NYC back in the day when WWII started...
An Italian spaghetti house and a German health food store next to each other on 86th St. in New York, Jan. 22, 1942. You could get spaghettis or ravioli dinners for twenty cents. It's my understanding the Germans closed shop when we entered the war with Germany...
A Friday night delight from the Twisted Hillbilly boys...

A great memory for me and my family...
77 years ago this week, my Father (who was home on leave and having just returned from the south Pacific and the Battle of Leyte Gulf) took his fiance - my Mother - to the '400 Club' in New York City.
According to an ad in the Sunday Mirror (an NYC Daily paper at the time) Charlie Barnet and his orchestra were headlining at the 400 Restaurant at Fifth Avenue and 43rd Street, appearing with "Marga" and her rhumbas. Barnet was a socialite playboy turned swing band leader who had a string of hits in the late 1930s and early 1940s, most notably "Cherokee." He was one of the first to have an integrated band. Fran Warren was his vocalist at this time. Noted trumpeter Al Killian also was featured in the band. The club featured continuous dancing from 6:30 PM to 3:00 AM. The New Yorker Magazine listed flamboyant drummer Gene Krupa and his band as the attraction as well.
My God she was beautiful.

Starting in Key West, this 2,369 mile route follows the Eastern Seaboard up through 15 states to the Canadian border in Fort Kent, Maine.
If you do the trip on Rte. I-95, google maps says you can go top to bottom in 31 hrs. If you do it on Rte. 1, you won't live long enough to get there...
Getting past woke and moving forward. Finally...
It's hard to believe the stupid shit people did in the name
of woke-osity and all manners of other crazy bullshit...
What did I miss?

Hurricane Sandy beat the shit out of the Jersey Shore when it made landfall in October 2012. Homes filled with water. Boats washed up on people’s lawns and on the Brielle Avenue bridge. Also, a real estate sign went missing.
It had been planted in back of a house for sale on Cedarcrest Drive, facing a narrow inlet called Debbie’s Creek in Brielle. The sign was 18 by 24 inches and about an inch thick and made of plastic composite. It disappeared along with the post it was mounted to and was never seen again.
Until around May 14, 2018. On a beach in France, 3,595 miles away. A man walking along the Plage du Pin Sec, near Bordeaux, spotted it.

A-1669 is a state law passed by the legislature and signed into law by Governor Phil Murphy. It took effect on January 1, 2025. The new law PROHIBITS (yes that needs to be in all-caps) anyone from requiring that new teacher-hires must be able to read and write. You read that correctly.
Proponents believe it’s a necessary change to address difficulties recruiting teachers; critics assert that it’s bar on basic skills tests for teachers will negatively impact teacher quality.
“Notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the State Board of Education shall be prohibited from requiring a commissioner-approved educator preparation program to require the completion of a commissioner-approved test of basic reading, writing, and mathematics skills including,” the new law explains, “but not limited to, the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators test, as a condition for admission.”
We might as well throw in the towel for states like Jersey.
The future there will be very bleek...

The owner of a popular waffle shop in West Seattle said she had no choice but to shut down her business after the city’s new minimum wage law went into effect on New Year’s Day —
hiking minimum hourly pay to $20.76.

Who's the worst attention whore out there these days? (and is not a Kardashian)...
Between her and her worthless POS husband, it's a tough call. I can't imagine how anyone would ever give a fuck about this phony dooshtool, but hey - she's making money off of whatever the fuck it is she does. 'Domestic goddess' my ass...

Drones 'the size of buses' and nobody gives a shit? Wow...
The 'drone problem' in and around New Jersey hasn't gone away, it's just back-page news - something from last year. How is it possible that our federal government - tasked simply with our safety and security - doesn't have a fuckin' clue what they are and who's running them?
Serously scary shit, my friends.
There's a report about these sightings here.
Who's searching for what, when and why?
Seems kind of Euro-centric, doesn't it?

What's so funny about being so cold...
When it's hotter than fuck out, the alarmist 'climate change' crowd goes batshit, but when it gets cold, they're nowhere to be found. Fascinating, isn't it?
And I'm sure each and every one of us has a theory about why they stopped calling it 'global warming' almost overnight. Ya see, like most of their other whackjob theories, going from hot to cold (you know, when the 'climate changes') doesn't suit their value signalling, so they clam up. Enough with this shit already.

Who the hell has a 'butter bank'?
Poland is selling up to 1,000 metric tons (1,102 tons) of its frozen butter reserves to bring down surging prices ahead of presidential elections in May. The government’s strategic reserves agency announced the butter auction Tuesday, citing significant increases in butter prices worldwide that it blamed on a shortage of milk.
“This emergency action… should contribute to stabilizing butter prices in the market,” the agency said, according to a report by CNN affiliate TVN24, a local commercial news channel. The bidding process is due to start Thursday.
