Wednesday Motes, Getting Along Here

Not every day: Something in the air for animals lately. First th horses at Buckingham Palace and now, Zebra’s in Seattle. Law enforcement officers and the public in Washington state came together Sunday to take a rare hazard off the roads: runaway zebras. Despite successfully corralling three of them after they busted loose near North Bend, on the eastern outskirts of Seattle, one is still on the run. He said the animals escaped while their owner stopped to secure their trailer. The privately-owned animals were being taken to Montana. Once, while driving from Hilo to Kona, at about 5:30 am I almost drove off the road because I saw a Zebra. Seems there was a small   private ranch and he was just standing around eating. You don’t see that every day.

Suck up: Remember how recently California Gruesome Newsome treated the Chinese leaders like they were royalty. He cleaned up streets, homeless, and sidewalks. He conducted talks with the representatives of a foreign country, all the while denying he was running for a higher office. Now, after saying goodbye to the last of its pandas in 2019, the San Diego Zoo is preparing for the species to return. Tit for tat?

 Did you know: Just 4 days before Shillary was to be indicted in the Whitewater Scandal, all the documents were “destroyed”. In the Oklahoma City bombing. Do you know who was the DA in charge of that investigation? Yes, Merrick Garland. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy actions.

“Tourons”*: An Idaho man has been arrested on an alcohol-related crime and other related charges after he was accused of  kicking a bison at Yellowstone (the park not the ranch).. It appears the bison didn’t take kindly to the harassment as the kicker was hurt in the bison encounter and was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, where he was evaluated, treated and released before being taken to the Gallatin County Detention Center. I keep saying don’t mess with the fluffy cows. *TOUrest moRONS

Sometimes they are real: A toddler told her mom that “monsters” were in her closet.  The mother of three children under four years old was met with a “terrifying” surprise after she and her husband investigated why a handful of bees had flown into the attic of the couple’s North Carolina home. A thermal camera finally revealed where the bees had gone – to a massive hive they had built inside the wall of her daughter’s room, where the girl was convinced she had heard a monster of some kind lurking. Beekeepers ultimately removed tens of thousands of bees over several extractions, and a honeycomb weighing more than 100lb. Yeah, I’d say that qualified as a “monster”.

Does anyone remember what these are? Points and Plus gapping tool, and a drive chain master link. Old Old school.
