You are a ROCK, Princess...
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll
YOU NEVER ROLL!
Bless you Lady, doing okay, going to hang up working though...I can't handle the rampant variability that is a golf course and its management...too shoddy for my liking and for my mental health (I just get too angry, and it ain't pretty)
So, after playing today, I am going to pen a resignation letter and give them notice.
ON this date in 1967 - Pat Boone, the owner of the Oakland Oaks, sang the national anthem at the first game of the new American Basketball Association.
That afternoon, he asked world-renown tenors Bun Man and Mr. Purple to join him for this momentous occasion.
The Boyz began by singing "On a day like today, we pass the time away..." rather than "O say can..."
Pat busted up, but only a few in the crowd got the reference.
October 13th used to be NO BRA DAY
Is it still?
Asking for my friend Fingers...
Oh yeah, I'm from Missouri
Show me those babies...
Bun replied, taken aback by being called Willis by his bestest buddy P, but anyway, he said "I mean if this dude were still alive today, he'd be a viable President candidate for some people."
Mr. P added, "Yea, demented people..."

ON this date in 1995 - Tupac Shakur was released from jail after 8 months.
The charges were for groping and fondling a woman in a New York hotel room.
Bun Man turned to Mr. P and said "See, I told you the dude was ahead of his time..."
Mr. P replied, "What you talking about Willis?"

SOMETIMES, THEY'RE MAN-EATERS, WATCH OUT BOY, WATCH OUT BOY...
Chuckles: Oh here I come, watch out boy I'll chew you up, oh here I come, I'm a man-eater
Ken-Dogger: I wouldn't if I were you (but it does look like you did already), I know what she can do, she's deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart, mind over matter, the beauty is there but a beast is in the heart
Chuckles: The Mikster's not gonna be happy
KD: Not so much...
(Hall & Oates - Maneater)
HEED THE FLOWERS LIFE GIVES YA
Ken-Dogger: A flower Cleo?
Cleo: Yea Boy…I’m bringing you one.
KD: And why is that?
C: Well, I noticed early on, you tended to me, we took long walks, we cuddled…now, not so much.
KD: Well, relationships grow and they change dynamics
C: I want to sing songs again, play again, all the stuff we did when flowers were fresh.
KD: I miss that too…
C: Hence the Flower Bro, heed the Flowers life gives ya…
Why be tethered to the truth when his lying works so well for his ilk.
Morning Peeps,
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS HOMERS EVER
ON this date in 1960 (I was 10 at the time) - The World Series ended on a home run for the first time.
Bill Mazurowski's homerun allowed the Pirates to beat the Yankees.
I actually watched this on TV while at my cub scout meeting w/ Bun Man and Mr. Purple at Mrs. Crosby's house in Nanticoke Annex.
At the time, I was a Yank fan but never during the Steinbrenner era.
Gotta work Peeps
Enjoy your Saturday
Peace Love Dove Peeps

Peace Prize Winner
A Japanese anti-nuclear weapons advocacy group—made up of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki—was awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize yesterday, capping off a week of recognitions in physics, literature, and more. The group is the first Japanese recipient since 1974 to receive the Peace Prize.

The Radical GOP wants to kill Scientists now...
What is next?
Talkin' bout you and me.
ON this date in 1492 - Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, sighted Watling Island in the Bahamas.
He believed that he had found Asia while attempting to find a Western Ocean route to India.
Crewmembers Bun Man and Mr. Purple, knowing full well this wasn't Asia because they didn't see any Geisha Girls on shore, just looked around and shook their heads at Christopher's folly.
