Custer (right) with a captured classmate during the civil war. Custer was an idiot, finished last in his class at West Point (war had started so everyone graduated). Clearly he’d been selected to be president one day...
One piece that stood out for me was that Custer raped a 14 year old girl who gave birth to a child. I know that rape is a part of war and conflict, but yuck!
In the dog's defense, the cats knocked over the laundry hamper so they could sleep in it and she just pulled the stuff out and made herself a nest. She's such a sweetheart I can't stay mad at her. She doesn't chew on stuff and she waits for people to walk through doors before her and wants permission to go through a door before she goes. I think her previous owner was elderly. We suspect the owner died or got put in a home & their family members dumped her. She's had puppies before but was spayed. Had trimmed/groomed fur but she and some puppies that looked like her (probably her little ones) were dumped near the local Pizza Hut. When my brother worked there she kept coming over to see him when he was on break. She climbed into his lap when he sat on the curb. After over 2 weeks he decided to bring her home. We checked with the vet and posted online in lost and found pets but nobody claimed her.
Box turtles reminded me, had some box turtles that got friendly after we rescued them.
..Somehow I don't think they'd 'get the message' or end up Looking all that different.. I mean, the Second-in from the right looks like she's Already 'BTDT'..
When we were still back in Zommiefornia, I often noticed (from 'listing photos') that a Lot of Zommiefornians in 'standard neighborhoods' (ie: Not any opulent ones, like BelAir, etc - just yer typical 1940 / 1950s cracker-box 'hoods..) "do that" to their places.. (WAY over-decorate)
..Probably to 'justify' the $800,000 - $1.2 Million price tags - for a place that Shouldn't be valued-at / selling for a Nickel more than - Maybe - $85,000. (based on sq. ft / age / Lot-size, etc) Patently-absurd..
Like the Proverb quipped 'Gold nose ring(s) in the snout of a Pig'.. Yep.
Went to a Republican candidate break out for a state assembly position. First pic was the former LA County Sheriff, Alex Villanueva, ousted out of office by the Antifa and cop haters. Girl in black was a San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy who got into a fight with a bad guy, who ripped her gun from her holster and shot at her 3 times. Jury were cop haters who said she provoked the fight, and gave a not guilty for the lifelong gang member. The girl in red was just elected into the Chino Hills School Board, and stopped our governor's mandate to cancel the cancel culture and demanded parents be notified when their kids choose a new sex lifestyle. She is turning heads up to the state courts. The last pic is Nick Wilson, a 14 year cop forced to medically retire and is anti-liberal.
Yes, it is the latest thing in Florida. You get a special, clean, nice yellow uniform if you are caught clogging toilets and starting fights! Some people keep coming back for more, so they must be nice an stylish!
My little offroad rocket on Otay Mountain (that's OH-tye) down by the Mexican border... sometimes, while riding in this awesome venue, I'd see files of illegal aliens making their way through the brush, lol.
That's the Western Spur, a dirt & gravel road which was recently "sealed" before this pic was taken... made the surface faster & easier to navigate, and also made it easier for Border Patrol vehicles to make time up and down the hill. The Western Spur was 7 miles long, the Eastern Spur was also 7 miles long, and the Northern Spur was something like 4 or 5 miles long... all three spur roads met at 'Doghouse Junction' not far from the summit of Otay Mountain, which was somewhere around 3500' elevation. Nice view of Baja and the islands from the summit... I'd take my little rocket out there and ride for several hours, rarely seeing anybody but illegal aliens and BP personnel, lol. That entire area was a wilderness preserve, protected from development, and it made for a nice getaway from the Big City... above the smog layer too, once ya rode high enough, lol. I had many a fun session on those spur roads, not a bad venue for being so close to my home (only 20-25 miles from Coronado by road). The bike went into the back seat of my car for the paved stretches... no future in riding that little bike in city traffic, lol.
P.S. The 14-mile-long whaleback ridge known by Dago locals as Otay Mountain is also called the San Ysidro Range by geologists...
I'll post a bonus shot just because that riding venue was so cool... many folks weren't aware that "green sticker" OHV bikes were legal up there, so there was no crowd, despite the mountain's relative proximity to San Diego. Here ya go, looking straight into Old Mexico, with clouds and some funky smog thrown in at lower elevations, lol...
