Some Links For The Overnight To Keep You Busy.....


 Summitted by blog reader  "D" who adds this personal heading:



I am noticing - in a totally opinionated way - a dramatic uptick in "good stuff" that needs to be passed along.  I have a gut feel that in the next year or two things are going to get markedly different, globally.
It could be a China-attacks-Japan-drawing-
in-the-US thing, or Russia/Ukraine-or-someone, or Israel attacks Iran with Saudi & other help, or, or, or.  But I have the sensation we're approaching an inflection point in the world.  There are far too many piles of flame-ready tinder around the world, and far too many people playing with matches - both domestically and globally, for something to not catch fire.  And once one fire starts, it'll spread.  And I fear - FEAR - the accuracy of the line from "The Hunt from Red October"....


"Things are going to get out of control, and we'll be lucky to live through it."

♫♫ In The Flesh.... Live Concert For Saturday Night... ♫♫



For the record, I disagree with Roger Water's personal politics but I do enjoy the timeless music he has created. A few years back JENNIFER did a great post in regards to the celebrities that need to  Shut Up and DANCE MONKEY.

  I totally agree with her sentiments. I rarely watch TV anymore. I don't go to movies unless I know the actors or director ( Clint Eastwood, American Sniper I will see) are not complete liberal hypocrits like Liam Neeson and most of the shitbags in Hollyweird. 

Anyway, I think you get my drift... 


 If you enjoy Pink Floyd's Roger Waters music then this concert is amazing. I've streamed it
a few times as background tunes for the bunker while the machines are running.










This is what I use for "streaming" Pandora, youtube, I Heart Radio Etc.

 I have a Dell hooked up to the preamp and amps that are powering a pair of PSB Gold Stratus speakers up on the mezzanine. I've had all the stuff for years and decided to put it together
here at the shop a couple years ago.

As you can imagine, it sounds damn good. This video from my cell phone doesn't do it justice.















Be Careful Out There.......

Saturday Night Chores....




















Oprah and "team" to march in Selma for Martin Luther King, Jr.

Along the way, and in Dallas County particularly, I hope she and her "team" take notice of how Martin's dream of equality was squandered and how three and four generation blacks and whites have since been hamstrung by complacency and apathy which are the by-products of  a failed welfare system (aka. LBJ's "Great Society). The quality of life for blacks and whites living in rural areas (urban too for that matter) is so much lower now than than it was in 1965. Yes, they have EBT cards, subsidized housing, utilities, Medicaid (soon to be obolacare), obola phones, gold dental bling, 22's on their rides,  etc. but few of these recipients have two parents living under the same roof, a chance for a career other than crime or drawing a .gov check, a chance to own a decent home, and high probability of being killed before reaching old age, etc. I hope this makes you "feel good" Oprah. 

The article is lame, but the comments are interesting. Click here to read them. 

The Bunker........





Two men in Germany were out exploring the fields when they found two pipes sticking up from the ground in the middle of nowhere. What they discovered is nothing short of amazing. 
 




This is the description of the above photo:

 So when visiting an old friend in northern germany (formerly GDR) he told me about these weird periscope like pipes in the woods. they often played there as kids and knew about the bunkers below, but never were allowed to get near them. Last week we decided to check them out and this is our report. (sry for my bad english, im trying my best)
