Good one!!!
Some one mentioned going to work this morning, please refrain from using that word on the thread as that scares some of us non-working types.
If we're still talking about favorite Rush songs, this would have to be my all time favorite...

Good morning all. Strange dream last night of aliens wanting to abduct me. I told them to put on their pants and if they tried to abduct me again I'd rip them a new one and shove a probe up it. They went away mumbling something about going to get smoked brisket?
I just went outside and it feels like a wet 80 degrees, I'll say it's 80 and muggy. Chances of severe scattered thunderstorms today are 50% after 7:00 AM. I'll be back from my walk about that time. Relax a bit and if there are no storms on the weather radar walk to Trader Joe's for a couple of things.
I'm going to head out for my walk now. If I run into those aliens I sure hope they found their pants and put them back on. Each of you have a great day!
If you like the Coen Brothers, and I'm guessing there's a fan or two around here, you'll like their latest, "Hail, Caesar".
It's not their best, but I give it a solid 8, on a scale of one to ten.
The cast is great, with new actors (Ralph Feinnes) and old favorites (Frances McDormand)). The story is interesting, the acting is top-notch as always, and the characters are as quirky as ever. And it has that Coen-esque visual appeal!
This movie let them show several old movie styles, like those old swim movies, and singing cowboy westerns.
This movie never made it to the big-screen, at least in these parts. I was disappointed. I try to see all their work as it was meant to be seen, before I watch it at home.
Anyway, thumbs up- recommended!
Independence Day the aliens are back. National Museum of the Air Force, Rand McNally took me to the wrong gate again. According to the Airman on gate duty it happens all the time.
I forgot to take my "mobility impaired" hanger with me, I had to hike in..not making that mistake again.
The Museum has electric mobility carts available free, I think that alone is worth a $50 donation, done!

Who needs to do this, that and wash up, wife still in bed, this is a good thing, she needs her rest. Tomorrow starts the long journey west to Colorado, we will see how that goes.
I am self-identifying as unidentifiable. That way when I am on a plane, I will be a UFO.
Just pretend this is hwitty.
In case those aliens were real, and not a dream, remember the phrase " Klaatu Barada Nikto ".

And sleep lightly if you notice unusual agricultural activity.

My try at getting to be a juvenile delinquent. Think I was 6, maybe 7. AFB my Dad was doing construction on. So the neighborhood was filled with military kids. We had a bully, Tony, who was probably 12 or so, mother was a German warbride, anybody remember that term? He picked on smaller, younger kids! Dad had a rule,if you can't whip them, make hurt so bad they leave you alone. Tony got me once alone! Next time I was ready! When he came after me, he failed to notice the ball bat I had behind my back. He took the first swing, I took the final, a roundhouse to his head! They called an ambulance and the sheriff! Deputy who came saw my age vs. Tony, and told my Mom that they had a stack of reports on Tony. Nothing further was done, imagine that now! For some reason no other kids wanted to try me again? Lasted till we moved to the next base construction project in another state. Kids in those days were different, and things only flared up once in a while? A mean slide into a base, a rough tackle or similar usually solved everything. Mercurochrome and a bandaid, and on to the next day!As a 5th grader, I once beat a 6th grade kid down...and choked him...in Sunday School...in church...because he mocked my grandmother who announced a "weenie roast" for the kids. If not for the efforts of the Sunday School teacher, I may have ended up in kiddie custody undergoing therapy. That kid nearly met his Maker that very day. Do not mess with grandma.
Now I want beanie weenies.
Just pretend this is hwitty.
Just in case they are around I will be wearing pants to keep down the possibility of probes, don't want no stupid probes.
