The Last Summer Eggs

Gasoline vs Electric
About 137 years ago, the gasoline engine was produced and manufactured for public use for those who could afford it. During that time, only the rich could buy this luxury item.
Gasoline
Think about this:
- gasoline was very limited - no gas stations because most of the population did not own a car.
- parts for the car when something broke, again limited demand - no manufacturing parts because no factories to produce them.
- Electric cars are somewhat limited, and public charging stations are limited. Home charging stations are expensive.
- Parts are limited because of supply chain issues, especially at this time.
So, here are my final thoughts on this topic.
I will be ready to buy my first electric car in 137 years.

My Opinion - on the war in Ukraine
No significant change from a few months ago. I think primarily due to the military weaponry coming into the country from all over the world.
I do not understand why the US media has stopped reporting on this war when we send billions of funds and equipment. Does the US know something and is not telling the American people? Are the repercussions of this silence something that would be unpopular? Could there be some conspiracy theory?
One thing that has caught my attention is the high level of US government officials visiting a country currently at war. This raises concern for me. And why would the leader of Ukraine come to the United States for a photo op with Vogue Magazine?

Summer Eggs 3
I'm really surprised these guys survived. The temperatures have been in the 100's. This is late in the year to see bluebirds of this size still in the nest.

Politics and Religion
What does this say about how we interact with each other?
Most people say, " I won't talk about politics or religion" Well, it seems that politics is an essential part of deciding on new friends, yet no one wants to talk about it. Politics should be an open and civil conversation. Most would say they would not speak because they are afraid of an argument about trying to convince others of their opinions. Discussions on politics should be openly discussed with the exception, not without the consent of the other to talk about it. If individuals are willing and open, I believe it should take place.
As for religion, this is a tricking one because estimates are about 10,000 religions in the world. This is difficult because one would need some common knowledge of all faiths. I think it should be discussed but with limits; if there are some common values, it's good. One would need to understand some general aspects to have a reasonable discussion. But, as I said about political debates if both are willing to engage, go for it.
Music and entertainment are not essential factors in deciding on friends.
Disclaimer: I do not endorse NBC News or any other progressive media. But there is a need to know what the other side is discussing.

What is Bill Gates Planning?
Answer: control
Having that amount is all about control of the food supply; it should be against the law.
I wonder what other plans he has for the land.

Bookstore Current Affairs
This is the Current Affairs section at Barns & Noble's bookstore. If this is any indication of the direction of our country, we are in trouble.

July Christmas
This past weekend I went to Hobby Lobby with my wife; there was not much for me to look at, but this caught my attention.
It's July, and Christmas is in December. People will prepare 6 months before December the 25th, and on the 26th, all the decorations are boxed and stored away. The month of December is Advent - the preparation for Christ's birth, a time of deep reflection. The 26th is the first day of Christmas, not the 1st of July. The 12 days of Christmas are the days after the 25th.
I will usually go on this rant every July. Let's keep the holidays within their respective months.

Decipher
Continuing from the last post...
Should journalists/media report all the news, good or bad?
I believe they are responsible for reporting both because they are lying to us if they don't. They are withholding the truth.
The news is so biased it is hard to decipher what is true and what is not.
Just my opinion...

Reasonable Conclusion
Sunday, June 26, 2022
Praise God
The ruling on Friday (Roe v Wade overturned) was on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
God still works miracles for those who pray.
St Teresa of Calcutta - "Do not let the past disturb you. Leave everything in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and begin again with joy."
Lets us say a few extra prayers of thanksgiving for this gift.
