The Susquehanna River as it flows through Asylum Township in Bradford County PA.
Purty, ain't it? Click the photo for a larger view or see full size image and photo credit here: Wiki Commons
About twenty miles to the east is Dimock, PA (in Susquehanna County) where hydrofracking has become a big problem (water from kitchen faucets catching fire and so forth). So, when some smug blowhard begins rattling the "drill baby drill" shibboleth... this is what the countryside - the oil & gas company parasites want to turn into a toxic sewer - looks like.
Just sayin.

blogger eating comments again?
Not that i know of. I just figured the lack of comments was because everyone had better things to do. Have you had problems posting comments?
Also too: If you mail a pic best to make sure its in JPG or JPEG file format in order to email it.

Shall We Go To The River.....
caught a little bullshit-speak on whatever channel covers rich tightasses fuckin' with the stock market every time they hear their gravy train may have brakes..
some assclown host protesting about gazillionares having their taxes increased to less than Reagan-ere rates-
"50% of the people in this country pay no Federal taxes as it is!"
Subtract a third of that for those at the Defined Poverty level, another third for those who should be included in it, and the remainder evenly divided between those who have enough deductions and them that knows how to game the system, gazillionares included.
"The middle class is paying in only 50% of what they did in 1980!"
Yeah; take away the child care credit, and see what happens. Also, check with their State gov't and see how much more they're paying in since 1980.
How can .3% of the working population leverage themselves into a position that gets supported by the very rednecks they aim to bend over?
i pay FICA tax on my meager earnings. the wealthy rite can go...... be celibate.
..with themselves, pansy. Or with their ilk. With the likes of them.
I'd rather be paying for a National health care system off my check, instead of the "catastrophic Care for 90+% of the price of real insurance" shit we have thru work.
I'd sooner give up my $13/wk "tax break" if anyone had the proverbial balls to get serious about deficit reduction or revenue generation etc, than see the endless extension of tax loopholes re:corporate welfare.
But those things could be seen as a win for Obama, therefor they are Non-Starters with the duly-elected fiscal conservatives popping out of the woodwork.
Brother, can you spare a Billion?
how much money do they NEED? the meeeedia can go...GET E.D!
I'd rather be paying for a National health care system off my check,
could move to Vermont. they have a state run single payer system. the affordable care act (Obamacare) also contains provisions which allow for multi state not for profit systems (like Vermont) or a national not for profit system to be run by the office of personnel management. this pretty much flew under the radar with all the squawking about the public option but its there in the ACA legislation. essentially states could develop a multi-state non-profit/single payer sytem like Vermonts. Bernie Sanders did note this during the ACA fight but most everyone including the wingnuts and the media didn't notice (probably for the better). But it's there for the building on.
sorry about the lack of a new post. got the goat pics but haven't had time to post anything because of other bullshit going on lately (getting ready for the winter, etc). i can't get to my firewood stash because the flooding turned the road into a stream-bed with deep mudholes and i still have 5-6 cords of wood to cut and split before winter gets here. stuff like that.

so the states can lead. less media attention.
Late to the party, but gosh, that's lovely. If I weren't constitutionally unable to endure temperatures below 65 degrees, I'd move to a beautiful spot like that in a heartbeat.
snow bird? if only humans could migrate.
pansy- it's too bad that the things we want to see go forward are getting taken down a few levels recently, via (R) states leading the way.
I'm getting tired of living off crumbs from rich folks and career politicians.
Hope it dries out a tetch by you soon, farmer. We could use at least a weekend of dryness ourselves.
we need to kill zombie ayn rand along w/ zombie reagan and kill zombie GWB before he can come out of the grave.
that means killing the gnews too.
pansy-that sort of hero worship is sponsored by people who have their own best interests in their non-beating hearts.
Pretty bad when Reagan's family shows up to ask what the hell the latest litter of (R) candidates are talking about at Dad's library.
"if you're Al-Q, we'll hunt ya down anywhere, anytime--- unless a (D) holds the office, and then they're overstepping their bounds".
So now we're nostalgic about (R)ecession and 9/11? Those were the Good Old Days?
I think they mean the 1780s or 1880s. But their base doesn't remember what went on last week, much less a century or two ago.
the publikklans have been replaced by pod people.
