Whelp...at least I’m not pregnant as our Headmistress wryly suggested.
That certainly would’ve been interesting…

The head of a militant Islamic prison gang and three others were indicted Wednesday on federal charges of planning terrorist attacks against National Guard facilities, the Israeli Consulate and other Los Angeles-area targets.
The four conspired to wage war against the U.S. government through terrorism, kill armed service members and murder foreign officials, among other charges, according to the indictment.
Named in the indictment were Levar Haley Washington, 25, Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21, Hammad Riaz Samana, 21, and Kevin James, 29.
Prosecutors contend the plot was orchestrated by Washington, Patterson and Samana at the behest of James, an inmate at the California State Prison-Sacramento who founded the radical group Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh.
Hey, freedom of expression and a right to plot unencumbered and unSPIED on and all. I cry fowl. When their apartments we raided they weren’t looking for terrorism evidence...WHAT are we thinking?????
“I worked so hard at creating a program, and then I’ll see he’s copied something later, whether it’s a costume or a move,” Galindo, 35, the last openly gay U.S. Olympic-caliber skater to come out 10 years ago, said on the phone Wednesday from his home in Reno.
“We don’t get along so well because I have no respect for somebody who would copy me,” Galindo said. “So we’ve built up this animosity.”
“He’s drinking tea with his pinkie finger in the air, and he’s so over the top and feminine, why is everybody asking him about his ‘style and not just ask him if he’s gay?” Galindo said. “It’s the funniest thing to watch.”
This is kind of like a Bizarro Universe Ali vs. Frazier duel in the media.

Sunny and 72 degrees here in my world. Got out in the backyard to shoot some stuff with my newly aquired $20 air rifle. Raised some hell with Huck and his tennis ball. Sipped on a beer.
Got a four day weekend coming and some plans for some fly fishing.
Expecting our travel approval for our adoption any day now…
Life is good.
I have tears in my eyes.

One smaill handful pecans...slightly chopped
One HUUUGE handful garlic cloves
One 1/2 handful prunes*, cut into quarters (kitchen scissors RAWK)
about 1/2 cup good olive oil
Saute until garlic is softened and prunes/plums are soft, about 15 minutes on low (DON’T BURN anything!!)
Cook bowtie pasta according to directions, drain, and add enough olive oil to keep from sticking.
Spoon out pasta onto plates, top with big spoonful of prepared topping and sprinkle Gorgonzola cheeze crumbles on top. Regular bleu cheese is good, too....but Gorgonzola rules the world.
* I dehydrate a ton of plums every year from my friend’s tree and use themmmmmmmmmm
This web site uses facial recognition technology that scans a photo you upload and then tells you what celebrities you look like. My closest match is Richard Dean Anderson. (It also listed Natalie Portman and Grace Kelly among others - huh.)
You can skip the registration it prompts you for.
Pretty cool.
