If I was a Trump style crony "Dictator Wannabe for a Day", the ridiculous use of power I'd engage in would be to force Geico to kill that fucking lizard!
I can't stand those commercials.
Using my corrupt power for a day to banish that lizard from existence seems a fine Dictator move.

It did look better in person (almost ALWAYS the case), but again, the orange (pumpkin) with blue really killed what I was trying to do as far as the photo was concerned.
Other Star Wars carvings of mine have generally come out better.

I carved this scene into a pumpkin. One of my very few photo failures.
This is where I learned that Blue is the opposite of Orange on the color wheel.
I had both blue and red LED lights inside. It looked better in person but no chance of seeing the red and and blue colors on a photo.

Random development toy advice from a grandfather:
Puzzles with numbers (for sequence of putting the puzzle together). It really helps babies think through how puzzles work!
Like its an amazing development toy!

The CIVICUS Monitor now rates the United States as Yellow: Obstructed Civic Space.
The US is no longer the "Leader of the Free World."

The US is NO LONGER RECOGNIZED AS A FREE COUNTRY!

Nice! Always love finding DS9 fans.
Here's a couple more Borg ones from like a decade and half ago.
I actually found a largely square-ish pumpkin. I'm like, "That's a Borg Ship!"

Thanks! I love playing with textures. Each pumpkin allows different things based on its consistency, water content, skin dryness, etc.
Definitely have had fun with Star Trek over the years including DS-9 and that wormhole thing.

Bakshi's Fire and Ice is the one you want to watch.
The cheese is larely gone. Its his best rotoscoping, and I love the inclusion of Frazetta's Death Dealer.

A short follow-up from the metamaterials section just a bit later. This plus programmable matter in the matamateials may be the basis for shape changing behavior.

As Hal Putoff has shared in some podcasts, Lacatski's 3rd AAWSAP write-up seems to indicate that we've made more progress on metamaterials re-engineering than any other NHI Tech area.
It appears as if the NHI have a metamaterial-based Klingon-style cloaking device operating in our skies.

In the early 80s, My father and I used to play an Avalon Hill game called Alexander the Great. It was a recreation of his third battle with Darius and the Persians.
It was all in the set-up. Phalanxes were dominant.
Good times. Really fun game.

If I feel qualified to judge someone, unless there is an immense sin involved that overshadows their life, judging their life contributions in their entirety make lots more sense.
Vallee has cleared that bar in the UAP field like few others, regardless of his decisions in later life.

My 55 gallon tank is settling in well.
I need more algae and wood bacteria growth before bringing in a pleco.
I'm also planning to add a colony of Bolivian Rams, micro earth eaters to help clean the sand.
And finally a rainbow shark. But much later.

From New Insights.
Folks should be talking about the AAWSAP findings lots more. Most don't seem to know they're out.

The Air Force, CIA, Dept. Energy and national security establishment have been lying sacks of shit on the UFO issue since the beginning.
Over 15,000 cases in Project Sign, Grudge and Bluebook and "nothing to see" in any of those reports???
Fuck off and stop lying to the American people!
