What a Great Idea??

If one accepts Darwinism/evolution as fact (some don’t) this has got to be a bellwether. “The essence of my proposition is simple”, says the Chairwoman Of Parliamentary Commission on Women’s affairs, Children and Family, Yelena Borisovna Mizoulina. “Each female citizen of Russia will be able to receive by mail the genetic material of the President, […]

Oh Dang… I Love TAH!

Where else can you so easily discuss music, electrons, valor thieves, politics, etc. Yeah, I get to post (thank you Jonn), but I’d be here regardless. If diversity is a label – TAH has it. Maybe not quite what the PC folks intend, but the way I prefer. Jonn, take a bow. If ya can […]

A Legend Has Passed

Jack Bruce has passed.  He died on 25 October 2014 of liver disease, aged 71. Yeah, I’m guessing that his admittedly heavy use of chemicals may well have been partly to blame.  That was his choice in life. If you’re thinking you recall the name, you should.  If you ever heard anything by Cream – […]

Thank You For Your Service

I think I posted about this before, but it happened again today and I STILL get rattled when it happens – enough to post about it yet again. Some back-story: For 30 plus years I didn’t acknowledge my Vietnam service outside of some very narrow confines.  BTW –  The only VN mud I got on […]

Tabasco Sauce Saves Lives!

My headline is no joke; although when I first read the actual headline “Tabasco sauce used to train Ebola health care workers” all kinds of strange thoughts ran thru my head.

If Yer a ‘Nam Vet… And/Or Know What GQ means?

Yeah, I know… two  posts in one day… If Jonn don’t delete this you just might just learn something. An online pal of mine (TGYC) is mentioned is this story. Simply put… I was unaware of this event until he mentioned it. “Hannah Ackerman, a Cedar Falls High School graduate now attending Hawkeye Community College […]

Jumping Out of Perfectly Good Things

Some here have actually jumped out of perfectly good aircraft. I planned to do a tandem jump on my 65th birthday a few years ago and even invited Jonn to join me, but it never happened. I wanted to jump into my big field for my birthday party, but the cost was toooo steep.  I […]

But I just don’t much like Opera

TSO’s posts prompted this! I reckon if he can belittle (SAVAGES!) us for our answers to his poll I can post this: One of the most difficult concepts to communicate, for me anyway, is that I can admire the vocal skill and emotive chops of an opera star… BUT I still wouldn’t walk across the […]
