American Robin / Back Neck Feathers Missing / Molting? - Photograph

I took those photographs through a window at my house this past week. A group of American Robins was in my yard, looking for worms and other food. Yet several of them were all missing their back neck feathers. I'm assuming they were molting, but for several of them to be missing their feathers in the same area at the same time seemed a little odd.

"T Stands For Teddy And Sip Sip Hooray Tea" - Photograph

I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.

This is my summation of the past week months:

Teddy will be serving double duty as my main image plus as my "T-Day ticket" for my T-Day posts.

At the beginning of the year, Teddy and I took a break from most of our usual blogger site visits and activity. In the first week of May, I was planning on rejoining Tea Tuesday, because we missed the T-Gang (as I affectionately like to call the group). 

Unfortunately, that is when I suffered a thumb / hand / wrist strain type injury that sidelined me from a lot of things. Many two handed tasks became difficult or impossible to do. And I'm not complaining, because there are many who have much worse health problems than I do.

Typing on a keyboard was mostly reduced to a slow one finger hunt and peck style. The injury recovery has been slow, also, but it has been steadily improving over the weeks that turned into months. When I was initially able to type again, my wrist would quickly start to ache and feel strained, limiting how much typing I could do before needing to stop. I think I am finally able to type well enough for long enough that I'll be able to leave comments for everyone (as opposed to a copy/paste same message for everyone, which I don't like doing). I'm still not 100% recovered, with some motions still causing pain, but I am almost back to normal.

For those who may remember Teddy's frequent use of hybearbole, he claims he has been doing "all" of the work around the house for the past several months, including, but not limited to: cooking, cleaning, laundry, mowing, etc. Teddy said the conditions here have been unbearable, and that "the cat" gets to sleep all day, while Teddy does all of the work. ;-)

False Flag Alert 2021/09/18 #2

This is Warning #2 from the False Flag Alert Early Warning System (FFAEWS): Due to the withdrawal of France's ambassador to the United States, the FFAEWS puts Saturday, September 18, 2021 at a 50% chance of a False Flag Event (FFE) occurring in Washington, DC, United States. Although the "official" reason for France withdrawing their ambassador from Washington, DC is said to be due to the scuttling of France's nuclear submarine deal by three of the Five Eyes (US, UK, Australia, aka AUKUS), "unofficial" wild rumors and speculation that General Mark Milley provided France with advanced warning about "something" have elevated the False Flag Fever.

As with all potential FFEs, be aware of your surroundings at all times, and be mindful of agent provocateurs, undercover Government agents (i.e. FBI) creating entrapment cases, etc., in crowd situations.

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My satirical words in this post and my art piece are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

"GM Bolt" - Postcard

Back in 2008, General Motors (GM) was one of the companies deemed "too big to fail" by the US Government. Other companies weren't as fortunate to receive American Tax Payer money handed to them by our "representatives", to bail them out of their economic hardships.

-----

Anyone planning on attending the "Justice for J6" rally in Washington, DC on Saturday, September 18, 2021 is advised against driving a GM Bolt into the general area that day. Unnamed sources at the [redacted Government agency name] said LEOs may treat the occupants of the vehicle as terrorists attempting to bring a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) to the rally, due to the 50 feet safety radius that is now recommended, by the vehicle's manufacturer, GM, when parking the vehicle. Those same unnamed sources also said that Ford Pinto owners may be treated as "misinformation" spreaders if they don't leave past history in the past.

"White Cat" - Postcard

(Click on image to enlarge)

Name: Catturd ™

Description: White cat wearing black glasses

Don't let this artist's rendition cute and cuddly portrait fool you: this Cat Of Interest (COI, pronounced coy) is clever.

As a direct result of Catturd's unauthorized "network disruption efforts" that only our Partners like Facebook, etc. are allowed to do, it appears that the "Justice for J6" rally is at risk of being cancelled, due to his D³ tactic of making "False Flag" innuendos about it. The US Government spent a lot of time and tax payer money in preparation for this event.

We have observed a pattern of Catturd deploying the D³ tactic (disrupt, degrade, and destroy, aka D³) to cut short, and sometimes even cancel, certain "events" that were gaining traction in the US news cycle.

While we can neither confirm nor deny that the "Cliché Cleetus Incident" was a False Flag, we do acknowledge the fact that once Catturd successfully got "False Flag" trending on social media that day, the incident came to an abrupt end with "Cleetus" surrendering.

Due to Catturd's inexplicable popularity, our standard character assassination smear tactics won't work on him.

We would like to meet with Catturd, at a neutral litter box of his choosing, to have a "friendly discussion" to find out how, moving forward, we can convince him to stop thwarting us. We will be bringing catnip, kitty litter, and cash, and hope we can come to some mutually acceptable agreement.

Cordially,
[redacted Government agency name]

And if John [McCain] wants to disagree with this, he can let me know, that, if the United States has Al Qaida, [Osama] bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out [in Pakistan]."
