Is anybody out there LISTENING?

The USGS has determined that the epicenter of the Va earthquake was in a graveyard just outside of DC. The cause appears to be all of our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.

Soar Like an Eagle

The Writing is On the Wall for All to See

Steve Wynn, a casino resort/real-estate developer who has been credited with spearheading the dramatic resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas Strip, talks about the Fall of America.

Still Popular, After All These Years!

I was *thrilled* last week to receive my Mary Maxim catalogue and discover, to my GREAT delight, there on the COVER (!!!) NOW BEING ADVERTIZED FOR SALE AS A KIT for only $70 through a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ENTITY . . . .

MY $10,000 PRIZE-WINNING CATHEDRAL WINDOW AFGHAN!!!!



(My only regret is that folks seem to think the original color scheme isn't "good enough" for a "Modern" audience, and have chosen all shades of purple. Well, in their defense, it *IS* deucedly difficult to FIND yarn that looks like sunshine through centuries old stained glass!)

Which do YOU prefer?

I Know It's True -- You Can, Too!

Thomas Jefferson couldn't have said it better!

"Apologia"

I have been told that I have strayed from the original purpose of this blog, which was to "Rejoice in my posterity.'

I have strayed into politics, and interesting U-Tube videos, and cartoons, and other things that have nothing whatsoever to do with my posterity.

In my defense, I wish to point out that my posterity has strayed away from blogging to Facebook, and everything of interest seems to happen there these days! Hence, MY BLOG has become, more and more, a place for me to observe the world around me, and comment on it, hopefully for the betterment of my posterity.

Hence, the new subtitle.

It began as a way for me to keep up with my posterity; it is now a way for my posterity to keep in touch with me, and for me to keep a record for future generations of the great and momentous happenings of my days.

And if that's not good enough . . . you can get your own Blog!!!

Too Funny Not to Share

New Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Flavor

In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: "Barocky Road."

Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100.00 per scoop. When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you.

You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream.

Are you stimulated?
