Nice!
I have been following the Nordic countries’ military ads for a few years now. Simple, effective, humble, inspiring. Love ‘em!
🎯 … for adding to the home library 🤓
🌻! We have many of them blooming in your honour in our small mountain town in Western Canada.
Ah, nutz 😜
Matt posted a great video of their involvement of this exercise. Watch to the end for one of life’s regular surprises in rescue world 😉 youtu.be/ffEQSTnbvSA?...
Cormorant 908’s commander (and the wing commander as well, I believe) put together a video of their involvement. It’s long, but he provided chapters to jump around with. Even more impressive is the surprise at the end, just as they depart. Life waits for no one 🤓 youtu.be/ffEQSTnbvSA?...
I searched ‘brick hypnotist’ in BS’s GIF search bar… and got a whole bunch of examples of women succumbing to a hypnotist’s charms… ‘twas somewhat awkward, and a bit freaky!
Did not Monty Python do a skit involving a hypnotist and a brick?
Omega block.
I know it’s not very practical, but hugs from me & the cats. ‘Tears cannot soothe, nor kerchief wipe away’
Quite the blast wave from this 🇺🇦 strike.
An interesting gambit, which appears to be as much an ideological statement, as it is a practical move to avoid prosecution. But (and only a but) this could unravel in 3 years if there is flip back to a more reasonable (rule of law) US administration.
😢
A cat save - outstanding! These are true heroes 🐈
😜
Yes, sir, you are truly screwed. The cat distribution system has marked you & there is no escape. Good luck 🫡
Us & our silly first world problems. Here’s a snippet of life in UA 😔
Yikes! That visage has Jabba the Hutt vibes!
Well, that’s pretty low… But very little of what HLS is doing makes sense to a rational person. This just smacks of politics, by people scared of their own shadow.
Add this to the monster DHS budget increase this year, and what do we have here? A duck!
Ha! Took me a sec for the connection, but oh, SNAP! That’s a brilliant protest 🦩
To the stars 💫
But… but he’s a raging legend in his echo chamber!
When da monkeys be flinging feces at ya, fling it BACK!
Penned while perched on the commode, methinks 🤷♂️
Practical application of the boiling frog theory... A recent comment I read was that DJT was elected to be a reformer, and they were behind that concept 100%. It seems to be more of a bull in china shop approach... The real question for me is who benefits in the chaos that follows?
Fun fact, the Headstones have a great song titled just that. Worth driving around in the Z28 Camera T Top blasting it full volume. Maybe my second cousin will join me in her bolero jacket. She's so cute 💃
So, I think, for the majority of PC voters, these talking points are just eye (ear?) candy. They are wed to the conservative ideology, especially for many of them as 'this is how it always has been in our family'. All I think I can do is just smile & wave... 🙋♂️
More important, tho, than EV mandates, was how could they own their own home. And how could they have less government intrusion in their lives.
Most of the crew still wanted an ICE unit for extended travel, especially into remote areas; think fishing, hunting, or remote cabin. And they also were quite aware of climate change, and our impact on it. They wanted to see a better world for the future, and for their children.
The electrical sub had a Ford F-150 Lightning, and we would admire the quietness of it. What the general consensus came to is that EVs were a good thing, and for the local work & travel, made a lot of sense.
Last year on our worksite (custom home building), we had a number of discussions of ICE vs EV vehicles, especially work related needs. I would characterize the crew is moderately right of centre, and a few die hard conservatives in the mix.
The guy epitomizes 'I'm white & I'm right'...
The blunt force tactics of the art of the deal...
Ah, yes. The tactics of a school yard bully. Project 2025's shining prodigy, so glorious in his radiance. The bible is shot through with the proverb 'you reap what you sow'. Beware the Ides of March 👑
A definition of insanity can be doing “something utterly foolish or unreasonable” and repeatedly doing the same thing expecting different results certainly fits... 🤦 Maybe the essence of the art of the deal is to just do something ad nauseam until the other side capitulates 🐒
The whole admin is problematic. Just looking thru the CIA purge...🤦. DOGE. ICE antics & secrecy. This is an admin of YES people, chosen & placed strategically to assuage & stroke the fragile ego of their holy leader. At least that's what the dumpster fire looks like to me 🤷♂️
What the GP think of Mr Poilievre is irrelevant to me. What the party thinks of his leadership has my undivided attention. If the Conservatives want an effective alternate voice to the Liberals, then the mud slinging & party strong arm tactics need to go, in my opinion.
But this has already been tried!
Outstanding!
Bucha. Now this:
I have been smitten for many years with the daydream of making a mocumentary that involved interviewing people on the street who would act out each HG scene verbatim, then edit it together as a remake.
Even better in that scene is Armaments Chpt 2 Vers 9-21: 'The Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs... breakfast cereals and fruit bats'
Ah, nutz 🤦
'Right. One, two, five!' 'Three, sir! 'THREE!' youtu.be/xOrgLj9lOwk?...
And we thought photo bombs by cats & dogs during online work meetings was challenging... #horsesofbluesky youtu.be/o6BqDfYp2YQ?...
Glad the valley dodged the bullet with that exploding grass fire. No fun being downwind of it. Nice work with bringing together all the relevant info. It's asking a lot, but maybe BC Wildfire will step across to the Sky and give the eX a break. Maybe more goats? youtu.be/hNBhqGb5X6I?...
Ah, yes. The Meloni roll... we've (🇨🇦) seen that before...
Please don't forget that the man on the left (Churchill) eventually secured the security of his country. He, too, was indifferent to protocol, and wore what reflected his reality.
My dear Southern cousins. Your administration just really doesn't seem to have the plot, do they? His attire reflects the reality of his responsibility. He is indifferent to red carpets & irrelevant protocol.
Ah, nutz. Too funny 🐒
Maybe they came to Revelstoke. Our large grocery store (Save On - which many of us try to avoid) had multiple bare shelves in the early afternoon two days ago. Wiped clean by the locusts. Car jams in the parking lot. EV charging spots held hostage by ICE. Summer madness 🤦
Tru dat. The youngster looks a little, uhhh, stunned... one of those 'life stares' that has no reckoning 😉
👫
They firmly believe they are god’s anointed vessel to bring truth & peace upon our earth. And like the flat earth cadre, nothing short of god whispering in their ear will change that mission. A dumpster fire cook off that has never burned so bright 🤦♂️
The original article is behind a paywall/accountwall, so you can hunt around for other versions if need be...
Also in the article: 'Carney's office declined to comment.' Methinks someone is stirring up the citizens, creating division & anxiety. It's right up there with Rep threats regarding our wildfire management practices. Another day of our Southern cousin's tantrums...
The article also mentions the CanGov review released in June that ID a 45% cost increase, and potential pilot shortage for the current planned program. Also mentioned was Spain's plan to review other options & forego their planned F35 purchase.
Hmmmm... The argument is that switching suppliers will incur more costs for new training & support, as well as weaken US/CDN relations. Yet the article doesn't directly quote either official statements, nor the report itself. Purposeful misinformation? Slow news day chunder? 🤷♂️
Timeline cleanse 💃
Ah, the A Frame hug. I guess full contact was just...
🐈🥰
Mince no words, waste no time. I'm kinda curious as to what the Liberals Grand Daddy (Chrétien) has to say? Maybe not fit for print 💃 #cdnpoli
MAGA eating it's young? Another signs of fascist aspirations, methinks...🤦♂️
Kinda looks to me that he is just a sad clown, dancing for the IG hits.
Figuring out who ‘wins’ needs at least to let the case get to discovery stage, and/or some intense negotiations between parties at the local lobster joint. Thinking one has already won a case, and especially stating that the outcome will change case history, is school boy bluster.
‘fighting back sets a precedent that this will never happen again’ 🤷♂️ Either he doesn’t understand how our (unfortunately adversarial) judicial system works, or the lawyers are blowing some mighty smoke up his arse while taking his $$.
Such a hard call, I think, as to when to make room in our hearts for the next four legged whirlwind...
Beach time on the shores of the Beaufort & Chukchi. Nutz...
Hmmm… it kinda looks more like the young lady has made chicken soup for her friend, who may be a bit under the weather? How could a kitty not perk up from care from her buddy - enough to put some purr in her paw step 🐈
Oh, wow. I didn’t know about JAM & Tommy’s uhh… (ahem) BC connection. And to think this was long before the Bud was a thing 🤓
I’m curious if our electrical exports (I think we send some South on occasion) are in the tariff cess pool. Maybe we now have surplus from site C, as the Southern cousin looks inwards to make sparks?
It’s the withering sideways look from the feline down low that sends this pic to the stratosphere. Oh, to be a wallflower & have seen what was going on OFF screen 😉
🙋♂️
From boom to bust. My guess is that the air mass aloft is much warmer & drier than earlier today, and the cloud simply went back to being a gas. Upside down virga?

Wowzers! A ding dong with googly eyes 👀 And four days explaining to grownups that technically, it is a character 😜 This shit can't get any better 😎
#caturday full of confidence 😉 #catsofbluesky
Ummm... not sure if I would characterize their expression as horror. It looks more like 'just who do you think you are, stepping on our turf?' Claws at the ready 🐈
daFUQ 🤷♂️

For me, proportional representation in elections can't come fast enough, tho AB may be one of the last provinces to ever adopt that system, should the UCP keep the reigns for the foreseeable future. The challenge is that those we need to support it the most, fear it the most...🤨
CBC2 had a story this AM that police in AB are warning candidates to keep it in their lane. Supposedly some very aggressive & threatening comments have been noted on some candidate's social media posts. #canpoli
Oh, the madness is ramping up 😜 I first read the 100+ number in a satire piece yesterday & dismissed it 'cause, well, satire. How wrong I was 🤦 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Mr Poilievre knows his game; say anything for the attention. A lesson well learned from the current masters of tantrum tempests down South. I am very interested to see & hear his rhetoric as the by-election heats up. He either wins, or he is back to selling insurance...
Boomers. Best observed from afar 😎
I dunno... that's a priceless photobomb, and for me, makes the picture that much more interesting.
There's a double rainbow in there. I wonder what the precip amt was. Looks to be hi RH conditions, so I would expect any starts to be slow to pick up steam. Hot & humid here in the valley bottom. Strong PM winds (like a cold front) with moderate buildup. Clearing off now.
It's not only the shuttering of the R&D dept, but what happens regarding access to their work & historical records? Moving forward, what could replace their contributions technical expertise?
In the early mornings, he would take a ruler to measure the man made snow that drifted onto the main lodge deck. A 'trace of snow overnight' was a pretty consistent weather report 🤦♂️
Well... if they are even remotely congruent with actual weather conditions, then the gig would be up! One resort I worked at decades ago had an ops mgr who was notorious for taking liberties with weather observations.
Outstanding. There are a number of automated cams I use for weather checks, and often they are either pointed at the ground, or have a blank background, ie no horizon. Being able to access weather obs with representative terrain helps build a working picture of what's up. Thanks!
