Too many cooks spoil the broth...

There are just way too many 'news' outlets out there. Report the news, guys - we don't give a fuck about your opinion... 

Of course, that's just my opinion. You know that.


The handsome little dude with the Captain Skippy hat on? Yours truly, on the Wildwood NJ boardwalk summer of 1954 with my two older brothers and my mom.
... 

Here's a great story to start your day:

As 20-year-old sweethearts, Nick Ercoline and Bobbi Kelly
 were immortalized as the poster (flower) children of Woodstock. 


A photograph of the couple — wrapped in a tender embrace and a pink blanket — became the cover of 1970’s “Woodstock: Music from the Original Soundtrack and More.” But at the time, they had no clue that photographer Burke Uzzle had even captured the shot at the festival, which took place the weekend of Aug. 15 to 18, 1969.“I don’t know how it happened,” Nick said. Yet the photo endured — and so did the love story. Fifty years after Woodstock, the now 70-year-old spouses are still holding on tight to one another.


“It’s a moment that happens still this day,” said Nick, a retired carpenter. “When we first see each other in the morning, that’s the first thing we do. We give each other a hug and a kiss, and we stand there for about a minute or so, hanging on to each other.”

And he can't come back to the team without a note from his mother. WTF is happening to us? The pussification  of American marches steadfastly forward...
... 

What a wonderful (and frugal) thing this is, dontcha think? Well guess what:



Do you live in Colorado or Nevada? That water isn’t yours. You can’t have it. And you most certainly cannot set out a setup like this one to catch what falls from the sky, you thief. Water laws are so strict in these two states that rainwater collection is virtually prohibited. The doctrine is written into the state’s Constitutions. All the rain is already spoken for. It belongs to someone else, and that someone else isn’t you. It's the state's.

And politicians wonder why they are hated 
so vigorously by so many of us.
... 


And they say cats can't be taught tricks.
I had a cat that fetched once.
... 

It's not just about masks. 


Open your mind to the POSSIBILITY...

THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION.

In 5 short months, the U.S. transformed into an obedient socialist country. Government dictated what events are acceptable to attend. Violent protests that instill fear are OK but church services, family funerals and patriotic celebrations are dangerous. And you bought it without a fight.

Standing in a graduation line is a "safety hazard". Small businesses were forced to close but crowds that flocked to support the corporate money machine at WalMart, Lowes and Home Depot are OK. Come on. It's "just a mask" & "safety precautions".

How about a little hush money. Here's $2,400 that we stole out of your pay check in the first place. Enjoy. Buy something with it. Cash is dirty. We can't give change. There's a coin shortage. Use your card. In 5 months, they convinced you to use a traceable card for everything.

In less than 5 months, government closed public schools then "restructured" education under the guise of "public safety". In less than 5 months, our government demonstrated how easily people assimilate to "guidelines" that have NO scientific premise whatsoever when you are fearful.

In less than 5 months, our government successfully instilled fear in a majority of the population in America that allows them to control every aspect of your life. Including what you eat, where you go, and who you see.

And the most dangerous and terrifying part? People are not afraid of the government who removed their freedom. They're afraid of their neighbors, family and friends. And they hate those who won't comply.

It's absolutely terrifying to me that so many people don't question "authority". They are willing to surrender their critical thinking skills and independence. They just... gave up without thinking. Without a fight.

Do you know what's coming next?

"It's just a vaccine. Come on. It's for the greater good". Wait until you're told that you can't enter any store or business without proof of the Covid-19 vaccine. Wait until you can't go to public events or get on a plane without proof of receiving the vaccine.

To everyone that doesn't believe this is possible - DO YOU UNDERSTAND that government successfully dictated to people WHEN they were allowed to be outside, where they were allowed to go, and how their children would be educated in less than 5 months? And that a majority of the population followed blindly because they were told to do so.

You're kidding yourself if you think this behavior won't be repeated with a vaccine. Or whatever the next step is.

"I don't follow politics." "Who cares about that stuff?" "I don't like to think about it." 6 million Jews were exterminated in Germany because 97% of the population cowered to populist control. Nobody wanted to think about it. It's easier to just ignore it.

But that couldn't happen here, right?

This kid could be a genuine superstar if he stays healthy.


He hits like an animal - we all know that, but have ya ever seen him throw? He has an absolute fuckin' cannon of an arm. He threw a guy out at the plate last year from the warning track at Yankee Stadium with a one-hop friggin' laser throw that was unbelievable. Thing didn't go 6 feet off the ground. Unbelievable.
... 

This is when an 'over-abundance of caution' proves to be fatal to small businesses and he could give a fuck less if he tried. 


This guy is a genuinely miss-guided fuckin' idiot. And he ain't the only one -
 I'm sure you've got your own favorites to pick out.

The Reds could be the first MLB team to allow fans back into the ballpark during games this season. At least somebody is. baseball without fans in the stands is pretty fuckin' worthless if ya ask me.

Don't start shaking your head over these moronic politicians. If ya start you'll never, ever stop.

Honest to god I have no idea WTF is actually happening in this country that bug-eyed fuckin' morons like this chic could be responsible for a city like Chicago? This is insanity played out like street theater. Nothing makes sense anymore I swear.

I guess since this lockdown shit started, 
people are now hoarding coins? 

What the fuck is THAT all about? 

Anyway, I have used 'exact' change in probably 30 years. It makes me crazy when you're behind that fat little old idiot lady at the cash register and when everything's all said and done only then does she get out that ridiculous little fuckin' 70 year old change purse thing and starts counting out 98 fuckin' cents in pennies and nickels. It amazes me that my brain hasn't exploded 50 friggin' times all ready.

So everyday when I get back to the house I always, by habit, immediately take of my hat, empty my pockets, put my phone on the charger, and head for the bedroom to dump my change in the change jar. Been doing this for ever and a fuckin' day, and ain't gonna change any time soon. I actually have a separate bank account just for the change and the five dollar bills (that's a story for another day)  that we use for vacations and fucking around money.

Barb bought this set for me a few years back. When it's time to roll 'em up and bring 'em in (and YES  - I roll them myself. FUCK taking them to a coin counter machine and paying 12% commission), I grab a beer and a smoke, turn on some tunes, sit down and sort 'em up. It's good therapy and I really kinda get a kick outta doin' it.

This simple little thing is fuckin' brilliant. In each successive tray the holes get smaller. Ya pour all of the different coins in to the top tray and shake it. The coins fall through to the shelf they belong in.



It's relatively inexpensive and easy as shit to use.
