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.

Here's a portion of the article:
It is the end of one of the most iconic and scientifically productive telescopes in the history of astronomy—and scientists are mourning its loss.
“I don’t know what to say,” says Robert Kerr, a former director of the observatory. “It’s just unbelievable.”
“I am totally devastated,” says Abel Mendéz, an astrobiologist at the University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo who uses the observatory.

Bob Kerr wanted to take my freshman in college to that observatory for the first time but needed my permission because she was underage. I looked at my daughter, asked her if she wanted to go, she nodded, I told him he had my permission.
And I dined with Abel and his family while I was in Porto Rico.
That magnificent radio telescope will be sorely missed.

Weeks ago I mentioned the breakage of an old ashtray that my wife had given to her now dead father. Then I got this in an email:

 "Sorry for your loss. Search this number on eBay 124361305341 It was the closest I found."

We followed his lead and today this identical piece arrived.

I greatly regret that I don't remember the guy's name, but he should know how grateful I am. 
BTW wine...all wines...were fucking with my stomach so I switched back to beer and I have had no more problems. But now I have 5 a day instead of 12 to 18.

Does that embarrass you? And if not, why not?
We - The United States of America - is pitied by the whole world. THAT is Donald Trump's legacy.

To make a sandwich you need two pieces of bread. Then you get a jar of Duke's Mayonnaise and if you ain't got Duke's you might as well put that bread away.

My favorite cheese is cottage cheese because it's the only cheese that is socially acceptable to eat by the bowlful.

AND AWRY WE GO


Dutch subway train drove through a bumper stop at the end of the line and made a perfect landing on a whale tail art sculpture.

The train was empty and the driver made out it all by himself. 


This just in...

Wellbuilt sculpture that.

This took me several views...

He'll see the light eventually.

In a setting like that, that bright blue billboard bugs the shit out of me.

Have you ever been in this much of a hurry?

Could be that it was a fake crash to get him to stop so they could rob him.

Here's how I thought it would end...

According to the internet, that particular machine seems to malfunction on a daily basis.

Earthquakes are indeed terrifying.

Due to falling debris from buldings, I would think sidewalks would be the last place you would want to be.

Did you notice the dust from collapsed buildings down the street?

that pesky little ghost. I looked at that image close up over and over. then zoomed out, looked away and back at it again and boom there he was, that tricky little guy, with his cute little ghost eyes and tiny little ghost smile.

Yeah, I had almost given up on it. Thought maybe somebody was fucking with me then there he is. And is the case in such things, once you see it you can't keep your eyes off of it.
