(0533) Morning all. Light appeared slightly at 0459, by 0525 it was 80% light in the sunroom, but there was heavy nimbus out there and there has been earlier rain. How do I know? I had to check in response to DAD’s “Test” post at 1380:3 … that response by me is continued in Wed 1 below here. (0627)

 

5. Planning any boat or shed building soon?

4. Would you prefer the official food guidelines

… as put out by three letter agencies and big pharma, on packets, or would you prefer “The Food Babe”?

3. The steal

2. DAD at 1380:4

a) On the sidelines of the Africa Forward summit, Emmanuel Macron called on dual nationals to fully embrace their dual identity: “Being dual national means being 100% French and 100% from one’s country of origin.”

b) France. Bobigny (93): A magistrate tasked with combating narcotics admits to his own addiction to methamphetamine and chemsex; he obtained his supply within his own jurisdiction.

c) France. Agde (34): After being tasered and taken into custody for vandalism with a machete, a Roma man in his sixties died in his cell after hitting his head against the walls. Witnesses described him as a “hysterical individual, unable to control himself.”

d) France. Vegetables, bread, meat… Food vending machines have proliferated in rural communities… but are increasingly targeted by acts of vandalism and looting, which cost their owners dearly.

e) France. The left-wing politician wanted to get her money back. That could summarize the case that the 13th Criminal Chamber of Paris is to examine this Tuesday afternoon, with the slight difference that the left-wing politician in question – Sophia Chikirou – allegedly broke the law in the process. 

1. Response to DAD at 1380:3 continues

The interesting aspect of DAD’s “Test” comment is why … why had it not appeared? (By the way, rain has just started heavily falling now outside at 0543.)

It may have been something in DAD’s works over there … had not clicked send … or had clicked send but something had delayed it. Let’s say the latter … he has Macron to contend with, we have Starmer, there is trouble with Ada and Eva and five others related to TR Saturday … thus the cyber agencies were delaying posts to peruse them.

Might have been, perhaps not. Either way, DAD’s drop came through. And you’ll notice … only DAD’s. We know Steve has gone away for R&R.

But there’s another aspect … Monday’s drops saw this:

And there it stopped. The streak stopped. 158 days, goes back now to 1. Was going to put up a new post, then thought nah … let’s have NOWP as a DAD blog just now … why not? ☺️
