Well, too broke for cigars this week so far. Drug out my pipes and my meerschaum is missing, dang it. Looks like I’ll be trying out the heavily used vintage briar I picked up at an estate sale a couple years ago. Cleaned it up really nice, slapped a different stem on it, and think I’ll give it a shot, should be beautifully seasoned.

posting from the hotel after the archery tournament
after they finished she thought her score was a 278 which was a new personal best but she felt like there was a mistake, she thought that was too high.
she was right, there was a mistake
she shot 282
she now has a national ranking
her overall girls (elementary, middle and high school)rank is 350 out of 6689
her rank among high school girls is 221 out of 2393
and her rank among 9th grade girls is 64th out of 749
and to think she was shooting 220 at the start of the year
doriangrey wrote:
No, what’s odd to me is that I now think about something that happened 25 or 30 years ago and I participated in it. I am going on 36 years this year with the same company (sort of, our division was bought about 20 years ago, so the name changed, but that’s about it). When I think about these things, I realize that someone thinking the same thoughts when I got out of school would have been referencing time in the early 50’s. Actually, someone with the level of experience I have now would have started working shortly after WWII ended.
I’m not sure if these thoughts are disturbing or merely observations.

And she’s been shooting how long?
Challenge for tomorrow- a guy who does some work for us sometimes is a pastor. When we had to replace our fridge a few months ago, Mrs. RW said she’d go to his church if he helped us move the old one out & the new one in. He took her up on it. So we’re going to his church tomorrow.
Prayers that God will convict her that she needs Him. She’s not a believer at all- she’s a ‘Once you die, that’s all folks’.
Knowing Will, I have a feeling he’s going to aim a sermon straight at her. I don’t know anything about his church or his preaching style. I think it’s going to be a bit more Charismatic than I’m used to, but I know they’ve done mission trips & work with helping the homeless downtown. It could be interesting…

hey y’all
well the girl and I are home safe
this was a fun weekend
@ right_wing2:
Okay this is funny. We actually did make it to church. It’s in the guy’s home, just a handful of people there. Pastor Will’s youngest, 3-4 probably, is carrying around this stuffed black & white dog. Before the service started she gave it to Mrs. RW.
Interesting service. It was a lot like I expected- very charismatic and very different from what I’m used to. Just a guess, but I’d bet most of the people there (including Will) have struggled with some kind of addiction or another.
Good service, on part of the Sermon on the Mount, Matt 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.’ At the end of the service, Will asked her if she believed, and she said ‘Kind of’, he asked if she’d pray with him to accept Christ and she did! Now, the sincerity is between her & God, but at least she prayed with him. I hope she meant every word of it.
@ right_wing2:
I hope she did too.
I enjoy going to different places of worship.
I’m a Catholic married to a Methodist, and I generally prefer my services to be more staid and contemplative, but I find it very interesting and uplifting.
I’ve said this before, but my wife is the daughter of Salvation Army officers (retired now) and currently works for them as a bookkeeper. They have their own places of worship. They’re largely in, er, economically challenged areas.
But because it’s the Salvation Army, I’ve seen some incredible people in challenging circumstances come to worship Jesus Christ as best they can, by whatever means necessary.
I’ve also struggled with addiction, and maintain that it was faith that pulled me through. Not 12-step meetings (although they work for many people).
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
After my ex & I broke up, I had some problems with alcohol. Never to the point I couldn’t go to work, but bad enough. I’d have a couple beers every night, and on Friday (if I didn’t work Sat) and every Saturday night I’d get drunk on some of the nastiest mixes you could imagine.
Will’s church has done some overseas missions, they work with the homeless downtown, and they’ve got a prison ministry too. Great place for people who are broken & recognize it.
I’ll see if she’d be willing to go back here in a month or so. She’s stubborn- she’ll push back and get very crabby if you push things.
This little girl came back in as we were singing at the beginning of service, crying her eyes out. And she went straight to Mrs RW. Dad picked her up, but it’s still funny since we’d met her not 15 minutes before. Kids & critters can sense things.

In Islam, it is perfectly acceptable, encouraged even, for Muslims to lie to infidels. What the Saudi’s say in public to us probably is not what they are saying in private to the Fakenstianians. That’s just how Muslims are.
If you cannot accept or understand that Muslims lie to infidels as a normal and accepted part of Islam, you will never understand the conflict between Islam and the entire rest of the world.
The roots of Islam literally are murder, theft and deceit. Nothing has changed about Islam since Mohammad murdered the caravan owner of the caravan his father was a dung collector in, blackmailed the owners wife into marrying him and then ran it into the ground because Mohammad was an illiterate ruthless cowardly murderer. Yes, cowardly, he poisoned the caravan owner.
Once he had run the caravan into the ground because he had no comprehension of how to run a business, he transformed what remained of one of the most successful caravans in the entire Silk road trading world into the mythical “Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves” a group of murdering cutthroat bandits.
It was only when the residents of Medina used dogs to track Mohammad down that he came up with his infamous “Prophet” act. Like the Christian “Satan” Mohammad was a murderer and a thief (and a pedophile) from the very beginning.

Turkey was caught violating the Iranian sanctions prior to Caliph Obama’s lifting them. These “Assertions” literally amount to nothing more than political propaganda to protect Iran and Turkey from the ongoing prosecution of several high level Turkish Banker’s involved in the Turkish Governments unofficial officially sanctions systemic violations of those sanctions.
In short, Turkey got busted massively violating the sanctions, the Obama deal with Iran temporarily made that fact moot, but now it is causing a huge international stink.

I’m familiar w/Taqqiya
But without being starry-eyed about it, I think Bin Salman is serious. They’ve had it with the Iranians and they’re betting on the strong horse – the U.S.
In general, going over all the Iranian and Saudi people I’ve known over the years, I tend to like the Iranians better as individuals (the Saudis can be unbearable snobs and you know the story of the one family whose kids went after my Molly). But politically, at this point in time, a triumvirate of allies consisting of the U.S., Israel and Saudi could be a pretty impressive game changer.

The other day I saw something about a Turkish ship that, according to the manifest, was carrying wheat. It was about to be inspected by authorities at a Houthi port in Yemen when all of a sudden there was an explosion down below. The captain wouldn’t allow an inspection so I think they just impounded everything. I didn’t see any follow up reports but the thought of whoever invested in that shipment and all the parties waiting for the goods just having a really bad day was very amusing.

I’m listening to Jared Kushner right now. I have to tell you, he is reminding me a lot of JFK and Senator Obama. Whatever may be said about President Obama, I remember when I first heard Senator Obama speak, and I knew right then he would one day be President of the United States, whether for good or for ill, and as we now know, mostly for ill.
As I said, there is something about Kushner’s speech, his delivery isn’t particularly good, but it sounds amazingly like something JFK would have said, like something you expect to hear from a 20 something bright eyed full of optimism and hope kid.
It has all of the hope and optimism reminiscent of a Reagan speech only lacking in the cynicism of maturity. Reagan fervently desired, demanded that America be that Bright Shining City on the Hill, but his optimism was tempered with the knowledge that the worlds bad actors were not going to quit being bad actors just because America insisted on being a beacon of hope and freedom.

But John Sullivan said FBI agents who were aware of the request broke the story to him so it was no secret there.

Don’t know if anyone watched Hannity when he was talking about that Russian guy. This American, Bob Levinson, who has been held in Iran for 11 yrs,is the guy the FBI wanted to rescue.
I remember reading about the Levinson case. First,he is NOT a CIA employee. They used him as a contractor. I forget why, but Levinson wanted to go back into Iran and the woman at the CIA who handled him (forgot her name) said no way. He went in anyway and I don’t remember if she finally gave in or if he just told her ‘fuck it, I’m going”. IIRC, he wasn’t there long before he got picked up.
So, 1) He is NOT CIA 2) He was NOT on an authorized mission, he went rogue.
That’s the big reason they can’t get him out. As far as the Iranians are concerned, the guy is a spy with no political leverage to his advantage. Not yet anyway. So they’re going to keep him until they can get something they want for him. Something the U.S. is willing to pay. Evidently, there were several times when that almost happened, but never did.
Second thing: If you watched the segment, the woman, Robyn Girtz (Gritz?) is the woman who was accusing the FBI of EEOC violations, McCabe specifically, among others, and she was the one Mike Flynn went to bat for, thereby pissing off all the 7th floor.
And I have no idea why the FBI was working a CIA case.
