Well as long as he identifies as a Fetterman who are you going to believe? After all, DNA isn’t dispositive regarding sex or gender so how can you prove it is a double? Trust science!

NOT CATHOLIC, Snow on Pine, although many churches which claim to be Catholic are nowhere near that.

P.S. I read somewhere that an enormous amount of the brain’s capacity is devoted to facial recognition, useful perhaps in the remote past, to identify and remember who is part of your particular tribe, or perhaps to identify who the Neanderthals are.

I always forget names–even more so as I get older–but I very rarely forget a face.

I also have this weird thing where, when I look at some people, often younger people, I can often get a flash, an image of what they will look like when they are much older.

Sunsets: we have had many marvelous red or orange sunsets (earth eclipsings) on our lakefront property over the years, comparable to your photo, plus a few that truly rival “on golden pond” in goldenness. No reason to move these last 30+ years.

Many years ago the wife also saw one on a 5 acre parcel on the river that “we had to buy”; red in the gap between the clouds above and the river below. But we never saw that coloration ever again.

Snow on Pine: I saw Texas and thought “oh, a church service coupled to a drag race for some reason” 🙂

On Fetterman photos: agree man on right looks different; but the photo angle, lighting, and resolution levels might account for it. Still, crooked nose and ears seem most striking differences, along with egg vs. ball head shape. Even the beard shaping and color is off a little.

I have taken at least 10,000 sunset images. Now I record and compress them. We have about 80 sunset videos. This one has over 100 views and sometimes has ads.

Kate:

Retour à vous!

When you got up this morning, did you realize you were going to commit an act of litotes? 🙂

I don’t know where I am as a Christian, but I’m pretty sure these leftie Churchianity Christians are in the wading pool.

If that’s where they are, it’s a good place to be, but it gets deeper.

I’m delighted to amuse you, huxley. 🙂 I have read that in rural areas there are still a few UCC churches, formerly Congregational, who still practice Christianity, so I didn’t want to claim they’re all pagans.

I see our politicians are hard at work or, alternatively, “I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille.”*
