For over 60 years, NORAD and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa’s flight. Follow Santa as he makes his magical journey!
And all of this because of a misprint in the local paper. Thank you Colonel Shoup!

The NYT has solved the mass shootings problem. One of their star reporters has spent MONTHS of his life looking for patterns and – he FOUND IT!!
I’ve been working on this NYT project for months: Many of the deadliest mass shootings in the US were carried out by killers who used credit cards to buy high-powered weapons+ammunition that they couldn’t otherwise afford. No one was watching
NO
ONE
WAS
WATCHING

maybe they’ll stay so grief-stricken they won’t spawn
When the U.N. released its latest climate report in October, it warned that without “unprecedented” action, catastrophic conditions could arrive by 2040.
For Amy Jordan, 40, of Salt Lake City, a mother of three teenage children, the report caused a “crisis.”
“The emotional reaction of my kids was severe,” she told NBC News. “There was a lot of crying. They told me, ‘We know what’s coming, and it’s going to be really rough.’
She struggled too, because there wasn’t much she could do for them. “I want to have hope, but the reports are showing that this isn’t going to stop, so all we can do is cope,” she said.
The increasing visibility of climate change, combined with bleak scientific reports and rising carbon dioxide emissions, is taking a toll on mental health, especially among young people, who are increasingly losing hope for their future. Experts call it “climate grief,” depression, anxiety and mourning over climate change

Will someone please explain the stock market to me? I understand the Mnuchin call didn’t help (and I don’t understand why he thought he had to do that either). I just don’t see the reason(s) for the consistent drop.

Remember when banks like Bank of America pulled their credit cards from stores that sold guns or the wrong kinds of guns?
Yeah, now their asses are about to get boycotted for being used to buy guns, ammo, and anything else the SJW/Progs decide they don’t like.
They opened that Pandora’s box. Should be fun.

And Bonk… You are smart, you are clever, and please do not reveal what the Possum is having for Christmas dinner before Possum does.
Yep It is a Cornish hen thing, it is 14 ounces. The dinner guests are my two cats, and I already have my sister and an ex long time partner on the hook.
Facebook is great for LOLs

A properly done game hen is a culinary delight.

Christmas dinner is going to be fun. Cats will NOT eat human food.
Going to have to seriously fake the video.
@ Possum:
Mum’s the word. I won’t talk about what you eat as long as you stay away from my daughters.
Meanwhile, Bunkessa told me she signed up her uncle for Dip Of The Month Club for a Christmas present.
I guess that means that on the first of every month some new goober is going to show up at his door. “Hiya! Here I am! Where’s your refrigerator? Can I use your phone? I need to borrow your car for a few days. Can we watch ‘The Brady Bunch?’ etc.
@ Bunk X:
Already have that arrangement in Texas.
🙂
Guess I better bite the bullet and start my Christmas shopping. What should I get the Missus?
Oh if anyone here on Blogmog, Facebook or Dod has not realized this yet. Internet is for fun.
Real life is not always fun, but sometime it is. If you see this you know who you are buddy.
And the chicken is done!
just plated some marvelous Kiwi lamb done on the grill.
Thanks Aussie!
holy smokes, is that great stuff.

Gift card….. Well I has a story.
I have a very close friend who is going away to college in January.
Initial instinct was to get my friend gift cards for grocery stores and gas stations etc. Cards to keep my friend alive.
Then I discovered my friend had a “friend” and the focus shifted. Got my friend gift cards to resturaunts, fast food places etc.
Trying to ensure my friend got to have a meal and a face to face at least once a week with her “friend”
Giving gift cards are OK if there is a plan…. LOL In March I know my friend is going to be broke and hungry and yelling at me on the phone saying “I CAN’T EAT A AMC MOVIE TICKET!!!!!”
I exaggerate… Walmart gift cards are an easy option.
Specifically targeted gift cards show you care.

Heh. I forgot about that. He got his wife a snow shovel with an extended handle because she had a bad back. Very thoughtful and practical gift.
We don’t get snow, don’t have leaves to rake. Maybe I’ll splurge and get her a mulcher instead.
I want one of these:

an air compressor is always nice.
@ coldwarrior:
Now I’m torn between a power mulcher, an air compressor and a kerosene generator for when the power goes out and she can’t use the hedge trimmer.
I just need a hug.
Bunk X wrote:
it a rough decision, i’d go with the generator, then the compressor for mothers day, then the mulcher for a later gift.

Walmart has them.
I am really fortunate I am all alone.

they are readying for bed.
@ coldwarrior:
Clever idea. First the generator, follow up with accessories. Power washer for Valentine’s Day.
Guests just showed up, so I’m off to the garden store.
Some days I am really fired up. Aggressive, going for it, inspired and enjoying life.
Other days are fuck this, I just want to die.
@ Possum:
No you don’t.
Nil Stooge is gone.
Iron Fist is gone.
Macker is gone.
Others are gone.
You just need half a beer.
