I'm just reading the headline regarding Boeing pleading guilty to fraud and being fined 246+ million dollars.
The picture in my mind immediately becomes my standing before a judge and pleading guilty of the same charge. As a certified thousand aire, would the judge fine me a quarter billion dollars?

The Theater of the Absurd...

JtC suggested Friday things seems like a Greek tragedy, or perhaps comedy. Neil Oliver said this week he thought the house lights in the theater of the absurd have been turned on and all the puppet strings, trap doors, smoke, and mirrors can be seen by those who look. Perhaps it is the many elections that bring the absurd nature of our system to light. Here in the US we debate about a self-serving egotist and a demented warmonger as our president? In the UK they had a choice of globalists and selected the war monger Zionist Stammer. In France lefties are protesting the election results and democracy itself. The EU is freaking out about Orban's trip to Moscow to talk peace. Peace is not acceptable to the EU appointed globalists. It does seem a theater of the absurd across the western governments.

Afternoon folks!

I hope that you all are having a great weekend. However it turned out, there's sure to be some blues here to make it better. Starting out, there's an album from Muddy Waters with some of his lesser-known early 70's tunes on it, followed by an excellent B.B. King album. After that, it's blues rock with John Hammond and the Nighthawks and Little Feat. After that there's an album for all you guitar pickers out there, Merle Travis and Joe Maphis pick away sometimes at improbable speeds with clean articulation that should make most guitar-shredders jaws drop. We finish off with a 1966 album from Small Faces.

Enjoy the tunes and have a good one!

Good morning, friends!

I hope you all had a safe and fun holiday.

Mine doubles as a Federal holiday, and personal anniversary. Our original plan was to spend 4 days in our favorite condo on the beach at South Padre Island. Weeks ago, we cancelled the booking. Here is what we missed, an event that happened very close to where we were going to stay:
