OBSESSED WITH DOOM, GRETA HAS GONE BUST

Sky News Australia----Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the Greta Thunberg cult has “gone bust”. “A mere child, full of rage, obsessed with doom, totally devoid of any practical solutions – but here she was lecturing the world on how to fuel their 21st century economies,” Mr Bolt said. “Thunberg is now a victim of her own success in scaring people into doing very, very stupid things that we're now paying for.”  MORE AT

QUADRUPLE VAXXED JILL BIDEN TESTS POSITIVE AGAIN, APPARENT REBOUND COVID

Closing this post to comments.....for obvious reasons......First lady Jill Biden has once again tested positive for COVID-19 in a “rebound” case of the virus, her office said in a statement Wednesday.  The statement added that Biden “has experienced no reemergence of symptoms” and will remain in isolation in Delaware. The White House said that President Biden, who returned to Washington Wednesday morning after spending much of the previous two weeks in South Carolina and Delaware, had tested negative earlier in the day. However, the administration has previously said that the president was considered a close contact of his wife and would wear a mask for 10 days when indoors and around others.

“Well, I don’t think it’s forever irreparably damaged anyone.”

As always, some wonderful new finds, oldies but goodies, special requests and more....click on the photos and links.

Yes...some of us are in Halloween house making mode.  Check out this fantasy roofed number from Craft with Bee: I Built Two Houses

Love the roof lines---very reminiscent of Who-Ville.

And the textures and patterns are just wonderful.

Next up---an oldie but goodie from Paul Race and Howard Lamey---Over the last couple of years, we've issued graphics (and Howard's instructions) for making seasonal structures in the style of century-old lithographed tinplate originals. These were scaled to work with "Indoor trains." The "S scale" version was the most popular because it looks better with most O gauge trains and accessories and with most holiday villages.

Some of our Large Scale (Garden Train) readers were jealous that we only did the Halloween and Christmas storefronts in "indoor scales," so I went back and made larger versions that are visually compatible with the buildings that garden railroaders traditionally use. In the meantime, I discovered several glitches that aren't noticeable on the small versions but would have been noticeable on the big versions, so I fixed those on both versions.

Though the title pages below show only the fronts of the stores, each building has four downloadable sides and roof patterns to make a 3-dimensional structure. Use your color printer and a bit of craft skills to make buildings for seasonal displays. The Halloween Storefronts page is at this link: http://halloweentrains.com/primer/hallo ... fronts.htm

1923 RadiaLamp Horn Radio Speaker

Hard to believe, but in the 1920’s, horn radio speakers were considered to be unsightly intrusions on living room decor. With that in mind, the Radialamp Company of New York stumbled upon what it thought was a brilliant idea. Disguise a loudspeaker as a lamp, the company figured, and the world would beat a path to your door. Well, that didn’t happen, but....READ AND SEE MORE AT 1923 RadiaLamp Combination Radio Horn Speaker & Table Lamp - TechnoGallerie
