I-29 connects Missouri and North Dakota so that the corn from Iowa can flow both north and south.

A worried woman wrote into a numerology tube: "My husband keeps seeing the number 29 everywhere! What is 29 meaning?" She was told that "the number 29 has to do with intuition, spirituality, teaching, charisma, and diplomacy. It's a teamwork number, meaning things tend to go better as a team than as individual effort."

If you add the 2 and the 9 in 29 you get 11. If you add the 1 and the 1 in 11 you get 2. If you add that 2 to the 11 of 2 and 9 from 29 you get 13. And then everything is alright. And then if you add the 1 and the 3 from 13, you get 4. And then everything is perfect.

If you put a monkey, a dragon, and a rat, in a split-pea shell, they will sail to Caledonia.

They tell me that when I was, like, four or something, for about six months I refused to answer to any name but Roy, wore my cowboy hat and "gun pockets" everywhere, and refused social intercourse with anyone who claimed they could not see my horse Trigger. I decline to have any memories of this period, although there exists abundant photographic evidence.

Kind of a bummer, back there in 29 BCE, when everyone had the same name.

29 Palms is a heaving hellhole where the temperature averages over 100 degrees for three solid months. White people in 1895 rounded up some of the Indians they had ruined in the missions and stuck them in a 400-acre snake-pit outside of town. Today these Indians run the Tortoise Rock Casino in 29 Palms, where they take the white people's money.

Robert Plant wrote a song about 29 Palms but I am not embedding it here because probably Beelzebub is in it. There is a different-one song called "The Lady From 29 Palms" that was recorded by many people who are now dead.

Melvin Purvis was the victim of a gun fail; he shot himself in the head while trying to extract a jammed bullet from his pistol. He then became one of the dead people. By the Law of Names, if your name is "Melvin," you will not be a master of coordination.

Copper doesn't understand why people think silver and gold are more bitchin'.

Balthus went to Switzerland during WWII so the Germans wouldn't put him in a furnace.

Aaron Copland did fine things with the Shakers' "Simple Gifts."

Hooyah.

are finally looking at the sheet people and wise guys in The Hairball's underpants.

everything is great for me

In sweeping passages, he rejected the economic pessimism dominating the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign as “dead wrong” and made a case for a bright future. A supporter of Democrat Hillary Clinton, the 85-year-old Berkshire chief executive officer didn’t name the candidates espousing a dark outlook. But his message put him at odds with most of the Republican field and Clinton’s primary challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
...
Candidates who have been painting a picture of economic woe were doing so to win votes, not because it accurately reflects the nation’s challenges, he said.

“As a result of this negative drumbeat, many Americans now believe that their children will not live as well as they themselves do,” Buffett wrote. “That view is dead wrong: The babies being born in America today are the luckiest crop in history.”

The oligarch has spoken.

leaving a note that I enjoyed your music pieces today. I feel so discouraged and old that being nostalgic to the dream world of those songs made me feel like "oh, the good ol times", which probably they never were, but it feels as if they were in the songs.

Have a good day, all.

Why I don't use heroin

Bernice was raped by her mother’s boyfriend when she was 12. She ran away from home, found heroin and crack, and started prostituting. She is in her 30s now. I met her five years ago when I was new to this world. After hearing her story I asked if she needed help getting into rehab and therapy. She responded:

“You want me to sit in a circle and sing Kumbaya and suddenly pretend my mom’s boyfriend didn’t fuck me in the ass when I was a child? Am I supposed to suddenly have a relationship with my family? How can 28 days and a few pats on the shoulder fix what I have been through? How?”

I have never suggested therapy again, unless they mention it first.
....
I never saw Bernice again, she disappeared from the streets, presumably into a rehab, jail, or perhaps she moved to another town. Still, I cannot forget the last thing she said to me, “Why am I using drugs and hustling? Because I am out here trying to kill myself. I want to get a gun and do it faster, but I am too scared to blow my head off.”

Eric has an autograph from Davy Jones, the Monkey. They both had the same manager when Eric went to LA to be a pop star and Davy Jones was a former looking for work pop star He drew a cute daisy under his signature. The manager was a terrible 'pop star' manger, his main business being hustling pornography and non-pornographic boring educational material.

My toddlers loved the Monkeys and although I rationed out their allowable time watching TV it was a better show then the Beatles cartoon show which I hated. They also loved the Grateful Dead which we would listen to on the radio on a FM show called 'Live from The Family Dog.' when Mountain's of the Moon would come on they would lie mesmerized on the floor and go into the same blissful state that Mr. Roberts Neighborhood induced. I was not a Dead Head and always found it strange that they became such a cult band. My infants were early mesmerized dead heads without imbibing any drugs. They also liked The Band. My oldest got sent home from kindergarden for bring Jeremiah Surrender to share with the class. The teacher said it was pornographic and put us both in timeout for for accumulated inappropriate behavior.

As a DFH I did not notice this was a dirty song and neither did my son. We just liked the music. I was glad that he was listening to The Band's album as I was getting tired of hearing Aoxomoxoa.

Let all get up and dance to a tune that was a hit? after my mother was born.....
