Well she’s impressive but she’s not that impressive.

Conspiracy theorists are at it again over a 120-year-old photo depicting a girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to teen environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

The photo, unearthed from archives at the University of Washington, shows three children working at a gold mine in Canada, including a girl wearing Thunberg’s signature braid and stoic expression.

Historians believe it was taken around 1898.

Thunberg, 16, took the world by storm when she arrived to the UN Climate Action Summit from her native Sweden this year via sailboat — having sworn off airplanes because of their environmental impact.

As with anything to do with man-made global warming or “climate change” (Observed weather) people must realize climate “scientist” refuse to include in their equations/analytics (Concerning the data) particle forcing in either sun/ space or volcanic (Which they have the audacity to attribute the data on the “man’s side” of the equation). Heck, about the only sunspot data they use is solar UV irradiance which actually goes down during “dust-ups” from the sun.

Or as Arnold Horshack said, "What is, is. What was, will be. What will be *was* but will be again."

Right! Man do we live in dangerous times when the past is reinvented and the “truth” created everyday.

She failed to stop the Industrial Revolution, so used suspended animation / hibernation to wait until handlers’ descendants determined the next sociological timeframe suited to trying again to revert humans to Stone Age technology.

Explains why she took a boat to where needed: just couldn’t deal with the idea of being 6 miles in the air in a tin can for hours on end. Imagine how angry this prophet was to wait unto centuries to make the next key step in undoing technology, only to have the meeting canceled due to bad weather. The charred remains of the one who informed her, struck down by her laser eyes, were quickly washed away before evidence could be preserved.

I’ve wondered about identifying the few pieces of DNA that actually guide facial features, and creating a collection of photos depicting the total of all facial types as an absolute collection.

Was your husband-to-be’s date, Jill Goodacre?

Although I grew up with the Beatles, Stones and that whole British invasion, I always liked Sinatra and these daze consider him to be the greatest pop singer of the 20th century. His “Live at The Sands” version of “One For My Baby” with only his personal pianist, Bill Miller, is beyond breathtaking.

A friend is a highly acclaimed mastering engineer in LA and I partnered with him on a 5-6 classic albums re-mastered and got listed on the album credits.

He has gifted me several Sinatra CDRs burned direct from the original master tape - he is a HUGE Sinatra fan, too.

Frank used an exceptional high quality German microphone (the iconic Telefunken/Neumann U47) on his classic albums as it recorded vocals with extraordinary clarity.

As it turned out, Jim Morrison (Doors) was another Sinatra fan. When the Doors walked into Sunset Recorders (IIRC) to record their first album, he immediately spotted that same U47 microphone he would be using at Sunset for his vocals.
