Oh my scars and freckles! I have become a cable news junkie! I got up early yesterday morning and took the bus to care for Pip and Squeak; then I took the bus back home. By then, it was 8:30, and Bea and I walked the four blocks down to Turley's Kitchen and had breakfast, then walked back home. We then sat down and made our shopping list for the rest of the month, and set out in Christina's borrowed car. First we headed to Longmont to do shopping at both Sam's Club and the regular Wal-Mart - then home, each of us making 6 trips upstairs loaded down with boxes and shopping bags. We got that put away, then went to McGuckin's Hardware, the Neighborhood Market, and finally Safeway. Got home and brought that stuff upstairs and put away. By then it was time to go back to take care of Pip and Squeak; I used Christina's car for that second trip to see the cats. Then home again - to eat supper and be glued to MSNBC's news and political coverage, until I checked the incoming flight schedule for Denver International, and left the house at 10:30 to go pick up Christina from the airport. Back home and in bed at 1:30 this morning.... Then Pip and Squeak first thing this morning, again.
I do not like the fake President, who won a fake election with the help of Russia and Putin. I hate his guts and am afraid that, at any moment, he might start a nuclear war because he is so completely maniacal and narcissistic. However, I must say, quite honestly, that because of hos Presidency, I now know a heck of a lot more about our government and exactly how it is supposed to work. I have done a lot of research that I never thought about before regarding the checks and balances of our governing system, and the precise wording of the United States Constitution, its' amendments, and clauses. Thanks to the ineptitude of this administration, I now understand our government much better than before.
I was completely amazed by the firing of FBI Director Comey. And now the Deputy Attorney General has stated that he is not happy that the White House attributes it's decision to fire Comey to his internal Department of Justice memo. Apparently, the tiny-handed tangerine tyrant still believes that he is the COO and owner of the United States of America, and that this far-flung nation can be controlled by a 70-year-old fat man with orange skin and Big Bird colored hair. He is a complete and total joke. The United States, once a great nation, is now the laughing stock of the universe. - All because the Electoral College did NOT do it's job.
And one last, laughable item - 45 fired Comey on Tuesday night. Wednesday, he hosted the Russian Foreign Minister and the Russian Ambassador inside the Oval Office. He did not allow any journalists inside for the meeting, except TASS, the Russian government newspaper. TASS immediately shared their photos with news agencies around the world - and then the President lost his cool (not that I've ever believed he had any) and claimed that "the Russians lied to us." What a hoot! - I mean, think about it - here he is, hosting the Russian Ambassador,privately - the man whose connections with Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions caused them to be (a) recused and/or (b) fired....
The stupid bigot is totally crazy.

Forty-fifth Day of "45"
I apologize for continuing to write about the circus peanut... but he and his associates just continue to make stupid headlines in the news. Yesterday cheeto cheeks decided that President Obama had placed wire taps in Trump Tower in New York City to spy on him and his Presidential campaign, and he sent out three bellicose Tweets about it. This morning, in the forty-fifth day of his Presidency, he again had a Tweet fit, stating that the Obama administration abused its authority during the 2016 campaign, having wiretaps placed on the telephones in Trump Tower. He also threw out a quote from a meeting that Obama had with then-Russian President Medvedev (referring to a proposed missile defense system) - before the 2012 election - "Tell Vladimir that after the election I'll have more flexibility." (If you know your Russian history, then you know that Dmitri Medvedev was Putin's hand-picked successor to the Russian Presidency.)
The White House has now asked the US Congress to examine the Obama administration as a part of it's ongoing probe into Russia's influence of the 2016 Presidential election. White House spokesman Sean Sphincter stated today that neither the President nor administration officials would speak about this allegation until Congress has completed its investigation - which means no one in the White House will have to explain 45's accusations. Sphincter said in a statement, "Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling."
An Obama spokesman denied the charge, saying it was "a cardinal rule" that no White House official interfered with independent Justice Department investigations. Under US law, a federal court would have to have found that the target of the surveillance is an "agent of a foreign power" in order to approve a warrant authorizing any electronic surveillance of Trump Tower. Today, on NBC's Meet the Press, former Director of Intelligence James Clapper, who left the office at the end of Obama's term, said, "There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president-elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign."
This ridiculous plot was first mentioned by radio and TV host Mark Levin, who broadcast that Obama used "police state" tactics to monitor 45's campaign. Then Steve Bannon's Breitbart news jumped on the bandwagon. Now 45 has convinced himself that it's a huge conspiracy....
Author Stephen King had a great Tweet back, in response to the tiny-handed tangerine tyrant: "Obama tapped Trump's phones IN PERSON! Went in wearing a ConEd coverall. Michelle stood guard while O spliced the lines. SAD!" Then he sent out: "Not only did Obama tap Trump's phones, he stole the strawberry ice cream from the mess locker." And, later: "Trump should know OBAMA NEVER LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE! He's in the closet! HE HAS SCISSORS!"
Most people watching this play out agree that 45 is just trying to deflect attention from, and interest in, the investigation into his ties (and his associates connections to, and meetings with) to the Russians - before and during the campaign, and after the election before the inauguration. It's a huge ball of worms that must be carefully untangled!

Koch Industries (and the Family) - Part 2
Harry and Mattie Koch's first born son was John Anton, who worked in the family newspaper business. In 1900, Fred Chase was born. Both sons appear to have shared their father's view of politics. From 1917 through 1919, Fred attended Rice Institute; he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1922, with a degree in "Chemical Engineering Practice." Fred began working immediately after graduation from MIT for the Texas Company in Port Arthur, Texas. Soon afterwards, he was employed by the Medway Oil and Storage Company in County Kent, England. In 1925, Fred was back in the US, and invested money with his friend, and co-MIT graduate, P. C. Keith, in the Keith-Winkler Engineering Company in Wichita, Kansas. Keith sold his interest in the company to his friend, Fred Koch, before the end of 1925. At that time, the company became known as the Winkler-Koch Engineering Company.
In 1927, Fred C. Koch developed and patented a more efficient thermal cracking process, refining gasoline from crude oil, at a much higher yield-rate than any other existing process. He started to use his process, but the big oil companies filed a total of 44 lawsuits against Koch, and his company, for "patent infringement." Koch could not use his new process in the United States until the law suits ended - but he could use the new process in other countries.
Europe was still recovering from World War I. The Weimar Republic, which elected an 80% Democratic representation in Germany's 1919 election, replacing the Imperial Government, was economically weak. From 1919 until 1933 there was constant talk and negotiations between Germany and Russia to form an alliance to partition Poland between the two countries, returning their borders back to the 1914 lines. The 1929 Wall Street Crash in the United States was a crushing blow to Germany, who had planned on recovering the country's wealth through the US stock market. In 1930, another election took place in Germany, and 19% of the elected representatives were members of the National Socialist German Worker's Party (which we came to know as the Nazi party). Adolf Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany in 1933.
In Russia, Lenin had died, and Josef Stalin had come into power. Russia was, essentially, back in the Dark Ages when it came to refining crude oil. Stalin had already begun his series of Five Year Plans, and a large one was to increase oil refining capacities within the country. Between 1926 and 1929, the USSR purchased more than $20 million of United States-made oil equipment. In 1929, Winkler-Koch Engineering Company signed a contract worth $5 million to build 15 oil refineries inside the USSR. Winkler-Koch provided the equipment needed to build the plants, and oversaw the construction. The first Winkler-Koch plants (2) were set up in Tuapse in 1930. The cracking unit performed commendably and became the preferred type in Russia. In 1931, two cracking units were opened in Baku, two in Batumi, and six in Grozny. In 1932, three plants opened in Yaroslavl. Winkler-Koch made certain that they ran a tightly bound organization. Fred Koch was on-site most of the time. Koch pleased his clients by ensuring top-quality and by "helping the cause of socialism." During this time, Fred Koch became a favorite friend of one of Stalin's immediate supporters, and was wined and dined throughout the USSR. People from Russia were flown into Wichita, Kansas and given "hands on" training at the Winkler-Koch Company. Koch also trained the friendly Germans for their Russian comrades, helping to increase the outpouring of jet fuel and gasoline production for what became the Third Reich.
Fred Koch left Russia in 1933 and returned to the United States. But he and his company continued doing engineering training and oil refinery work for, and inside, the USSR until 1956. An Associated Press article in 1956 reported that Fred C. Koch and eleven prominent citizens of Wichita, Kansas "left for Moscow today, by plane, in an effort to convince the Russian people that Soviet propaganda about capitalists is untrue." Was it a business meeting that went sour? No one knows the facts anymore, but 12 big American capitalists, going to treat with the Russian people sounds like a great cover for an "under-the-covers" business deal. All we know, today, is that when Fred Koch returned to the United States, he suddenly had a great hatred for Russia and the Communist Party.

Look! Up in the Sky, It's....
Black Caviar raced in Australia today, and won her 23rd straight race, in a race named after her - the Black Caviar Lightning Stakes. The sprinter started slowly in her first race since Royal Ascot, but she won by 2 1/2 lengths, setting a new course record for 5 furlongs. The mare tore muscles and ligaments in her back during her single race in England, and it was not known if she'd be able to race again. Well... Black Caviar is back in impressive style! ..... Former Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra is still in serious condition at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital. She is still listed as being in "serious" condition, but her attending vets said that she had "brightened" yesterday, and actually wanted a mint as a treat, which she hadn't before. Best wishes to Rachel A. and her filly, now on a nurse mare at Stonestreet Farm.
Look, up in the sky! Wow. Three "close encounters" yesterday between our mother Earth and errant space debris - that was quite a surprise for the day after Valentine's Day! We all knew about the asteroid that passed between the Earth and our GPS, etc. satellites at 2:24 EST - I watched it live on NASA, myself. The surprise encounters occurred in the Ural Mountains in Russia Friday morning, and in northern California Friday evening/night. The most frightening event happened above the city of Chelyabinsk: The meteor was a once-in-a-century event, NASA officials said, describing it as a "tiny asteroid." The space agency revised its estimate of the meteor's size upward late Friday from 49 feet (15 meters) to 55 feet (17 meters), and its estimated mass from 7,000 tons to 10,000 tons. The space agency also increased the estimated amount of energy released in the meteor's explosion from about 300 to nearly 500 kilotons. By comparison, the nuclear bomb the United States dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 released an estimated 15 kilotons of energy. The whole event, from the meteor's atmospheric entry to its disintegration in the air above central Russia, took 32.5 seconds, NASA said. Reports from Russia have said that up to 1,200 people have been treated for cuts and abrasions caused by flying glass and the pure concussive force of the blast. More than 4,000 buildings received damage, and the roof of a zinc manufacturing plant collapsed from the force of the blast.
What freaked me out, was a headline that appeared a few hours after the blast, stating that US fighter jets had scrambled when two Russian bombers had appeared over Guam's air space. The last paragraph of the story explained that this had happened during President Obama's State of the Union Address on Tuesday evening, and not after the blast over Chelyabinsk. I guess I still haven't out-grown our Kindergarten and first grade training during the Cuban Missile Crisis - just goes to show how old, remembered drills and training can jump into life again.
The third encounter was seen and recorded in northern California last night - The fireball was seen around 7:45 p.m., by witnesses as far north as Fairfield and as far south as Gilroy. It was also reportedly seen in Sacramento and Walnut Creek. Folks in Monterey said it was visible along California's Central Coast, too. NBCBayArea.com said Candice Guruwaiya gave this account on Facebook of seeing it in San Jose: "I was leaving Safeway on Branham and Snell when I saw it. ... It was a bright green when it first appeared, then it went to a bright yellow. It was awesome!" An astronomer at the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland told NBCBayArea.com that Friday night's event wasn't related to the asteroid's passing: Gerald McKeegan, an astronomer at Chabot, said he did not see it, but based on accounts he thinks it was a "sporadic meteor," which can happen several times a day but most of the time happens over the ocean, away from human eyes. Sporadic meteors bring as much as 15,000 tons of space debris to Earth each year, according to McKeegan. He explained that meteors, which are hunks of rock and metal from space that fall to Earth, burn up as they go through Earth's atmosphere, which is what apparently caused last night's bright flash of light.

Fire Tuesday
It was awfully windy yesterday afternoon and evening. There were multiple wildfires in Boulder County, along with fires in other counties. The worst is outside of Evergreen, about 25 miles west of Denver (the area that Diana Mott Davidson writes about in her Goldie's catering mysteries) - one person has died in the fire, several homes have been burnt, and the fire is still completely out of control. All of the fires in Boulder county are at least 60% contained. We're expected to be hot, dry and windy through Saturday (with an estimated high of 80 on Sat.); but only 62 on Sunday... In any way, it's fire danger weather. I can smell smoke right now....
I've been having a good time with Rosie and Remy; currently my kits are outside playing in the sun. Rascal and I have been playing chase with each other, and I've given Brandi a lot of attention. Today I add Oly, Annie and Bentley into the mix. Oly had a cast put on her foreleg yesterday and is not happy about it - but her nerve sheath is torn, and the leg needs to be immobilized for the sheath to repair itself. The hens gave me a dozen eggs yesterday - and there were five different colors of eggs. Tinkerbell was asleep under the covers, as usual, when I visited her, and Twister came out for love and for his meds - he knows he doesn't feel "right" if he misses his "special food" that contains his thyroid medicine.
VT has been doing such a good job of patrolling the shopping center next to my apartment that the landlords' decided to give him a week's paid vacation, to see what would happen. Since he isn't in view, there have been 5 times the amount of calls to the local police about panhandlers, drunks, and merchants complaints against shop-lifters. I guess he's a good "enforcer." He'll be back at work tomorrow, or Thursday, he told me. I've reached Stalin's death in my history of Russia, so I have about 60 years to cover before reaching the end of the book. I have really enjoyed it. (Especially when I read that, after the Allies had won the war, Stalin was to ride a white stallion in a victory gallop across Red Square. The horse threw him twice the morning of the celebration, and Stalin was quoted as saying,"F*** this! Zhukov can ride the d*** horse!") It's little things like this that make history come alive for me.

Macho Monday
The kits are out on the patio, after each has received an extra-special long love session this morning. I spent the night with Rosie and Remy, and have since taken care of Brandi, Rascal, Twister, Tinkerbell, Obsidian, and the hens. I haven't seen VT in a few days, so I'll need to call him and let him know I've reached Stalin's Purges of 1937 and '38 in my history of Russia. I must say that Sixsmith's history is very interesting, but I occasionally wish he would go into a little more detail. (I realize that with 600+ pages of history, one has to be careful of not going into too much detail - but it just means I'll be looking up further information to answer questions that some of his statements have raised.) I had forgotten that Lenin had survived an assassination attempt, and lived the rest of his life with the bullets still inside his body. And I really enjoy the way the author pulls out interviews with relatives of famous novelists and composers, plus using released "secret" papers from 40+ years ago to show what was really happening. It's a fascinating read....
