I really don't think I was breastfed as an infant.
I totally believe I would have remembered that experience vividly.
I love, love, love that peeps 'get' my quirkiness here.
Just so you know, there are peeps here who are quirkier than me.
Life Lesson...
I was fussing at myself yesterday while playing Golf as I was just making what I consider stupid mistakes on the course.
Ended up shooting an 87 overall which is not a bad score, but it felt bad.
My point - self-imposed standards tend to mar one's perspective.
Sam was clad in only a sports jacket and shoes...The Boyz quietly left out the back entrance to the Motel.
The Boyz would live to write another day, while Sam "The King of Soul" would be long remembered for those great songs 'Cupid'; "You Send Me"; Wonderful World"; and "Chain Gang".

ON this date in 1964 - Sam Cooke announced that he was cutting back on live performances to concentrate on songwriting and building his record labels.
Sam turned to those 'hitmaker songwriters' Bun Man and Mr. Purple and they began cranking out the hits.
The relationship was short-lived as Sam died later that year after being shot at the Hacienda Motel.

Bun coined the phrase "Put the yucky stuff under Yucca."
GWB loved the simplicity of the phrase as he had an affinity for simple things, so Nevada now has a mountain which glows in the dark.
ON this date in 2002 - U.S. President George W. Bush approved Nevada's Yucca Mountain as a site for long-term disposal of radioactive nuclear waste.
Over the objections of Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple, the last Dems to hold out, Bush would borrow a phrase from the NRA and state "Nuke 'em till they glow!"
Nevada residents were cool w/ the deal, they got a new signal beacon out of it as the mountain now 'glows' 24/7.
ON this date in 1958 - "The Dick Clark Show" debuted on ABC-TV.
Connie Francis, Pat Boone and Jerry Lee Lewis were the first performers to appear on the show.
A staple for the Boyz and me when I was growing up, Mr. P loved hearing Connie and Pat croon that evening, while Bun and I were enraptured by Jerry Lee...
My love for rockabilly was born and the rest is history...give me some Carl Perkins, Dave Edmunds, Eddie Cochran, Stray Cats, Brian Setzer, or Johnny Burnette any day...
And you may find yourself living in a country where school shootings, store shooting, parade shootings, synagogue shootings, and church shootings are shockingly normal.
And you may say "How the fuck did I get here"...
SAME AS IT EVER WAS
Morning Peeps,
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

Possibly!
But that doesn’t mean Republicans aren’t going to run with it and basically make it the only thing they talk about from now until the presidential election.

Special counsel Robert Hur ’s decision to release a report last week calling Joe Biden an “elderly man with a poor memory” was, quite obviously, the greatest thing to happen to the Republican Party since a government shutdown led to Bill Clinton having a little too much time on his hands.
Was Hur’s commentary on Biden’s mental state part of a politically motivated smear job ?

From Robert Kuttner
The Fed and the commentators in the financial press are in a kind of conspiracy of ignorance that gives too much weight to misleading economic indicators of price increases. The real economy—which is to say us—pays the real price.
