How to tie the #ScaffoldKnots I used on my recent #Everglades2023 trip.
This is an extremely useful adjustable loop (aka "noose") knot that will resist loosening!
Note the orange pencil is there just to highlight the three loops through which you pass the working end to finish the knot!

Day 2 - Rabbit Key - #Everglades Trip
A whimsical collection (spiral?) of #HorseshoeCrabs on the beach. 🙂
Aside: My old Hobie MirageDrive® decided to fail by this point. The second photo shows my evolving field repairs. #DuctTape failed after an hour, so I switched to rope. The ultimate solution... bits of plastic water bottle secured with #scaffoldknots.

Thank you for the graph. I'll add a bit of context...
1) Before #RFK came along to spread his particular noisome fear, uncertainty, & doubt (#FUD) -- #Measles was effectively extinct in the #US. None, Nada, Kaput! This was something to be proud of! 👍
2) Unfortunately, the disease was/is NOT extinct from the world at large. In 2023 the #WHO estimated there were 10.3 million new cases. 🙁
3) In the past twenty years, there have been sporadic measles cases in the US, but these were always tied to an unvaccinated person who had recently lived in or traveled from a foreign country. There were NO spontaneous domestic cases.
4) Until the world gets its act together to wipe-out measles, there will always be new sources for the disease. The only thing that has changed is we have let our collective guard down--and measles is just waiting to infect, disable, & and kill our children. ☠️
👉 #Vaccinate your children! Measles is 100% preventable! 👈
Here is a good place to start for anyone wishing to do a deep dive on this topic...

John Sturges – „The Great Escape“ (1963)
Ein amerikanischer Kriegsfilm, der insbesondere in Großbritannien zu einem ewigen Dauerläufer wurde – und das, ausgerechnet, zu Weihnachten. Keine Frage, alleine die Besetzung mit Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, James Coburn und Hannes Messemer ist selbst heutzutage noch ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal, das seinesgleichen sucht. (ARTE)

This evening's viewing distraction: classic 1960s #horror with The Devil Rides Out. Christopher Lee in a Dennis Wheatley based yarn, adapted by the great Richard Matheson for Hammer.

>Iran is empowered and, because a school was hit, has an argument that it is entitled to reparations.
I agree, but more likely general reparations will take the form of "tolls" for passage of the Straight of Hormuz, yes?
>The political situation is lose-lose as well.
>If Congress steps in, the war can be framed as "thwarted success." Trump. blames Congress for not letting him finish and “win.”
>If Congress ties Trump’s hands, it owns the resulting mess.
>If Congress refuses to step in, the war continues and the power of the Executive Branch continues to expand at the expense of the Legislative Branch.
Not sure I'd call this "lose-lose". The first two items are matters of "perception" only. This would be a major "stand up to #Trump moment", at least for #Dems. The perception of Dems as a party is already way down. It could help IMO.
Second, a more obvious issue is hinted in your third point. We have a #Constitution & #Laws for a reason. While there is some ambiguity, there is actually a Right Way to do things in the US most of the time. Shutting down an illegal #war is the right thing to do. It will save both $$ and lives in the long run. If this is perceived as "losing" then so be it!

This from Larry Wall (of Perl fame) seems relevant...
The Three Virtues [Paraphrased]
1) #Laziness - The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure.
2) #Impatience - Because you are impatient, you will build systems and shortcuts for your daily work.
3) #Hubris - You have the confidence that you can do better than the status quo.
