Surely, LSP, which hardly sounds like a real name, you mean 'baking'" Well you have a point, it's ridiculously hot here in the great state of Texas because of climate change. That's right, we've moved from balmy July to oven-hot August. So what to do?
The same old thing, not unlike Wellington at Waterloo, when you think on it. Get up, drink strong coffee on the back deck, say Morning Prayer 1928 style, wash up and then take the dog for a constitutional. Sometimes that means a walk to the Pick 'n Steal, today it meant fallow ground behind the Compound.
What was this green space? Something to do with a hospital, I think, now it's a field. Why, we ask ourselves, is it not a communal pool? Good question. Green field dog run complete, amble over to Craig Street and enjoy the shade of some old oaks while you look at what was once a house. The place was demolished last year and lies empty, reclaimed by nature.
A parable for our declining civilization? Perhaps, but don't get too excited, people are moving here from Dallas, Alberta and California because property's still comparatively cheap, which means it won't be in a year or so. Still, reflect on this: Our town numbered some 20,000 souls well into the 1950s, it's around a third of that now. Sic transit, eh? Don't say ancient Rome.
In other news, El Senor scored a major PR victory in his war against war; behold all those European, vassals leaders, sitting in the Office. Will it bring peace? Dunno, above my pay grade, but a reverse Kissinger alliance with Russia against China would be interesting, don't you think? And let's get back all those billions we've spent on Biden's war at taxpayer expense.
That in mind, sorry UK, better get in line and while you're at it, stop putting people in prison for Wrong Think, you Stasi mountebanks.
Cheers,
LSP

Field dog run. Mighty green for Texas in August. Some of that earlier rain must have soaked in. Hope it helped the aquifers.
Regarding falling numbers of people, well, who exactly is breeding in this great country? It's, sorry to say, ghetto mommas not quite keeping up with the rate of death of ghetto boys and, of course, conservative families, who tend to be church-going faithful who also like guns and dogs and 'get off my lawn.'
So, well, it's a multigenerational thing and will take a few generations to fix. The angry wine-box lesbos and the turd burglars are unbreeding themselves and their lifestyles away, which is of course why they're screaming so hard to let the drags and trans and all invade the public school system. Like any cult, gotta grab them young before they can think.
The chairs full of despots and potentates. And Giorgia Meloni looking like she wants to shiv all of them. That is definitely an "I don't give a copulation about the people to the left of me" look.
As to El Trumpo, he's definitely looking like he's talking to a bunch of third graders. But, unlike #44 and #46, at least he's talking to and with them. And he definitely projects that he's the big guy in the room (doesn't hurt that he literally is the big guy in the room.)
Stand tall and whack em with a big stick, Trump!
Most of them do in fact act like third graders and deserve a good shiving for what they have done to their own countries. Apparently, the lesson of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu hasn't taken.......yet.
Well, at least there was a start--

I wish Starmer had balls like Giorgia Meloni
Of course not, it's not Christmas yet. Maybe this year there'll be lots of good Christmas presents in Europe.
That had to leave a mark. Good for Trump.
I wish Starmer had at least hamster-sized balls. As it is, they're more ovaries than anything else.
I was thinking that, WSF. TBH, it's been a remarkably clement July/August, so I shouldn't complain.
It's a strange and awful thing, Beans, to behold a civilization's suicide. That said, the active part of that gets the Darwin award and we can all move on.
Ah, Beans, Meloni's EPIC.
Good Ceausescu point, Wild. I've been pondering just that and fear you're psychic. That wicked couple thought they had it all 'til the very end. Will history rhyme? Undoubtably, and it'll be nasty when it does.
Saw that, RHT.
I fear, nbc, that Two-Tier's a lost cause.
Beans, you're kind.
