The worst part and the best part of vacation is coming home...and home for us has always been Tennessee. As much as I love going to the beach or the mountains or a theme park or wherever, I also enjoy coming home to my bed and my shower and my home...and that feeling of home starts as soon as we cross the state line and see this great, welcoming sign!

Formerly a British colony, Somaliland briefly reached its independence in 1960. It is one of the three Territories, with Puntland and former Italian Somalia that compose the current State of Somalia.
Somaliland proclaimed its independence in 1991, adopting its own currency, a fully independent government, working institutions and police. The authorities organized a referendum in 2001, advocating once again for full independence. However, to date, it is not internationally recognized.
Ethiopian Prime minister Meles Zenawi is the only one to speak about a Somalilander president, recognizing implicitly the existence of an independent State. Indeed the economy of neighboring Ethiopia dramatically depends on Somaliland stability, since the landlocked country’s main trade route passes through the Somalilander port of Berbera… And vice-versa, the economy of Somaliland largely depends on the taxes and duties it charges Ethiopia. Besides that, the principal economic activity of Somaliland is livestock exportation to the Arabian Peninsula. Most people are Sunni Muslims and speak Arabic, as well as some Somali dialect and many of them, English.Lastely, the East African demography being based on clan alliances, it is no surprise that the frontiers drawn by the colonists don’t match the ethnic divisions of territory, leading to open clashes. More broadly, this problem is recurrent across the African continent.

There was a bunch of people out side of South Coast Plaza this past Friday (& ever Friday) protesting the 'worst President ever'.
I love this guys sign and the look on his face. Keep up the good fight!
.
That's right this is the worst ever.
Maybe even worse then that ;-0-
For any inquiring minds I'll explain.
This takes place on the muscle nuns porch.
Rocky and I are enjoying some private time.
I'm sitting on a very low bench while Rocky
takes claim to my foot. Soon Yo-Yo who is
Rockys jailbait girlfriend worms her way
in under my leg and attempts to take
over all attention. Nuns and no# 1
are cracking up. Little Stubby is
close by and isn't happy.
Oh No, Little Stubby doesn't like Yo-Yo.
This porch belongs to Little Stubby !
This is Sundays trip to the temple
specifically to get medications
to Mr Blondie. All the dogs
were also cared for. Plus
the nuns were given
vegetables from
our garden.
Maybe tomorrow a run to
the m/c field will happen.
I know I've said going to the m/c field
on Wednesdays isn't my favorite day
cuz the dog clinic is closed, but
sometimes ya just got ta take
a chance & do a little dance.
If not tomorrow then Thursday ;-)-
Thank You.

WORST Model EVER! First, I lay on the ground to get an "UP" shot and he drools on me. Then he steps on my head (BTW, he has the grace of Captain Jack, yes, he staggers like a drunk) Then after 20 minutes I get about 50 shots that I HOPE at least one will be good only to have him looking over my shoulder the whole time and making grunting noise at all the pictures as they come up and shaking his head. "That's not my good side", "TOO close", "Is my BUTT really THAT big", "COME ON, I'M DROOLING!" and last but not least, "OMG I LOOK A HUNDRED AND TEN WITH ALL THOSE WRINKLES!"
So, I got on his "good" side, used a wider angle, cropped out his butt, magically removed the drool and used enough HIGH KEY to take the wrinkles out of Grandma Moses and her pet Shar-Pei! (Does anybody here really know just WHO is Grandma Moses anyway?) All just to get a shot that in NO WAY represents his REAL personality. If his nose goes any higher up he'll drown if it rains ... oh wait, that doesn't work here in the desert ... well, birds will nest on it then!

Kakistocracy - government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state. The first part of the word comes from the Greek kákisto(s), meaning "worst." So kakistocracy means "government by the worst."

This is Fili after rolling around in a pool of freshly-sprayed pig manure at the edge of a field. She loved it. I tried cleaning her up a bit in a nearby river but the drive home was still an experience.
The smell hasn't entirely gone from her dog box ... or maybe it's just the memory of that event in my nostrils.
I think not! Their songs certainly caught my full attention.
Any day is a good day if I can hear a Yellow-headed Blackbird sing.

First, the warnings: This shrub/tree is one of the worst exotic pest plants in the State of Florida. It produces a dense forest canopy that shades out all other foliage and produces such a poor habitat for native wildlife species that almost nothing other than the Brazilian Pepper itself will grow or live in Over 700,000 acres in Florida are covered by this weed.
While it is commonly known as Florida Holly, Schinus terebinthifolius is neither from Florida nor a holly. The plant was brought to the state in the early 1800's from South America to be cultivated and sold as an ornamental plant. S. terebinthifolius is a member of the Anacardiaceae family which includes poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and poisonwood. Sensitive people may develop severe dermatitis if their bare skin comes into contact with the sap or resins of S. terebinthifolius. Many people also report respiratory problems when the plant is in bloom.
In other countries S. terebinthifolius is often grown for culinary purposes. The berries, when dried, are the Pink Peppercorns in products such as McCormick Spice's "Peppercorn Milange". When crushed, the seed releases a sweet, volatile, pine-like aroma faintly smelling like piperine oil, the key component in true black pepper. The flavor of Pink Peppercorns is sweet, warm, fresh and camphorous with a lingering astringency but little heat. Bees love the plant's flowers and make honey from their nectar. Raccoons and possums eat the fruit of the plant and contribute to its spread by passing the seeds in their scat. Fruit-eating birds such as the migratory American Robin also adore the fruit and can seed wide areas by passing the seeds in their guano. It is reported that certain birds and other wildlife during certain times of the year adore the berries of this plant for their narcotic effects.
The Florida Holly or Christmasberry Tree gets these names because its fruit-laden branches are often used as Christmas decorations in Florida and the plant's small bright-red fruits mature between December and January.

#4 with quite possibly one of the ugliest P42s on the roster flies past the 849 Intermediates on NMDOT Sub. Yeah the lead locomotive sucks, but these signals are not long for the world if they haven’t fallen already.
First Essex 33078 : I hadn't been to Colchester for over 6 months, so was somewhat surprised to find that First's fleet had managed to deteriorate even further - in fact if I was First's CEO I'd be utterly ashamed of the state of this fleet. There is no excuse for a shed like this 17 year old Volvo B7TL - there are far better 25 year old Olympians running on school services with indies! The sooner First quit the UK bus business the better although finding a buyer for many of their fleets of scrap may be difficult.
15 years of driving and this was the first time I had spent more than £500 on a car
Paid £1500 for this diesel focus with only 92,000 and it has honest been a nightmare, I hadn’t owned a Ford for almost 7 years and now I remember why!
As the worst of this year's January snow finally starts to abate, a look back at similar conditions 30 years ago this month, when there was a fair old dumping of the white stuff in the Pennine foothills, making it particularly challenging around the Rossendale Valley. Commendably, after some initial disruption to services, Rossendale Transport were generally able to run a full service along most of their core routes. Volvo Olympian / Alexander 30 makes its way through Bacup Town Centre on its journey to Accrington in this lunchtime view with plenty of recent snowfall in evidence.

With some of the worst air in the country when in winter we get an inversion layer covering the valley, it's awesome to get up to Sundance Ski Resort and enjoy the warmth, sun, and snow to take us about 8200 ft (2500 m) above it all.
This was taken at Sundance at the summit of the Arrowhead Lift, at Bear Claw Lodge looking towards Utah Valley and the cities of Orem and Provo.
For some reason I decided that it would be a good idea to watch The Star Wars Holiday Special at 6:00 in the morning

And it's still the best one for him. :'D This is an old, very very used simple fiber wig which is pretty hard to work with and looks like plastic in real. :'I But it works fine on photos and I tried several high-quality wigs for him before, but Ageha wants this. OTL

One of the worst Rail Accidents to happen in the North West of England occurred on 4th December 1984 when the 1E79 10.05am Liverpool Lime Street to Scarborough express train smashed into the back of a train of fuel oil tankers at Eccles, Greater Manchester. The fuel oil train, the 6E85 09.00am service from Stanlow Oil Refinery to Leeds hauled by Class 47, 47310 was just accelerating away from a distant signal when it was struck from behind by the Scarborough express hauled by ‘Peak’ class 45, 45147. Upon impact the rear oil tanker was thrown to one side, however the next two oil tankers were thrown into the air and landed upon the class 45 loco and the first passenger carriage causing a massive explosion. Unfortunately the driver of the class 45 and one passenger were killed instantly with a further 68 passengers taken to hospital suffering from major injuries. Fortunately there were no passengers in the first carriage or the death toll would have been much higher, however one further passenger died later in hospital. The following enquiry into the accident was inconclusive as there had been a problem with signal failures in the area that day but this could not be pin pointed to the cause as the signal which had been passed at danger by the Scarborough express was in working order when it was later examined. These series of photos were taken by my father the day after the accident when the salvage operation was taking place.
Watching Donald Trump’s pandemic briefings is insufferable. The President is often argumentative and dispenses information that is superfluous and often dangerous. During his March 19 briefing, he first promoted the antimalarial drug hydroxychlorquine as a potential cure for COVID-19. By the next week, over 101,000 posts about the drug had appeared on Facebook, and by late March, there were hundreds of thousands of tweets about it per hour. Donald Trump is effective when using his bully pulpit.
There is no scientific evidence that hydroxychlorquine, a medication used by those with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, is effective against the coronavirus. In fact, scientists in Brazil cut short a trial when it showed this drug and its close relative, chloroquine, could adversely affect the heart. Hospitals in Sweden and American cardiology groups cautioned doctors these drugs could be harmful to those with existing heart problems.
Despite those warnings, in his April 4 briefing, the President was cavalier when he said, “What do you have to lose? I’ll say it again: What do you have to lose? Take it. I really think they should take it.” An Arizona man, heeding Trump’s advice, died when he ingested chloroquine phosphate, a drug that sounds like chloroquine, but is used to clean fish tanks. Lives are lost when people take the advice of someone with no medical background, including the President of the United States.
At his April 23 briefing, the President came up with another cure: injecting ourselves with disinfectants. These are effective in destroying COVID-19 on surfaces and countertops. But taken internally, they are toxic. His suggestion stunned the scientific community. Given the weight of his office, doctors and the makers of Lysol and Clorox warned the public against consuming bleach and other cleaning agents. The Maryland Emergency Management Agency received over 100 calls about this in the hours and days after Trump’s statement. Even more alarming, the New York Daily News reported the city’s Poison Control Center fielded over 30 calls the day after Trump’s comments from people who had taken Lysol, bleach, or other household cleaners.
The outcry was so great, Trump walked back his recommendations the next day: “I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen.” For the record, he offered his remedy with no prompting by reporters. But, what can one expect from a man who believes he has an innate understanding of medical science. The President has become the 21st century version of our 19th century snake oil salesman.
Mistrust of science and rational thought have always been part of the American zeitgeist. Scientific facts are often suspect, even when friends and relatives are sick and dying. Anti-intellectualism places education below the self-made man or woman. Donald Trump’s election is only the latest example of its resilience. Unquestioning followers reject any serious analysis of Trump’s temperament and beliefs, including their effects on social and scientific questions such as income inequality and climate change. Bias and emotion take precedence over inquisitive and unbiased reasoning. We often associate these positions with the under-educated and with religious groups, the historical base of the Republican Party. But they can also come from the left as with anti-vaxxers who claim vaccines cause autism.
Their interpretation of our Constitutional rights reinforce their belief that individual choice is more important than the greater good: “I don’t have to self-quarantine if I don’t want to. If you chose to, that’s up to you.” They see no connection between their actions as silent virus carriers and spreading disease to others. And they fail to see the hypocrisy between demanding their right to choose how to act during this pandemic and their objections to others’ right to choose, whether it’s to have an abortion or to marry your same-sex partner. There is no critical thinking.
Like the fervor of partisan politics, the coronavirus pandemic has once again revealed these fissures in American society. Self-interest is at odds with a communal one. To fix this, it’s important to remember Americans share a collective purpose and future. From this shared purpose, questioning our own needs with those of others can lead to discourse. But we must be curious enough to begin this process. Doing so engenders tolerance and respect for others’ beliefs. These are the seeds of the greater good.
I hate Donald Trump’s indifference and arrogance. But, he is not entirely to blame for the present state of our union. Both the Democrat and Republican Parties have ignored the poor and the working class for years. Yes, the GOP has been the most egregious of late. But if we are to survive this, all of this, together, our leaders must put their personal agendas aside for our greater good. I’d like to think this pandemic, affecting all of us whether we are rich or poor, men or women, gay or straight, young or old, or white or brown, will make us see not just our shared experiences as Americans, but as humans. But it won’t be easy to erase the differences that divide us. Our history is proof of that.
Peddling unproven cures for the coronavirus is reckless. Thinking critically might mean the difference between life and death. After three and a half years of the Trump presidency, Donald Trump’s principal motivation is clear: his self-interest. I have no hope he will change. While I’m often shocked by his behavior, I’m never surprised. I’m fighting for the greater good now. But I’m also preparing for the worst until Trump’s circus is cancelled.
