ABOUT PROTESTS, Ammo Grrrll wonders: "What do the naked ladies say?"
[N]othing says “War is hell” like wrinkled cleavage. Remember, young people: That tasteful little rose tattoo at the TOP of your breast can, in later years, become a long-stemmed rose down by your waist. Think before you ink.Good advice.

THEY SHOULD HAVE ASKED INDIANA JONES. Biblical scholars believe they may know where the Ark of the Covenant is hidden.

AUTUMN LEAVES INSTALLMENT X, A DOLLAR SHORT AND DAYS LATE
Looking back at previous posts, I see that instead of a day late, I'm a week and a day late. How time flies when you're not paying attention....
Here's 2018's final edition of the autum leaves series. First, as usual, the view from our deck:
The pond is clearly visible, all the underbrush has died out, and fallen leaves cover everything. The same is true of the view of the fire pit and down toward the road.
Leaves cover everything. I keep blowing leaves off all the walkways around the house; the leaves keep coming down. There seem to be an infinite number as there has been very little wind.
The house now is clearly visible from the pond path and there's nothing but inches of leaves on the hillside. The downed tree was left for erosion control, but the thick bed of leaves is actually more efficient.
The pond is finally (mostly) clear of fallen leaves, but the walking paths are riddled with them. They are going to require a lot of maintenance over the winter to clear them up for walking next spring.
The house and stairway (111 steps, if interested) are clearly visible, as is the walking path above the stairway to the dock.
Until next year....

ADAM SCHITT SCHIFF SAYS if the acting attorney general doesn’t recuse himself from the Mueller probe, he’ll have to answer to Democrats.
Somehow I don't think Republican appointees answer to Democrats....

IT'S HARD to be dumber than a fence post, but progressives are up to it. Here's a brief history of Hitler vs. Trump that perhaps they can understand.
Godwin's Law is their last resort.

TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY: VOX co-founder Matt Yglesias gets doxxed after defending harassment of Tucker Carlson.
He'll whine, of course, but progressives are constitutionally incapable of learning from experience.

AUTUMN LEAVES INSTALLMENT IX
Timing is everything. These pictures were taken earlier today while it was bright and sunny; it's now very cloudy with rain on the way. Here's the view from our deck:
More leaves have fallen and the colors are mostly gone. Compared to last week, the pond is now completely visible from the deck.
The leaves from last week are gone - winter has begun.
Our house is now almost completely visible now that the few remaining leaves are gone. So is the fallen pine tree from last week's photo. We pulled nearly 30 feet of the trunk up to the road where it'll eventually be cut up for firewood; the remaining 20 feet or so have been used as a retaining wall to prevent the pond path from eroding.
The dock view isn't nearly as good as last week; the colors are gone and so are the remaining few leaves.
The pond view is washed out, as usual when taking pictures almost directly toward the sun. The angle is a bit different from last week. The bench has been moved by our neighbors, so it's no longer a good reference point. Even so, the leaves are almost all gone; our house and the stairs to the pond are clearly visible, and finally the ridge we live on is visible through the trees.
Last week's pictures are here, and I suspect next week's pictures will be the last for this season.

THOUGHTS FROM THE AMMO LINE: Tell it like it is, Ammo Grrrll.
Of all the crap that Obama delivered from on high unto us bitter clingers, perhaps the most ludicrous was his constant pronouncement that whatever we wanted – Voter I.D., secure borders, lower taxes, race-blind admissions – was “not who we are.” To which I always wanted to scream, “How would YOU know who WE are? You spent all your formative years either eating Curried Dog in a madrassa in Indonesia, or smokin’ dope in private school on an island paradise. Your experience as an ‘American’ carries exactly the same weight as Lizzie Warren’s experience as a Cherokee. Like Sgt. Schultz, you know nothing! You can’t even throw a baseball!”We've tried European-style socialism for eight years and found it wanting. Now it's time to return to American-style capitalism.

POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES is excellent - and long - this week. My favorite:
Go see the rest - and don't miss Nacho moving to Louisana....
