Journalists are much maligned, especially at the Çats, and often justifiably so, but I’m impressed with those that have the ability to take in multiple sources and distil them into a comprehensive and compelling narrative on a time budget.
Shout out to Rita Panahi who, writing for News, took on multiple topics and developed her craft after/while having an earlier career already in place.

Seconded, Ted. You all know I’m lurking and reading and mulling over the comments.
I’ve enjoyed the work of some of the Cats here for more than ten years, and learned so much, and found courage to type up my opinions.
And the (relatively) new ones – love the contributions. A whole new flavour of thought like the gelato freezer. Hard to choose which one is best.

I had an online work meeting today, a Sydney colleague advised that he’d been unavailable at times this week due to medical tests. Said he was diagnosed with myocarditis following the shot, and needed to make sure he was ok to get the booster scheduled for tomorrow.

On September 25, 2021 a Search and Recovery Dive Team “Adventures With Purpose” arrived in Marine City, Michigan taking on the 4 month old missing persons case of Nadine Moses.
This is the Behind the scenes account of how this case was solved, but when the vehicle was finally pulled up out of the water and Nadine was confirmed inside, one question remained. Why is the car so damaged?
We had never seen a car so flat from a boat ramp accident.
Watch to the end for the answer.

Not only has the Covid vax been an unprecedented worldwide experiment, it is also wholly uncontrolled, so there is very little hope of sorting out the truth in the long run.

Well said, TN.
My dislike of this kind of nouveau riche drivel goes back to when I first commented at Sinc’s – about ten years ago. In those days, there was a lot of boasting about diamonds, interspersed with Angela’s Ashes in western Sydney and how the brave, brilliant and beautiful heroine rose to consorting with The Highest in the Land and scored a rich husband. It was revolting, and I said so.
Thankfully, there is not a trace of this kind of vulgar, ill bred behaviour here. 🙂

Sorry, can’t link but have just seen a vid taken near Kirribilli and Admiralty Houses, Cockatoo Island on the Parramatta River which shows lots of army tents and such. Speculation as to what’s happening. Some think big arrests about to happen. My guess, additional security. One to watch. Not much more detail in the vid and commentary. Hoping.

PM Morrison out and about on the campaign trail visits a salon in a Labor electorate and washes a lady’s hair.
You’d have to feel uncomfortable letting a prime minister of any party or gender or age in their very dignified and important role washing your hair for a picture or actually anyone but a hairdresser etc do that personal service. Even if you don’t particularly like them or their policies, best the PM maintains the normal dignified position or am I old fashioned?
Good grief, would he be participating in other personal activities in salons. The women’s vote is obviously very important. His group of advisors said go out and do a “female” job to get the female vote, and so he did.

First 10 from a list of 20.
Doc Coleman:
This is a long standing series of small items which have caught my eye or mind and which seem relevant, startling, amusing or all three. Occasionally, items which appear here may return as a longer piece. Mostly they will not.
Passing Observations 85
1) Word processing software, search engines, computers and the internet are all clumsy, clunky crap. If bicycles were as badly designed they’d fall apart at the first push on the pedals. Software is counter-intuitive and annoying and so difficult to use that most of it seems to have been put on the market without being finished. Search engines are commercialised and therefore unreliable and useless.
2)‘There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path’ – The Matrix.
3)In 1945 the Government in the UK needed (and built) 750,000 new homes. If a Government today could do that it would solve the UK’s housing crisis in a year. But that was 1945 and we’ve made a lot of progress since then so everything takes a lot longer.
4)The quick way to see if a film is worth watching is to see if The Guardian newspaper has given it a good review. We never watch anything which has been praised by The Guardian.
5) After World War II, food rationing continued in the UK until 1954. In Germany, food rationing ended with the war. And you thought Britain won?
6)‘Caring should be felt not heard’ – Sally Vickers.
7) In France, you won’t be allowed into a restaurant if you aren’t jabbed. And if you are jabbed you will still need a negative test result too. (Presumably, because the French authorities recognise that the jabs don’t work. Who’s going to tell them that the tests don’t work either?)
8) The world’s debt is now over $300 trillion. That is three times the world’s GDP. If interest goes to 5% the interest on the world’s debt will be $15 trillion a year.
9) A 31-year-old man has been refused a heart transplant because he won’t allow doctors to give him the experimental, toxic covid-19 jab that doesn’t do what people think it does.
10)Fashion designer Stella McCartney took just under £2.7 million in salary in the year to the end of 2020. In the same year her business took nearly £850,000 in furlough money.

F15 strike eagles out of RAF Lakenheath hitting the ‘low fly’ in the Mach loop on one of my favourite hills. The Spur is a great location for a bit of wing vapour providing there’s enough humidity in the air. The best photography results come when the weather is a little overcast with clouds covering the sun. Too many clouds can result in the pilots aborting the low level exercise and staying above the clouds. Never fails to get great results when all goes well.
