But will it live that long?
My wish for the day...
Planning to work my way along the drip line on desert willows, clearing grass and checking emitters. Although a few more blowouts and we'll have to replace the line. Fortunately the plain 1/2" tube is fairly inexpensive.
Schmidt actually formed the Born in Space Club.
He is a person with no redeeming qualities.
People born in Santa Rita, including astronaut Harrison Schmidt, claim they were born in space, since the town site is now just space above the pit.
Online info says it was filmed here, and of course the scenery has changed around the mine, now 2nd or 3rd largest in the world, owned by Freeport-McMoran. Filming was around the time that the company town was moved out and the peninsula it was on mined.
Morning MJ & all! Mowing and lots of little chores Mon, including more irrigation repair Living room picnic; hot dogs and chips. Watched Salt of the Earth, 1953 movie based on a miners' strike here. Was expecting more local history and scenes but only one brief shot of the bluff over the mine.
And Don't Leave out Chump's Pedophilia !!!!!!

A little roll under your onion there!

I was at a prof. sporting event at the Navy Yard in D.C. today. Passed multiple Nat. Grd. members fully kitted out with long arms. It wasn't "normal" as we've been doing this for years. It felt dystopian. It's NOT supposed to be like this in the U.S. I was federal law enforcement. This isn't OK.
When it croaks and the regime is taken down, in a coup if necessary, all this shit should be ceremonially burned.
Not as much need for copper since the asshole cancelled $600+ million in funding for offshore wind generators. Up to 29 tons of copper. Each.
We called them Kaiser rolls. Grabbed a bag marked hard rolls at Albertsons. Totally soft. And I remember onion rolls - sort of flat with a crater full of onions in the center. Best from kosher bakery in Chicago.
From the gop, AKA hypocrisy r us.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
From Jeff Tiedrich: Noem: “I do know that LA wouldn’t be standing if today if President Trump hadn’t taken action.” oh, please, Kristi — fuck off
Still tasty, just a little more work. And flossing.
Florida tax dollars going to the enforcement of hate and discrimination. Of course, our fed dollars are being wasted the same way. So I ain't paying!
Ribs came out a little tough this time. Usually 75-90 minutes in the oven and finish on the grill and they're almost falling-off tender.
trump had zero to do with the covid vax, but in accordance with GOP policy was quick to claim credit.
Medium chest freezer (15 cf?) , side freezer in kitchen fridge, top freezer in pantry fridge. Now where did I put...

Science is real
Last I saw anyone was Monday or Tuesday, couple guys with laser transits and such.
Kick back this AM, now set up grill for ribs tonight, little mowing if no rain. Just got flash flood warning. Just general area, no immediate threat. $ General construction seems to have paused after site grading. Waiting for inspection or maybe no workers?
I'm sure it was better than our move in the middle of January. Gym Sat, picked some vegs, sprinkles on and off all afternoon, no measurable. We made 7 lbs breakfast sausage, batch of Mex beans, plus big stuffed poblanos for dinner.
Now THAT actually does trickle down.
trump administration cancels wind generator funding. This could negatively impact Grant County NM; building offshore generators requires up to 29 tons of copper. Each. www.npr.org/2025/08/31/n...
Nah, that would be a waste. How bout a really stale baguette?
Ok, what do we swat it with?
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
In the beginning... Man created god.
Calling clinic Tuesday for Rx. Albertsons supposed to get supply this week.
Chump Will Deceive You( LIE ! ) About Immigrants, but Why Hasn't ICE Arrested any Companies or Corporations that are Breaking The Laws.......The Grift continues !
BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order BANNING Chicago police from collaborating with the federal agents, because Trump is "neurotic, impulsive, and out of control." HELL YES!! 😎✨
Stay pissed, America….
if Trump had called in the National Guard during the actual Insurrection on January 6 they apparently would’ve just trimmed the hedges, raked the leaves, and picked up some rubbish.
And will arrest individuals attempting to kidnap residents.
Mayor of Chicago on TV at my gym. Saying stuff like (not necessarily verbatim): "out of control administration". "Outside the bounds of the Constitution". "Irrational and petulant behavior" Also that the CPD will be in uniform, unmasked, will not cooperate with federal operations,
🚨🚨🚨🚨 Chicago PD will not cooperate with ICE and federal agents. They will act to protect citizens of Chicago. They will not wear masks and will arrest people (ICE, etc) who assault and attempt to kidnap citizens. Mayor is signing executive orders as I type this!
Morning MJ & all! Off to gym, catch ya later!
At Mi Casita, our favorite hole in the wall in Silver. Think it's on velvet.
Looking wet here too, heavy rain possible Sun and Mon. Our cooling forecast keeps getting bumped forward. Supposedly around 80 by Sun. This time for sure? No protest events here, park occupied by Carnitas, Musica y Mas event.
T'row da bums out!
Wow.
Gag would be good.🥵
"Homeland Security officers"? Correction: "Masked armed thugs."
Yes, but we didn't ask for a demonstration.
That banner is an insult to American workers.
Correction: Workers hang a big lie... "Workers hang a large photo of US President Donald Trump on the Department of Labor headquarters on August 27, 2025. (Photo by DREW ANGERER/AFP via Getty Images)" Who else would like to see it go up in flames?
So, mum's the word? Kinda crappy night, stuffy, aches and pains, hot and cold. Wednesday a little mowing, sanding, puttering. L did a little more paint. We froze 5 more bags of shredded zuke. Made a cuke onion salad with 2 small cukes. Production slow, but have new box of organic fert.
Things may be beyond that. Time for a coup?

Dollar General store. Would rather see a local entrepreneur open a store, but there is a need for something since Tienda del Sol closed. Nearest groceries for us about 18 miles, in Bayard. At least the dispensary is home-owned. And something entertaining for today, a booby pic:
A 2/10" surprise overnight. Have to wait a bit before mowing, painting, or sanding. Canned salsa; seems like we go through it as fast as we can make it. Cats nervous and squirrelly last night; might be noise and vibration from construction about 1/10 mile away.
Really. With friends like that who needs enemas.
Not just warming. Global weirding.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
Already non compost mentis. Dumber than a compost pile.
Then the dictator must fall. "Remember your oath." (Joe Biden, farewell speech to the armed forces, January 2025.
Gracias. The buds are from the stunted plants; maybe the whole biochemistry is out of balance. Doesn't seem to have much effect. Big plants getting really close. Talked to Curtis at dispensary. I can freeze fresh buds or go directly to decarb. Apparently fresh makes better extracts.
The math is really quite simple; the companies will pay you to use their products. Right? Riiight.
Yes Chef!
I'm beginning to really resent that these lying shitbags are consuming breathable air.
Always shred and freeze 12 oz bags for breakfast bread and meatloaf.
That works.
Asshole is a crime wave all by itself.
Shitbag
Did the cat gif play? Didn't for me but did when I posted it.
Zuke fries last night!
Monday; some mowing, did belt sanding on deck, Picked a few tomatoes and pried out some that were stuck in the trellis wires. Zuke bread this morning. Gym, but waiting for a little headache to go away. Testing new C infusion.
Dip? Nah, just trump in his bunker.
From the Grammar Police Handbook. 😄
Clarifying NPR: "who was deported to a concentration camp in his home country without due process despite a judicial order barring his deportation"
My take: Incarcerating migrants provides jobs. Like puckin refublicans care about workers any more than they care about migrants? www.grantcountybeat.com/news/non-loc...
Artificial. How appropriate.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Is that a Jack Russell? AKA kaboingety dog?
You're probably SOL. Once it's dead it's no longer Game and Fish responsibility. 3 dead deer in 2 months. Paid to have 1 hauled away, someone took 1, chained 1 to truck, dragged to vacant lot. With a little luck, vultures will finish off your ratcoon in a few days.
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Please republicans, touch trump.
🤮
