Border Patrol rescued the two little girls

 The two little girls that coyotes dropped over the 14 foot high border fence onto a stony desert.  I like little girls and I hate seeing them hurt.  The Border Patrol picked the girls up from the desert and brought them to a shelter.  For News showed a heart warming picture of the two of them, uninjured and OK after their ordeal which could very easily have broken their limbs. 

Too bad Capitol police shot today's attacker dead

 I would have liked to question him.  I understand he didn't have a gun, just a knife.  You would think trained police officers could get the knife away from him and cuff him, alive.  Well maybe not, he killed one officer which shows he was very dangerous.  Some questions: Like what organizations do you really belong too?  Do you expect us to believe you did this all by your lonesome? Who put you up to it?  How crazy are you, really?  What drugs were you using today?  Anyhow that is water under the bridge now.  Too bad.  

MLB moves big game because they don't like new Georgia election law

 Big Game will be played elsewhere, just because of new Georgia election law, or at least that's what they are saying.  Gotta wonder about that.  I would have thought the mission of MLB was to make money for owners and players. Which means appealing to fans to go to the game and buy tickets.  I don't think baseball fans are all that interested in the new Georgia election law.  It doesn't seem to bear upon professional baseball.   I hear Biden is rooting for the change of venue.  Since when is the US president concerned about where a baseball game is played?  Surely there are a bunch of things the president ought to be doing before he starts refereeing major league baseball.   

   This seems to be part of the "the-feds-will-take-care-of-everything" fad that has popped up really strong since Democrats gained control of the federal government, lock, stock, and barrel. 

Masks, need for

 Now that I have had my vaccination, both shots, I probaby don't need to wear a mask.  If you believe the TV, the vaccination is 92% effective, which means I have real good odds of not catching the corona virus.  And also if you believe the TV, once vaccinated you cannot infect others by sneezing.  

   But, everyone up here is still wearing masks in public. All the stores have signs requiring mask wearing.  I think my wearing a mask makes everyone else, sales clerks, waiters, barbers, mechanics, everyone, feel better about things.  So I wear a mask.  Just to reassure people. 

AOC is bloviating on Fox this morning

 She thinks calling the southern border catastrophe a "surge" or an "invasion" is beyond the pale. Racist she called it.  This is important?  Well maybe it matters to Democrats since it doesn't seem to matter to us regular Americans. 

Will a high lunar tide float the Ever Given??

Huge container ship that ran aground in the Suez canal, blocking traffic in both directions since Tuesday.  Rots a Ruck.  Tide in the Mediterranean is wimpy wimpy.  Around here (New England) we get a nine foot lunar tide.  The Egyptians report expecting a 1.5 foot lunar tide in the canal tonight.  Eyeballing the pictures of one huge container ship, I don't think 1.5 foot tide is going to get her off.  Maybe if they have every tug boat for 500 miles around tugging on her ???  Rots a Ruck.

"Infrastructure" spending and new taxes

 The Democrats want to spend another $3 Trillion on "infrastructure".  Used to be "infrastructure" was concrete things like Interstate Highways, dams, bridges, levees, stuff you could see and touch and was anchored in concrete, not liable to moving to another state.  Apparently this "infrastruction" bill has serious money for a bunch of stuff that is not really "infrastructure".  And to pay for this extravagance the Democrats were proposing new taxes on cars and mileage.  The Democrat advocating the new taxes said that the traditional federal gas tax was obsolete.  Presumably he believed that battery cars were running on the public roads tax free because they don't use gasoline.  That's a stretch, actually fake news.  Most of the cars on the road today still run on gasoline or diesel.  In all my days I have only seen (and ridden in) just ONE battery car.  It was owned by an old high school classmate, something of a gadget freak, named David Biddle.  Biddle's idea of an afternoon's entertainment was to take his battery car down to the local mall, where they had a free 440 volt charging station.  While the car sucked up juice we walked around the mall and spent money.  

   So, I don't believe we need to replace the gas tax just to nail the very very few battery cars on the road.
