Yet another picture I don't remember.

I was wondering why we have a satellite so far away (that isn't the JWST). This page says
https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/current-satellite-missions/currently-flying/dscovr-deep-space-climate-observatory
that DSCOVR is at L1 to check for solar wind disturbances & provide early warning. The EPIC sensor is a secondary payload - providing earth images from a stable location to compare with other satellites.

A result of consolidation of the manufacturing base.

A few references to a GAO report on DOD procurement. The DOD has TWO (2) people who look at mergers and other changes of ownership - there are roughly 400 of those a year. Basically, no oversight. 
 A couple school stories from "Not the Bee"

 A couple "Colorado Sun" stories

https://coloradosun.com/2023/10/06/colorado-ozone-pollution-open-records-epa-delay/
Not sure what is really going on here. The EPA is pushing Colorado for more "fixes" on pollution reduction. Not said - with recent SCOTUS rulings - will some of this stuff go away?

 Letitia James posting on twitter

Here is a nitter link if you want to see the replies without tracking

The ridiculous claims by the AG are pretty apparent here as well.

 Bruce Schneier about an AI audio deep fake in Slovakia
https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2023/10/deepfake-election-interference-in-slovakia.html
An odd circumstance about this item where the press was supposed to be silent in the 48 hour period before an election.

Mentions China and Russia - ignoring that the US and other countries are probably doing stuff like this too. 
 A couple different views about renewable energy

Here is a PRO opinion piece at the Colorado Sun. Energy independence through renewable sources - no mention of suppressing the oil and gas industry.

 The last day of golf at Grandote Peaks golf course in Colorado. A small town course that was going to be a higher end development. Not many homes were built and the course survived bankruptcy.

The first hole has a sign asking you to climb to the back tee box. The first picture is that view. Yes, there is a bit of snow on the distant mountains. The second picture is of a par 3 hole with Grandote Peak in the distance.

 @d4f294ac @833914fe 
I heard three excuses on the NBC Nightly News for this. 

Mayorkas saying there is an immediate need for the wall. Plus the administration (not Joe?) waiving 26 laws to do the construction in Starr County TX.

Pinocchio Joe saying he is only doing so because the money was authorized by Congress - I can't stop that.

DHS Secretary - no new policy.

Plus adding Venezuela deportation flights.

For a while.

I have two coffee cups from working B-2 and F-23 (not 22). Both were stealth aircraft and were only visible on the cups when filled with a hot drink.

They are over 10yo now - both show the aircraft (and not the cloud) when cold. 
 Two more "Not the Bee" stories

Yet another look at homeless housing. Looking at a few different ways to improve the situation for people.

https://coloradosun.com/2023/10/05/oil-spill-fine-eastern-colorado-ranch/
Oil spill on a ranch - $200K fine seems low for killing off this farmer's cows. There was a berm around the well that should have contained the spill - but too small & the spill not found quickly. It does mention there is still a civil trial taking place. 
 In case you didn't notice
https://saraacarter.com/tax-payer-funded-pbs-pushes-radical-gender-ideology-90-of-the-time/
PBS promotes "radical gender ideology" 90% of the time (looking at LGBT vs traditional ideas).

The study looked at the PBS News Hour - 152 hours of coverage. About 200 minutes of gender coverage. So the numbers aren't big. But I expect that bias could be detected for many topics - not just LGBT ones - in many of the regular broadcasts. 
 Using AI to produce MDM

This talks to "political disinformation" but AI can be used to produce all sorts of stuff - much of it incorrect. 
 "bad cattitude" has some more comments about the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/did-the-pfizer-vaccine-even-really
This isn't a new problem - points to a 2005 paper about plasmids & DNA delivery.

Basically the tests by Pfizer were done with materials produced with "process 1". The production batches were made with "process 2" and is filled with all sorts of debris that can be harmful to people. 
 I didn't get the FEMA alert today. My Samsung phone (on AT&T) was on all day.

 Zombie Zoom links - beware

It should be obvious but don't send out links to Zoom meetings that include a permanent ID and password. They can be reused later by anyone who got the link - even if scraped by Google off of a web site.

Several suggestions in the story on how to avoid this problem. 
 AWeber, a company that does online newsletters removed Libs of TikTok

Some churches have been using immigrants to lead services in languages other than English.

Someone in the State Department made a mistake and put abused kids from some Central American countries into the wrong queue. To fix it, they now put them into the same queue as the clergy (above). The queue length is now 10 years ! Many clergy will have to leave the US.

Not clear how this will be fixed. 
 Today’s golf at Buffalo Dunes in Kansas. It turns out this course is also used for an Epson Tour event for the LPGA. Wasn’t set up as hard as Mystic Creek but with a steady wind wasn’t easy either. 

(Mast is getting stuck on adding photos - just text today)

The permanent grandstand gave me an idea to talk with the pro about tournaments. The course has a lot of native grasses.

Three greens are being rebuilt. It is good to see them putting work into keeping the course great.

 Here are the pictures I wanted to post about yesterday’s golf.

 Today’s golf at Boiling Springs golf course in Oklahoma. I nice course in the country.

Several hard dogleg holes and a few elevated greens with traps in front to discourage long shots at them. The first picture shows one of those greens on a hill. The second shows one of the elevated tee boxes and the view.

The rain forecast this morning came in a bit north of where I played so I had another blue sky day.

 Today in Oklahoma City. Apparently everyone was in a tournament today. The first two courses were busy with tournaments. I played at Choctaw Creek golf course for about $20 since they were repairing the greens.

The two pictures show what the greens looked like. Either a temporary green in the fairway with a large hole or the regular green in poor condition.

The rest of the course was in good condition so I still had a good time.

I’m using Mast to post the pictures and when I try to post the correct two pictures it says the media hasn’t uploaded.

I tried to work around by uploading a third and removing it. It posted the wrong pictures. Sigh.

 I played Mystic Creek golf course in Arkansas yesterday.

A beautiful and tough course - used by the LPGA for an Epson Tour event. Lots of pictures in the clubhouse and the hole markers all look like the second picture. The first picture shows a par four on the middle right and par three on the left.

The greens were really fast - my ball slowly rolled off the first green, almost into the water. I had lots of problems getting close to the hole with chip shots.

Only once.

The program manager's joke about three envelopes goes something like this.

A new manager is given three numbered envelopes. Was told open one when you get into trouble.

Gets into trouble & opens the first envelope. It says "blame your predecessor". He does that and things work out.

Another problem. Opens the envelope and it says "reorganize the team". He does that and things work out.

Another problem - the last one says "prepare three envelopes".

https://www.prageru.com/video/ep-308-dennis-prager-and-robert-f-kennedy-jr
Yeah - about 90 minutes long with some interesting discussion between the two.

A few key points
- they agree MUCH more than I would expect
- the disagreements seem to be more about side issues or assumptions

For example Dennis asks why RFK jr doesn't support Nuclear. The answer goes into several issues like
- insurance
- applying total costs (including disposal) to use fees
- subsidies - RFK jr says they are all over the place 
 Today’s golf was at Clear Creek Golf Club near Vicksburg MS. Similar to where I was at yesterday with a couple differences on the back 9.

First picture shows the tunnel to the back nine. Stay in the middle to avoid damage to your cart.
The second picture shows where you go into the dense woods for a couple holes. Must drive straight or you will lose your ball.

At least in the US.

There are even some "street view" images at some ski areas as well. IIRC, they did Crystal Mountain in WA. It may be tagged as "photo path" or "photo sphere" on the map. I just checked at Vail - they have several of the green runs in "street view".

 Today’s golf was at Woodward golf course in Bessemer AL. A golf & country club over 100 years old. Played with a couple locals early in the morning since the course fills up quickly on a Friday.

The picture is from the first tee and you can see a couple other holes to the left. Pretty typical for an old course in a big city area.

PLUS extra bonus material about Trump and retribution and other items. Damn those MAGA Republicans!

Odd that he didn't use extreme once - that only comes out in the various White House statements. 
 Vlad Tepes has several good links in two parts

 Pinocchio Joe's family & associates took in at least $24M in foreign monies
https://amgreatness.com/2023/09/29/memo-biden-family-associates-received-over-24-million-through-foreign-business-dealings/
Roughly $15M for the Biden family directly and the rest to business associates.

Apparently three House committees are doing investigations. Not covered by the MDM in any detail. 
 Feinstein did the California Democratic Party a favor.  Now they can appoint Schiff as opposed to... 
 RV living to avoid homelessness
https://coloradosun.com/2023/09/29/can-rvs-help-solve-homelessness/
This talks more about staying in an RV park or similar facility. What I see on my daily walk is a couple campers / RVs that move from time to time up and down a side street in a commercial area.

I will also guess there are far more than the 6K or so this story talks about.

I didn't read that story but another one said she put her hand on Harvey to check for a pulse - she got a bullet wound instead.

Hey Pinocchio Joe - then tell the White House staff to STOP calling Republicans "extreme" (about 100 pages) or "extreme MAGA" (about 250 pages) and APOLOGIZE.

Then maybe we will start listening to you - not as an enemy.

I've never used anything like BleachBit on a Linux or MacOS system - ever.

They do have a Linux version here
https://docs.bleachbit.org/doc/install-on-linux.html
that could use if that makes you comfortable. Or just run without it and see how it works out for you.

I thought of that but my days have been pretty busy on the road trip. Between the golf, driving, and meals - I don't have much free time to do anything else. The day I drove through Dayton was one of the few exceptions.

I may have to cut down on the driving between towns the next time I plan something like this.

I drove through Mississippi a couple days ago - somehow I missed that kind of entertainment. What I saw a LOT was a random SUV on the side or median doing speed checks. (might have been AL and not MS though)

I also remember the small towns south of Dallas that used to do similar stuff on I-35. Made like 80% of the town revenue on speeding tickets. Lasted until TX passed a law preventing that kind of income.
