President Trump was secretly whisked off Air Force One in an airport catering truck last month and departed Turkey on a separate military flight in response to a threat from Iran, according to a report.
The secret mission, reported by the Washington Post on Monday, left journalists and even White House staff believing that they were on the same plane as the president when they departed the annual NATO Summit in Ankara on July 8. But in reality they served as a decoy while Trump traveled in a smaller, Air Force C-32A.
The elaborate ruse saw Trump publicly board an older model of Air Force One before being smuggled out in a catering truck that had been lifted up to a door on the opposite side of the entrance to the presidential plane.
By my way of thinking, I'd imagine he didn't enjoy that very much. The guy is used to a kinda 'lavish' lifestyle, if ya get my drift. For him to have done this, the threat musta been very serious. Juss' sayin'...

The Kettlewell scarecrow festival in England is an annual event. Looks like fun. The two-week event celebrates the creativity of the Yorkshire Dales village and has gone from strength to strength since beginning as a fundraiser for the local primary school in 1994.

When the Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak tomorrow night, the moon will be in its new moon phase, giving off no light. The following night, on Aug. 13, the moon will be in its waxing crescent phase, with only 1% illumination. The dark skies will enhance the view for stargazers hoping to catch a glimpse of some shooting stars and brighter fireballs, experts say. The best viewing period is expected to be during the overnight hours of Wednesday, Aug. 12, through the predawn hours of Thursday, Aug. 13.
Some experts say another good viewing opportunity should be during the early morning hours on Aug. 12. In areas with dark, cloudless skies, as many as 50 to 100 meteors per hour could be seen during the Perseid meteor shower during its peak. “With swift and bright meteors, Perseids frequently leave long ‘wakes’ of light and color behind them as they streak through Earth’s atmosphere,” NASA notes. “Perseids are also known for their fireballs... larger explosions of light and color that can persist longer than an average meteor streak.”

Long and short of it, I'll drive that fucker in to the ground. If I have to put three grand a year in to it, it's still a bargain, unlike buying a new one for around 50g's, know what I mean? Anyway, I digress again. If I ever did have to put Ole' Blue down, I think I'd like that old 1935 Buick Model 67 Five-Passenger Sedan to take her place. Car'd be a fuckin' chick magnet to boot, but it's not like anything's gonna happen, if ya know what I mean...
