I suppose that you know that they ‘re-energized’ the hospital and nearby plus parts of Brunswick Basin. Downtown GV perhaps?
Expect much talk about NID putting together a local grid which will magically solve the problems (and likely never happen). Expect handwaving about ‘global warming’ which, true or not, does nothing to deal with the power issue. Expect arguments about what constitutes ‘wind’.
Be amazed by Nevada City’s inability to provide emergency power for the cops while spending plenty o’ dosh on ‘studying’ 5G, at least until the correct result is achieved.
Once again I’ll ponder the inability of the cell towers (and to some degree, landlines) to be able to withstand outages. It’s one of those cases where I would apply the heavy hand of .gov, the old AT&T system was pretty darned bulletproof. You can also make some similar argument for gas station permits. Communications and Getting Out of Dodge in a sketchy situation matter more than whether Safeway keeps it’s ice cream cold, although the inability for stores to operate sans power (due only to inoperable registers) is rather silly.
I’m still waiting for the five-day cutoff to really test how testy people can get.

That bear lard is killer stuff. It never spoils, never goes bad, and never needs refrigeration. Perfect. It’s the best stuff in the world for country cooking. Momma’s little baby loves shortin bread.
The other great thing about bear is their hides make the best chaps in the world. You can be out there on horseback or riding a bike in the most fierce hail-rain-snow storm and those babies will keep your legs nice and dry. Waterproof and nothing beats bear chaps. Waste not want not.
I’ll give you a little hint about your skunk stew. Take some sugar and sprinkle it on the inside of the skunk hide and you won’t get that smell like the Frenchy Pepe Pierre, if you catch my drift. Then you can dry the skunk hides and send them to the hatmakers back East. Of course those were the days before Biker Bill. You should have heard what they called me back then.
Country Living tip #2: mix in some baking soda with your beans and you won’t get any breeze. No Blazing Saddles campfire scene music.
I best not send you my possum pie recipe because of that horrible possum incident in our community a few years ago. Front page news. I don’t want those PETA women coming after me, no sir. Peta does have the best commercials though, I will give them that.

Ooops, we didn’t mean to tell the truth!! qup no! –
Echoing the testimony of impeachment inquiry witnesses, the Times acknowledged Wednesday that Ukraine was not aware the United States was withholding aid until days after the July 25 call, in August.
In other words, Trump did not threaten to withhold aid during the infamous conversation between him and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25.
Zelensky himself has acknowledged that “there was no blackmail” during the call, citing as evidence that he “had no idea the military aid was held up” at the time of his July 25 phone conversation with Trump, the Times conceded.
The Times article is just the latest sign that Democrats and their liberal mainstream media backers are trying to move beyond the July 25 call that triggered the impeachment.

Yes Bill!!! There WILL be Possum! Let the Possum people cry!
First, find a Possum DOA. Goodyear fresh is even better.
1 5 lb. possum; cut into serving pieces
water
Salt
12 peppercorns
2 ribs celery; chopped
2 carrots; quartered
2 cups flour
4 egg yolks
6 tbsp. hot water
(Often served to unsuspecting bed-and-breakfast tourists in Amish country)
Place possum in kettle. Add water to cover, salt to taste, peppercorns, celery, carrots and onion. Simmer until possum is thoroughly tender, about two hours.
Strain broth and pour into clean kettle. Simmer while preparing remaining ingredients.
Remove possum from bones. Discard bones and skin. Cut possum into bite-size pieces.
Sift flour and one-half teaspoon salt together onto board. Make well in center and put egg yolks into it. Gradually work yolks into flour until stiff dough is formed, adding hot water as needed. Knead until smooth, about five minutes.
Cut dough in half. Roll each half until paper thin. Cut dough into noodles about one inch wide. Add possum to simmering broth. Gradually add noodles.
Continue boiling until noodles are done, about five minutes.

Quotes from The Great Divide
Upright: “This whole concept of political correctness — you can say this, you can’t say that, you can’t repeat what someone said — is total foolishness and it’s going to destroy our nation. And we need to be more mature than that.” —Ben Carson
For the record: “It’s a non-story that Obama pushed countries to redefine marriage or embrace the killing of unborn children as a price of U.S. aid. It’s a non-story that Joe Biden made an explicit quid pro quo involving $1 billion of U.S. aid for the firing of a prosecutor investigating the company that employed his son. But it’s an outrage, an impeachable offense even, that Trump wants to get to the bottom of the corruption that occurred in 2016.” —Gary Bauer
Food for thought: “So Trump can’t use the word ‘lynching,’ but it’s okay for the Left to call him Hitler?” —Ryan Fournier
Policy: “Republicans in the Senate need to pass legislation banning the chemical castration of children. Let Democrats in the House come out in defense of the barbaric practice publicly if they want. Absolute winner of an issue for Repubs. And more importantly it’s the right thing to do.” —Matt Walsh
The BIG Lie: “You know, Donald Trump inherited a strong economy from Barack and me. Things were beginning to really move. And just like everything else he’s inherited, he’s in the midst of squandering it.” —Joe Biden
Braying jackass: “I’m going to start by reversing the Trump tax cuts. … [The] wealthy didn’t need them in the first place.” —Joe Biden
Grand delusions: “When we [enact universal healthcare], there are no more premiums. You’re not paying anymore premiums. No more co-payments. No more deductibles. No more out-of-pocket expenses. And virtually every person in this country will save money on healthcare.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders
Race bait: “Let’s review the record. First on diversity and inclusion — Facebook has utterly failed. Facebook’s executive ranks and workforce continue to be mostly white and male.” —Rep. Maxine Waters
And last… “If you don’t think it’s child abuse to chemically castrate a sweet innocent child … by forcing him to take puberty blocking medication that is given to CONVICTED SEX OFFENDERS, then I don’t know a more diplomatic way to say this… you are a monster.” —Liz Wheeler

So the socialist dem group attack machine wants to flay Trump for saying –
President Donald Trump made a startling statement Friday afternoon while boasting about how he believes he handled his widely-condemned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Northern Syria – a move that had opened the gate to ethnic cleansing of America’s now-former allies, the Kurds.
“We’ve taken control of the oil in the Middle East, the oil that we’re talking about, the oil that everybody was worried about. We have the U.S. control of that,” Trump said, minutes after concluding a talk with the first two women astronauts to participate in an all-women spacewalk.
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/10/trump-blurts-out-a-startling-statement-weve-taken-control-of-the-oil-in-the-middle-east/
YET BACK IN THE REAL WORLD THE FACT IS —-
(AFP) – The US said Thursday it would beef up its military presence to protect northeastern Syria oil fields as Kurdish forces abandoned several positions to comply with a deal allowing Damascus, Ankara and Moscow to carve up their now-defunct autonomous region.
“The US is committed to reinforcing our position, in coordination with our SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) partners, in northeast Syria with additional military assets to prevent those oil fields from falling back to into the hands of ISIS or other destabilizing actors,” a Pentagon official said in a statement.
The official did not provide any numbers or confirm reports that US armoured assets would stay by the oilfields, once used to fund the Islamic State group’s short-lived “caliphate”.

Morning Quotes from the Great Divide
Observations: “What we have is a rogue Democrat Party in the House of Representatives that’s using the institution of the House and the impeachment clause to interfere with the 2020 election. They’re interfering with the 2020 election more than the Russians did, more than Ukrainians did, even though that was bad enough, and they’re using our tax dollars to do it.” —Mark Levin
No doubt: “If [Republicans] were doing this [closed-door impeachment], you would be beating the s—t out of all of us.” —Sen. Lindsey Graham to the Leftmedia
Friendly fire: “I don’t know what’s going on in those closed doors. We as members of Congress do not have access to the information that’s being shared. I think the American people deserve to know exactly what the facts are, what the evidence is being presented as this inquiry goes on.” —Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
Non sequitur: “All the facts must come out and those who are attempting to obstruct this fact-finding inquiry may regret the day when they said all they want to do is open up the process. Our Republican friends may get what they wished for — all the facts coming out.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Foreign interference: “We have to work at the state and local level in terms of making sure that these voter ID laws are not passed, making sure that we have … monitors, lawyers, people watching the polls all the time, I personally want to ask the UN to come in. I’ve observed elections all over the world, and I think right now we need election observers from all over the world coming to monitor and to look at these tactics.” —Rep. Barbara Lee
Déjà vu: “Under my plan, if you negotiated an agreement for healthcare with your employer, union, or otherwise, and you like it because you’ve given up wages to get it, you can keep it.” —Joe Biden
More freebies: “It is a moral stain on our country that we have half a million or more people facing homelessness. … In a few weeks, we are going to introduce our ‘Homes For All’ legislation, which will, hopefully, guarantee a home for everyone.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar
Non compos mentis: “The people that are producing climate change, the folks that are responsible for the largest amount of emissions, or communities, or corporations, they tend to be predominantly white. … We can’t act as though the inertia and history of colonization doesn’t play a role in this.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
And last… “The ones who were the loudest voices in spreading the Russian collusion hoax now also seem to be the ones most determined to prevent the truth about its origins from coming to light.” —Rep. Mark Meadows

re RobertC 948am – Yes indeed, Trump put the country into such dire straits that the Dems are going through impeachment histrionics in order not to allow him to run again in 2020. The real tragedy for the Dems and thereality on the ground – both nationally and internationally – is that Americans cannot be trusted to throw him out next November; that has to be attempted through fabricated Star Chamber composed articles of impeachment.
