Your Saturday morning grab bag

Grab bag backwards 
makes no sense...

Hong Kong is burning.


Hong Kong has banned citizens from 
wearing masks in public. 
I guess Halloween is a no-go.

Hong Kong went into near shutdown as businesses closed and rail services were suspended for the first time in more than 20 years after overnight violence described by Chief Executive Carrie Lam as a “very dark day.”

A person was shot and injured Friday night, the second of the week, during a scuffle between a plain-clothes police officer and demonstrators who had attacked his car. The chaotic scene was one of many across the city, as some protesters battled with police, vandalized mainland-linked businesses and train stations, and set fire to at least one train.

Yankees 10 Twins 4 Game 1



DJ LeMahieu had never been more deserving to hear chants of “M-V-P.”

The breakout star of the Yankees’ season seized the spotlight again in Game 1 of the ALDS, as LeMahieu delivered his first career postseason home run and then sealed the 10-4 win over the Twins with a three-run double in the seventh inning.

LeMahieu, who went 3-for-20 with no RBIs in five playoff games with the Rockies the past two years, went 3-for-5 with four RBIs on Friday night and continued his storybook first season in pinstripes, in which he finished second in the American League with a .327 batting average and recorded a career-high 26 home runs and 102 RBIs, while being selected as an All-Star for a third time.

There really ARE some deals here:

A high school teacher in Georgia was placed on administrative leave for allegedly posting a message in her classroom that stated the Confederate flag stands for marrying your sibling.

A student at Hephzibah High School in rural Richmond County reported to her mother that the teacher put a photo of the flag on a whiteboard that was accompanied by the text “A sticker you put on the back of your pickup truck to announce that you intend to marry your sister. Think of it like a white trash ‘Save the Date’ card.”

Even if it was the last meal on earth


I wouldn't dare eat this thing.

How insanely processed is the McRib Sandwich? 

It's a 'boneless pork chop between a bun and slathered with tangy BBQ sauce, topped with onions and pickles'. Yikes. 

It (the sandwich) was first 'launched' in 1981, and with rare exceptions has only been offered for sale in select McDonald's for a few weeks at a time. 

Not if my life depended on it. Nope No way Jose.

Is this show about lesbians who may or may not be crimefighters? 
Or vice-versa...

I never heard of it before but I did see a news blip that PMSNBC video star Rachel Madcow has been signed to a recurring role in the show. Oh, mamma - pop some corn and let's nestle on the couch for this little treat. Yikes again.

  1. Your colorization of black and white photos is impressive. I have some old family photos I would like to do that with. What technique did you use?

  2. You can do it on line for free. Scan your pics and upload them to this website. Learning curve on the tools isn't too long so it's relatively easy to master. Just have patience - it is intuitive but you should have a good color chart to work off of. I'll add mine to the end of the post so you can steal it. At first, use either a copy of a pic or one you don't care about at first till you get the hang of it. Enjoy!

  3. I like your colorized pics.
    Jane Sanders, wife of commie Bernie, de-frauded a Vermont state agency and bank while she was president of Burlington College. You can do a search for details. She may be 'short bus special', but she's smart enough to run a scam. What she could get away with as First Lady would make the Burlington thing look like peanuts. Remember what Michelle O did? Had a massive staff, took many vacations on the taxpayers' dime....
