family once removed – aka, clearing out the photo file.

Mrs DT’s BIL was professional ballet dancer. This photo was taken in Turkey some years ago.
I understand he was quite good in his day.
That’s about all I have to say about him; I don’t speak Turkish, he doesn’t speak English.
We get along over a cold beer (Turkish beer: best left in the unopened can)

His daughter (my niece?) on the other hand speaks English quite well; had her over here one year while she was the equivalent of a high-school student and taught her the woodchuck song. She flew back to Turkey out of Dulles to begin the school year where she promptly got in trouble when her teacher insisted NYC was the US capital.

She grew up to be a fantastically beautiful woman …

US-491 formerly US-666 between Monticello UT and Dove Creek CO (“Pinto Bean Capital of the World” !!!

Darkness giving way to light, the hum of the tires on the pavement, the journey continues …

Looks flat … between the canyons and the mountains.

Some nice country out that way, beekeeper.

Remember that time when once a year, a private company would release a book to almost everybody for free that contained the name, address, and phone number for everyone that lived in a particular area … and another for every business in the region – and similar books were handed out across the entire country for every region of the country.

Local libraries often carried out of area books so that patrons could access information outside their area.
Every so often, a booth standing unattended out in public also had one of these books available.

And if that wasn’t enough, you could use your phone to ask someone about someone else’s phone number anywhere in the country. For free. Semi-anonymously – or fully anonymous with a pay phone.

That practice ended years ago. It’s not so simple finding similar information now. Want to get in touch with an old friend that you lost contact with? It’s next to impossible to even discover an email address let alone a phone number or physical address.

And even if you find such info, you have to give up a pint of blood and your first-born to access that information.

So why did I feel so much less concerned then than I do now?

That demon that killed her kids but wants out of a murder sentence. She admitted it; why is she still breathing?
The Democrats call it “late-term abortion”.

From Joe Rogan’s show:
“People are out of their f—ing mind right now. She’s out of her f—ing mind. The world is out of its f—ing mind. It’s like more of these things come up where you’re like, ‘This can’t be real. This can’t be real.’ And it is real,” he said. “More of these things where, like, people are showing up in support of a woman who killed her children. I don’t care how rough it was. The ability to kill your children is crazy.“

Mary Marslender:
“Joe Rogan is spot on. Would there be a supporter rally for a father who committed the same act? Of course not. If a man mapped how long his wife would be gone, sent her out for takeout, and then violently strangled his three children in the basement, no one would be posting ‘I am him,'” she said. “There would be no GoFundMe campaign framed as solidarity. He would be labeled a monster, and these same women in pink would be the first to condemn him. The double standard is not a surprise; it is the hypocrisy of feminism.“

“These children were not merely statistics or a talking point; they were a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and a baby. A movement that needs to be reminded of these children’s humanity clearly is not to society’s benefit.“

Don’t mess with little kids – figuratively or literally.

If that being is successful in using hormones as an excuse for cold-blooded, 1st-degree murder, then I suggest that women should not be allowed to hold positions of responsibility and that the 19th Amendment be repealed.
“I didn’t want to launch those nuclear weapons but I just didn’t know what else to do; I’m so confused“
Or in this case:
“I’m so tired of taking care of these kids – it’s just too much ….

I don’t think that will be the result … but on the other hand … 5-day deliberations on the guilt of someone who admitted to the murder of three kids?
(the jury consists of nine women and three men)

Why the trial with an admission? Take her out back and hang her from a pole. Toss her body into an unmarked hole in the ground with the rest of the trash. May her name be wiped from memory; may it appear she never existed.

“Men just aren’t the same today,” I hear every mother say
They just don’t appreciate that you get tired
They’re so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper“
Mick Jagger, 1965

Little bit harsh?
Or maybe not harsh enough given the epidemic of such or similar behaviour

OK DT. Back to trying to ignore the world. I try to not let stuff like this bother me but …
I feel sorrier for the bear that climbed a power pole and electrocuted himself before he could be rescued … or the bear that got trapped in a car and died.
