he was arrested, booked and posed for the famous mugshot has been cut into pieces and being sold. This is similar to the coffee mugs and T-shirts promotion sold bearing his photo.
Last week, it was reported that Trump is offering 'pieces of Trump' in the way of cuttings of his blue suit, but you have to buy 47 $99 NFT's

That amounts to $4,653 and includes dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Trump himself.
It's an online purchase and the fine print states there's no guarantee you will get either.

Appropriate, isn't it?

The way my luck is going at the moment I could scream.
So yes the insurance has started paying for all the storm damage, hopefully I'm picking up my car tomorrow after being sandwiched In a queue on a main road, only taken a month to repair. One of my cats has started to recover only 2 weeks hopefully he'll carry on. Yesterday received a letter from the tax office saying I've to pay my tax in two countries, told them this morning in their dreams and for the 5th time they've copied the papers saying I've already paid it. Then I've found out I've won a bottle of champagne I HATE champagne. Give me a break.

After my third attempt I finally put up my tree ...
and as always, have the inside of my home lovely as cosy.
No window displays this year, oh well I'm not claiming to be perfect

Anyways time to take a bow, when I've earned it

To christmas me

Who among the indigenous native-born citizens can now look back and state that Enoch Powell was a racist when he was actually warning us that when Britain one day awoke and realised we were 16 years away from being a minority Christian ?? White Nation.

Connecting Singles members are really apathetic when it comes to science and astronomy. I've blogged about eclipses, comets and all sorts of celestial phenomena and those blogs get little to no comments when compared to political blogs... a subject that although readers complain so much about, they comment on.

For a while, I've scanned news about the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that was launched in December 2021. JWST is 3 times the size of the Hubble telescope and equipped with sensors to detect the full light spectrum near ultraviolet to infrared.

The JWST has been sending images back to earth that are nothing less than spectacular, images not only of visible light to humans, but infrared light that passes through dust clouds that normally block visible light.

Coming up on the anniversary of the launch, and just a few days ago, I saw an article about new JWST images of the icy planet Uranus and some of it's 27 moons. These images are far greater than seen by Hubble.

Im late for my nap

"The Colorado supreme court on Tuesday declared Donald Trump ineligible to hold office again under the US constitution’s insurrection clause."



Of course Trump will appeal to the Supreme Court, but as he has threatened their continued existence, I'd be very surprised if they favoured Judge Wallace's bizarre ruling over his disquaification.

Things are booming. Uh huh. That is why people are getting evicted and homeless and are maxing cards and pay laters for Christmas shopping when they still haven't paid off last years.
I had a dentist appt so had to tough it out and leave farm to head into town. Well, if I HAVE to go to town, might as well catch up shopping.
Stopped at Goodwill. First time in over two years. Why did I bother? Prices on clothes are half of new prices in box stores. They are now peddling lots of new items. Bad enough to ask double the price the dollar store asked, but I should shop like a regular store too. Not!
Went to Dollar Tree. Gee, guess they finally got the Christmas inventory. Couldn't find what I wanted so total was small. Some things are a good deal. Others? Wow... 1.25 for glittered styrofoam or paper.
Went to Wally world. Inflation is down? Someone should tell them. Friend likes Miracle Whip. Idea for gifting. Oh now I see why he won't spend the cash. $5.38 for oil and flavoring. And same price for mayo with eggs and cream. Pass! I checked clearance prices on clothes. Yep..that is not going home either. And since when do they charge 25-50 for a garment?
I spent 158 and part was for gifting. Or pantry stocks. I have no idea how a family can afford to eat. Of course fast food workers in Cali got a raise to $20 an hour.

I hit a few appointments today where one was at a construction site and another the service entrance to a large condominium. It's become normal to have NOW HIRING painted on the work trucks.
Why the constant advertising for tradesmen ??
I suppose when times are good, businesses are expanding and always have the word out for more help.
I cannot say, times are good right now, so my realistic thought is the working conditions with those companies is so bad that they have a constant turnover in help, thus requiring hiring all the time!

That reminds me of a company I worked for 35 years ago where the owner didn't have to fire many people... they usually quit after a month or two.

I think at one point, he had employed every cabinet maker in the county.

The Rolling Stones are going to go on yet another tour in the United States.....Not that many people (That are still alive) are even thinking of going to see them any more But Though I am not going to go? Maybe some of you might want to go for the chance of a lifetime And what might that chance of a lifetime be you might be thinking?
Having the chance to watch either Mick Jagger or Kieth Richards drop dead right there in front of you!!!
Just think now You could go back to your home town and be able to tell everyone you come across that you with your own eyes saw Mick or Kieth drop dead on the stage right there in front of you!!!!
