Red Spotted Purple

My FIL passed away 1 year ago today.

My man crush - Hunter Scott (right), the hero for hero's. When he was just a kid he watched JAWS and asked questions about the USS Indy.  The small child ( 11 ) saw that things did not add up and was doing a history project and many irregularities in the Navy's details. As he grew up into his teens he started to go in front of Congress saying Captain McVay should not have been court-martialed and was used as a cover up for navy blunders.

McVay later committed suicide.  His wife passed away and she had been hiding all of the hate mail for decades. When she passed he started getting the hate mail and he took his life with his service revolver.

Hunter (pictured) is a submarine hunter in the Navy now.

In the book - because of ULTRA it seems EVERYBODY knew the Japanese sub I-58 is in the area EXCEPT the Indianapolis. The day before the USS Harris found the sub and launched hedgehogs at it for 6 hours.  Each hedgehog has 24 separate bombs that fan out in a 50 yard circle, they had the sub. 168 separate bombs and no hits. WTF?

Upon review each one was off by 10 degrees with a wrong setting. Thus - 168 misses.

Watching the Brewer game last night.  For all of the injury issues this year I tell ya - the Brewer minor league clubs are STOCKED!! Seriously. How many times can they dip into the well and get young players that actually produce.

When you turn on a game and see the bases loaded with Orf, Miller and Kratz.  Those are names you would not expect to see when the season started.

We took Gus to the dog park yesterday and saw this Red Spotted Purple or as I like to call him, a Limenitis arthemis.  He (or she, I didn't look) it is one of the most dramatic examples of hybridization between non-mimetic and mimetic populations.  YEA - who didn't know THAT!

 
Watch out, males can be aggressive . . . . .to other males it seems as they defend their woman.

Did you see FOX news blamed Mr. Rogers (this is 100% true) for ruining and entire generation of children with his propaganda?  One person LITERALLY called him evil.   this is the show  Trump watches and takes his que's from.  Pathetic.

Weather - small chance for a thunderstorm starting about 7:00 tonight as a cold front sweeps through.  We'll be in the low to mid 70's for 4 days. Good chance of rain on Sunday and Monday
