I have apparently reached the age where my brain decided to do a cleanup function to free up space.

That's how my brain decided that Dick Dale and Del Shannon were the same person.

Oh brother! I’m down the rabbit hole this morning!

Reading Rich Atkinson’s Liberation Trilogy about WW2 - and I did a little side research on Mildred Gillars aka “Axis Sally” - the American who was a radio propagandist for the Nazis.

A sad tale, a poignant tale, and a tale what resonates today.

This made me laugh!

My wife has a medicine that requires an injection. I do the injection for her. Couple of weeks ago, my son asked if he could do it. I had him watch me for 2 weeks and tonight he got to do it.

Friends - it did not go well!

Yes - it’s all me. My kid looked at me like “who in the hell are you?”

If he only knew! 😂🎸

Because we are a nerd heavy community - I believe y’all will enjoy this tidbit about the late Field Marshall Bernard Law Montgomery.

He apparently forbade coughing during his meetings.

Somehow my Apple Music decided to suggest Black Metal to me (too much Judas Priest??).

I apparently over-reacted in my efforts to banish it (👎🏻) because now the algorithm has decided that it’s Steve Winwood all the effing time.

Nothing against Winwood - but c’mon. That’s quite a passive aggressive punishment for rejecting black metal.

Just taking the temperature of the 170,000 members of CoSo… #CoSoMusic #CoSoPolls

Which do you prefer?

How nice! I received this in the mail today for donating blood.

Okay - this is really hard.

Spot the copperhead

The Washington Post is spot on here.

There’s hate, and then there is the burning hot hate of 10,000 suns that this courtroom sketch artist has for this guy.

Hahahahahaha!

I cautioned my son and my wife to watch out for maypole dancing and other pagan rituals today - so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

They looked at me like I’m a dumbass.

It’s all fun and games until they bring out the bear.

Screwing around with the guy who owns this place in the 5 o-clock AM hour is not the way to start one’s day.

Posting this for anybody who might need to be reminded…

This is brilliant!

I watch CNN quite a bit, and based on the commercials - 90% of their audience must suffer from plaque psoriasis. Every other damned commercial is for rx psoriasis meds.

Do y’all donate blood? I’ve hit a benchmark with this last donation.
