Happy Friday, GN -- everyone got home safe. Tatum showed up some time after I went to bed -- Mrs Sven got in around midnight. And just one more day left in the work week --
It’s funny how no one gave a carp about the Kurds until last week and now that’s all anyone can talk about. Well, that and impeachment.
Happy Friday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Mac, Fatwa, and Sven!
Mac -- nice to “see” you! I hope all is well with you and Little Mouse!
Sven -- glad everyone made it back safely. I hope the Santa Ana’s aren’t too bad and you get to keep your electricity (If you like your electricity, you can keep your electricity -- sounds familiar).
How long have we been negotiating with our “NATO partner” Turkey over the Kurds? 15 years? Longer? And to what end? Now, when Erdogan states that he’s going to invade Syria to kill some Kurds, President Trump removes the trip-wire that was American troops, he invades, and finds himself on the wrong end of a whole lot of sanctions. In short order he’s on the phone asking to speak with Trump and asking for our help in negotiating a settlement. What’s that old saying? Nothing speaks like results?
Long -- but interesting -- Twitter thread re the recent NL farmers’ protests:
Thread about the recent farmer protests in the NL
>Parliament flooded with tractors >Doors rammed >Army deployed >Angry politicians
This has had little to no traction outside the Dutch sphere, so Ive decided to make an English thread detailing the events on the 3 major protests pic.twitter.com/u7W3RWWPdz
Peeks in, sneaks out.
TGIF, GN!
Hiya, Sneakin’ Peekin’ Mac!
Hope that Mrs. Sven and Jack Tatum both arrived safely at Teh Mountain Redoubt.
I got nothin’ else; BBL.

SoCal Edison keeps calling to let me know to buy more candles and ice. Santa Ana’s start Sunday and temps pop back up to the 90’s.

Analysis: Crude but acceptable.

Another Russian asset? My God. Is there no end to this? That Putin is the devil.
