Surely It Can't Get Any Weirder? 'Cluck Cluck'

Local news is getting weird, even as national news is climbing out of the hand basket of weirdness into insanity, or something like that. From Alligator Alcatraz to some dude killing firefighters perhaps because he once wanted to be one... to finding Travis Decker, who killed his three daughters and then disappeared into the forest. And no, they haven't found him yet. The news is just head shakingly insane. But the weirdness doesn't have to be all bad; here's something fun in local news, a T-Rex race!

Magenta, Columbia, and Riff Raff out and about yesterday!

We are celebrating our 350th anniversary. Special commemorations, parades, speeches

I know a lot of folks here are not very interested in electric vehicles, for whatever reason. Many are like me who just love the sound of a powerful V-8 going through the gears. Motorheads they call us. And I still roll out my '99 Vette several times a year when the weather is nice, or when we have to go multi-state for one reason or another.

06/30 Open Thread - Tunguska

It is interesting to me that there's no discussion of the illegal nature of the strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, but instead the argument is about the degree to which the strike degraded Iran's nuclear program. Oddly enough, I'm hoping Trump's false narrative of "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated" holds. If that becomes the accepted position then there's no reason to strike Iran again. However, the Neocons aren't having it. They finally achieved their "Bomb, Bomb Iran" moment and they want more. Meanwhile the Ukraine proxy war has faded from the news cycle...in part because Ukraine is losing.

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got one great harmonica player and two great guitarists for you. Starting off we've got Harmonica George Smith fronting the band Bacon Fat in the early 1970's. After that we have guitar wizard Roy Buchanan's early recordings before he was a famous unknown. Finishing up we've got a mid '80's solo album from Richard Thompson an interesting and inventive guitarist.

Enjoy the music and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good friends! WWIII has been postponed as of this composition!

One of the blessings of weekends is I can shut off the alarm and sleep as late as I wish. And, I can do as I damn well please, without having to follow professional protocols, such as dress code. And prohibition of foul language.
