Wheel in the Sky!

A band called Journey - 1978 was great! And, strangely, though I never met this band - I remember listening to them while driving from Chicago to SIU.

Carpenters! Close to you!

Never enough words to be said for how this singer, this most wonderful woman get me through one of the most desperate times of my life. I will forever cherish her, and also curse her for not seeing her tremendous talent because of her ill perceived weight problems...

These boots are made for walking!


Recorded back in 1966, a true classic by Nancy Sinatra!!

California's a shakin – Is the Big One coming?

Ask the citizens living in LA about the two earthquakes that occurred within weeks of each other and you'll likely get differing responses! Some think they were no big deal, while others worry that these could be 'fore-shocks' that may be in advance of a much larger quake yet to come. (A quake that could destroy much of Los Angeles as has been predicted by some seismologists). Why, because the Puente Hills fault, which scientists believe might be responsible for Friday's 5.1 earthquake in La Habra, is considered very dangerous and could generate a quake in excess of 7.5 on the Richter scale. The Puente Hills thrust fault is considered very dangerous because of its location, running as it does from the suburbs of northern Orange County, through the San Gabriel Valley and under the skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles before ending in Hollywood.

The Puente Hills fault could also be considered especially hazardous over an extended area because of its unique shape. Other local faults, like the Newport-Inglewood and Hollywood, are a collection of vertical cracks, with the most intense shaking occurring near where the fault reaches the surface. The Puente Hills, on the other hand, is a horizontal fault with intense shaking likely to be felt over a much larger area; some estimate roughly 25 by 15 miles – And, that could spell disaster on a scale few could imagine!

On a side note. Imagine the effect such a quake would have on the American economy! Thank goodness we have the progressive leadership shown by the Obama Administration ready and willing to tackle whatever may come! Please remember that Obama, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrats are busy busy busy, even as you sleep!

WTF for lunch!

In the old days there was the infamous SOS (or as it was commonly referred to by the dysphemism 'Shit on a Shingle'). A meal that was composed of creamed chipped beef on toast and which was very common for troops to eat in the second World War.

My 21st Century concoction of chopped wiener with pork and beans on toast is called a WeinerToastaFarter meal or WTF for short, a term which I'm sure doesn't need any additional translation, but which may also have other unintended connotations...

In truth, this is a pretty good mix of foods! Nutritionally, it contains about 124 grams of Van Camp's Pork and Beans along with a 100 gram cut up wiener – the total calories therein were approximately 300! That was my lunch for this day....party on and stay clear of my wake!

Mystery craft spotted flying over Texas!

An article posted by Fox News referenced a sighting of a 'strange' aircraft – actually three aircraft that were not immediately recognized as any that America's military is currently flying. (Read the article and see what you think). 

Here is the silhouette of a B2 bomber (top plane), which is what they thought this plane most closely resembled.
It's pretty obvious that whatever plane was crossing the Texas skies, it was not a conventional B@ bomber! Interesting! So, for now, what we have is a true UFO!

On a more serious note. Americans have recently discovered that the government is lying to us. We've learned that the government is shutting citizens out while they make major decisions that will affect everyone. This mystery plane make me wonder what else they're up to while we're all sleeping...

The Bangles and Eternal Flame!


A great group! The Bangles were one of my all time favs! This song was all about Susan Hoff  - she was and is an awesome singer! Late nights, then, with a pet ferret burrowing into my bed covers... A time long past a time when I did not yet drooling so much...
