Hola ..

Just as a morning FYI .. Amazon has launched a free Movie and TV streaming service that is tied to Internet Movie Data Base (which is owned by Amazon) .. this is in addition and outside of regular Prime .. I've not tried it, so I can't really talk about it ..

IMDb Freedive: Watch TV Shows and Movies Online for Free - IMDb

EDIT :: I did take a quick look and there are some worthwhile TV shows if you've not seen them .. "Warehouse 13", "Heroes" and "Fringe" notably ..

David this is such a wonderful photo

Thanks, and wonderful subjects

Coal black is Rowan, who had 26 claws. Dark grey is Smokey, who came to live with us when one of our daughters had to move into a no-pet apartment, and he fit in like he was a littermate. Calico is Nuit, who was the mom to my avi cat (Red) and his slightly warmer toned brother, Mugs.

Yep, I think I see the Family resemblance ..

Come on, Politicians .. get your Act together .. I'm not particularly for a Wall, but hey, this Shutdown is just plain BS .. A Wall is nothing more than symbolic, it won't really solve much of anything, it will be a major disruption for all the folks that live along the Border and some of these Families have ties to that land since before Texas and the rest even became States .. so, yeah, my sympathy lies with the folks that will be directly effected ..

At the same time, 5 Billion is chicken feed if you look at Iraq, Afghanistan etc ..

You can't expect people to work for free .. there is already impact where the rubber meets the road as it relates to the FDA, the CDC and others that are supposed to be protecting us .. dot.gov Websites are not maintaining their security as they should, which helps open a door to the incessant and never ending attempts to crack our Electronic Infrastructure .. the list goes on ..

And, for what .. ?? A high level Game of Chicken, because that's all it is .. dish up a reasonable compromise and get on with it .. and Shame on every single one of you, no matter what side of the aisle you reside in ..

I just want 'them' to stop the flow of illegal immigrants (surely and certainly not legal immigrants). I don't care how they do it ... hire enough people to stand 10 feet apart along the entire border and catch them individually or build a wall, or whatever latest and greatest electronic gadgetry might help. Just get the job done. And if I've done my math correctly both sides are arguing over 0.13% of the 2019 Federal Budget.

Trump's asking $5,700,000,000.00 for the wall.
The 2019 Federal Budget is $4,407,000,000,000.00

$5,700,000,000.00 divided by $4,407,000,000,000.00 times 100 = 0.12933%

That amount is peanuts ... the damned government wastes more than that each year. This is a power struggle between the Dem's and Repub's and be damned to gov'ment workers being effected or the effect on the people of this country. Neither side wants the other side to be successful so they can maybe be beat in the next election. That's what this all seems to be about.

Darn you Willie ... you made me go political in your lounge area.

I'm very grateful and amazed we had no power loss. Lots of ice and snow on the tress still. Too cold for it to melt. We have 0 atm.
