Yesterday & Today
From pinterest.com: Salvage yard, Roswell NM, posted by Kay Valdez Noble. How did Fox Mulder miss this one?”:
The first two items in today’s blog are from yesterday’s news.
Politics and war make strange bedfellows. Headline from nypost.com: “James Carville endorses ‘f–ked up’ Graham Platner, compares him to US allying with Stalin to win WWII.” Then again, both are oddballs in their own way. Why couldn’t they come up with a clean woke candidate?
In this case it’s a good thing. Headline from foxnews.com out of Idaho: “Antares reaches reactor criticality under Trump pilot program, marking major nuclear milestone.” It is expected to begin delivering electricity sometime next year. I wonder if Dems will shut it down if they retake power.
In 2020 I believed the election results were legit. I now lean toward the belief it was stolen. Mail-in voting is an abomination. No wonder most countries ban it.

RIP actor Patrick Godfrey, 93. Born in London, he started acting in radio productions in the mid ’50s. There are 165 titles under his name at IMDb, screen career spanning 1959–2024. He was comfortable on the big and small screen. He made numerous appearances on popular BBC productions, including six episodes of Doctor Who and several adaptations of Shakespeare and other classics. Here are five films in which he appeared: A Room with a View (1986), The Remains of the Day (1993), Dostoevsky’s The Gambler (1997), The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), Les Miserables (2012). Married since 1960, he was a father of two. Well done, Sir. Thank you. Photo from Google Images:
RIP NBA stalwart Stacey King, 59, who succumbed to a fall at home. He was an All-American center at Oklahoma, leading the Sooners to the 1988 NCAA Championship game, earning Big Eight Player of the Year honors in 1989. He was taken by Chicago in the first round of the ’89 draft, the sixth selection overall. He was a key reserve on the first three Bulls’ championships, ‘91-’93. He also had stints with the Minnesota, Miami, Boston and Dallas. In eight seasons he averaged 6.4 PPG and 3.4 RPG. After his retirement he went into broadcasting, doing commentary on Bulls’ games for nearly 20 years. He was a father of four sons. Gone much too soon. Well done, Sir. Photos from GI:
Perfect weather and the Anti-Inflation Book Shop did well. My thanks to the kind folks who donated books and CDs, and to the woman who yesterday said she would return for the large pictorials on Princess Di, and who also bought Irish Pub Cooking; and to the woman who purchased In His Father’s Footsteps by Danielle Steel and a paperback thriller in Russian; and to the one who took home Cooking with Wine by Robin McDouall and a CD in Russian; and to the one who selected two hardcovers in that language.
