It's a shame we do not have the recorded conversation of his recent call to ChiCom leader Xi Jingping Pong. That would have been comedy gold. Maybe Rooskie intelligence can resurrect it.; 3/29/22, 8:01 AM

LOL. It does look cheesy! I'm always happy to see extravagant color (and reflections on the water) and disappointed when I get stuff at the other end of the spectrum, but the best situation is more in the middle. Still, I celebrate the full range and take whatever is given by the day.; 3/29/22, 8:26 AM

Humperdink said...: He replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but are you unable to discern the signs of the times?..."

Unable to discern the signs of times? The affliction is epidemic.; 3/29/22, 8:39 AM

And boy has it worked well. I doubt there's a better record of sunrise anywhere. Thanks.; 3/29/22, 9:36 AM

Yep, old saying: Matthew 16:2,3.; 3/29/22, 11:45 AM
farmgirl said...: Heh!! Matt 16:2-3
That’s a revelation to me.
It looks like a nicer day than it’s been all week. Yesterday morning it was 12.; 3/30/22, 5:58 AM
