One Of My Very Own

The Who, “Baba O'Riley”

NEWSY BITS

Let me just dress up as the guy holding their family hostage and mock them.

That guy doesn't seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation. But do take note of the EXACT same facial expression on the three girls above him. Anybody think that is photoshopped?

Just grip it like a bowling ball they said...

Iranian woman takes off her compulsory hijab and protests against mandatory dress code for women

I've been meaning to discuss the chink in the armor theory I have concern that Theocracy. It is very fragile and once it makes concession on, say, dress codes, the rest of their house of cards could become very vulnerable.

===

Yet another school shooting.

Most people who were interviewed about that brave man said something like, "He is in better place now." Really? Where exactly did you get that "knowledge?"

Oh, I know it eases the pain, but then there's every newscaster sending their prayers. I hope they don't work up a sweat with all that form of helping.

This was a gif that wouldn't load. Students sitting behind their desks when swat enters. You can see then in front of the whiteboard.

They yell "Hands up!" and all obey.

Only in America.

===

All things Ralph...

I'm have a book read to me and two of the main characters are Ralph and Henry.

===

Can't let this Elon thing go...

===
Went to the dentist and he said that something looked different about me. I told him I was tired of looking like a well groomed Santa and was now going for a full-blown wizard. He said, "Like Dumbledore?" I said, "Psst! He's only a fictional character in a kiddie's book. I talking about a real wizard...Gandalf!"
A good time was had by all.

===
It has been mid-60s to mid-70s for two weeks and the next 30 day forecast is more of the same.

PEOPLE

I'm thinking they have a Winnebago.

===

Loyal viewer found out how the invisible box trick worked.

And it was photoshopped, even though the original clip said that it wasn't.

===

My kind of guy.

===

What a hoot!

I would have bought one just for the story.

===

It's another urination miracle!

===

Why do some men do this....STILL?!

===

Me: The past is past. What’s done is done. Mistakes were made, but that’s all water under the bridge. So, let’s call it a day.

Wife: No.

PLACES

South Africa is running out of water.

This from NASA

Here's what it looks like up close.

They are asked to use dish water and shower water is used to flush toilets.

And I imagine this is a hot item right now.

I think that's a great idea anytime, but there is no need to have the sink sitting awkwardly atop the toilet. It could just as easily hang from the wall next to it.

RH: I've been preaching the use of gray water and rain water to flush toilets for decades and it seems no one is listening.

===

How wonderful...fun and educational. Those boys will remember that spot for the rest of their lives.

===

Guy drove this route and documented with pics.

He stopped at a place my wife and I visited on one of our treks; the geographical center of the United States.

Pictured here it looks rather regal, but what he doesn't show you is that 20' behind the guy taking the picture is an ugly ass closed down small shopping strip.

===

Guy knows his customers.

===

Okay, I'm impressed. But I am interested in how long it took before there was no free flowing water.

===

When I first got to Germany, this was the first thing I noticed.

Door knobs that actually make sense. If your hands are full you can open it with your elbow. Hands filthy? Not to worry.

===

The car in front of me didn’t go when the light turned green, so I honked. She mouthed “thank you.” Okay, it wasn’t “thank”you, but it keeps me centered to pretended it was.

THINGS

I could make a meal out of that.

===

I was told by someone I trust, that these vertical bricks and do something to strengthen the wall. The fact that these are dark has nothing to do with it.
