Interesting. Minnesota is one of only 3 states which actually have 3rd degree murder as a statute.

While I VEHEMENTLY CONDEMN what that POS did when he killed George Floyd, and what the other three LAMEASS officers did not do.

I also VEHEMENTLY CONDEMN the anarchy, looting, burning, destroying business and livelihoods of the community at large.

I know a lot (a lot) of LEO's in San Francisco and can guarantee that they ALL abhor what happened.

BUT please remember this.  They (and all first responders) run TOWARDS danger when everyone else is running away! They do this every day. THANK YOU for your service!

Also stay tuned for further charges as the initial charge was simply that. The INITIAL charge. Prosecutors will likely modify and probably modify upwards as well as add to.

CLEARLY Minneapolis has shi**tons of work to do regarding training

I try to keep politics off of this blog and am for the most part successful. HOWEVER, some things cry out for dialog,

ANTIFA IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.  DO THE MATH.

ANARCHISTS on BOTH SIDES are terrorists, scum, thugs, dregs of humanity.

HOW is Looting honoring the tragic death of George Floyd?

Clearly the SHITHEAD Cop who killed him was a 110% piece of trash! I hope if/when he is tried and found guilty of murder (2'nd, 3'rd whatever) deserves to be sentenced to the maximum penalty and then incarcerated in a federal pen where he WILL get what is coming to him.
The other 3 cops as well.

BUT... Destroying businesses etc. and robbing more people of even the opportunity to work and try and survive the Corona PanF'inDemic .  Seriously?  

Sorry, but THUG is an appropriate term. And it applies to former police officers who did this as well as the looters and rioters.

Definition: a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.

While color certainly plays its part, often unfairly, shitheads come in all colors.

OKEY DOKE...  MUSIC EDITION!!

I was talking to a great friend the other night and we were discussing  books, music, etc. and she remarked that she doesn't listen much to "young" music. (She's a little younger than I am) and I thought that was just wrong, I hear many people younger than me but say over 40 and they always kvetch that there "just isn't any good music out these days!  ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!   YOU AREN'T LISTENING. We are blessed by some of the best music released in the past decade it's just suhweet/

I started the conversation out with "The Eagles are arguably the best band ever" She countered with "well there are the Beatles"  Hard to argue with that! Then we visited Bob Dylan, and so on.

I just pulled up home and was listening to Shawn Mendes in the car LOUD, a neighbor walked by and she was really enjoying it, giving me the "raise the roof" sign of appreciation.

Just got an email from a girl singer that I really like and have seen several times at the Clement Street Farmers Market. Plays a stunning violin and has an incredible range so she gets first billing.  Michelle Lambert.

PSA time.

In my quest to learn everything I can about masks and their protective abilities I ran across this article and it really jives with what I know, suspected, and believe.

If you’re wearing a face mask with a little plastic valve embedded in it, you should know that valves compromise the effectiveness of the mask—and this is true whether your mask is a hardware-store N95 or a designer cloth mask.

These valves allow exhaled breath to bypass the filter. When you breathe in, the air you breathe is being filtered by the mask; when you breathe out, it is not. (The valve only operates in one direction.)

One-way valves make sense if you’re kicking up sawdust in your basement, walking around California during wildfire season or working in a factory where particles you definitely don’t want to breathe in may be in the air. In these cases, the mask’s job is to protect you. The valve makes it more comfortable to wear so you can get through your day or your factory shift without feeling too stifled. 

Full article here.

So basically, these valved masks protect YOU (inhaling) but don't protect others if you exhale germs and stuff.  Ever see doctors wearing valved masks?  Hmmmmmm.

THIS is one COOL CAKE.

 

Created by the bestestest baker in the city (IMHO) Wendy of QUEENS COOKIES!

LOOK for her cookies at Lukes Local on COLE STREET when this all settles down and the city is open for business again. You WILL be hooked.

Life is too too short without GOOD Cookies.



My fav's
#1 The Glen Cookie (named for yours truly) Salted Caramel, Chocolate Chips, and the kicker, Toffee Chips.
#2 Oatmeal with Blueberries
#3,4,5,6, ad infinitum  Boozy Cherry, God's Gift CHOCOLATE CHIP, and really all of the rest of her repertoire.
She even makes "Twig Cookies" (ya know, more healthy, sustainable, earth friendly) like hippie cookies.   Sorta like this but not exactly. (NOT an exact pic, just borrowed for illustrative purposes)

 Ya Know, Full of all the organic shmanic silly stuff.

Things I miss a lot during this STAY the F at Home order.
