The first day I have nothing to say about anything

 Will probably be the day after I die. What's the point of having opinions otherwise?

That's the arch in Washington Square Park in NYC. Did you 
not notice that all of them are completely nekkid?

The kid who lived across the street from 
me growing up had one of these:

When The Atomic Energy Lab hit the market in 1950, promising more than 150 "exciting experiments" for the junior scientist, it was one of the most elaborate science kits available. In addition to four small jars of actual uranium, it had beta-alpha, beta, and gamma radiation sources. It contained a cloud chamber, a spinthariscope (a device for watching atoms decay – FUN!), an electroscope, and a Geiger counter to see if your dog, Spot, was sneaking radioactive scraps from your lab behind your back, the scamp.
The lab, which sold for $49.50, also included a 60-page instruction book and a guide to mining uranium. But wait, there’s more. 
The kit boasts a handy manual on how to split atoms. I know what you’re thinking: Gosh, that sounds dangerous. Well, don’t worry Mom and Dad, the manual features the classic comic book couple Blondie and Dagwood Bumstead, as well as their children, dog and friends, who all explain the basics of atomic energy. So you know it’s safe.

He couldn't possibly go quiet in to the night.

David Lee Roth has announced his retirement from rock and roll.
The Van Halen frontman, 66, surprised all when he announced he'll be done performing after his previously scheduled January 8th show at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
'I am throwing in the shoes. I'm retiring,' Roth said.

That look you get from your wife when she finds out you banged her Maid of Honor after the rehearsal.

Ahhh - the good old days in New York City...

The best deal in small tablets just got better. 

 
For under $ 40 bucks you can't go wrong.
Hell - I'd pick up a couple at this price and save 'em for Christmas presents!

This is Mt. St. Helens before and after it's eruption. 
I can't imagine how loud that musta been.

This may well be the most Florida Thanksgiving 
thing you'll ever see.

Oh, that's right - I don't own one anymore...

Back when entertaining the eye was at least as important as functionality. 
This is a 1942 Wurlitzer Model 42 Victory Juke Box - the model your 
Mom and Dad danced to.

The Soggy Dollar bar on Jost Van Dyke in the BVI's. My kinda bar. Spent many a drunken sunny day on that beach.

When I find something I really like I'm happy to be able 
to tell you guys about it. This is one of them.
Really fast charger, re-charges itself just by being in the light.

For under $ 23 bucks, it's crazy not to have one. 
Even comes with the charger cord.

Tell me why every carpenter, contractor or 
construction worker's pockets are exactly like 
this at the end of every day.
 That's my shit from my pocket...

I had mentioned the other day that I looked like Jed Clampett 
when I was doing the I-95 shuttle before moving down here, 
and I stumbled across this pic of the truck yesterday.

Dozens of cargo ships anchored off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the US face shocking wait times of up to four weeks while railyards and trucking routes are hopelessly clogged due to the lack of manpower to unload goods - with an expert warning that the government needs to intervene or face spiraling inflation and unemployment. 
The backlog of billions of dollars of toys, clothing, electronics, vehicles, and furniture comes as the demand for consumer goods hit its highest point in history as consumers stay home instead of spending money on travel and entertainment. Supply chains have lagged far behind consumer demand due to a lack of manpower at American ports and the restrictions that came with the COVID-19 outbreak early last year. 
These constraints, which include social distancing and mandatory quarantines, have severely limited the number and ability of port workers to do their jobs.

If you like Calvin as much as I do, wouldn't this make a great gift for one of (or all of) your kids or grandkids?

  1. Doesn't anyone in that Queen's neighborhood at least own a good air pellet gun.
    Ah, the rumpled up money,my mother used to call that a sign of a misspent evening
    The Life Mag was from 1964, I didn't know that the the media was already souring on Vietnam in 1964. I thought that really didn't get going till after the Tet Offensive.
    As far as those shipping back ups. They're definitely all true. can't get people to off load them and then can't trucks to haul away from rail yards. This is going to be around for awhile I'm afraid. It's destroying the automobile industry because of all the parts that come from Asia

  2. The original patent in 1890 from S. Wheeler shows the the opposite method.

    The correct way for the roll is - The way the WIFE says it is.
