Yeah, right now I should be packing up the car and getting ready to drive travel to my dad's place for a few days. :cry: I talked to him a few hours before he passed, and he was excited to see us (OK, mostly ol' Wifehorn). And now Gregg is gone, too also. I'd be very grateful if nobody else dies thi...

Whoa.

Oh, no. Not Gregg too. Oh, man. Today is a bad day.

I like that one.

Sadly, the tequila store is closed on Sunday in my neck of the woods. Oh, well.

Happy Cinco de Drinko, peeps.

True dat. It's going to be glorious, and cathartic, and healthy, especially for the grandkids. Singing loudly with a group is wonderful at any time, but it will be the perfect way to send him off. I am still not a Christian, and I have no plans to convert. As y'all know, I am a certified minister my...

Man, I didn't even start the video and I still got the earworm! That one is powerful.

I know, right? And you can't get through to them by talking, it's almost like they don't speak English at all. And they hide in the trees! How rude is that?

Yes, sorry, I finally got a decent photo of an unusual berd and I forgotted to identify him. He's a great blue heron, and there's a whole breeding area about a mile from the house. The trees they use are set well back from the paved Greenway, but we will see herons on the river fairly often. That's ...

Speaking of music, it's starting to look like we're going to have at least 15, maybe 20 or so people to sing Eternal Father at the church. My father was famous for singing off-key in church, he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, so he compensated by singing LOUD . It was a family joke for his whole ...

We don't know our own ancient history, but we do know that for whatever reason, music is an important part of being human. When we finally reach the stars, if we ever do, our music will be something we can really be proud of.

Good to know, I could use that.

point.jpg . This one is from 1945, a very weird photo of my dad. "Point" means West Point - he scored the highest entrance scores at both the Naval Academy and West Point in 1945. He's holding his ear so his brains don't leak out. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. I don't know where...

six_years_old.jpg . Believe it or not, he's six years old in the photo, living at the Naval Academy. His dad was "popular" because he was head of the Electrical Engineering department. Keep in mind, there was no Electronics Engineering department back in 1934. Electrical Engineering was t...

Is there any reason for that?

Thanks for the transcript links.

You put it in Crazy Trumpers.

Wow.

I take metformin. Maybe that's why I never got the virus any symptoms.

Yeah, it makes no sense. A Bronze Star is a hell of a tribute to the courage and action of the owner. Why would anyone need to claim a second one (which it seems highly improbable that anyone could earn two)? If he wasn't in combat, how the heck did he get a Bronze Star? Oh, Wikipedia says it's &quo...

Plus, the cord keeps you from losing the board. I use a cord on my boogie board, but it's a wrist strap.

A berd, I haz one. This bad boy is the boss of the whole section of the river. The guys out there scoffed. Have you seen the bald eagles flying up and down the river?

We have, but he's way bigger than they are.

Anyway ...
