A couple of lighter topics today...

Want to know what was No. 1 on the music charts in the US and UK on the day you were born? Visit "this day in music" web site. Heck, I'm so old that the charts don't even go back that far. I followed the instructions in the note to have it look up my 'life's theme song' which was whatever was no. 1 on my 18th birthday. My 'life's theme songs' are: US -- Do Wah Diddy Diddy - Manfred Man UK -- (There’s) Always Something There To Remind Me - Sandie Shaw I'm not sure how the US hit is a

Ever Have One Of Those Days...

...when the anticipation of all you have to do over the coming weekend just makes you want to crawl in a hole somewhere? This weekend I've got to help with a clean-up in a cemetery, attend the memorial service that will take place after we finish the clean-up, do the draft of a newsletter that I've committed to start for a historical society, do likewise on getting a web site put together so the society's honchos can decide if they like it, and try to get as much as possible done toward finishi

Another interesting blog script

Ever wonder which modern US President you're most like? Now, not the one you like/liked the best but the one you're most similar to. Here's what it told me. Go to the link in the promo line at the end to run your own. You Are Most Like George H. W. Bush You're considered boring by people that don't know you well. But like Bush senior, you do crazy things. Maybe you'll end up banning broccoli in your house, or puking on the Prime Minster of Japan! What Modern US President Are

What I did on my Saturday night

My wife and I typically don't go out for entertainment on weekends since everything costs so much nowadays and most all venues are some distance away from where we live. But a new venue called the "Mockingbird Opry" had its first show last night (sort of a test run to see what attendance might be) in a small town just 15 miles or so south of us. One of the featured acts was a bluegrass group called the "Amite River Boys." Damn good show! I had a secondary reason for wanting to go since one

New pet picture added

Check out the custom content block to the right and down the page to see the newest addition to our menagerie of pets. "Tiger" came to us as another stray. Someone threw a mother cat and two kittens out in our area in the aftermath of the Katrina hurricane when everyone was still recovering from power outages and the like. They took up residence in the wooded area behind my neighbor's house and she began putting food out for them. After a quite a number of days, my neighbor's daughter, a sto

Here's something you UK-ers might find interesting

A "pibroch" (or "pibrough" as it sometimes spelled) is basically a militaristic hymn intended to encourage avid support for a cause. I heard a version of a Scottish pibroch about the Scots' support of Bonnie Prince Charlie by a Confederate reenactor group/band called the 12th Louisiana String Band (album named "Songs of the Southern Highlands"). Since this song is in the public domain, I "borrowed" the tune and composed new words to give yet another description/Confederate tribute centered on th

Go to this web site and pick out a card, enter the information requested including a short customized message if you like, and submit the result. A card will be sent to a randomly-chosen US soldier on duty in the Middle East.

Well, I've been expecting this...

I've been expecting that the American public was going to be led down the garden path with all the assurances being given after the Patriot Act went into use and more electronic surveillance was being done. Everyone kept hearing how the average person WASN'T the target of the surveillance and need not fear that their conversations and e-mails would be "stolen" and potentially passed on to others. Well, now comes the first "official" to take the next step and say that the citizens need to accept

A memory of a significant event from my past

On 10 January 1975 an F4 tornado roared across Pike County, a corner of Lincoln County and into Lawrence County in southwest Mississippi, following a typical tornadic path to the northeast from its point of origin. The funnel first appeared at treetop height in the northeast corner of Percy Quin State Park and cut a swath through forested areas until it neared the open pasture land area on the outskirts of McComb, MS. There the storm dropped to the surface. Crossing Interstate Hwy. 55, the

...And even more blog scripts...

You Are A Maple Tree There's not anyone in this world quite like you. You are full of imagination, ambition, and originality. Shy but confident, you hunger for new experiences.

Boy, am I pissed!

My employer has decided that TIWWA should be an off-limits web site on the internet at work so now it's blocked. Of course, the silly sites that a lot of the women like such as recipes, crafts, etc. are still ok. It might have been different if I used work hours to access the web for personal reasons, but I never went anywhere during work that didn't have some connection to work. May put a dent in my posting of unusual internet news and jokes since I may not have time to do all that

Interesting Pix Of Supposedly Archaic Artifacts

If anyone is interested in supposedly archaic artifacts that indicate the existence of a level of technology inconsistent with the time line of the culture's development, visit here:Lost Technology?I'd sure like to know what the last "thing" is that has the hieroglyphics.

Boy, talk about a news item out of left field!

On the internet:American radio icon Don Imus disgraced, fired after threat to reveal 9/11 secrets Now, does Pravda think that every American news service got the wrong impression of why Imus was fired? Note that the whole 'blow-up' over his on-air comment isn't even mentioned in the Pravda article. I noticed before that Pravda seems to have switched to tabloid journalism since they lost their stature as a news organ for USSR propaganda. They've been going for the celebrity news and the re

Idle Pre-Christmas chatter

Plan to do some music at a meeting I'm attending tonight. Going to try to do an acceptably on-key rendering of "For the Sake of Our Brother" from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's album, The Lost Christmas Eve. Edited for updating: Well, 'the best laid plans...' don't always work out. Couldn't do the song, did do a couple of other, non-seasonal tunes. The meeting/Christmas party was a bit of a bust with only about half the expected attendance. Did meet a friend's son-in-law, who hails from Manc

Political bravado or just extemporaneous comment?

A metaphorical headline for articles on this might ought to be "Tony Blair Seeks More Nails for His Political Coffin". Considering that the UK politicos' concept of social consciousness is even more PC than that in the US, I wonder if Tony Blair knew the possible outcome of his comments. Blair blames spate of murders on black culture

Global Warning -- The science not the hype

I was glad to see this article published as an alternative to all the hype that keeps being foisted on the people of the Western Hemisphere, particularly in the US. I'm sure the liberal politicos, Al Gore in particular, and the even-more liberal celebrities from Hollywood and the music world will want to have a lot of this science pooh-poohed as not believable. However, since the "alarmist" rantings always come down to believe me because I said so and not because I can prove anything scientifi

Potentially controversial news

I thought I'd better put these here instead of the regular board so nobody gets bent out of shape about commenting on politics and cultural issues: I think the main thrust of this article should be to make everybody take notice of the sad shape we've let the educational system in the US get into: Gun class for Utah teachers =============================================== U.S. agents question teen -- Girl ran anti-Bush page on MySpace A picture caption from the article: "McCl
