That photo was taken at 5:19 this morning — the 6th of the 10 days with a 5:17 actual sunrise, the earliest sunrises of the year.
Here's how it looked — at my secondary vantage point — at 5 a.m.:

Beautiful photos!
Joe Biden: "We gotta, it's just, but, you gotta, I mean, the, we gotta reassure, look, here, my, my message to everybody I talk to" https://t.co/jn7WYOAUDC
Who can argue with that?
Since I have been in a prophetic mood lately -
Obama and his wife will stay together the rest of their life, in a happy relationship.
50 years from now, nobody will publicly admit that they admire any President of our lifetimes, except Reagan and Trump.
Abortion will be limited, among women, to a professional caste of prostitutes who signed up before they got pregnant, and not a single MTF transexual will ever request an abortion.
The world will not end, and many many people who felt like they were young in 2020 will still feel young in 2060.
I will be long forgotten, and nobody will visit my grave.
and if they do, they will get to meet the renegade angel who was supposed to be my guardian angel but who found something more important to do when I was a baby, before I could talk. But they won't. But if someone did, that someone would learn that we were pals, that renegade angel and me. But that someone never existed and never will, so there's that. That being said, I long ago forgave that poor renegade angel. It is no small thing to be a friend to a creature who never had a friend in this world, I can tell you that (as can the poor little renegade).
That's what everybody thought Wagner was. It turned out that he was a sunset.
I had a bike tire flat owing to Facebook a week ago; their construction of a new site around here for some reason has left nails on the road shoulder.
So I patched that and it went flat again today, owing to the nail hole having damaged the cord and the tube eventually rubbed another hole in itself against the road.
That's two patches in a week in rural Ohio, a record not encountered since I commuted in northern NJ along route 10, which is constructed largely with bits of wire and broken glass.
While I was at it, when I got home, I swapped not only the outer tire but also some worn out disc brake pads, my last set on hand. They apparently don't make them anymore so I'm not sure what will happen next time. It's a shame to spring for another bicycle after only 20 years.
...and they werent even throwing Mazel Tov cocktails

Baby, ya got that right!

Any pro-life groups thinking of painting Black Lives Matters on the street in front of an abortion clinic?
What's the city going to do? Paint over the words?
I dont know how can be so sanguine, in the end after the tribulation those who ade the remnant will be saved but before that
This is a link to a darksecretplace if the label retains accuracy.
Moderators will go to bed. See you tomorrow.
I have been pondering on sunsong's quote from Mathew Dowd, regarding the ability of Germans to operate a fairly robust nation without benefit of public displays celebrating the NAZIs.
I am afraid they are right. If we, as a nation, the USA, are going to expect, and indeed demand, that blacks consider themselves equally fortunate and equally obligate members of the USA, it is not unreasonable that they should expect us, as a nation, to refrain from glorifying those who fought a war to ensure the subjugation of their race. Why should a black woman pay taxes to a nation that will use them to maintain a statue of a man who fought a war to ensure that she would be a slave? Why should she be proud when her son joins the military forces of that nation?
Hey since we are talking almost in real time - let me say one more thing ---
Absolutely nobody who has tried to insult me on these blogwebs has succeeded.
There is a line in the Book of Proverbs about how it is better to argue than to flatter.
Well, whoever wrote the Book of Proverbs said it better than I can say, but if you are reading this, and if you recognize me as someone you argued with - well God bless you, your guardian angel is without doubt a friend of my patron saint (I never had a guardian angel since I was a baby and my patron saint is Saint Michael the Archangel). God loves you for your sincere efforts to instruct me (if they were sincere).
And no, I am not a prophet, and no, I do not have a very high opinion of myself.
I just like communicating with people.
I am much better with dogs than I am with people, but I try my best with humans.
Trust me, you have never seen charisma in action the way you would see it if you saw how I communicate with dogs (and cats, and ferrets, and crows and cockroaches, and so on.... ).
None of that makes me all that happy, though, the only thing that makes me happy is knowing that some of you know that the only thing I am afraid of is some one of you might die and not go to Heaven.
Please, please, my friends, reflect on how much God loves you.
Don't worry about me. Nobody ever has, to tell the truth, and you don't want to be the first. Trust me on that. Think of your elderly relatives, and remember me.
Extending Act 10 to police unions could make officers more accountable to the public

Some, select, Black Lives Matter. So Pro-Choice. #BabyLivesMatter
In other news, Trump has confirmed what we all suspected, that there are two sexes: male and female, and two sex-correlated genders (i.e. physical and mental attributes): masculine and feminine, respectively, and a transgender spectrum, represented by a "Rainbow" exclusive of the colors black and brown, and featuring the shredded remains of white.
De Blasio won’t get tested — until after he attends a Trump rally. That's where he'll catch it.
Also, CBS is celebrating a feminist schism with the progress of diversity and exclusion. No longer is it man vs woman, but NOW it is woman vs woman divided into diversity blocs. You've come along way, baby... fetus... whatever. Racism, sexism, classicism have been normalized with a forward-looking, backward-stepping quasi-religious revival.
After a two decade hiatus, fed executions scheduled for July 13, 15, 17, and Aug 28. All four are child killers. Smart move by Barr. I hope the Boston marathon bomber isn’t too far down the list.
Daniel Lewis Lee, a member of a white supremacist group, murdered a family of three, including an eight-year-old girl. After robbing and shooting the victims with a stun gun, Lee covered their heads with plastic bags, sealed the bags with duct tape, weighed down each victim with rocks, and threw the family of three into the Illinois bayou. On May 4, 1999, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas found Lee guilty of numerous offenses, including three counts of murder in aid of racketeering, and he was sentenced to death. Lee’s execution is scheduled to occur on July 13, 2020.
Wesley Ira Purkey violently raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl, and then dismembered, burned, and dumped the young girl’s body in a septic pond. He also was convicted in state court for using a claw hammer to bludgeon to death an 80-year-old woman who suffered from polio and walked with a cane. On November 5, 2003, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri found Purkey guilty of kidnapping a child resulting in the child’s death, and he was sentenced to death. Purkey’s execution is scheduled to occur on July 15, 2020.
Dustin Lee Honken shot and killed five people — two men who planned to testify against him, and a single, working mother and her ten-year-old and six-year-old daughters. On October 14, 2004, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa found Honken guilty of numerous offenses, including five counts of murder during the course of a continuing criminal enterprise, and he was sentenced to death. Honken’s execution is scheduled to occur on July 17, 2020.
Keith Dwayne Nelson kidnapped a 10-year-old girl rollerblading in front of her home, and in a forest behind a church, raped her and strangled her to death with a wire. On October 25, 2001, Nelson pled guilty in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri to the kidnapping and unlawful interstate transportation of a child for the purpose of sexual abuse which resulted in death, and he was sentenced to death. Nelson’s execution is scheduled to occur on August 28, 2020.
There's a kind of reverse cancel. It happened to Hamilton and now Grant. They have both been post-posthumously validated and put on the Pantheon. Good for Chernow. He's restored the reputation of two great Americans.....Grant was treated poorly by posterity for his mistakes while President but, on the plus side, he had a sweet ride immediately after his presidency. He took a long trip around the world. The government frequently supplied the transport, and kings and emperors went out of their way to entertain him. He stayed as a guest at the King of Siam's palace. I don't suppose he got any concubine action, but the food was probably good. Chernow doesn't mention any philandering on Grant's part. Liquor and gullibility appeared to be Grant's only vices....Anyway, I wouldn't mind if posterity treated me badly if I got to be entertained by kings and emperors during my time on earth.
I called out shitheads from the start with amazing precision.
I've deemed it my responsibility to check others.
My penis has shrunk. Don't matter to certain extents, but I understand the pain of getting older better now.
I've know the great Bubu has been right for some time.
I tried my version of what I will refer to as "counter-ops" in hopes the America bashing, while warranted, wasn't helpful.
I truly appreciate our host here making the point I couldn't ever.
It's a sad day on Althouse. All those judicial picks and the fags and trannies still get to keep their jobs.
https://mobile.twitter.com/PepeClinton
I think Althouse's new system should include KING VIP status for Andy-aced shiite Sadist, beta3000 (paid by me in perpetuity), dickhardin, Mr. Stephen Cooper, funch it Drago, Crack Crack, Boy Bob, michael/mike/dr/mikee or mark/mark/mark, all except for the latter, you found.
And the ladder Mark is climbing finds itself inseficient to withstnad the load and then crumbles, sea-wise like Led Zep sold out jet airplanes to discuss unilaterily.
I leave my "typos" in becuase thn I know it's me.
"Since I have been in a prophetic mood lately"
Way best.
I hope Chuck blaming Donald blows.
Cruelty would be that Brit actor who played Gandalph actually understanding Gandolphs exist, Sir Ian Mckllellan or whatever, see, he was just jokin' 'round. Just playing a role. If he gets rich or becomes blacklisted, he don't care, it's all about the role. Nobody can say that about rhhardin.
So he ought be ostricized for not being 100% entirely against Yale, every shred, burning down now, tonight.
Cops poisoned at ShakeShack tonight.
Will their business be up or down tomorrow? Lots of boycotters for sure, but lots of poisoning supporters too, showing solidarity. It will be interesting. Their twitter feed has a lot of people cheering the poisoners.

If lawlessness is allowed for some favored groups of people, then those who oppose those favored groups also will start to behave lawlessly:
Man shot as protesters clash with ‘vigilantes’ in New Mexico
This will not end well.
It would be too easy for snipers to pick off one anarchist a day. But legal gun owners are law abiders by nature. But it would fun for the anarchist demanding the police get involved.
Over at Breitbart I read that three policemen were treated to poisoned shakes at Shake Shack. I think decent Americans (not you, Inga, ARM, gadfly, Freder) need to boycott Shake Shacks as COVID-19 restrictions are eased across the country.
Onate was an interesting fellow. He was descended from both Cortes and Montezuma on his mothers side, so ethnically he was a Mexican mestizo of the second generation - ever. He was a Mexican in other words.
He was also descended from the highest and most ancient Spanish nobility, the Haro family, the ancient Lords of Vizcaya, one of the Basque clans that migrated south in the dark ages and founded the Kingdom of Castile, and forgot Basque along the way. They are a perpetual item in medieval Spanish history and the reconquista, its dynastic wars and rebellions. He was Spain itself in other words, the whole history of it, plus also its empire.
He was quite as daring as Cortes, departing the limits of the known world and marching forth into lands never seen before by a European. It was just his bad luck that there was no rich civilization in Kansas and Oklahoma to pillage and take over.
He was therefore my homeboy, and hence both cruel and glorious. I resent the disrespect given to our magnificent warrior chief.
F****** typical restaurant food poisoning that happens all the time. But you guys are desperate for more outrage pornography to fill your ever-shrinking eversoft spankbank capability

The shooting was clearly self-defense. Not ending well is the only way what is happening now can end.

There you go projecting again, Howie. Tear down that Lincoln statue, Howie.
Matt Taibbi has an article in Rolling Stone on how the left has lost its mind. It includes this sentence.
"They are counting on the guilt-ridden, self-flagellating nature of traditional American progressives, who will not stand up for themselves, and will walk to the Razor voluntarily."
What does "walk to the Razor" refer to?
“By 4 a.m. EST Tuesday, NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison tweeted that a “thorough investigation” determined “no criminality by Shake Shack’s employees.””

I believe it's the guillotine/French revolution.

The guillotine was nicknamed "the razor".
Swanny,
The guillotine was nicknamed "the razor".
I'm trying to keep my crayon within the lines, and only post off-topic stuff in Cafe's.
I've been seeing ACAB painted as graffiti around Seattle. I had to look it up:
A.C.A.B. is an acronym meaning "All Cops Are Bastards".
Just seems so childish!!
"walk to the Razor"
A variation of "falling on one's sword"?

"The National Razor" giving very close haircuts.
It's unfortunate that Inga is borderline illiterate - "no criminal intent" does not equal "were not poisoned".
Indeed, the cops were poisoned, apparently because Shake Shack employees are idiots. It's fortunate that idiocy is not criminal, or Inga would be wearing a permanent ankle bracelet.

Who would have guessed, but the CHOP (nee CHAZ) has devolved into The Lord of the Flies!!
My daughter's boyfriend has a business overlooking the 11th and Pine intersection at the heart of CHOP. They have watched the situation for the last couple of days, and today they evacuated the equipment.
The mayor is wondering around CHOP looking for the conch shell.
I'm sure she's a really swell lesbian. She's a terrible mayor.
Inga can be relied upon to find an innocent explanation for any idiotic act by leftists, including leaving bleach in the drink machine. Never have run any sort of business, she has no idea of the risks of stupid employees harming customers.
The important thing about Lord of the Flies is not that the boys turn into primitives, but that they instantly turn back when authority arrives.
Authority didn't have a fire-starting media business model then, though.
Shorter Michael K: oh, no, Inga ... must respond...
