"It's OVER!!
Well, I don't consider the mess in Iran over until the deal is signed in Switzerland on Friday. VP Vance said he may be sent. I doubt it, Mr Egotistical will want to put his name down in Sharpie so he can claim he "stopped" another war, and deserves to get the Nobel Peace Prize for it.
However, his ordering the naval blockade removed is a good sign.
Israel and Lebanon have agreed to stop hitting each other, but Benji seems to decide whether to do that when he wakes up in the morning.
Do I thi..."

"Solar Power vs. Coal Power
We all know the views of solar and wind power by the current WH administration. I sometimes wonder if part of the reason has to do with the coal industry making GOP campaign contributions and heavy lobbying for reviving the coal industry.
Nonetheless, apparently solar is outranking coal even a little bit as far as power output vs. coal. Keep in mind, natural gas is still #1, and nuclear is #2.

"Sammy in StL
Caught Sammy Hagar in concert last night in St Louis. He was starting the summer tour here. Sounded and got around pretty damned good for 78 year old guy. Didn't sing Dreams and a few other songs with the super high notes as he even admitted he can't do it anymore. He played for two hours and performed everything from early Montrose to his latest tribute to Eddie Van Halen and everything between. Better than the last two times I saw him: last time was the Eddie tribute concert and he just seeme..."

"This Isn't Science Fiction
This is for real, almost like an episode from any science fiction show.
"NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has been falling for years. Now it is falling fast. And a robotic spacecraft is racing to catch it before it burns up in Earth's atmosphere.
Swift launched in 2004 to study gamma-ray bursts - the most powerful explosions in the universe. When something sudden and violent happens in the sky - a star collapses, two neutron stars collide, a black hole devours a companion..."

"Stormy Weather
Lots around Peoria area, with Chillicothe getting really hit earlier today. Power outage in most of town, trees down; Sister in law on W. Rome Road was out of power for several hours. I was sent there, got video of a couple power lines down, and a huge tree blocking Cloverdale road.
Saw pics of trees down in Pekin.
But tonight, numerous tornadoes in Springfield, Sangamon County, and Macon County. One tornado hit an animal shelter just north of the State Fairgrounds...and less than a mile..."

"Dunkin' Donuts on Western moved next door to a new building where KFC once stood.
From what I've read, there's another national chain ready to take over the old property. Who that will be is anyone's guess.
