Tweety the flags at the White House are at half mast..who died?

Perhaps they are honoring Rush Limbaugh.

Biden ordered the flags be flown at half mast in honor of those who have died from COVID.

[Lakeside Granny]

Fat chance, probably more like dancing.

Corduroy is fine!! $240 later, and it appears his heart murmur isn't anything dangerous.

The vet said he looked good for 14. So then I said he has to look really good for 15 and a half then!


Here is Roy and Cooper. Obviously nighttime cuz Cooper has his jammies on. Cooper is still trying to get Roy to be his mother. It didn't work 10 years ago and it's still not working.




Temporary sleeping Arrangements during moving. There's not a whole lot of room for me the cat and the dog. Luckily the second cat is pretty independent. Saving the Trump sign, it's going in my new yard. I noticed most people around here have not taken their signs down.

[CottonBall]

The pictures who chose are all so special. Bittersweet. Thank you for the new thread. And the Ping.

[Lakeside Granny]

Cooper is so dang cute and Roy is simply beautiful.

[CottonBall]

What places do you get most of your fabric from?

[CottonBall]

Did the Pup get out of surgery okay?

Mexico Pulls Back From ‘Green Energy,’ Begins Expanding Coal Use

We covered the Great Plains winter storm last week, which cut power and impacted many states’ water supplies, especially Texas.

However, the storm did not just impact the U.S. The storm left over five million customers in northern Mexico without power as a shortage of natural gas disrupted electricity production

Mexico’s government-owned utility, the Federal Electricity Commission, said its operations were left short as the winter storm in Texas froze natural gas pipelines. It said some private power plants also began shutting down Sunday night. Private plants supply about 80% of power in northern Mexico.

Mexico uses gas to generate about 60% of its power, compared to about 40% in the United States. Mexico built pipelines to take advantage of cheap natural gas from the U.S., often obtained by fracking in Texas, but Mexico does not allow fracking in its own territory.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s orders to restrict natural gas exports during the crisis resulted in the need for some diplomatic work.

Mr. Abbott’s order has heightened tensions between the two countries, with top Mexican officials protesting the governor’s decision to cut off gas supplies just as Mexico works to resolve its own mass power outages as a result of the frigid weather.

Perhaps that is why Mexico’s president is now turning toward coal and diverting focus from green energy.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, popularly known as Amlo, has unveiled plans to buy nearly 2m tons of thermal coal from small producers like Rivera. He also plans to reactivate a pair of coal-fired plants on the Texas border, which were being wound down as natural gas and renewables took a more prominent role in Mexico’s energy mix.

Not only is López Obradorbetting big on fossil fuels, he is also curtailing clean energy.

The populist president has promoted a vision of energy sovereignty, in which state-run bodies – the oil company Pemex and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) – pump petroleum and generate electricity. Private players, which have heavily invested in clean energy, are relegated to a secondary role in López Obrador’s vision – while emissions and climate commitments are an afterthought.

“Instead of thinking of a transition from coal and fossil fuels, he’s thinking of using more coal and petroleum,” said Adrián Fernández Bremauntz, director of Iniciativa Climática de México, an environmental organisation.

And while it may not win him any “green energy awards,” Obrador’s decision may win him the support of Mexicans, who will be grateful not to be so dependent on a neighbor that is likely to be even less reliable in the future.

“I cheer anyone, ANYONE, who is fighting the good fight against the swamp.
We need to cheer on anyone keeping the word out there”

That’s a great Point. Even if it doesn’t lead anywhere, at least they’re not letting their voices be stolen from them.

[Rusty0604]

Thanks for letting me know sweet kitty Roy is good. Beautiful cat. 😼

[CottonBall]

LOL!

[CottonBall]

I haven’t been keeping up with any news, what happened with tiger?

[CottonBall]

Thank you LG. I’m embarrassed to say how proud I felt when the doctor said Roy was in good shape and had been well taken care of. With an aspie husband, I’m closer to my animals than I probably should be. But I love them to Pieces anyway.

How are you doing?

[CottonBall]

“BREAKING: Speaker Pelosi has ordered that the FBI seize phone records of Republican members of Congress to determine who they were talking to during the protests on January 6th. The purge of GOP House and Senate members has begun.”

That reminds me of pastor Martin Niemöller’s poem. First they came for the protesters. And the GOP did absolutely nothing to defend Trump Or defend the Patriots. And now they’re coming for them.

[CottonBall]

TY! How is Proby doing?

[Lakeside Granny]

You have a lot to be proud of.

I am doing as good as everyone else is during these dismal times.

I haven’t killed anyone yet but...

And how are you doing?
