About Me

My photo
I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

Prefab Pop-Up Shelter Designed for Burning Man and Perfected for Disaster Relief
Taking cues from the hexayurts that pop-up across the various camps at Burning Man, the designer, Weber, evolved the concept to be easy-to-construct, and transportable. With the strike of innovation that comes only in the middle of the night, he pulled out an origami book and drew up what is now the Shiftpod. Weighing in at 64 pounds the Shiftpod compacts to 77”x13”x13” and can be assembled in minutes.

All I've ever really wanted from life is a legitimate reason to pin a bunch of photos and newspaper clippings on a huge cork board and connect them with long pieces of colored yarn.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

I can state up front that I am one of the most lazy human beings on the planet. But it has been said often that each job site needs at least one lazy person because they will find the easiest way to solve problems.

Hello Ralph!
I've been a blog follower for only this year, but I agree with almost all your views! I just want to thank you for letting me hear 'Catch a Falling Star' again! I was five years old when it came out, and I don't think I've heard it for at least fifty!
Magic!!!
[ RH - thank you thank you thank you!!!]

Movie - MUDBOUND

It has some great writers.

I am old enough to have ridden on buses with this segregation.

But I notice many mistakes in movies that the average person will overlook. This person is going to check on the man who sleeps in the shed.
The spin lock was sideways, which the guy sleeping in the shed could not have secured. And no, he was not locked in by someone else. He slept there.

Claude Monet, French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters was born in Paris.
I once came upon the painting on the right at a museum in Washington DC and sat and stared at it for over an hour.

===
Finally found a picture that illustrates an old story very well. A kid helping me paint a mural stepped in a bucket of blue paint just like that, and even after being told to wear old clothes she told me the boots were brand new and her grandmother had bought them only the day before. Then she asked me what she should do. I told her to paint the other one blue.

I do not like to be beat by game shows. I know I will be furious when I learn the simple answer, but I need you help. Anyone?

I am old enough that I can physically feel my time running out.

Lamborghini gave The Pope a present.
He didn't drive it, but he did bless it. He doesn't plan on keeping it. Pope Francis will be putting the car up for auction and donating all the proceeds to Charity.

Not being able to standardize such things infuriates me. And don't get me started on the different types of phone chargers.

Extraordinary.

Dog meets "Dog."

Did you notice that is two men who are just pretending.

That time a B-52 lost its tail, flew around for 5 hours, then landed just fine.

Jan 10, 1964 - a Buff goes up to test the limits of buffeting turbulence.  They found the limit was somewhere around the time the tail falls off.  The crew prepared to bail but the pilot was having none of that.  He flew around for a while, then landed in Arkansas where they presumably didn't have to buy any drinks that night.
Buff = Big Ugly Fat Fuck

I'm thinking movie stunt.

Interesting about the phrase "well done." Usually it mean a job completed successfully, unless you are referring to steaks, then it's like "Get out of my restaurant."
