This was the "Opening Shot" in today's Daily Shot newsletter from Ricochet. “Of all God’s creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.” ― Mark Twain …

Retired, well-educated Purchasing professional in aerospace field. I discovered Rush Limbaugh in 2001, and spoke to him on the radio in 2005. I mourn his passing every day. My husband and I both lost our employment due to the Government response to the Wuhan Coronavirus; I despise the Health Nazis who are ruining my country. We are endowing a scholarship at Hillsdale College, the last bastion of Liberty in America.
Photo Challenge…Quest…For My People
I am a Jew. In 2007, I went to Israel with Michael Medved. For me, it was a quest, to see where my people originated. At Masada, dozens of my ancestors committed suicide, rather than submit to being conquered by the Romans. I felt very close to them when we went there. Those were My …
Visions of Victoria (B.C.)
When we got married, in October of 2003, my husband and I decided to go to Victoria, British Columbia, for our short honeymoon. Hubby had lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1980, and he had never been to Victoria, which is just a few hours away, north of us. So I contacted Clipper Vacations, who …
Kindertotenlieder
Songs on the Death of Children. In his book The Devil’s Pleasure Palace, Michael Walsh opines that the German Romantic Movement of the late 19th and early 20th Century, foretold the decline of Western Civilization. Two stories in the news today perhaps reflect how far we have fallen. Both stories are horrifying. Dad Admits Killing …
We must Never Forget…September 11, 2001
On that day, worldwide Radical Islam escalated the ongoing war on the United States of America (and the rest of Western civilization), the nation that has been a beacon of hope and prosperity for over 250 years. For the past eight years, we have ignored that war, and turned our backs on Christians and Jews …
At The Edge: The Sea…Photo Challenge
Over the edge of the Promenade Deck on the Crystal Serenity is the Sea. The Inside Passage from Canada to Alaska. The water temperature is a pretty steady 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so you don't want to fall overboard. But watching the water go by is hypnotic, and very relaxing. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/edge/

Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame
In the summer of 2006, after my orchestra played Carnegie Hall, my husband and I spent a couple of weeks touring around upstate New York. We visited Revolutionary War sites, including the battlefield at Saratoga, and Fort Ticonderoga. This is a view of Lake Champlain, seen through the frame of a window in one of …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Rare
This is a small pipe organ, manufactured in Estonia in 1844. Today, it resides in the Sitka Lutheran Church, in Alaska. I'm guessing that there aren't very many of these around. These are two views of the back of the organ. Here's my husband playing it, to give you an idea of why I couldn't …
