Or a trot.
Nice shot at bird-level.
Wild turkeys have completed invaded Omaha. Flocks of them all over.
Is that a Tom, a Jake, or a hen? Discuss.
Dang, I would have sworn that was a photo of a turkey named Slow Joe.
Good looking shot though--wild critters abound these days.
My father was an avid turkey hunter here in Tennessee, but his observation was that he would see dozens of them out season, and the day before hunting season started, they disappeared.
Remember, remember,
The last Thursday of November!
Nice picture of Schiff.
Nice picture of Schiff.
either that, or Pelosi's plastic surgeon really fucked up this time
Yancey - Exactly. I have been going afield at 4:30 and nary a bird to be seen. Last trip, however, there was a deer and fisher so not in vain.

I can personally attest to that phenomenon.

Nice bird at shot level!!
RIP Niki Lauda.
Tennessee turkeys can read calendars.

Killing turkeys causes winter
I am happy to support the shooting of wild turkey's, IF it doesnt turn them into martyrs.

OK.
You're a jerk.
So apparently Adam Shiff wants to impeach Trump so he can figure out why he did it.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could walk!
What do you do If someone grabs away your property, OR there is a breach of agreement of sale OR You are planning to buy a property and you wish to know if there is a claim or objection to the said land, Of course you approach an advocate. As per the situation demands he may sometimes ask you to Public Notice Ad in Newspaper. Now what do you do? you don’t want to spend thousands of rupees on Newspaper ads just for placing a legal notice but at the sometime you also want to fulfil the formality. How do we help you?
Neither rain, nor snow, nor turkeys

Two days ago I found out that you attract orioles with orange slices and feed them with grape jelly. Always something new.
Wow! You got the first pic of the Dem's 23rd Candidate.
@madAsHell, considering that by all rights he should have died on August 1. 1976, or in the hospital the next day, Laura had one Hell of a run.
We could talk about politics, but we always do that, and Althouse finds much of it either boring or click-bait.
We could talk about religion -- generally, in the West, religion has been a force for good. Islam? Not so much. Buddhism? Well, a little esoteric.....
We could talk sports.
We could talk science.
We could talk philosophy -- I'm still reading this "Trial of Socrates" by IF Stone (likely a Commie). In essence, Socrates used to wander around the streets of Athens, irritating people and asking questions, like, "How do you really know that?" He didn't write anything himself, which, to me, makes him suspect. Maybe, Plato is creating the image of Socrates in
a way, Plato perceived him, not as Socrates actually was.
We could talk real estate. It's very expensive in the Bay Area. If you own a home, you are de facto rich. If you don't own a home, well, you may be a lifetime renter, not a rentier.
We could talk law - but superfluity does not vitiate.
We could talk romance -- did Stormy Daniels actually have sex with Trump, or maybe he just played with her large, artificial gozangas for 5 minutes?
If there wasn't sex, Trump really needs to get that $130K back. That is quite an over-payment. Avenatti probably took half. Cohen probably got a cut too.
Yancey Ward remembers: My father was an avid turkey hunter here in Tennessee, but his observation was that he would see dozens of them out season, and the day before hunting season started, they disappeared.
Animals aren't stupid. When we had a large acreage in the mountains, deer would know when hunting season was starting and they would hang out in our yard. It was a 'sanctuary city'. I'm certainly not against hunting but we didn't hunt and the deer must have known it.
We could talk sports.
Okay. Well, okay, politics sports. Well, okay, okay, politics in sports news, really, but it's juicy. ESPN takes a knee- fans do not want us to cover politics
An own goal schadenboner!

These are the same kinds of people who don't understand why we voted for Trump. They are thick beyond measure.
When I would side glance at ESPN as if it were an eclipse I would see the lovely Sage Steele. The change comes too late for her, perhaps...

Well, seriously though; Who COULD HAVE EVER predicted that?
I mean, If half the people in the country didn't vote; and half of those that did vote, voted for Trump... wouldn't you just ASSUME That WHAT sports fans Wanted; was to have ex-jocks talk about how much they hated Trump?
That isn't what people were looking for? Who knew?
None at all:

They are and they aren't. Sure, they don't really understand why we voted for Trump, nor do they care. But the execs knew very well that we despise their politics, and the politicization of sports on ESPN. But the deplorables still have a bit or market power.
I was just on the MLB.com site and they have an article with a picture showing a Coors Field in Denver today, covered in snow. Climate change, baby. 🥶

oops-- thought you were talking about Hill's ankles.
btw-- did you cross the border legally? How's the trip?
OK, I took my walk. It dropped from 90 to 65 overnight after a short T-storm, and it was much nicer than yesterday. Today we have a brisk wind, blue skies and lower humidity. Yesterday, the Siberian was struggling on the beach, and today she was pretty happy to go a couple of miles up and back. Not the best day for picking up shark's teeth though, I only found 15.
Last thread Freeman Hunt used the expression "yelling into a hole".
I've always assumed what it meant by the context surrounding it, but I wanted a precise definition to be sure my response was relevant, and my GoogleFu failed me.
All I got was this and alot of people talking about golf (get in the hole!).
Lil help?
Also, anyone noticed that Google has been broken for a few years? There was a time I could search "campy fantasy movie with dumb x-sword" and get 30 precise hits. Now all I get is an Amazon advert for a blender and 30 completely unrelated suggestions.
CBS was roundly [and justifiably] criticized for showing a post-round interview rather than the pivotal shot Koepka had to make to save his round for the win. Who'da thunk that, when we tune into a major golf tournament, we'd rather see GOLF than INTERVIEWS!
ICTA asks: btw-- did you cross the border legally? How's the trip?
Will be crossing into Canada tomorrow. Got my vehicle serviced today and will have my firearm shipped to Tok so I can pick it up as soon as I hit Alaska. Weather has been wet and cold for the most part but the trip is fine otherwise.
The most responsive and cost effective government is local.
A one size fits all approach to public policy will never be effective in a nation of 320 million people spread over 3.7 square miles.

“So apparently Adam Shiff wants to impeach Trump so he can figure out why he did it.”
The answer there is $$$$$$$$. I saw this earlier today. Might have been here, and if it was, I apologize in advance to those whom this bores. The Dems, from Speaker Palsi are stuck right now between a rock and a hard place. Their fringe wacko moneybags, like Tom Steyer and George Soros bought the last election through a combination of massive advertising and a lot of cheating, facilitated by Soros having bought election officials by the bushel around the country. They hate Trump with a white hot passion. They are demanding Impeachment probably only because drawing, quartering, flaying, and implement are currently not quite acceptable, yet, in this country. And the biggest recipients of that largess, those bribes, are the committee chairs looking into ways to impeach Trump, led by Pencil Neck Schiff himself. My memory is that he raked in almost $7 million in campaign contributions last year. They are going after Trump with an unholy vengeance, because that is what they were paid, and paid handsomely, to do.
Those deep pockets bought Palsi her new, no doubt oversized, Speaker’s gavel. But she got it by the Dems electing a lot of Trump district freshman Dems to Congress. If they impeach before they have anything that the broad American public would see as High Crimes and Misdemeanors, the Dems can probably say goodbye to their House majority, and probably the Presidency next year.
They recently have cranked up their subpoena machine requesting mountains of documents and large numbers of interviews under their oversight authority. But they have several problems there. First and foremost, much of what they are requesting has little if anything to do with legitimate oversight. Instead, it is aimed at finding crimes purportedly committed by Trump and his family. Which is not oversight, but a fishing expedition, which is not a legitimate Congressional purpose. And then Trump has ordered that a lot of what they want is covered by Executive Privilege. Sure, some will be pried loose through litigation, but it is going to be slow going. Very slow.
The wackos who bought this House majority want action now, and that means impeachment before probable cause of wrongdoing has been obtained. It would, maybe make discovery by the House easier because the rules for impeachment investigations are broader than for oversight investigations. But with it comes the argument by Trump and the Republicans that it was a fishing expedition, but also that the Dems are cheating. Part of our Anglo/American jurisprudence model is that probable cause comes first. Moreover, they are the ones who refused to allow an orderly transition of power after Trump won, and now essentially demanding a do over, based solely, it seems, on OrangeManBad. Americans don’t like cheaters, esp when it means negating their ballots. But it doesn’t appear that Palsi has the power to prevent what she surely knows will doom her to a one term Speakership, while almost guaranteeing Trump a second term.
Wow! You got the first pic of the Dem's 23rd Candidate.
Read an interesting article that the Dems had already written 2020 off.
Biden will be the sacrificial lamb to keep down-ticket races from getting swamped, and the other 23 dwarves are only in it to increase their speaking fees as a "former Presidential candidate" and get name recognition for 2024.
But it doesn’t appear that Palsi has the power to prevent what she surely knows will doom her to a one term Speakership, while almost guaranteeing Trump a second term.

My mother is an avid genealogist. She is a very old lady now, but very sharp and she has developed some interesting contacts - such as in the Spanish Ministry of Defense. Granted, our tribe has some colorful cases, so this hobby has amused her.
A couple of weeks ago she turned up something truly odd. Now, we have thought for some time that one branch (on my mothers side) was descended from a Turk. This was my late great uncles pet theory. This, it turns out, is true, in spades.
It seems we are descendants of the prophet Mohammed, sayyids, by way of the House of Ali, by way of a family of noble Turks granted military fiefdoms (timars), by way of a Turkish general and a sometime Pasha of Smyrna, killed holding an Ottoman fortress in what is now Moldavia against Catherine the Great, in 1770.
His son was born of a Spanish lady captured by the Turks and eventually deposited in the Pashas sergalio (the theme of a thousand romance novels and that opera by Mozart). Eventually the boy and his cousin, disaffected by Islam, decamped for Marseilles, and took service with the Bourbon monarchies of France and Spain. Both converted to Christianity and seem to have prospered and found favor.
The information comes by way of a petition, dated 1806, to the Emperor Napoleon, asking for intervention in a French lawsuit on behalf of the ex-Turk, concerning an inheritance, which contains a summarized personal history.
Granted, it is possible that this account is a bit over-egged. And there is no shortage of sayyids, syeds, saids. Its funny though to think of even a very distant kinship with, say, Sayyid Qutb.
The December, 2017 testimony from disgraced FBI agent Andrew McCabe has been released. It's full of contradictions. The guy was really too full of himself.

When the Dems have dug themselves a deeper hole, President Trump is going to "buckle."
By "buckle" I mean he will unleash his people to appear. By then President Trump will have had time to work with Republicans on the committee to corordinate their questions. (shh,big secret, Republicans get to ask questions) Those question will be directed at the witnesses concerning the collusion of all the govt actors participating in the soft coup. Think of the theater of Hope Hicks explaining the evidence the President has seen proving Obama was leading the agencies to spy on his campaign. Hicks laying out the foreign intel agencies involved, and why the Italian intel agency had a resignation of 6 of their top management chiefs.
Why has Mueller dropped out of the Democrat Talking points? Nadler figured out Republicans are going to corner him to an exact time he knew the conspiracy with Russia was a frame up. (Weeks not years) The Republicans are going to grill him on Mifsud, and why Mueller claims he was working with the Russians, when he works with Britain all the time.
Republicans have a lot more information they want from Mueller.

Such attitudes are patronizing, for they implicitly serve to place blame at the feet of voters, who apparently are too ignorant to know what’s good for them....

I encourage anyone with a brain to read the actual Steele Dossier -at the bottom of this link.
It is a piece of shit.
It is 35 pages, written as a series of 1 or 2 pages observations ("Summary" then "Detail"), with all this phony, baloney spy-lingo, jargon gobbledygook.
1. None of it signed by the supposed author ("Chris Steele")
2. It has 6 anonymous sources (Source A - Source G), sprinkled amidst all these Russian names.
3. It has double and triple hearsay. "Source A said that Ivan Romanov said that Boris Nokitoff said that..."
4. It elevates Michael Cohen as some mastermind plotter, who engineered secret meetings with Russian oligarchs in Prague -- a demonstrated lie.
5. It claims Carter Page had these secret meetings with Russian spies, although Page was exonerated by Mueller.
6. It mentions Manafort, who was nailed for several things, but nothing to do with Russian collusion.
7. It suggests not only that Russian whores peed on a hotel bed, but that there were tapes of the event (which have never surfaced.).
In sum, no sane person reading this would give it any credence. It is one man's spy novel fantasy of all these events and people, most of which are unprovable, some have which have been proven false. Think of the ending of The Usual Suspects with Kaiser Sosay. A made-up story.
And yet it was used by Comey's FBI to con a Judge into authorizing a warrant to spy on US citizens and the Trump campaign.
What a joke. And a piece of shit.
The kavalec memo says Steele relied on surkov and truibnikov, the first wouldn't give a burnt spy the time of day, the other was helpers associate which raises it's own issues.
But Bay Area Guy, much of it hasn't been disproven yet. Or so I've heard.
Kavalec as pointed out was stationed in Moscow at the same time as Steele. Steele along with his future associate burrows and superior Charles farr, were all burned by Tomlinson
Further reflections on GoT: Emilia Clarke said she prepped for her big speech to the massed soldiers by studying Hitler's speeches. Why does every dictator have to be Hitler? Why can't some dictators be modelled on Lenin or even Napoleon? I think in some ways Dany is closer to Napoleon than to Hitler. Napoleon thought he was a neo-Charlemagne when he was in fact a proto-Mussolini. Morever, Napoleon convinced many of the leading intellectual lights of his time that his bloody wars were fought for high moral purpose. Making Daenerys into a Hitler figure overly simplified the ambiguity of her motivvation. Also, I think to dramatize how seductive her power was, she should have worn a see through white gown instead of that black leather thing. As a matter of fact, that should have been her trade mark garment.

"the wish to pray is a prayer in itself"
memorize that phrase, from my pal Georges Bernanos, if you plan to spend any significant amount of time with aging older baby boomers. It is a good phrase to use around the not-quite religious who are not so far gone as to not want to hear about the POWER OF PRAYER.
right now, the 1940s cohort, with some exceptions like Trump, and I guess a few lucky hundreds of thousands - maybe, if we are being generous, a million or so - of other lucky older people, feels, most days, very old and they need the kindness that the young should show to the old - for example, they remember the phrase "the hostess with the mostest", or other phrases no longer current, and they wonder- where did those days go ---- why do those days seem so long ago - ????
and the people who are even older than that - the people who are older than people born in the late 40s - also need lots of concern and care from those of us still blessed with youth and energy. !!!!
if you are one of those people who avoid old people because they depress you:
Sad!
Wake up!
THE WISH TO PRAY IS A PRAYER IN ITSELF.
Also, go to church, and participate in the public praise of our Lord. It is not easy to understand other people, and such an action on your part will help you understand.
Not a sermon, just a thought.
Yes, with a bow as well.
We are commended to pray unceasingly Stephen cooper, so intent is the first step.
"take the first step in faith. you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step"
Martin Luther King II, the uncle of Alveda King, one of my favorite people, said that.
Indeed Stephen cooper, but many see faith as a luxury if not an inconvenience
you know this if you know poor people ---- anyone who owns a staircase, or who gets to spend time at a place with a staircase, is lucky.
That is one example of why Martin Luther King was a great speaker, he knew that.
if you were poor you know this: only rich people or people who are charging lots of coin to visit their establishments have stairs. Poor people just ain't wanted in places that are hoity toity ,or at least kind of hoity toity, anyway, with stairs and staircases.
The spezzatura of the Southern preachers of yesteryear is amazing. I remember. A forgotten art for many, but not forgotten by all of us.

Good old Chesterton. I think the fact that people will believe in anything is amply proven by religion itself, so the cleverness is more apparent than real--as so often with GKC.
And of course, it's just lazy thinking to elide not believing the claims of revealed religion with not believing "in something." Forex, I believe in my own intelligence and rationality, more than I believe anything anyone else has ever told me . . . I have empirical evidence of my own intelligence and rationality.

Funny you should use the term taxing, though (with apologies to A. Bierce):
By ancient analogy we are told,
How first the church became the fold--
The sheep into the fold are steered,
Protected from the wolf,
And sheared.
Of course, one of the factors in the early expansion of Islam was that converts to Islam were taxed less than their stubborn neighbors.

It appears that the Remainer Torys have digested the polls and are beginning to walk away from May towards a No Deal Brexit. Farage’s statement that he could no longer trust Boris has precipitated a rout in the Tory party. It looks like they know they will lose on Thursday and have shifted their attention to the next general election. They probably hope to blunt Farage’s momentum and, a la McCain, pretend to be something they are not to hold onto power. Quelle surprise!

Bloomberg reports:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has put up just 1.7 miles of fencing with the $1.57 billion that Congress appropriated last [fiscal] year for President Donald Trump’s wall along the Mexican border, a federal judge was told.
1,300 miles of border wall yet to be built will therefore cost $923,500,000 per mile or $1.2 trillion (I think) for the entire wall, not counting inflation - over the the next 765 years. I guess this building project is tougher than Trump's infamous rebuild of a Central Park ice skating rink 33 years ago.
And us oldtimers were appalled by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara's $437 hammers. $37 screws, $640 toilet seats and $7,622 coffee makers which seemed a bit high in 1983.
Gee, extrapolation off biased and unlinked source. Yah I think you're full of shit.

Then why do you misunderstand Chesterton? People have spiritual needs, a hunger to be satiated, like any other appetite. If they try to suppress that appetite it will simply manifest in other ways, often more dangerous. Look at how many atheists worship Marxism or Climatology. Or their mirrors.
Organized religion has it's flaws, certainly. But the ones who think they are smart and rational enough to go their own way usually wind up caught up in something culty. Getting conned while smirking at everyone else "for being marks".

I'll never forget (it was like a spiritual experience!) walking late one damp autumn evening, when I realized that I was literally right under an enormous flock of ducks or geese heading south; I finished my walk and stood outside listening to the thrumming rustling roar maybe 150 feet above my head for another half-hour, and they were still going over when I went inside.

Awesome to live right along the major flyway

I always put "NYT" or "WaPo" in parens or elsewhere near any link to these places. Who doesn't know that means you'll be dealing with a paywall? The warning is there. If you don't realize "NYT" or "WaPo" are sites that make money through subscriptions, why would you be reading this blog? 1. I link to these sites just about every day (at least), 2. It's basic common knowledge that you'd have to be out of it to find surprising, 3. This blog is hard enough to read that I presume all readers are intelligent.
So I think the underlying idea is really: I think you should link to trashier places. But that's not the Althouse blog.
So I just don't think you like this blog, and that makes me interpret posts taking up the reader's attention with talk of the paywall to be trolling. Trolling, as I define it, and as I regard as deletable, is an effort at hurting this blog. The continued attacks and butthurt bitching about the paywall and my deletions is more self-identification as someone who doesn't like this blog and wants to undermine it. I weed that out for the benefit of readers who want to read what I am interested in providing.
Look at it this way OM. They both take a leap of faith. Just wen you think you've got it all figured out something comes alond and lays waste to all our dearly held beliefs. Ya ne ver know.
So whatever is in charge has a perverse sense of humor.
Or not.
Depending.

Totally fair.
I would clarify - "Atheist Christian hating leftists" who worship Marxism, Climate Change or their own mirrors.
I know Atheists who are not political left. And certainly not all lefty Atheists are Christian hating Marxists.
These are generalizations. Certainly most Atheists who are on the political left, have a deep seated hatred and resentment of Christians and they buy into all the stereotypes.
I have great sympathy and respect for Christians. I was raised Christian. I just couldn't make myself believe. It's requires faith and I'm not big on faith. The story sounds absurd and I see no evidence. How that has a connection to my political beliefs is beyond me.
You know what else requires faith? Believing in man-made global warming.
I think it is a mark of my respect for honest religious faith that I don't pretend to have any, so there.

Admiring the humility merit badges so common here ;-)
Back in the old days, when O'Hair was still around and publishing "The American Atheist" they went out of their way to find conservative and non-lefty writers (though of course she was a nasty old pinko herself). (Pinka?)
I recall one lady who liked to quote one of her Catholic school teachers: Miss Soandso is impervious equally to the truths of revealed religion and higher mathematics. (Sounds like someone I know.)
Now, global warming/climate change/whatever. Whatever the cause and whatever the consequence, if a global change is taking place (I think it is) there's NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO but be prepared (or not) for the sort of catastrophe our writers and moviemakers have so carefully imagined for us in the last 120 years or so.

Well, we might throw money and power at politicians who sport 'D's . . . I have every faith in them
