Poor Behavior

THIS idiot interpreted a one minute bathroom break of mine on Saturday night as express permission to drag a pizza and a box of donuts onto the floor.

 

I was not pleased. 

It's Obvious

Octopuses are sentient. I'm not budging on this point.

Double Standard at the Grammys

If men can get a ticket for walking around naked then why can't women?

I'm old enough to have memories of when Madonna was chased out of certain towns and cited for swearing during concerts smw.. things sure are different!

A Pilgrimage to Clear Lake

Late Friday night YaYa invited me on a trip the next day to Clear Lake, Iowa, where Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens passed away. I was already committed to visiting my Mom, having done some grocery shopping for her, and so passed on a trip I would have thoroughly enjoyed. Late Saturday night, YaYa posted a wonderful tribute to the lost stars - Dan

Early trip to Iowa to commemorate the Day the Music Died. I've always wanted to visit as i grew up listening to Buddy Holly’s music often (thanks, Dad) but it’s surreal to think that at 23 I've lived longer than a musical icon whose art is still appreciated today. It was freezing and got dark quickly but I'm glad to have gone. We got to see the Surf Ballroom as well - line out the door for a tribute event. -

Again, We Mourn

 

My thoughts on February 3rd inevitably focus on the three artists (and their pilot) who were killed on this date in 1959. 

The loss to their families, and of course to rock and roll itself, is immeasurable. 

RIP Buddy, Ritchie, and The Big Bopper. 66 years later, you are still missed. 

Kudos

Smiley got this wonderful thank you from a table he served last night at work.  Great job!

Why??

 

After only one week back in use, the Little Library we take care of in front of the high school was vandalized again, with someone apparently punching through both layers of plexiglass on the door 

There is no reason to do that, no reason to harm the property of another, much less shared property used for the common good. No reason, that is, except a lack of decency, upbringing, and manners. 

Will we repair it yet again? 

Probably. Maybe. I don't know.
