So we shot down the balloon. What will they find?

The Horse @TheHorse (171076) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Feb

So I gather we shot down the Chinese weather and spy balloon today. I am glad that they waited until it was over the Atlantic Ocean. Will we learn anything new from the balloon? I have no clue. Would the US admit it is it...

I Have Very Serious Questions

Namelesss @Namelesss (3479) • United States 3 Feb

It's tax season here in the US or A. I'm thinking since taxes was originally only ever meant to be temporary (boy did that get out of hand) could all US citizens simply refuse to pay it? Another question, could we claim the US...

koopharper I think taxes are a necessary evil. Someone has to pay to fix the roads and other programs. I don't object to political leaders feeding themselves and their families. Sending money to other countries and people as freebies though is not something I approve...

Now We Seem to Have Conspiracy Theories About Egg Production

deleriousinIdaho51 @celticeagle (142498) • Boise, Idaho 2 Feb

I like eggs So many delicious dishes can be fixed with eggs. How about ham and eggs? Or quiche? A nice omelet or tasty egg salad? There is a lot to be said about eggs. But lately, the price of a dozen of the little gems has...

koopharper I've heard a popular Youtuber go off on this and I kind of question how much he knows about chickens. He said that people have noticed that their hens slowed egg production in September and they stopped by November. That's actually normal in small home flocks....

koopharper Good thing they prevented fraud on the card but too bad he had to wait that long on hold. Sounds like they got a big rash of this all at once.

What are you having for breakfast on this rainy and cool Friday morning?

The Horse @TheHorse (171076) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Feb

I just gobbled up the last "inch" of my burrito from the other day, along with three slices of bacon. That should keep me going through a two hour morning helping out at my friend's day care. Outside it is raining lightly, as it...

koopharper The cold is on its way here. I have to go and wrap the water pipe which I'm half expecting to freeze anyway. It's a pain to thaw it back out. Hope I get lucky and it stays working.

koopharper Forest fires are scary and do a lot of damage. The little town we live in is largely abandoned because of a big one back in the fifties. It destroyed the local logging businesses and did a great deal of damage to the local farms. Our nearest neighbor says his...

Chinese Spy Balloon?

Jo Ann @akalinus (37600) • United States 3 Feb

For the last several days, a mysterious balloon has been floating over Montana. The object hovered over nuclear silos. It is the size of three buses and has heavy equipment dangling off of it. US officials think it is a Chinese...

koopharper Chinese officials can say what they want. It's a spy balloon. I believe that they sent it as a provocation more than anything else because I don't believe they can really detect anything that way that they don't already know.

Have you thrown a book away midway?

Xavier Bage @franxav (13302) • India 3 Feb

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (149068) • United States 8 Jan

koopharper Interesting to see how this all gets sorted out. I'm rooting for the Raiders in this one. I'd like to see the Bills go all the way unless, of course, they are facing the 49ers in the Superbowl. Diehard 49ers fan but the Bills technically are my home team...

crossbones27 @crossbones27 (45759) • Redlands, California 7 Jan

koopharper I understand the concept of an outdoor cat for mice control but they do need shelter from the weather. Farm cats are welcome in the barn. We have an outdoor feral cat that we feed regularly. He sleeps under our camp or in the greenhouse/shop. He's more than...

koopharper I organized a bicycle tour many years ago and our support vehicle never showed up. We were able to ride without it but no one ever explained to me why it didn't show. It was frustrating and I was a little bit cross with everyone involved.
