Tuesday/Newsday

1. Looks safe enough, spraying disinfectant in a confined space with only a paper mask.
   That ought to be a service provided by used car/truck lots.
   Maybe the customers wouldn’t get scabies/bedbugs from a purchase.
   Not that I would know anything about that.

   • It might work on your old, new (to you) truck.

     • Fortunately my wife took care of that.

2. The track suits. Anything made by Adidas is loved due to the 3 stripes and the 3 leaf symbol because to them it represents the holy trinity. In soviet style housing units, one can see groups of Gopniks (the term for maybe gang members, Gopnitzas for their girl friends) just hanging out. It’s a dead giveaway as to where they originated.

   • I didn’t know that there was a “holy” reference to Adidas products. I realize that they had their own iconography, but generally associated poor quality and not the Almighty. Gopnizas don’t wear the track suits (no matchy-matchy thing), even in Siberia.

3. Scranton is Lunchbox Brandon’s hometown, ain’t it, although whether anything he says is real or imagined may be open to some interpretation. Anyway, it strikes me that if there is an actual flight manifest, the passengers could be called “documented” after a fashion, yes?

   • They don’t need ID to board the flight. Herded aboard in batches. Somebody must do a headcount so maybe you can call that documented.

     • Well, I did say “if”, so…….

4. Even if I had a spare $5K laying around I don’t believe I would go for that package. The KR 103 is the only part I would consider, but given the price even without the other stuff, it ain’t gonna happen.

   • You’d get a free track shirt though.

     • Free like Obamacare.

   • FYI they just came out with an upgraded KR 103 called the VISKOV. It weighs a whopping 14lbs slick.

     • Wow! Just what I’d want to pack around all day!
       I haven’t worn a track shirt since I was on the track team in high school.

5. Trying to figure out how the Ghost Flights aren’t treason, I was under the impression transporting illegal aliens into our country’s interior is against the law. But maybe that’s just me, I only had a semi-classic education before Lefty/anarchist indoctrination became the norm.

   Keith L- Stickin’ it too ’em…pure American entrepreneurial – making lemonade outta lemons – spirit right there.

   The tank looks like they hired Bev Doolittle…only good in the birches and aspens, in Winter.

   • They simply ignore the law, but it’s cool because they’re donkeys.

     • Well, I am a flyover deplorable so have no clue on how to break Constitutional law with the ease I breath. Heck, I still employ the 5 second rule when something drops to the floor…do that around the crazies and watch their wide-eyed panic go off the charts, “UNSAFE! UNSAFE!, GET THE VENTILATOR!

     • I’m wondering why they can get away with it, with holding political prisoners for a year, etc.
       Do we have no champions to support to challenge this?

   • The Ghost Flights aren’t treason because the Democrats are doing it.

     Reverse the party and fly Ghost Flights of South African Whites all over the country and you’d hear the clamor from the Moon!

6. I didn’t know that rednecks operated far enough north to need winter camo. That stuff appears to be panels of cloth (or plastic) held on by tape.

   “What the *!@#! did you do to my tank?”
   “Don’t worry, Staff Sergeant, we used reflective tape.”

   • Japanese rednecks… hint as to origin.

     • Then I presume it’s a Type-90.

       • You presume correctly

         • Looks like they tried to drive it under a flock of seagulls or vultures.

         • Make it look like a tank statue? Cunning camo.

7. VA
   Being a cheapskate, I get my Apixaban prescription from them. They give me a two month supply and it takes 2 weeks to arrive. In fairness, they told me. Reality is more like a month.

   “Don’t worry, Staff Sergeant, we used reflective tape.”
   Thanks for a good laugh.

8. Some superficial similarities might lead the unwary to guess that this tank is a Leopard; especially so a Leopard 2A4 of Norwegian provenance.
   However, on a closer look some details (headlights; gun tube/position & shape of smoke extractor; optics; turret MG) clearly point to a CV 90 of the Japanese SDF.
   Thank you for this tricky challenge!

   • The camo was the give-away. A casual view would make you think Leopard – as you point out.

9. Riverside/Loma Linda? That’s the VA which gave my dad three simultaneous staph infections. I didn’t know that was even possible. How can a patient have three distinct staph infections at the same time? His non-VA Dr, himself a vet, told dad to seek treatment other than the VA. From at death’s door to fully recovered inside of two weeks.

   Oh, there is more, a lot more. I know of two vets who went there for regular follow-up for chronic conditions but camw out dead The VA needs to be disassembled with prejudice post haste.

   • Had a nephew who had knee surgery while serving. The surgery was botched AND the knee got infected. The family ortho doc back home talked him into letting him do the second surgery and, after getting the infection under control, made the knee more usable.
     It’s still not 100%, but is better than my nephew had been told it could be.

   • And yet the vets around Ann Arbor praise the VA here.

     • The AAVA is a a good one. (That may be like being the tallest dwarf, but that’s a different story.) All AAVA attending physicians are University of Michigan faculty and a number of specialists practice at both the University Hospital and the VA. The inpatient services are run by Univ of Michigan Internal Medicine residents.

       • That would account for the differential in care that many experience. My experience at the Long Beach, CA VA has been bad and mediocre. Usually I find care elsewhere. I went in for a separate procedure.

10. OKCVA is good too! MUCH better than the main DCVA… sigh… No clue on the tank (As usual)… LOL
