I do believe this is very interesting, and we'll get to it as soon as we talk about your health. I've got to give Dave credit, at least he's consistent.
Coyotes are something else. You have to be careful around them regardless of where you live. One took my little Tess [Chihuahua] just like that, and she was gone. Only damned day I didn't have my gun with me. It appears as we invade their territory they are becoming more brazen. We have some here in the hills, and you can hear them carrying on in the woods. Fascinating creatures.
I am not going to miss them one damned bit.
For what it's worth, Nixon ran and won in 1972 based upon a platform of Law and Order. I can only hope that works again.
Have a Navy Fed account. They're squirrely, so this comes as no surprise.
Here's one for the ages. Listening to it going to work today watching a beautiful Tennessee sunrise. Heard this when it first came out in 1973 and it has stuck with me ever since. The words are about as close to a soundtrack of my life as one can get, aside from some tunes by the Eagles. Enjoy!
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day/ Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.../ Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town,/ Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain/ You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today/ And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you/ No one told you when to run you missed the starting gun...
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking/ Racing around to come up behind you again/ The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older/ Shorter of breath and one day closer to death...
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time/ Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines/ Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way/ The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say....
Notice quite a few vets posting, always nice to see. Welcome Home, Brothers.
Powerful words, Brother. Glad you said what I couldn't. Been to the dark side a few times. Still wouldn't go within a thousand frickin miles of a VA hospital. I have dealt with things, it's all cool, but no, no VA. Fair winds and following seas, Fren.
You won't regret it, GG. PM me if you need to and maybe I can point you in the right direction.
I have said from the very outset that the figure of 74 million is inaccurate. I believe it was more in the neighborhood of 95-100 million.
Those people up there are blithering idiots. You can get a much nicer and far cheaper quality of life in eastern Tennessee. Of course, this is deep red Trump Country, so there's that.
Lizard scales would be my guess.
The very fact that people refer to the United States as a democracy as opposed to what it really is, a constitutional federal republic, highlights an urgent need to withhold high school diplomas from kids who cannot pass a basic government and civics test, or better yet, the test they give to people who want to become citizens in our country. I don't know where the disconnect occurred, but back when I was in school in the sixties and seventies, the government and civics class was a bitch for a lot of kids. They had to read important documents, memorize the opening to the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution, and the first part of the Gettysburg Address. Teachers didn't cater to those who struggled, it was a requirement, period. I can remember rehearsing it with my dad before I had to recite it in class. Before he divorced my mom, I remember every Fourth of July he would gather the kids [and any guests we had] in the backyard and read the Declaration of Independence - and this was coming from someone who emigrated from Germany in the 1920's.
I'm not a terribly religious person, but I do have to admit that is one pretty cool pic with Jesus hugging Pepe.
This shit's been going on for many years, it just takes an event like this to bring it to the attention of more people. Referring to the 4-6% who will never awake, some people are just so fucking stupid they can't find their asses with two hands and a flashlight. It's all about perception and rules for thee but not for me.
I noticed when that happened the guy acknowledged it and looked initially like he was going to pick it up, but then refrained from doing so.
It did feel different watching the Youngstown rally. Can't directly put my finger on it. The last eight minutes or so brought my wife nearly to tears, notice how the crowd got quiet and the music was playing. Something's going on, I can feel it.
Nothing to be proud of.
I actually preferred K Mart, but they drove them out of business too.
The one with the Lawn & Order is pure genius. I hope that guy becomes a millionaire, lol.
Been playing this in my head all day. Perfectly sums up each day I wake up, go to work, come home and then do it all again the next day:
Corn sugar and caffeine/ I feel my body in two different places/ Still playing for both teams/ Sometimes it feels I was born with two faces/ I feel the smoke climbing up my cheeks/ I hear the jokes, and I smell the punchlines/ I lay broken in my bed for weeks/ My room’s too dark; my bed’s on the Faultline
I got a feeling that I can’t let go, I got a feeling that I can’t let go, I got a feeling that I can’t let go, I got a feeling that I can’t let go.
Sing a song about heartbreak/ Do you know about the sweet taste of sadness?/ I got a name for each one of my headaches/ What do you know about the thin line of madness?/ I need a new part with new lines/ Anything if it’s good for your head/ You can donate your heart to science/ But it won’t bring you back from the dead/
I got a feeling that I can’t let go.
From the Bosch soundtrack, this is Caught a Ghost's Can't Let Go.
Back at ya 😉
Hey there! I posted below, I think our posts crossed on the web :) I still listen to metal once in a while when I want to clear the sinuses, lol. Cinderella was a great band. Some old Black Sabbath can do the trick. Van Halen too. Triumph had some great tunes, and Rush was something else [think YYZ - yow]. Led Zeppelin was phenomenal. The largest part of the collection, though, is classical. There is even some stuff I don't listen to because I will drive right off the road, lol. Case in point: Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th movement. When they start singing in German and then bring the whole choir in, I'm done. Mozart's Mass in C Minor, Kyrie makes me want to fly up to the heavens. Ay ay ay, I could go on forever 😁
I'm feeling the same way, although I concern myself with what the wife and I have and not about what anyone else is doing. When I first got wind of the September 24-25th thing, I was cautious and still am to a point...but something's going on now that the queen is dead. Something just doesn't feel right. We're prepared for this coming weekend, and the best I can predict is that if the shit starts going down I am probably going to be out on the zero-turn cutting the grass on the property.
