and even more humor today, I do wonder why You would do that with (to) a cat?
Hi
I did some walking for an hour, The temperature this morning was 77 on the news channel and 75 degrees on the front porch. By the time I got back home from dropping off the car for its every two year inspection the temperature was 84 in the shade.
I'm back home after dropping off the car, the walk back was only semi comfortable due to temperature and a high humidity.
A story about the NYC subway system from Los Angeles, California.
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ny-subway-20170701-story.html
“Die Kitties Die!” screamed the headline in the New York Daily News when, in 2013, former Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief Joe Lhota criticized a decision to pause trains in a Brooklyn subway station to rescue a pair of kittens lost on the tracks.
These days, New York so badly needs to get the trains to run on time that Lhota, whose unfortunate anti-cat comments caused a minor scandal, has been brought back as chairman of the transit agency.
Extreme measures are in order to fix the 112-year-old subway system, and nothing — not budget cuts, political infighting, or cats — can stand in the way.
Delays have doubled over the last five years, and accidents are on the rise. A subway derailed last week, crashing into a wall and igniting a trash fire after hitting equipment left on a track near 125th Street in Harlem. Nobody was seriously injured, but hundreds of terrified passengers had to evacuate through a smoky underground passage lighted only by their cellphones.
On the heels of the derailment, Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week signed an executive order declaring a “state of emergency” on the subways, making official what many New Yorkers in their gut already know. The governor also allocated an additional $1 billion for improvements.
Few think it will make much impact for the largest subway system in the United States, with 665 miles of track and 472 stations.
Snipped
To be sure, the system isn’t as bad as it was in the 1980s, when cars were covered with graffiti and riders had to look over their shoulders for fear of being mugged.
Today the subways are in some ways victims of their own success. The city’s economy is booming and so is public transit ridership. Nearly 6 million people a day use the subway, up from 4 million in the 1990s, and they are packed into a system that has barely grown at all.
Snipped
“The system opened in 1904. It was designed in the 19th century. For the most part, it is still running on concepts that were developed by folks in the late 1800s, and that’s problematic in this, the 21st century,’’ Lhota said at the conference.
Have a Great Wednesday

Hi JanGood morning!
I noticed you logged in 800 DAYS!! (on Tues!) Congratulations and great job!!
Yes, your news story is interesting, and yes it is very weird they think the earth if flat. I am sure there are multitudes of things the gov. has not told us, and I do not believe everything I am told, by scientists or anyone else, but really? I think lots of people would have dropped off the face of the earth by now, if we were flat. I think my telescope is no hoax when I am looking at the eclipses. Nor do I think the whole space program is bunk. They are some very strange people with issues to need to believe that. I would not broadcast my name either...
Thanks for noticing
It was strange to me, How can anybody believe it, OTOH there are so many people that believe in what I think of as weird conspiracy theories, That what is one more group?
I suspect that people see and hear the message and rolls off them like water on duckThe shelter is totally believable. My animals are and always have been raised with the amount of care I gave my children. So the 4th of July is not much different here. But for about 4 days before the 4th of July the humane and rescue groups blasted FB and the TV about pets being frightened by fireworks and tips to keep them safe. (Really, how hard is it??) And the next day are tons of FB messages and pictures...my dog ran off, my dog got lose, and I think, really? Mine were in the living room with me, and we had no problem... People are dumb...but the numbers are staggering,in that article. People....
That sounds like a good way to Microwave, I just put things on a plate with a Paper towel under and over If I think they will splatter.I had just put the chinese buns in the microwave plate I use for my bacon, because it has some ridges and the buns do not get too soggy. Then I sprinkle some water, probably around a teaspoon or two or so over the buns and heat up. I cover them with my microwave lid which I use to prevent splatter. It had holes in it for aeration, so it works well. All from Amazon, except the buns. I may get the scallion ones next time!
But I need to lose first!!
That is nice to bake bread for your mechanics! I know they appreciate it!!
I am trying to up my exercise. We will see! Headed for humor!! Have a great day!! ...Jan
The Sweet Potato bread is dropped off along with a 1/8 pound stick of butter that is a size they sell around here as well as Quarter Pound sticks and one pound Bricks, Whipped Cream Cheese and a container of ICBINB. All courtesy of my brother. They came out a little dense and we had to bake them twice as the baking went weird somehow
OTOH very Tasty, The slices taste IMO just like a Sweet Potato Pie. I would think they would be delicious with Ice Cream, Cool Whip for those that use it, I would of course use real Whipped Cream if I did it. The Calorie Count as indicated on the can for RediWhip as an example is fairly low.
For example:
Extra Creamy
Reddi-wip Extra Creamy offers even more of the whipped dairy cream you love—full, rich cream taste to top off your favorite sweet treats. Now that's something to be joyful about.

Good morning!!
I must say, your thermometer is usually pretty dead on with the weatherman- or is it the other way around, lol! Our guys are usually dead on most of the time too. It is a bit tricky with the thunderstorms to predict the heat. Humidity is up and the mosquitos are just terrible. I get bit during the day if i am out at all, and they follow Chester in the house like he is the pied piper. It is just yucky!
The humor was good , I just really loved the cat ones! Some of those poor cats look like they need to be on a diet, too! I may be on the way to having my Sunday small group eating too much, solved. We are trying to just get people to bring a sandwich, or whatever they would like, just brown bag it. Hopefully that will get instituted! Better calorie control for me!!
Isn't it odd people need jobs, we need infrastructure upgraded, but we seem to only be able to spend money for rich folks continuing to make money. Sweet potato bread sounds awfully good with any goody on top! Breyers has out some no added sugar ice cream that is really good, I think. At least it is better for you, I guess!
Val, I hate companies are run that way, it seems most American companies are. I was hoping there was a change sweeping over business communities, but it seems it may not have taken. Bummer! I hope they continue to value what you do and your input! hang in there! Back to mini rest sessions- don't forget!!
Everyone have a productive healthy day!!! ...Jan..

Hi All. I posted some more humor except for the last picture which is just wrong in so many ways
Hi
I did some walking for an hour+ and 1 cent , The temperature this morning was 79 on the news channel and 77 degrees on the front porch. The humidity is very high, They were forecasting the humidity to be tropical for today, Tomorrow should be cooler.
The car inspection, Oil Change and work on the Windshield wipers came to $175, Now I am good for the next two years for the inspection.
Found this elsewhere and thought it worth sharing.
Good thoughts to ponder
If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous Erudite (comic) scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates."
His mind sees things differently than most of us do. . . here are some of his gems:
1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.
3 - Half the people you know are below average.
4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.
9 - All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.
10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, ...... But she left me before we met.
12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?
13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18 - Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.
19 - I intend to live forever... So far, so good.
20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name.
25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
30 - The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
32 - The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.
33 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.
34 - If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
And the all-time favorite -
35 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
A 37-year-old store clerk in Chicago got the second chance of a lifetime when an armed robber entered his south side store, pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger.
The Chicago Tribune reports that at about 3:50 p.m on July 5, 2017, an armed suspect walked into the store on the 8400 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue in an attempted robbery. The suspect pointed his gun at the store clerk, but when he pulled the trigger, his gun jammed.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-police-armed-robbery-thwarted-by-victims-who-hold-suspect-for-police-20170705-story.html
A friend of the clerk’s spoke to reporters after the incident, saying his friend was “seconds away from a different outcome.”
“The guy didn’t come in there to rob him, he came in to kill him and then rob him. He pointed the gun and pulled the trigger and it jammed. The clerk snatched the gun from him.”
The clerk and a co-worker were able to subdue the suspect and secure the firearm until police arrived on scene.
The clerk was treated at Advocate Trinity Hospital for cuts and bruises. Police say he was taken there in fair condition.
Charges are pending against the 20-year-old suspect.
Have a Great Thursday
Roger

Hi Jan
I hate the Mosquito. The whining buzz in the ear, the multiple days of itching where they get You before You can notice and can sway them and the gnats that seem to like to fly into Your eye when they are not just swarming around Your head.
Hopefully they do implement the brown bagging, It could be a good solution to the Two steps forward and one backwards weekend
I find that I like the Mount Olive No Sugar Added Sweet Relish and for snacking the Vlasic No Sugar Added Bread and Butter Spears. Both with 0 (Zero) calories per serving which in reality means anything per serving up to 5 calories per serving can be listed as Zero calories under Federal Guidelines.
Congratulations on Your Achievements

Good morning!
I fell asleep about 8 pm, so I am going to be up most of the nite. It is a throwback to night shift, and I only feel asleep for like 10 minutes. If I was this wide awake during the day, I would get more done!
I love the points made by Steven Wright. Some are pretty profound!!Some are just funny! Simple logic is sometimes baffling! The humor was good also! That store clerk must be the luckiest person ever. How scary!
Glad you got your car back. It just dawned on me we do not have car inspections here. I guess I should be happy they demand licenses.
Good job walking even if it was humid. I am trying hard to move a little more!! Not my first inclination, lol!
Thanks for noticing my loss and moving, I am trying hard!!
Val, those noodles are interesting, you are right!! Great fiber and really great protein. I will be interested in how they taste!!
Take care with the heat and humidity. It can be yucky out there!! Jan

How Bad is Crime in Chicago? Police Search for 6-Year-Old Armed Robbery Suspect
Posted at 2:25 pm on July 12, 2017 by Jenn Jacques
If you thought Chicago’s gun problem couldn’t possibly get any more insane, you’re not going to believe this story.
On Saturday, July 8, 2017, Chicago Police issued an incredulous community alert from detectives warning Near South Side residents of an unlikely robbery crew of suspects that includes “a 6- to 8-year-old boy” armed with a silver handgun.
The suspects committed at least 11 armed robberies in June in which they traveled in groups of 3-9 armed robbers and approached victims; either demanding valuables or taking property by force before fleeing the scene.
Gorka Tells CNN Anchor: Russia Coverage Explains Why Cartoons Now Beat You in Ratings
Last week Matt reported that CNN is in a ratings battle with Nick-at-Nite - and losing. Seriously. A recent study showed that CNN had plummeted to No. 13 in the 8-11 p.m. time slot.
Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Trump, was happy to come on CNN and share that information with anchor Alisyn Camerota on Wednesday.
White House Advisor @SebGorka: Nickelodeon’s Nick at Night gets more evening views than CNN. https://t.co/xHbtxumPCf
— NTK Network (@NTKNet) July 11, 2017
A big reason that viewers are abandoning the network, studies suggest, is that CNN has been obsessed with all things Russia. Heck, the network mentioned Russia almost 16,000 times in their coverage since the inauguration.
“The amount of time you spend in desperation on a topic that has plummeted you to 13th place in viewership ranking across America,” Gorka told Camerota. “I mean more people watch Nick-at-Nite cartoons than CNN today.”
"Our ratings are just fine," Camerota pushed back, arguing that her network has polling to suggest Americans are very interested in the Russia story.
Again, Gorka pointed out the stats - CNN was in the 13th spot, and Nick-at-Nite was at No. 11.
CNN had a terrible week last week. First, producers and anchors were exposed by Project Veritas for intentionally reporting on Russian collusion despite it being "mostly bulls***" and a "nothing burger," while also calling American "stupid as s***" and calling Trump a "f***ing crazy clown." Then, the network also threatened to expose the Reddit user who created the now infamous gif of President Trump body slamming the network.
Have a Great Thursday

Good morning!
Well, it will be a short day as I slept till almost 11 am. I did not mean to do that! But I went to sleep around 3 am, so... On the bright side, I have fed the birds, watered the plants, fed the dogs, and a hummingbird I said I was not going to do. But bless his heart, I see him at 4 pm, and I felt so sorry I took out my hummingbird feeder and made some solution and out it hangs. I guess I can cut down on something else.
I am not surprised by the Chicago article. All gangs. When there are no parents that do right, those older hoods will fill the gap and get those young kids going. That is both sad and scary. You would think they would have planned a little better for the future of Chicago. But then, it has always been crime central. Montgomery could have gone that way, but there is a really active bunch that brought revitalization to the downtown, and try hard to get to problem areas and try to help the parents and kids break that cycle. But it is hard. Ignorance and laziness are the hardest things to fight. The police and churches and mayor, ect.do work together here.
Thanks for noticing the "work". I am trying to get in more exercise. I did not see your login this morning though sometimes it is just funny how it does!

One of my bigger dogs apparently repeatedly bit my chihuahua yesterday but I didn't know. He's traumatized and won't leave his crate unless i carry him snd escort him to the yard.

I started boiling water to cook the pasta, but I'm so over stressed I turned the burner off because I couldn't deal with it.1

And still more humor today, enjoy
Hi
I did some walking , The temperature this morning was 67 on the news channel and 70 degrees on the front porch. The humidity is still high, What they are calling tropical for today for tomorrow, It should be warmer and the humidity will be dropping.
We had off and on rain mostly on for most of Friday. It was raining when I got up and the last of it disappeared by 6:45PM. When I went out the door this morning the streets were still semi wet and I found that there was a light misting happening. The Thunderstorms and severe weather was south of Us, Most likely Irene had worse weather.
I was out the door at CostCo nice a quick, $108 lighter in the wallet however.
I picked up 2 bags of Frozen Normandy Mix and 1 Green Beans, a refrigerated package of Pot Roast to use as a PF. The hot cooked rotisserie 3 pound chicken that scales 4 pounds 5+ ounces in the package. 5 Pounds of Clementines, Gala Apples, White Nectarines and a 10 pack of $4 off Kleenex and a Protein Shake. Sadly they only had Vanilla today and I was looking for a Chocolate and a Vanilla Case of each.
Have a Great Weekend

You are lucky that things went right, they are having a problem in many areas with gangs, Especially MS13 from what I can see in the news. Unfortunately Painfield NJ is not that far away form here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-13
MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha; also known as simply MS or Mara) is an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, US in the 1980s. The gang later spread to many parts of the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America, and is active in urban and suburban areas. Most members are ethnically of Central American origin (principally El Salvador).
In the U.S., the MS-13 has an especially heavy presence in Los Angeles County and the San Francisco Bay Area in California; the Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas of Fairfax County, Virginia, Montgomery County, Maryland, and Prince George's County, Maryland; Queens, New York; Long Island, New York; Newark, New Jersey, Plainfield, New Jersey; Jersey City, New Jersey; Elizabeth, New Jersey; the Boston, Massachusetts area; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Houston, Texas. There is also a presence of MS-13 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Members of MS are characterised by tattoos covering the body and also often the face, and by the use of their own sign language. They are notorious for their use of violence and a subcultural moral code that predominantly consists of merciless revenge and cruel retributions. This cruelty of the distinguished members of the "Maras" or "Mareros" earned them a path to be recruited by the Sinaloa Cartel battling against Los Zetas in an ongoing drug war in Mexico.[5][6][7] Their wide-ranging activities have drawn the attention of the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who have initiated wide-scale raids against known and suspected gang members, arresting hundreds across the country.Thanks for noticing the "work". I am trying to get in more exercise. I did not see your login this morning though sometimes it is just funny how it does!

Hi. I cooked that special pasta. Texture is good. Taste is different. I prefer regular pasta.1

Hi Val
Thank You for the feedback, The texture being good is a plus that is more than offset by taste, the most important aspect for food. Oh Well, back to the drawing board I guess.
Have a Nice Day
Roger2 -
Good morning,
Bummer on the pasta, though that still has a lot of protein. It is hard to replace real pasta. For the same amount of calories, too, it is hard to turn down!
That is just frightening on the gangs. I do remember that particular gang due to the violence. We have them here too, but mostly local, I think. We do have drugs coming thru here often I think, so they tend to show up. Nowhere near the problems of other places though. I did learn, which I have seen, and did not know, that shoes hung over some power lines here are a marking for gang territory. Who knew?
You were on a real power burst of energy shopping, Roger, for having slept badly. That was pretty awesome! I hope you sleep better soon. I swear by my melatonin, though you do not like to take stuff. The tablets give to me no draggy feeling, and if you take it about an hour before you want to sleep, do well, IMO. The 1 mg. are good, though I usually take 1 and 1/2 tablet, which does better for me. That is a really small dose and naturally occurring in the body. We just make less as we age...
Have a great week-end! ..Jan 1 -

I am so sorry that happened. I know how badly you feel. Maybe the other dogs finally leaving changed those dynamics for some reason? I am glad your little one is okay, at least physically. It is good you are at home so you can watch. It is hard to catch when they change behavior so quickly. Just be looking for those looks they give and your little one moving away when you do not notice. Them and their power send-outs. I had a lot of luck with the drop it command, more than any other correction. Strange... I'm sure they will get it right! You may need biofeedback for work- sounds like they won't change!!
Hang in there!! .. Jan 1 -
And even more humor today
Hi
I did some walking , The temperature this morning was 68 on the news channel and 68 degrees on the front porch. The humidity is much better, the THI AKA Feels Like is the same as the the real temperature.

How to treat acid burns, and what to do if you are involved in or witness an acid attack – all you need to know
Following the worrying rise in acid attacks, here's the important information you need to know

THE alarming spike in acid attacks on the streets of Britain is a terrifying threat with the potential for catastrophic and life-changing injuries.
Last night two teenagers were arrested after two suspects riding a moped carried out five horrific attacks in Stoke Newington, Hackney and Islington, police said.
How SHOULD you treat acid burns?
The most important thing you can do in the event of an acid attack is to douse the victim in running water, rather than a wet cloth.
The water dilutes the acid, and so it's important to keep refreshing with new, clean water, as quickly as possible.
The most important thing you can do in the event of an acid attack is douse the victim's wounds in fresh, running water for as long as possible

I started boiling water to cook the pasta, but I'm so over stressed I turned the burner off because I couldn't deal with it.
Hi Val
I missed this yesterday, sorry
That is s shame, I am guessing it is something new that has not happened before. I wonder why.
I can understand why work and the cooking could be tough.
I wonder if the interrupted cooking affected the taste?
Good Luck with Your Dogs

Good morning,
Bummer on the pasta, though that still has a lot of protein. It is hard to replace real pasta. For the same amount of calories, too, it is hard to turn down!
That is just frightening on the gangs. I do remember that particular gang due to the violence. We have them here too, but mostly local, I think. We do have drugs coming thru here often I think, so they tend to show up. Nowhere near the problems of other places though. I did learn, which I have seen, and did not know, that shoes hung over some power lines here are a marking for gang territory. Who knew?
You were on a real power burst of energy shopping, Roger, for having slept badly. That was pretty awesome! I hope you sleep better soon. I swear by my melatonin, though you do not like to take stuff. The tablets give to me no draggy feeling, and if you take it about an hour before you want to sleep, do well, IMO. The 1 mg. are good, though I usually take 1 and 1/2 tablet, which does better for me. That is a really small dose and naturally occurring in the body. We just make less as we age...
Have a great week-end! ..Jan
Hi Jan
Pasta, is it worth it for the calories? Pasta is one of those trigger foods for me
I had not heard that about the shoes before, Thanks for the heads up.
Not so much a burst of energy as it needed to be done thing. It is not so much a problem falling asleep as staying asleep when nature calls...
Have a Good Day
Roger

Hello!
Really awful on the acid attacks. I just can not believe people. They never did say anything about the laws. I do not know how they could be lax.
Thanks for noticing the work on the diet. Today is always kind of a bad day, being Sunday. I did not stay for lunch, that makes it too hard, especially with Sunday group. I had to already count Caramel Cake, as if that is not "bad' enough!
I did see your log in today and your walk! That always puts me on track! Good job! I have a habit of drinking most of my water after about 4 pm, no matter how hard I try, so I understand about getting up in the nite. For some reason, I was up most of last night. Just awake for some reason. i know I fell asleep after 4:30, and was sleeping good as the alarm went off at 7 am..drats, lol! .
Going to go for the humor, thanks for posting!! It seems that kind of day!! ..Take care! Jan

Hi. The cooking of the padta had not been interrupted...I started heating water, then turned the water off. The pasta was safe in the box. Good news, i added that cooked pasta into my homemade veggie soup...and it's great in there. Cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, onion, corn, garlic, mushrooms, and zucchini. Turned out very yummy...and zero guilt.1

She went in for a simple cataract surgery. Doctors found 27 contact lenses in her eye

In a bizarre medical case, a British woman somehow had more than two dozen contact lenses in one eye but didn’t realize it.
The case, which was published July 5 in the British Medical Journal, has made international headlines after the ophthalmologist responsible for extracting the stack of contacts spoke to the media recently.
According to the BMJ, the case itself occurred back in November, when a 67-year-old woman went to the doctor for a “routine” eye surgery, Rupal Morjaria wrote.
When the surgery began, however, Morjaria and her fellow doctors extracted a “blue mass” of 17 contacts, all stuck together, according to Optometry Today. Later, the doctors found another chunk of 10 contacts, bringing the total to 27 contacts in one eye.
“None of us have ever seen this before,” Morjaria told OT.
“It was such a large mass. All the 17 contact lenses were stuck together. We were really surprised that the patient didn’t notice it because it would cause quite a lot of irritation while it was sitting there.”
According to OT, the patient had been wearing monthly disposable contacts for 35 years but did not regularly go to the eye doctor and had no idea that many contacts were in her eye. Morjaria said the patient had credited her discomfort to old age and dry eyes.
“She was quite shocked,” Morjaria said. “When she was seen two weeks after I removed the lenses she said her eyes felt a lot more comfortable.”
It is unclear how long the woman had been living with the contacts in her eye. According to Piedmont Healthcare, the FDA recommends that even long-term wear contacts be removed overnight at least once per week to be cleaned and to allow the eye to take in oxygen. Wearing contacts too long can cause corneal damage.

Research Team Slams Global Warming Data In New Report: "Not Reality... Totally Inconsistent With Credible Temperature Data"
by Tyler Durden
Jul 15, 2017 9:00 PM
As world leaders, namely in the European Union, attack President Trump for pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement which would have saddled Americans with billions upon billions of dollars in debt and economic losses, a new bombshell report that analyzed Global Average Surface Temperature (GAST) data produced by NASA, the NOAA and HADLEY proves the President was right on target with his refusal to be a part of the new initiative.
According to the report, which has been peer reviewed by administrators, scientists and researchers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), and several of America’s leading universities, the data is completely bunk:
In this research report, the most important surface data adjustment issues are identified and past changes in the previously reported historical data are quantified. It was found that each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history. And, it was nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern. This was true for all three entities providing GAST data measurement, NOAA, NASA and Hadley CRU.
As a result, this research sought to validate the current estimates of GAST using the best available relevant data. This included the best documented and understood data sets from the U.S. and elsewhere as well as global data from satellites that provide far more extensive global coverage and are not contaminated by bad siting and urbanization impacts. Satellite data integrity also benefits from having cross checks with Balloon data.
The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data. Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever –despite current claims of record setting warming.
Finally, since GAST data set validity is a necessary condition for EPA’s GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding, it too is invalidated by these research findings. (Full Abstract Report)
Of course, this won’t stop global climate normalcy deniers from saying it’s all one big conspiracy to destroy the earth. They’ll naturally argue that data adjustments to the temperatures need to be made for a variety of reasons, which is something the report doesn’t dispute. What it does show, however, is that these “adjustments” always prove to be to the upside. Always warmer, never cooler:
While the notion that some “adjustments” to historical data might need to be made is not challenged, logically it would be expected that such historical temperature data adjustments would sometimes raise these temperatures, and sometimes lower them. This situation would mean that the impact of such adjustments on the temperature trend line slope is uncertain. However, each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history.
In short: The evidence has been falsified.
Karl Denninger sums it up succinctly:
It is therefore quite-clear that the data has been intentionally tampered with.
Since this has formed the basis for plans to steal literal trillions of dollars and has already resulted in the forced extraction of hundreds of billions in aggregate for motorists and industry this quite-clearly constitutes the largest economic fraud ever perpetrated in the world.
I call for the indictment and prosecution of every person and organization involved, asset-stripping all of them to their literal underwear.
The real data looks something like this:
global-warming-data1
(Via ZeroHedge.com)
And the establishment, along with their fanatical global warming myrmidons, continue to push the need for massive, costly initiatives to reduce green house gases and global temperatures to “normal” levels.
The problem, of course, is that there is no global warming according to the above referenced report.
Moreover, none of those supporting the Paris Climate Agreement and other initiatives have any idea what these behemoth regulations will actually do to curb climate change, as evidenced by the following video of Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, who despite his best efforts, can’t seem to figure out exactly how these agreements actually lower temperatures and help Americans:

Can You figure out which side of the Global Warming pronouncements I fall on ?
I get more of my liquid in the morning. That includes the 30 ounce cup of coffee, That coffee is actually weakened as I have to put a couple of inches of Ice in the cup first to cool off the coffee enough so ic an drink it while walking. That is a year around thing since I started using the "Yeti" brand cup for my refills at 7-Eleven, $1.38 tax included and Quick Chek $1.49 tax included. A significant reduction in the price of when using their new cups FWIW.
That Dratted Alarm clock is something I have shut off as I figure that if I sleep late I must have needed it Now That I am not working I refuse to let it rule me, I rule it
Enjoy today's humor. If You believe in warming, ignore that part of the Informational post FWIW.
Congratulations on doing even better

Hi Val
I misunderstood the Pasta part
That is good news that You will using it up. I suspect it picked up lots of flavors from the soup.
That is the reason they say You should add Your Pasta to the sauce, and not ladle the sauce over the Pasta.
Zero Guilt is a really good thing IMO.
Have a Nice Day

Hello!
I am trying to get caught up on a lot! My house is a disaster, so I am cleaning and washing today. It is humid and buggy! All week it will be mid to upper 90's and humid! Uggh!! I saw that you responded to my Sunday post! I felt it was a win myself!
Pasta is always good in soups and stews, picking up flavor. One reason I love hominy or dumplings in things like that, too! I am however one of those people who prefer my spaghetti sauce on top my pasta. That way it doesn't get soggy when I am at the end. Crazy, I know, but there are some exceptions to my own rule. I have a feeling that it might be how you were raised too, and that is what tastes best, lol!
I do love zero guilt too! The soup sounded awesome, Val!! I hope your puppies are doing a bit better in their relations.
You did a lot of walking Roger, especially for the humidity! Global warming??? I find it much much hotter than it used to be, in places it wasn't. But who knows if it is a huge cycle or not. Seems much research is presented flawed either way. I am tired of paying for other countries when it is as much their responsibility. What a mess...
Unbelievable story on the contact lenses! I can not believe! But I could see one or two, no pun intended, lol!
Stay on track all!! Trying to do good today!!! ..humor bound...Jan 1
