Compounding

 



There's compounds and there's Compounds. Some have a beautiful lakeside view, swimming pool and several houses. Others do not, such as my Compound which is wretchedly short of a pool. Still, there's a fraternity amongst us all and we enjoy the benefit of it.



In this case, a beautiful view of the lake (Whitney), a crystal clear pool, frolicking deer and all of that. Not so bad, what a pleasant set up. Banned, I'd imagine, in Europe because class envy/politics, aka Socialism. What a great creed until you run out of other peoples' money.



In other news, it seems we've launched against Iran, again. What can I say? If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again. Let's hope this latest effort results in victory. Maybe that victory means the US taking all the dam oil and imposing a new rules based world order, late Roman Republic style. Good call, and 47 kinda fits the bill as Pompey, but where's Caesar? Hiding in the wings, obviously.

SPQR,

Trump had to give the press and the UN lots of chances to watch Iran continuing to copulate up. And after they signed to stop doing stupid sh...tuff, they go and stupid again.

Trump has handed them plenty of rope to hang themselves. Now he's working on it.

Time will tell if this is America's Scillian Expedition.

Fanatics who have used their own children to walk through mine fields won't quit. They welcome martyrdom. Similar to the Japanese in WWII. We may be in a conflict for years.

We should count our blessing then that the "Iranian Sleeper Cells" was just our gov.com lying (again) to us.

Or do "Martyrs" just surrender to Mc Donalds and AC?

If "sleepers" were anything truthful we'd be in deep trouble by now.

One more trip to the 'well', so to speak. The Iranians aren't going to give up until they are dead/gone.

Nice pool. You could stock it with blue gills.

Beans, I'm not a fan of this war, much, but if we're gonna do it we should to the utmost extent and win. IMO.

Good call M.

WSF, maybe resounding force is needed and with that, force of will. Just saying.

LSP said...

Believe nothing, M, but stay true.

LSP said...

With you, NFO.

LL, it's a lovely pool. You'd have liked the woman it was built for. South of the border colorful :) and a lovely person.
