After Thanksgiving

 Good Food.  Family. 

Singing in the rain, but for me walking in the rain.

 Walking with snow falling is common.  Common for me. 

Kathy and I often talk about rain and a wet rain. WET RAIN defined. When leaving the house and going to the car (choose twenty feet) if soaked that is a wet rain. Most common at camp in early summer.  The atmosphere is saturated and unstable. Black clouds develop meaning the clouds extend to great heights.  The cloud is so thick it blots out the sun.

That cloud then dumps all its moisture within minutes.  A wet rain.

In fall and winter clouds have less vertical development and the rain can be steady but not drenching. So today I am postponing my walk waiting for the sprinkles. It was not a wet rain, but my 35 minutes out would have brought me home damp.

Weather and family.

In this post first family.

Family is distant so most of our impressions are passed on by a second person.  Illness, surgery, school progress are examples.  In comparison using emergency room visits, I have had two so details are part of the story.  One in 2005 and one this summer.  This summer was ill advised but gave me a course of action. Details --- a common old age skin growth may have been infected and had a BAD odor. And of course it was Saturday. The advice was, "see your primary care provider"  (one hundred miles away). To finish the story I did as above getting an appointment two days later. Even better, the follow-on skin referral was very quick. My mind was at ease in less than a week.

Emergency room visits 1500 miles away are mostly unreported or given a brief mention.

We will travel 220 miles south for Thanksgiving. Details of that visit will all be firsthand. And now a mention of weather.  A late in the month Thanksgiving means colder air and snow.  An unknown for this trip.

The FULL MOON and Jupiter.

 The sun is about 93,000,000 miles from earth.

Moon well under 300,000 miles.

Jupiter 385,000,000 miles at times. When the earth is on one side of the sun and Jupiter is on the other side the distances change accordingly.

Stay tuned.  Jupiter orbits the sun every 12 years.  From third grade science,

 the earth orbits the sun every ____________.

Make sure you give units

d ________

weeks ______

months ____.

Back to Jupiter.  367,000,000 to 600,000,000 (approximately).

Now on November 17 and Nov 18 watch as the moon moves from the right hand side to the left side of Jupiter.

Past performance a predictor of future behavior.

 Criminals repeat.  Valid?

A liar, a traitor and a coward. Prop him up. just elected.

Will he show up at the transfer of power????

He will have the Desantos Bible with the ten commandments reduced to nine. Desantos lies to his daughters. Thou shall lie often.  Burn all the Bibles with TEN Commandments.

He lied for four years and now he (or FOX) mocks boxes of ballots - You won moron.

 He will mock you, call you names and bring in his thugs.

See you with my prediction in three years.  

JFK, IKE, FDR, Truman. Real presidents.   dlj 11/6/2024

Of course, the REALPRESIDENT was Abraham Lincoln. Weeks before his death at the end of the Civil War Mr. Lincoln walked into Richmond. Jefferson Davis had left Richmond as the result of the Civil War was apparent.  (Look it up). 

Mr. Lincoln also rode his horse on the streets of Washington D.C. No coward there. Mr. Lincoln, thoughtful, intelligent and he could write and speak in complete sentences.

 He captivated crowds with his knowledge and entertained a tiny staff with his humor. How we have lowered ourselves.  

Calendar month and lunar month close by.

 The new moon will join Venus in the evening sky for a couple nights this week.
