Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 22 October 2023

Found these  1 is Fingal and 2 is Harvey and 3 is Fingal again.  Must try and find one of Dillon

Rep Michael Johnson and his wife are in a covenant marriage,” a stricter marriage arrangement that is only legal in three states". These right-wing republicans are crazy and it is getting downright scary!

This is a not very good pic of Dillon who couldn't understand that he was trying to pick up a buoy which is why he couldn't move it.

HAPPY FULL MOON!
The moon turns full tonight at 9:24 p.m. in the UK. There's a partial lunar eclipse visible in much of the world, including the UK (but not in the US).

Here are the times in London. You can insert your own town in the search box for accurate times in your area. www.timeanddate.com/.../london

You can also stream the eclipse online. www.space.com/partial-lunar-eclipse-october-28-what-time

I'll be back later to start the new thread. HELLO TO ALL!

CLARE: Thank you for asking about me.

You are correct in your assessment of our new Speaker of the House. He is one of the most dangerous--and frightening--people in the U.S. I fear that he and the GOP will dismantle democracy, thwart the rule of law, tear down the pillars of our government, and drive us toward theocratic fascism. You are also right about his view of women. I'm not looking forward to living in The Handmaid's Tale.

I've just read that he is married - the poor woman.  Apparently she was absent from his swearing in because she'd been on her knees in prayer for the last fortnight.  I really don't have words!

I'd never heard of one of these and I'm not sure why anyone would think they are necessary.  Then again, I'm not remotely a Christian - let alone one of these extreme ones.
