Season 3 is officially wrapped!!!!
I’m going to take a few weeks off. Kona, here I come.
@EddieInCA:
Enjoy, Eddie. Put one in the air for me. If not, in lieu of that, take a sip for me. I don’t drink much but it’s the thought that counts.
@EddieInCA:
Congratulations!

Just a reminder that Van Ranst, cited above, is still living in a safe house under police protection because of right wing extremists.

Today is the Summer Solstice. This is my High Holy Day. I am a Sun Worshiper.
Sagan’s THE DEMON-HAUNTED WORLD: Science as a Candle in the Dark is my Holy Book. The footnote on page 18 is the enabling scripture.
This song is my Anthem.
@Mister Bluster: Happy Solstice!
Happy Father’s Day dad.

QAnoners are perturbed that Trump will be doing a speaking tour with Bill O’Reilly this coming December, because it suggests he won’t have been reinstated to the presidency by then:

By the way, what’s become of Q? He hasn’t been heard from since December 2020.
@Mister Bluster:
Happy Father’s Day to everyone who visits and contributes here!
Congrats, EddieInCA!
@Mister Bluster: Indeed, happy solstice even though, as you say the sunshine is orangish; around here from the smoke drifting east from the Pack Creek fire near Moab. I feel reassured because even if we’re not around there will be solstices for a few more billion years.
@Mr. Prosser:..sunshine is orangish; around here from the smoke drifting east from the Pack Creek fire near Moab.
Sorry about the fire. As you may know but for those that don’t the Orange Sunshine that I was thinking of was a hit of LSD that provided me with several facinating experiences in my drug days 50 years ago.
@CSK:
All indications are he’ll be back for season 2 of Picard.
@Kathy:
Which one is Q?
@Mister Bluster: Oh myyy.
