Thoughts On A Sunday

It’s been a 50-50 weekend with yesterday being rainy and today, well at least do far, being sunny. It’s been quite humid with dew points being in the upper 60’s yesterday and today, and expected to be in the mid to upper 60’s the rest of the week. It’s meant we’ve been running the A/C to dry things out which means it’s been on a low setting, just enough to drop the humidity while the inside temps are still in the upper 70’s.

It’s summer, so warm humid days are to be expected. However, it’s been so humid that we’ve been seeing a lot of rain. The upside to this is that no one is talking about drought anymore. The downside has been that neither BeezleBub or I have been able to get out on the Official Weekend Pundit Lake Winnipesaukee Runabout as every time we planned to do so those plans were canceled by rain.

In other words, a not atypical summer in New Hampshire.

It seems the LGBTQ+ community has to deal with yet another twisted individual who is certainly not helping their cause. One of our former state reps in New Hampshire – Stacie Laughton – is being charged with distributing child pornography.

Anyone familiar with Stacie Laughton, once known as Barry Laughton, is likely not surprised that she is once again in legal trouble. That it has risen to this level is something I never thought would happen. But then that she has gone down this far doesn’t really surprise me at all as it’s been a downhill ride for Laughton since the time I met him/her/whatever back in the mid-2000’s.

What a scumbag.

Bird Dog over at Maggie’s Farm asks an important question:

Does anybody believe any news from Ukraine and Russia?

One has to remember the first victim of war is the truth.

Bird Dog also asks this related question:

Oh, also, where's the UN? Worrying about the weather, I guess. Mission creep - they do nothing.

Heh.^TM

It seems like one country on this planet has decided the Green Nude Eel is a Bad Thing^TM.

Sweden has decided to scrap its green energy targets.

In a statement announcing the new policy in the Swedish Parliament, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson warned that the Scandinavian nation needs “a stable energy system.”

Svantesson asserted that wind and solar power are too “unstable” to meet the nation’s energy requirements.

Sweden understands the weaknesses and pitfalls of wind and solar and wants nothing to do with them.

Smart move. Now if only other nations realized this...one of those nations being the US. (Actually, people in the US already understand this. It’s only the government, the watermelon environmentalists, and the True Believers who buy into the Green Nude Eel.)

And that’s the news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where it’s muggy, the skies are still blue (at the moment), and where we hope to get some boating time out on the lake this week!
