How do you know they are 60-70 year old planes?
Was there something posted online with info about them that you can share?

Sounds like fun

I recommend NOT sitting in the first couple of rows of bleachers, just in case any basketballs leave the court

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

I’ve just reached out to my Senators about Hegseth committing a war crime

Murdering combatants is horrific

Declaring we are no longer following the rules of war also endangers our service members

He needs to be removed & prosecuted

Yep
We have MANY air tankers in the Middle East right now. Entire refueling wings have been deployed.
They aren’t just for a handful of big bombers

They also use them to refuel smaller planes that can be carrier based.

Before the crash, CENTCOM had shared images/ video of a U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet being refueled by an Air Force KC-135.

If this were REALLY about secure voting, they could:

Pre-register folks at birth when SSN is issued

Have reg drives at high schools every year including free photo ID sessions for all

Make identity docs free

Of course it ISN’T about voting security, it is about creating obstacles

So Rubio or someone in the State Department decides someone is worthy of evacuation, and this guy gets the specific detail to get them

No overall plan
They help only the special people Rubio chooses

How many hours a week does Trump spend talking to media or supporters, traveling to rallies/events or MAL, posting on social media, reading printed articles about himself, golfing, and watching tv?

Impressive how much damage he’s doing in the few hours left where he isn’t asleep

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

Trump & Hegseth claim fear of Iran having a nuclear weapon led us to war

But if Iran ever used a nuke, it would have guaranteed the end of Iran

They thought Iran was capable of that level of self-destruction, but wouldn’t mine the Strait of Hormuz because it could hurt Iran long term?

I’m back with another #KnittingTipTuesday!

This week I’m sharing my favourite cast-on for joining sweater underarms. I find this more secure than the backwards loop in this spot.

Yesterday afternoon, Iranian state media published photos of what it says are missile parts from the weapon that struck the school in Minab.

The images are notable not just for the parts they show, but for how they show them.

Let me explain...

I want visitors to the USA to feel safe

And I REALLY WANT people who LIVE here to feel safe

If Congress negotiates some kind of ICE safe zone around soccer stadiums for wealthy tourists while leaving folks in other US locations vulnerable, that’s BS

Stop masked thugs nationwide

My favorite Tim Curry performance is the audiobook Sabriel by Garth Nix

He does a fabulous job with all the Abhorsen books by Nix, but I think this is the best

After that: Psych tv episode where he is Nigel St. Nigel, a judge on a tv show called American Duos
and
Clue

What are your top 3?
