  1. And in another absolutely gobsmacking surprise, Fauci…plays the vaunted Comey gambit!
    ‘Fauci Deposition report: “he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his Covid response!”;
    ‘Louisiana AG Jeff Landry: “Wow! It was amazing to spend 7 hours with Dr. Fauci. The man who single-handedly wrecked the U.S. economy based upon ‘the science.’ Only to discover that he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his Covid response!” ‘—

    …as he laughs all the way to the bank.
    Hey, maybe he’ll write a book—perhaps with an introduction or forward (or appreciation) by SBF—“Follow the Yellow-Brick Science”(!?).
    Or maybe he’ll get a prime-time gig at CNN or MSNBC, etc…
    Most likely, this aged warrior (against everything decent) would prefer to settle down and enjoy his twilight years in peace and quiet….

  2. HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Please enjoy and relax.

    Thanks for the video. I really love these kind of things. The last couple of photos show an area that my Wife and I were staying in this last Aug/Sept. Nothing really changed much, could recognize the area. Businesses have changed but not so much the buildings.

  3. I have a friend who, when he retired, was left with a large warehouse. Thanks to a bitcoin mining operation, has nicely supplemented his retirement.

    He did have to install a massive air conditioners.

  4. King Jay may have something to say to your friend; wasting Grant County PUD hydropower for capitalist thievery. 🙁

  5. Might be fun to have the old black and whites of long gone relatives colorized.

    Quick search shows it ain’t cheap.

  6. Barry Meislin, so Fauci did the Hillary Clinton routine. Unable to recall anything. We shouldn’t have had an amnesiac in charge at NIH.

  7. A nit about an all-too-common mistake about early balloons: those in the Paris photo are not hot-air balloons! They are hydrogen-filled balloons, which were the most common form of balloon for over a century after the first Montgolfier balloon, which was indeed a hot-air balloon! Hydrogen prevailed because it was easy to produce and generated vastly more lift than hot air. Since hot air loses its lift as it cools, hydrogen also enabled longer flights.

  8. }}} We shouldn’t have had an amnesiac in charge at NIH.

    Democrats (and yes, many Republicans) get amazingly forgetful when caught with their hands in places they don’t belong.

    Of course, the media is going to circle any Republicans who “forget” like sharks circling chum, and never let go.

    In fact, they often do this even when Republicans DON’T have their hands where they don’t belong.

    Democrats get a Free Pass on their hysterical(-ly improbable) amnesia.

  9. }}} … hydrogen also enabled longer flights.

    … and spectacularly impressive fiery descents!

    😀

  10. As to the quality of color photographs, “by the 60s”, they were garbage. I was thoroughly disenchanted with “instamatic” photography when I took a picture of a very pretty sunrise… then got the picture back and it was completely “meh”.

    I didn’t really get back into photography at all until I was in HS and took a photography class, which led to my learning to use an SLR camera, which took far better photos of any kind. I did not do any color print work as a part of the class (that process was finicky and beyond the scope of a 1 school year course) — only B&W prints — but we did do color slides and developed them ourselves for an end-of-year “multimedia” presentation (we were supposed to have a theme tied to a musical piece that went along with the slideshow).

    I chose
    Chicago (“Transit Authority”) – Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
    as the music.
