Holy Cow!
Cubs are in the World Series!
Political Error Message
Time to re-boot.
Macy's Clock
In the rain.
Columbus Day Holiday
This holiday has always had a kind of hollow ring about it to me. But hey - a paid day off is always a good thing!
Marshawn Lynch Critiques The Second Debate
I think CNN would do well to hire the ex-Seahawks running back for occasional commentary on politics.
October Surprise
Pretty good so far, but please keep trying. Perhaps you might focus on the Boston Red Sox today.
FUBAR
Today's word is FUBAR.
Definition: Fucked up beyond all recognition.
As in "This election cycle is FUBAR".
Traveling In Style
People used to dress up for travel, instead of down. And of course there was always smoke. Lots of smoke.
The Morning After Debate #1
I ended up watching football last night. It was an entertaining game in which I had no particular rooting interest. My friends who watched Debate #1, on the other hand, most all of whom had a rooting interest for one of the two candidates, seem to have woken up this morning looking something like this.
Debate #1
Two screens tonight. Monday Night Football with sound, and the Debate screen muted, with closed-captioning deployed to shut out the jackal noise of the studio audience. #Debates2016
Inside Roger Goodell's NFL Bunker
The German translator's English is not so good, but Patriots fans will cut him some slack. It is rare to be able to look inside Chancellor Goodell's NFL Bunker and see what really happens there after an exciting weekend of NFL football.
The Kid
Ted Williams, Minneapolis Millers. 1938.
I Shot The Serif
But I did not shoot the sans-serif...
This Is The Land Of The Living
From 2016
Before today, I've stayed away from all of the historical footage and commentary on the 15th anniversary of 9/11, because I can still see it and feel it, and it still hurts. So I'm keeping it simple this year. Lucy's beautiful song helps.
Electile Dysfunction
The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put forth by either party during an election year. If the condition lasts more than six weeks, you're screwed.
Also the title of a new book by Alan Dershowitz, which I have no interest in reading. I just like the title.
Jean Harlow, 1932
Colorizing black-and-white photos certainly does add depth and dimension to them.
Post-Labor Day Re-boot
It's 66 degrees and raining, and I'm into my third coffee.
Better With Age
I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.
At The Wheel, 1928
Somehow, I think this was mostly for show.I don't think that the seats were super-adjustable. But then again, she looks like she has done it before.
On Our Own
It was so much more fun being a kid in the mid-Twentieth Century.
