For a while my monitors have shown that Russia and China were reading this blog.  Now it suddenly shows they are not. ???

Between the time that media and governmental people know things and the time when they can be confirmed enough to be released, there is a period when those "in the know" drop clues.  That's where we are.  We've been in this gap a lot when there are hints, but no proof.  Comey kept telling us that's where he was.

Over the weekend the new cases of Covid-19 in this county doubled from 4 to 8.  This doesn't show up on rez records that I know of, but does on Pondera County.

The part of the Blackfeet rez that is in Pondera County is the location of the irrigation complex, a major source of profit.  Likewise, the part of the rez that used to be rez, is in Glacier County.  It's the location of many oil wells.  The separations and overlaps of jurisdictions were political, of course, rather than rational.

The attack raccoons on the White House lawn are funny but their behavior is atypical, meaning they could be rabid.  If they bite someone, that person must have shots unless the specific animal can be caught, quarantined, and usually sacrificed to look for rabies in its brain.  They're cute animals but a big male raccoon can take down a dog.

The LIEAP program for low income seniors sent a man to look over my situation.  Luckily, he likes cats.  He thinks he can fit a gas wall furnace into the wall of my kitchen, which would work well.  No need for gas piping in my crawl space at all.
