Dedicated to Toodles.
(0931) Nice out there mid-morn. (1017)
15. Toodles on the fairway
Finally, I did get out the door and to the links. You wouldn’t believe my shots. I could have been a professional. Right down the middle. Pretty shots. My putting caused me to go one over par called a bogey. The next home was a double bogey. The third was 3 over par.

Suddenly I lost steam. I had gotten very hot. The hat I wore was more of a negative than a positive. I was sweltering. On the 4th hole I sat under the trees and just sat. I could not hit another ball. I could not. Spent. However my game until that point was the best I had done consistently since we started playing last April.

(JH: Was speaking to MMutR about Toodles’s feat and he was most impressed. My only contribution to this is I only ever played 9 holes once, for 58. Don’t think that matches Ms Toodles … frightening really.)
14. She’s not the only one saying it

13. It came to a head in 2014

12. The stylistic error of Sparkle

11. This ostrich farm thing in BC, Canada

Not so sure it was just on a whim … there was something in it for the dreeps, either monetarily, satanically to stress people out … or both … maybe to inure people to callousness, to have us in a daze:

(0734) Morning all again I think, seems bright out there. (0802)
10. She’s a porter, Moosh?

9. We had that issue, resolved class by class
… afa the teacher him/herself saw it. My view was that if warned far enough ahead, it was fine, I could package a light bit of reading and questions for the child. I valued the goodwill of the parents more … but not as a soft touch.

8. Not sure who this woman in govt is
… but think you get the idea.

7. Chris Morrison for TDS (navbar)
“Further dramatic scientific evidence has emerged to show that the UK Met Office’s 387-strong temperature network is hopelessly corrupted by unnatural heat influences and is effectively useless in providing credible guidance on many individual measurements and average trends. Since the Met Office has so few stations in pristine, uncorrupted CIMO Class 1 and 2 locations, where no errors are likely, nationwide ambient air temperature averages are impossible to gather, but Dr Eric Huxter has done the next best thing. He has examined over half a million 60-second measurements over the year at the Class 1 site at Rothamsted and produced a benchmark database against which the obviously unnatural ‘heat spikes’ that litter junk Class 4 and 5 sites can be compared. His results are truly shocking. One set of junk sites declaring daily spiked maximums since late April are on average well over 2°C higher than that expected at Rothamsted.”
6. This Tylenol thing
Fauci all over again … ok, says Donny, Tylenol bad but don’t worry, I have an eminent pharma here to give you this new wonder drug instead. What is it with the Donald? In thrall to Big Pharma?



(0533) Dark out there. (0633)
5. With apologies to Bob Dylan
… on the hormonal misses running departments just now, imagining a time when their Chuckette reign of terror finally comes to a close.
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Robbed people’s last dime in ministerial prime, didn’t you?
People call say ‘beware doll, you’re bound to fall’
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
People of the land stressing out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be in tears, striking wild
Like a stymied beech, like a pouting child
4. Like a pouting child

a) Have the French fallen out of love with elections? Or have they decided that it makes no difference – the politicians always do what they want – not what the voters want?
b) Tusk [is] weakened by the dawn raids and brutality of his government.
c) Through the night of September 9th, Polish airspace was invaded. Flying from Ukraine and Belarus, between nineteen and twenty-three (Russian?) drones drifted westward into Polish; and, therefore, NATO; airspace (JH: repurposed downed Russki drone shells).
d) The loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum [suddenly promoted by Macron] represents a “technical challenge,” acknowledged Philippe Bélaval, the advisor tasked by the Élysée Palace with the operation…..
Solstice very soon, it being 1729 now … good evening, all. (1850) 29 minutes to equinox!
17. Was looking up the history of a song
… and in this, the white record company execs were truly bad people, evil, and the blacks were truly ripped off, finally got reparations and in this case, I quite agree.
Here’s the original Solomon Linda song.
And it’s unfortunate that I feel this is the best version below coz she’s a Sydney Sweeney looking type. I’d defend myself by saying I vastly prefer the Pioneers’ Longshot to the Specials’, plus only Osibisa could have done their songs.
But Lion needs a higher register … all deep voice? Not really. Plus she’s much older than she looks.
16. Steve and war room
War Room – just a handful of those who spoke at Charlie’s memorial…
15. Oh ho ho!

14. Time spares no one

13. Moosh corner

12. Poor Canada, victim of itself … as with us

11. Reading the signs, reading the room
Some things are better left unstated but the expression “you shall know them by their fruits” applies to everything, from a verse in the bible way back to DJT to little folk like this blog and me. To you.
There are things which will simply not appear in this blog complex but then we get to the different sites within the complex … some types of material appear in one place, sometimes signposted, sometimes buried, sometimes left as your comments in the thread … there’s always reasoning behind it.
The test is … are they still accessible one, two weeks, months, down the track? Judge by that rather than who seems favoured, who seems not. It’s not unlike spinning multiple plates. There’s a new one up for an hour now, not telling you where, not even signposting … is that to punish or protect?
“A camera gets mysteriously dropped into the open top car of a man, John Gray, returning from holiday. On finding the camera he develops the pictures which leads him to a pretty girl, a lost brother and eventually a murder. This is an entertaining picture with good performances and excellent cinematography by Ernest Palmer and editing by David Lean. Not a shot is wasted and the some of the dialogue is very amusing.
Playing John Gray is Henry Kendall and he is a joy, a shy gentleman who is always talking, a timid man who gets braver. Adding to the fun are Victor Stanley as his cheeky cockney assistant, Ida Lupino as the delightful damsel in distress and the great Felix Aylmer as a coroner. Davina Craig also shines as the gormless maid. John Mills acts as the brother in this his third film of a long career in movies.
I also learned a bit of rhyming slang completely unknown to me; a holy friar…meaning a liar.”
(1326) Afternoon all, afternoon already. Been frenetic, too many things at once in RL and here, and issues with the new pad. (1344)
10. Redacted
I thought some may appreciate this.

a) Several French mayors defied government orders and flew Palestinian flags on town halls, with more expected to follow suit as France prepares to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly.
b) The unions, meeting on Friday, the day after a large-scale mobilization against budgetary austerity measures on Thursday, September 18, gave the new Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, until Wednesday, September 24, to respond to “their demands.”
c) Greata’s flotilla in trouble. In Bizerte, local coordinator Khaled Boujemâa announced his resignation in protest against the presence of LGBTQ activists on the flotilla…..
d) In an online message titled O Zealous Monotheists, ISIS spokesman Abu Hudhaifa al-Ansari told supporters to “chase your prey… in the streets and roads of precious America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them, and punish them by any means you can.”
