Damn - that thing came down fast - and hard...

Air traffic control audio revealed the panicked final moments from a private jet as it plummeted to Earth near a South Florida mobile home park with nine people on board now feared dead. “Holy fuck we’re out of time,” a female crew member aboard the Learjet 60 is heard screaming to an air traffic controller in the last moments before the plane nose-dived straight into the ground about 1 p.m. this afternoon.
“We are in an overspeed condition, descending 20,000 feet per minute,” the pilot screamed moments earlier. The private jet, believed to be worth $2 million, was en route to the Bahamas from Austin, Texas. Leasing a midsize private jet like the Learjet 60 generally costs between $150,000 and $400,000 per month

Our Senate could learn a thing or two from the Armenian Parliament. Like when to duck and cover...

 A massive brawl erupted inside Armenia’s parliament as rival MPs clash over a “Ministry of Sex” 'discussion'. Video footage shows furious ministers throwing punches and hurling chairs over some crazy plans to tackle 'declining sex drives in women'. At one point a politician empties a glass of water over another’s head while his esteemed colleagues kick one another in the groin.
The violent brawl on Thursday – the third in a matter of days – was sparked by a bizarre proposal from the opposition party. Ministers from the pro-Russia Strong Armenia party suggested creating a Ministry of Sex after claiming that a lack of sexual satisfaction was leading women into political activism.
The ruling party, Civil Contract, immediately shut down the raunchy department plans – which had aimed to leave “no unsatisfied women”. Tempers boiled over when a ruling party MP demanded an apology – a command which was met by an all-out fisticuffs frenzy.
Rival MPs rushed up to the podium where Civil Contract MP Taron Chakhoyan was speaking and began pummelling one another. One man can be seen slipping off his blazer and elegantly draping it over a wooden bannister before leaping into the fray. Vahagn Aleksanyan, the parliament’s deputy speaker, threw a red leather chair while Chakhoyan was seen pouring a glass of water over Garnik Davtyan, an opposition MP. 
Armenia’s prime minister Nikol Pashinyan later told reporters: “I condemn violence, but I support the measures taken by the Civil Contract faction today. “Whether with a chair or something else, it is proportionate and right...”

Watch out for that right. The right! Watch out for the... oh, never mind.

These two guys ain't no lightweights, that's for sure. Heavyweight boxer Rydell Booker had a moment to forget as he was knocked out by Adrian Granat. However, it was partly self-inflicted as he opted to look away from his opponent for the cameras.
Booker, 45, waited until the tenth and final round to start showboating. Despite being pressed by Granat and not really responding, Booker decided to play up for the cameras. He looked to his right multiple times as Granat continued to bid for a final round knockout. And Granat got his wish – punishing his opponent for his antics.
One final right-handed punch caught Booker cold, sending him sprawling onto the canvas. He stayed down for several seconds before his team jumped in the ring and rushed to his aid. It appeared to be a brutal reminder that messing with Granat - and aping for the cameras - has brutal consequences. Swede Granat, who is ten years younger than his opponent, took a 17th career win on Friday night.

Questions we've all asked ourselves...


The first item on the list, though, is one I've asked a thousand times - Why am I going bald at the same time that hair starts popping out of my nose and ears?
Ear hair questions aside, we all pause at some point in our lives to reflect on big questions about who we are, what we want, and why things happen. What would I do if money and status were not a concern? Am I living authentically, or am I playing a role for others?  What truth am I hiding from myself right now?
And the ones I've never gotten a good answer for?  Why do bad things happen to good people, and who left the window open - it's fuckin' FREEZING in here...







Autumn Sundays are the worst...








Playing it safe will get you a shot at birdie most of the time...

Playing it safe in golf rarely guarantees a birdie, but it dramatically lowers your risk of carding a bogey or worse.
• Avoid the "Hero Shot": Trying low-percentage shots - like threading a tiny gap through trees or carrying deep water when it is outside your reliable range - usually leads to high numbers.
• The 7/10 Rule: Before attempting a risky shot, ask yourself: "If I had 10 goes at this shot, could I pull it off at least 7 times?" If the answer is no, take your medicine, play to the center of the green or back to the fairway, and eliminate the big numbers.
• Killing Doubles Beats Chasing Birdies: For most amateur and mid-to-high handicappers, overall scores drop significantly not by making more birdies, but by completely eliminating doubles and triples.
The best round of golf I ever played was walking with a hand cart with no one in front or behind us on an early spring Thursday afternoon. I hit virtually every fairway with only a five-wood, played in record-fast time - 1 hour and 55 minutes  on a 7,000 yard course, and went birdie/birdie on the last two holes to card a 78. Only time in my life I ever broke 80.






But we still don't know what they're so pissed off about, do we?

What started out as peaceful, controlled protests have now morphed in to violent, destructive riots that have nothing to do with schools, and everything to do with chaos, with a dash of anti-semitism thrown in. Fierce protests erupted again across Europe Saturday evening as the most violent rioters in France threw Molotov cocktails at military police, broke into homes and set US and Israeli flags on fire.
The clashes in Paris, which started at Porte de Bagnolet and drew at least 70,000 people, exploded after the march reached its end point at Porte de Charenton, with police attempting to disperse the crowd with tear gas, water cannons and mortar fire  – and protesters responding by tossing projectiles at them.
An incendiary device thrown at police set an officer’s leg on fire and was captured in startling images – before it was extinguished. “Our unit was attacked violently by several rioters in a very sudden way,” the unnamed officer said in a phone call with French channel LCI. “The intensity was extraordinary, there wasn’t any kind of gradual buildup to the violence … it degenerated.”
Nothing good can come from this mayhem - that's a given. What do they hope to accomplish? No one has the vaguest idea. Just a bunch of jerkoffs doing jerkoff shit. It's time for those cops over there take the kid gloves off and start pounding these motherfuckers into the pavement. Nothing else will stop this shit...

I haven't seen or heard it yet, have you?

The Democrat Party's certainly does have difficulties in establishing a consistent campaign theme during the current election cycle. Political observers have noted repeated efforts to craft messages around economic issues and democratic values without achieving broad internal consensus. They can't even agree to agree. 
Here we are in November already, and, Democratic strategists continue to refine what little messaging they have ahead of midterm contests. Historical patterns show all political parties seem to often face similar challenges when they try to unify diverse voter coalitions under a single theme. To date, the Dims' only theme appears to be, once again, 'I'm not Trump'.
Wolverton's approach relies on the established donkey symbol to convey the party's self-perception of momentum alongside visible delays in message development. This creates a pointed observation about the timing and substance of campaign communications without namming specific candidates. One billboard I saw yesterday had a Democrat woman running for something - God knows what - with the slogan "I want to help you save money". Huh?

Lorrie Kitching was 15 years old in 1973 when her father, Lt Col Robert Stirm, returned home from Vietnam after spending more than five years as a POW. The moment of their reunion was captured in a Pulitzer-prize winning photograph known as 'Burst of Joy.'  The now-legendary image was taken by the Associated Press snapper Slava 'Sal' Veder at Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, California.  
This week Kitching, now 69, revealed the emotional moment she received a package containing a POW bracelet engraved with her father's details. POW bracelets were introduced in 1970 in a bid to keep military members' suffering in the front and center of the public's mind. They featured the names of US servicemen and the date when they had been captured. Wearers vowed to keep them until the military members made it safely home. 
There's a story similar to this here:

This old Desoto on the old hand-pulled McCrabb rope ferry,  aka the Suwannee Ferry, that crossed the river at McCrabb Landing, Florida.  This was one of the earliest ferries across the Suwannee River, started in the late 1820s or early 1830s.  It was a toll ferry until it became a county and state supported free public ferry in the early 1900s.  It  remained in operation until it eventually closed around 1956.  Until the Three-County Suwannee River Turnbridge was built at Fanning Springs in 1923, and later replaced by the Benjamine Chaires steel truss bridge in1934, the ferry was the main north-south connector linking Tallahassee to Cross City to Chiefland.

Most definitely in my top three favorite movies, it's one of those flicks that you had to watch any time it came around on TV. Now, with all the different streaming service and Netflix and YouTube and Prime and everything else that's feeding our viewing addictions, you can find this just about any time you want. Certainly one of the best fight scenes ever filmed.

51 years ago yesterday,, on Halloween in 1975, Queen released 
their iconic song “Bohemian Rhapsody.” 
Written by Freddie Mercury, the groundbreaking six-minute track defied conventional songwriting with its operatic section, powerful vocals, and unforgettable guitar solo. 
Despite its unusual structure and length, it became one of the band's biggest hits, spending nine consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart and cementing its place as one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

He was Public Enemy Number One. He was also, for a few months, the only person in Chicago feeding thousands of people a hot meal every day. In November 1930, a storefront on South State Street opened with a banner: "Free Soup Coffee & Doughnuts for the Unemployed." It served three meals a day, no questions asked. The man behind it was Al Capone.
The operation cost him roughly $300 a day. He didn't show up for photo ops or speeches. The line stretched past police headquarters, a quiet irony nobody missed. When the government failed to feed its people, a gangster did.

Buddy of mine moved to a small island off the coast of Thailand around 20 years ago. He died recently in a car accident, but he was one helluva guy, a great buddy and one of the genuinely funniest, sick fucks I've ever been lucky enough to know. 
His girlfriend at the time he died usta be a guy. He couldn'ta gave a fuck less. Andre lived his entire life on the edge - it's somehow appropriate that he drove off a cliff in his own car, drunk as fuckall.

The sun rises and sets through the same gap...

Sunrise at the Bahia Honda Rail Bridge (also known as the Old Bahia Honda Bridge) in the Florida Keys, with the sun aligned through the gap in the bridge over the water.
The historic, decommissioned railroad bridge (part of the old Overseas Railroad built by Henry Flagler) features a famous missing span or gap where the sun aligns during certain times of the day. Change your point of view and perspective and you can watch the sun set through the same gap...
