... you can talk about whatever you want.
This photo was taken at 6:53. Quite a difference from all that red, purple, and pink in the photo posted earlier today, which showed the sunrise at 6:35. The sunrise time today was 6:44, so this was an example of the importance of needing to get out there early if you want to see the really florid color. It doesn't happen every day. Not even close. But when it happens, it happens early.
Notice that big wall of ice in this 6:53 photo. You may remember yesterday's photo of the ice, looking out in the western direction, but this is the eastern view, and this ice is newly piled up at the shore. Here's a little video I took to highlight how different it was today:

Many times, when the sun heads for the western horizon, I am treated with a rain shower on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, and a magnificent rainbow. The rainbow arcs over a palette of blue, pink, orange and gray clouds.
.......kinda makes a feller think that he should go to church on Sunday.
Naaaahhh......my wife tithes. That's good enough!!....although she is Catholic!
It wasn't until the past couple of days that I realized I had a medical condition. I've been losing my hair since my 30's (thanks, Dad). Now I'm a middle aged semi-bald man.
And all along, I had something called "alopecia." All the comments I've endured, because of a medical condition.
It puts me in the mood to slap the shit out of somebody.
No one will impugn my honor ever again.

Via Reddit: Will Smith Making Fun Of Arsenio Hall's Band Member With Alopecia & Telling The Audience It's Just A Joke!

A joke from Moscow: "According to Putin the special military operation is really a conflict between Russia and NATO about World dominance. What's the situation now?" "Russia has lost 15,000 troops, 6 generals, 500 tanks, 3 ships, 100 planes and 1,000 trucks. NATO hasn't arrived yet."
So I'm watching the TV series on Amazon prime Reacher season 1 episode 1 getting towards the end of the first episode one of the main characters says to Reacher:
"get my wife's name out of your mouth".
Maybe the Will Smith Chris Rock duatup was scripted.
OK, I think I am finally up to speed on this whole Smith/Oscar thing. I knew nothing about the whole sordid fiasco, until the Jackal Press served it up. And somehow, in the course of processing the grotesque mess, I just assumed that August Alina was a woman. Like, a vaginal person, right? So, during a bad patch in their relationship, the Jayda person had gotten sexy with some chick, hopefully a cute one. Guys are a little defensive about that (what's she got that I ain't got?), but there's also the idea that it could somehow lead to a threesome. What one guy does with two women has never been clear to me, but I do understand the abstract attraction of the notion. So, OK. She went a little lesbo for a while. Whatevs. Not a show-stopper.
But now I discover that this August item is male. Like, a dick-bearing person. Beardo the weirdo. Sorry if I am just now catching up. But that means that the Jayda VP is a filthy whore, not an edgy lesboid. So, Smith's course is obvious; Divorce the slut. Duh!
Except. She is allegedly the mother of his children. Two of them. And they even look a little like him. So. What a fucked-up situation. And she isn't even good-looking. How did he come to get stuck with this monster, anyway? Does she have some sort of talent or something? Maybe she looked better with hair and a smile on the front of her evil lie processing organ.
Given all that, and also, his very well-done apology, I'm good to cut him some slack. In fact, I feel for the poor bastard. The best thing is for her to drive off a cliff in Malibu. Killed "senselessly" during a home-invasion robbery -- lot of that going around in LA these days. Hell, helicopter accident. Hushed-up OD, even. Whatever. You know, most guys would never dream of sticking their dicks in a rat-trap. But if they did, they'd be over it a lot sooner than poor Will Smith is going to get over sticking his dick in this crazy bitch.
In other news of the day...from the Internet's Tabloid of Record:
Feline foolish! Nebraska lawmaker faces furry fury after he parroted debunked conspiracy that schools were putting out litter boxes for students who identified as cats
Sen. Bruce Bostelman, a conservative Republican claimed that it was to accommodate children who self-identify as cats or dogs
Bostelman said he was 'shocked' that children were dressing as cats and dogs while at school, with claims schools were accommodating them with litter boxes
"...'They meow and they bark and they interact with their school, with their teachers in this fashion. And now schools are wanting to put litter boxes in the schools for these children to use. How is this sanitary?'"
'My soul left my body,' his Democratic colleague Megan Hunt said, recalling the moment Bostelman brought up the topic.

Someone will probably come up with The Bostleman Award" in recognition of the most idiotic legislator of the year.
Candidates that definitely have a shot at winning it in 2022 include AOC and Madison Cawthorn.
"I have no idea what a burner phone is, to the best of my knowledge I have never even heard the term." -- Donald J. Trump, March 29, 2022
NEWS: Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton said in an interview [yesterday] that he recalls Trump using the term “burner phones” in several discussions and that Trump was aware of its meaning . . .
Trump's "Truth in lies" indeed - and yes, he always squeaks loudly and smells like a stink bug when threatened.

Burner phones, you say? If I was being relentlessly spied on by the commie-pinko left, I would use every means necessary.
Joe Rogan on Rock/Smith occurance.
I didn't listen to all of it, so maybe this came up...
If it was Joe Rogan instead of Chris Rock, would Will Smith have reacted the same? And if not, does that make Smith a bully?

Not to mention “I am a River to my people.”
"If it was Joe Rogan instead of Chris Rock, would Will Smith have reacted the same?"
Not a workable hypothetical. A black comedian was deployed to make the jokes about the black actor. That had to be.
Very interesting article concerning problems with wind and solar energy storage.
The People Promising Us “Net Zero” Have No Clue About the Energy Storage Problem
From the article: ...based on actual historical patterns of usage and generation from wind and solar sources, and you will find that to have a fully wind/solar generation system and make it through a year without a catastrophic failure, you will need approximately a three-times overbuild (based on rated capacity) of the wind/solar system, plus storage for something in the range of 24 – 30 days of average usage. For these purposes “usage” at any given moment is measured in gigawatts, but usage for some period of time is measured in gigawatt hours, not gigawatts. California’s average electricity usage for 2020 was about 31 GW; Australia’s was about 26 GW ; and New York’s was about 18 GW.
To calculate how much storage you need in gigawatt hours, multiply average usage in GW by 30 days and 24 hours per day. So California will need about 22,302 GWH of storage, Australia about 18,720 GWH, and New York about 12,960 GWH. That is to supply current levels of demand. For the “everything electrified” case, triple all of these numbers: 66,906 GWH for California, 56,160 GWH for Australia, and 38,880 GWH for New York. Price that out at current costs of Tesla-type lithium-ion batters (~$150/KWH) and you will get around $10 trillion for California, $8.4 trillion for Australia, and $5.8 trillion for New York.
Collins ends the suspense. But probably stokes the freakout.
"If it was Joe Rogan instead of Chris Rock, would Will Smith have reacted the same? And if not, does that make Smith a bully?"
The most remarkable thing about the slap was the complete absence of menace. Rock was astonished but not frightened. Watching Smith's face, I was reminded of the times in junior high when two boys had come to the point where they had to fight after school, and neither one really wanted to. A couple awkward blows exchanged, a handshake. End of story.
Ok, Ann. How about Dave Chappelle? No way Will Smith takes on Rick James, bitch.
Well looky here!! WAPO has decided to pretend they are a news source now!! https://twitter.com/mviser/status/1509186635887435782?
They're just gonna pretend that it was OK to suppress this story during the heat of a national election based on false pretenses, & that the intel professionals who endorsed the lie should face no consequences, not even in public credibility.
THIS is why NOBODY trusts the media. WE knew about this for 2 years, and we were told it was RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION, and we were censored for posting about it. THIS is why the Progressive party is going to go the way of the WHIGS. They can't hide anymore.
Seems like Republicans are the only ones telling the truth though.....All of this was printed on Conservative sites, and dismissed by Progressives as Russian disinformation. They propagandists on the left interfered with an election.

On top of the Hunter Laptop that WAPO and the NYT's finally are recognizing as the truth that the REST OF US KNEW IT WAS......NOW, they are charging Hillary and the DNC for pushing the FAKE DOSSIER on us for 5 years. They should be in prison...not smally fined for the damage (it's a joke that those fines are ALL they got, but I guess it is better than nothing, but it STILL isn't going to erase their hatred of us) THEY did to this country by dividing us all....https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/fec-fines-dnc-clinton-for-trump-dossier-hoax
