Since I've decided to keep my old truck (1986 Mazda B2000) instead of buying a new Ford electric, and I can't wait any longer on the Tesla Cybertruck, I'm shopping for a new radio for it.
Haven't had any tunes for a few years as I was anticipating getting a new truck anytime soon. Ha.
I just watched part 1 and it blew me away. Vera Sharav, who fortunately survived the Holocaust, answers questions about the holocaust then and now, slavery and compliance. Orphans were taken from the camp and put on a boat to somewhere she refused to go on it and the Nazis blew it up that night. She learned to trust her feelings about things and that is why she has not gotten jabbed.

There’s a documentary on TVNZ, When Bob Came, which explores the cultural and political impact Bob Marley’s 1979 visit to New Zealand had on this country, and still lives strongly. It’s free if you log in to TVNZ, but I totally understand that most won’t be inclined to. But for those enduring Bob Marley fans it will be a treat.

Interviewer - "Do you have to smoke to be a Rasta?"
This week we're traveling west (we use taxis and buses in Mexico) to the colonial town of Izamal. Visiting some cenotes, water filled sink holes. Then visiting another UNESCO site, Uxamal, an old Mayan city.
We armed and trained Afghanis during the 80's and there was never any blowback from that, amirite?
Remember all of those Afghan troops that we trained over the last 20 years? They are putting that training to good use.
Afternoon folks!
This week I've got a couple of good harmonica blues albums from James Cotton and a compilation of (Little) George ("Harmonica") Smith's early recordings. Then there's a mess of blues rock from Roy Buchanan, Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles, Hot Tuna and Bonnie Bramlett. Following that, there's another Richard & Linda Thompson album and finally there's some serious prog rock from Lenny White (from Return To Forever, for those of you following along in the hymnals) - Al DiMeola makes an appearance on the album.
Take care and have a great weekend everybody!

This past week was the 2 year anniversary of the military coup in Myanmar. Or as the State Department refers to the country Burma. A National Unity Government has been established outside the country and has control of the United Nations seat for Myanmar. Military efforts have not been as well supported by the international community.
I just received an email from "RootsAction" with a silly "Q & A" for one of its pet causes, "Don't Run Joe," a piece of pleading before the emperor which aims to persuade Joe Biden not to run for re-election. This stuff is pretty thin soup -- they could, for instance, run someone now against him, or, better yet, run a whole slate intended to get the worst few hundred offenders out of the Federal government.
