I haven’t done a #photos thread in a while, and after the hiccup with the hard drive I’m back to touching up the #motorcycle shots from a few weeks ago, so let’s talk about Indian Motorcycle.

The name Indian was initially a brand name of Hendee Manufacturing, who licensed engines from Aurora and built their early motorcycles prototypes. After a few years of success Hendee were able to start licensing their own engines, while Aurora started building entire bikes of their own under the name Thor. Indian would enter into similar arrangements later with other bike names, including Pope.

During World War I, Indian produced bikes for military use in the war effort. Changes made to their bikes prior to this were quick, but grew quicker during and after this. Many features became more standard. A mounted battery box, electric headlight, starter all became more common around here. Indian also added more colors after WW1.

(cont’d)…

I don't think- I do. I am awesome at everything I do- so there's no need to think about it.

So far, this has been the best interview I've had- hands-down. Would definitely interview with again just to feel like a human being instead of discounted steak at the grocery store.

I haven't tried that, but will definitely note that down for the future!

People who aren't open to changing how food is prepared/eaten will find it hard to discover new way to enjoy food. Then again, I add my own toppings to cheese pizza- and fold $1 oven-baked square pizzas into tacos/calzones.

This has been a concern for quite some many decades- not explicitly to the 60's

Huge number of people. I also deliberately found a working day to go, but there were still a lot of people. . .
Whether it is staff or tourists. No one is wearing a mask ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. 90% are white, then more than half are old men and women. You are really brave.

Yes, I'm just jealous, it's a cult in the universal sense, how come you are so good at it. . . Mr. Ke, fight for your anger, Mr. Ke.

Ah, ah, ah, I really want to knock down those golden tips to play, and then put on a few tentacles and whiskers that we always have.

DC Mormon Church Half-Day Tour. This is the first time it has opened to the public in decades.
They don't seem to call themselves Mormons, what's their official name. . . The Latter-day Church of Christ?
I used to pass by when I lived nearby, and every time I saw these three pure gold pillars, I wanted to que it down. . . I took a close look today and found that there are five, and I want to que it even more!

The interior is not really interesting, the decoration is extremely modern. Really very much like a hotel lobby. Any hotel in Beijing with an average price of 1,000 is more luxurious than it is. No photos are allowed inside, but a photo of the baptismal pool on the official website will be posted. Probably this is the style.
The uncomfortable point is that the entire church is completely sealed, and there is not a single window inside. Throwing a smoke bomb into it is not a direct package.
The second uncomfortable point is that the entire interior of the church is spotless, without any living things. The flowers are fake flowers and the paintings are fake paintings. How about the whole atmosphere. . . It's the kind of scene that would appear in the beginning of a dystopian movie. It always feels weird. . .

Besides people, this teaching is really rich. So decent. From the parking lot to the interior, all the staff, men in suits and women in full skirts. All of them, white people. And the enthusiasm is a bit too much. At the intersection of three meters, someone will hold a stop sign to lead you there. Thank you all the way. Goodbye.
The most amazing thing is that you need to wear shoe covers to get in. So when you enter the door, there are a group of children sitting on both sides, you stretch your feet over, and they put on shoe covers for you. . . Go out and help you take off. . .
me: WTF?

中共异常加大俄罗斯原油进口

Observation: China’s unusual increase in Russian crude oil imports sends ominous signal

Blue Lotus Farm, Toronto, Canada Ding Guo

According to a report by Reuters on May 19, the Chinese Communist Party suddenly and sharply reduced oil imports from Iran and Venezuela, instead buying large quantities of Russian crude oil for "strategic reserves." The move caused more than 20 oil tankers loaded with 40 million crude oil from Iran to float in the waters near Singapore. The report did not say how many oil tankers from Venezuela could not enter the port for cargo. This is very rare, and there are more unusual ones:

According to the report, China is negotiating additional oil purchases with Russia at a "government level" level, and neither oil companies can participate. Obviously, the negotiations between the two parties involved some major secrets. It is worth noting that the "additional purchase" exceeding the original agreement between the two sides is still under negotiation. The CCP suddenly breached the contract and interrupted the import of Iran and Venezuela, which caught these "allies" by surprise. Why is it so urgent? Previous analysis said that because the European Union is reducing Russia's crude oil imports, Russia's crude oil inventories are full, and oil wells have to be shut down. Once the wells are shut down, it will be difficult to recover. In addition to the continuous sanctions from the West, Russia's finances are already stretched, and the West And Ukraine's determination to win all round is growing.

Seeing that Russia's war potential is about to be exhausted, Xi Jinping is more anxious than anyone else, because once Russia is defeated, the West can free up its hands to deal with the CCP with all its might. A reasonable explanation is that at this time, Xi Jinping finally made up his mind to publicly support Russia, and the Sino-Russian axis of evil should join hands to give it a go. The next most likely scenario is that the CCP will send troops to Russia with great fanfare. In addition to the most sophisticated strategic and tactical weapons, military satellite reconnaissance and positioning systems and a large amount of military supplies, it will also secretly send troops. Because Russia faces a shortage of troops, and in addition, the weapons and various equipment assisted by the CCP are difficult for Russians to master.

Why do you say that the situation in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait will temporarily stabilize?

Mr. Guo Wengui, the founder of the New Federation of China, revealed in today's Getter that because Europe and the United States are about to launch extreme sanctions on the CCP, a large number of mysterious figures in China are frantically selling assets in Europe and the United States, and returning to China in large numbers. They do not want dollars and euros, but yen. , Middle East currency and Swiss franc. Based on the fact that there is something going on in the Taiwan Strait, there is something going on in Japan, and the mysterious figure in the CCP also wants the Japanese yen to judge that there is no war in the Taiwan Strait for the time being. But this may also be a fraudulent bomb released by the CCP. Recently, the United States has tried to cancel the Chinese tariffs, which contains elements to appease and win over the Chinese Communist Party, but Xi Jinping's evil plan to ally with Putin, to become an enemy of the West and to dominate the world has not changed at all. To be famous, Xi Jinping is expected to immediately announce military aid to Russia to expand and prolong the war in Ukraine. Otherwise, Europe and the United States, especially the European Union, which is thousands of miles away and separated by mountains and seas, will not have a suitable basis for extreme sanctions against the CCP.

From this, it can be deduced that Europe and the United States’ hard and soft measures against Xi Jinping will not work. The Sino-Russian "extra oil purchase negotiation" is actually a Sino-Russian war coordination meeting with the West. Obviously, in addition to the hot war, an all-around economic war between the Sino-Russian axis of evil and the West will also be launched, and the international financial market and the global economy will be bloodshed. According to Mr. Guo's intelligence, Yellen, who has always been pro-CCP, and a French leader finally figured out that it is not Putin but Xi Jinping who is most likely to drop the atomic bomb on the EU, so their attitude towards Xi Jinping has recently turned tough. Judging from what Xi Jinping has been doing all along, he intentionally dragged China into a wartime state and implemented a wartime planned economy, carried out general mobilization for the war and at the same time purged dissidents, carried out red terror throughout the country, and then combined with the progress of the Ukrainian war The situation and the domestic and international situation, and then choose an opportunity to attack Taiwan. I believe that Mr. Guo Wengui is using the most wise and courageous way to prevent and resolve the disaster of this century to the greatest extent possible.
