THE SNAIL PACE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
The snail’s pace of the department of justice to hold the plotters of the January 6 attempted coup responsible was predictable.
President Obama nominated Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court because as a circuit judge Garland was unexceptional with his opinions, and Obama felt he would be the least controversial to get through a Republican Senate conformation, but Republican Senate leader McConnell refused to bring Garland up for a confirmation vote.
President Biden chose Garland for Attorney General as a gesture of loyalty to the Obama/Biden Presidency; but an uncontroversial mild mannered judge is not exactly what you want for an Attorney General.
Garland was never a prosecutor, and that should have been the gold standard for running the Department of Justice.
So for two years, after an attempt to overthrow the Government of the United States, we have been stuck with a timid Attorney General hesitant to investigate the people responsible.
Garland has been highlighted by public opinion for his inaction. He has finally been able to abdicate his responsibility by appointing a Special Prosecutor to take the heat.
I fear that that after two years any serious chance of holding Donald Trump responsible for the MAGA rebellion
against the United States of America will be too little and too late.

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY SHOOTING
It is just another beautiful day in the land of the free and the home of the guns.
Democrats passed an assault weapons band, George W. Bush let it expire. Republicans prevent gun legislations. Republican law makers are responsible for American Carnage.

WARNING ALIEN INVASION !
It is a spy
satellite, But Not From China!
It has finally happened, aliens from a distant galaxy have transited space with interstellar balloons. This is an advanced recon team that leads the actual military balloon invasion intent on conquering earth's inhabitants.
If you look close you can identify the alien invaders.
Aliens scouts
have unknowingly been assimilating into our society. Stephen
King warned us: We all float down
here.

SHAKING QUAKERS
On February
29, 1736, Ann Lee was born in Manchester, England. She married a blacksmith and bore four
children who all died in infancy.
Ann Lee
traveled around England preaching against sexual intercourse as the “root of
all depravity.”
In 1774 she and
her followers immigrated to the United States and settled in Watervliet, New York. “Mother Ann” as she was known, founded the
religious sect known as the “Shaking Quakers.”
The colony was expected to
practice complete celibacy and communal ownership of all goods and wealth.
By 1826
there were 28 Shaker communities spread from Maine to Indiana.
The last active Shaker community is located at Sabbathday Lake in Maine.
The epitaph
of William Stratton reads:
“Here lies the body of
William Stratton, of Paddington,
Buried 18th day of May,
1734, age 97 years;
Who had by his first wife 28
children;
By his second 17, was own father of
45;
Grandfather of 86’ great-grandfather
of 23.
In all 154 children”
The epitaph
of Ann Jennings reads:
“Some have children – some have none
Here lies the mother of twenty-one.
I understand
how widows and unmarried women of that era might look at a future of subserviency
to a husband, cooking, cleaning, washing, child care – and giving birth every
year until their bodies were wrecked and their health destroyed, and be drawn
to a community of abstinence.
I don’t understand a man choosing celibacy. That seems to be against our DNA and most
basic primal instincts. But perhaps there
was more going on in the Men’s dormitory than making Shaker furniture.

HOW COLD IS COLD?
The temperature this morning is 17 below zero (-27.2 C) with wind gusting to thirty-five miles per hour.
That puts the wind chill near minus fifty-five (-48.3 C).
This temperature is a concern, but doesn't freak us out. We have experienced actual fifty-five below in Alaska with winds stronger. We had an Alaskan thermometer with the bottom number -55. One winter the mercury dropped into the bowl - I don't know how cold it was but it was at least lower than -55. It is all relative.

ELDERS ARE A MEMORY BANK OF THINGS SOON LOST.
I am not
going to beat a dead horse. But that said, I will make one more post on reminiscence
and the unbridgeable gender gap.
My
generation is almost gone. I am a holdout. Who remembers the death of Buddy Holly, the
Big Bopper or Richie Valens? Just me and the remanence of a lost age. The song America Pie is full of allegories of
my generation. It is a song from the past,
unrecognizable to the generations of today.
Young people
live in their time – and rightly so.
They are creating their memories.
If they are cognitive at all of the integration of the South, the assassinations
of MLK and the Kennedies, Woodstock, Vietnam, John and Yoko, the Stone’s and
Hell’s Angles, theNational Guard firing on college students… it is only via
some flash they scrolled through on their cell phones.
But these
are my memories – still alive with me. They
will be just a footnote in history when my generation is gone.
I lived this
