Young people. Damn.
These two make videos. They play music they've never heard before. Now a lot of people make videos like that - first time hearing Louis Armstrong. First time hearing Sonny and Cher. Stuff like that.
But these people. How young are they??
She's never heard of Meatloaf. He heard this song before - only this song - and only one time.
He thinks the name of it is Paradise.
And for the last hour and a half I've been watching them watching Meatloaf, and the Righteous Brothers, and the Beatles, and Queen. People and songs they never heard of. Never heard Unchained Melody. Never heard Bohemian Rhapsody. Never heard Hey Jude.
And listening to them explaining what they think the songs are talking about.
It's funny. It would be funnier if it wasn't so --- depressing??
Yeah....those songs were elevator music before those kids were born.
I love listening to them marvel at how those old artists were able to make such good music without 86,000 different electronic gizmos to cover a lack of talent.

Here in the San Gabriel valley (just east of Los Angeles) I was hoping the rain would limit the bombardment a bit, for my dog’s sake. But it didn’t, not at all. Fireworks all night, and got intense around 11:45 and lasted till about 12:30. Some amazingly large explosions, bright flashes that were far enough away that there was a noticeable delay before the boom. Everything from firecrackers to major sky works, all of which are illegal. And mixed in were things that sounded too much like gunshots not to be.
not even rain will stop the new years celebration apparently.
Everyone in Los Angeles observed the fireworks ban.

All quiet in the Western Front last night. A couple of isolated BOOMs between about 2030 and 0030, but nothing compared to other years. That's according to my wife, I was asleep by about 2315.

Joe, you have hit on the perfect interrogation device for law enforcement.
Detective: “Where are the diamonds?”
Suspect: “I am not telling you a darn thing.
Detective: “Have you had your daily Latin Lesson?”
Suspect: “My what?”
Detective: “The phrase employs the gerundive, a verbal adjective, of deleo, delere, delevi, deletum, "to destroy",[2] (delendus, -a, -um). The future passive participle "delenda" (meaning "to be destroyed") is then combined with the verb sum ("to be"[3]) or parts thereof…”
Suspect: “STOP, STOP, STOP! For gawd sakes stop! The diamonds are under my car in a baggie taped to the gas tank. Don’t ever do that to me again!”
Unconstitutional.
Violation of 8th Amendment.
"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

I spent many years being “oh so smart”. Now it’s all I know! And there are too many jerks in the world to be “oh so pleasant”!!
But being "Oh so pleasant" at the "Oh so smart" anal sphincters really riles them up!

Where is this from, Joe?
English translation:
How much longer will this fierce impetuosity of yours deceive us? To what extent will it exacerbate its unbridled arrogance?
Were you not moved at all by the night guard of the Palace, the night patrols of the city, the fear of the people, the gatherings of all good citizens, this well-guarded place where the Senate meets, the faces and gazes of these people? Don't you feel that your plans are exposed, don't you see that your conspiracy is now held together by the knowledge of all these people? What do you think we don't know about what you did last night or the night before, where you were, who you called, what plan you made, which of us do you think is unaware?
I copied the Latin text and found a Latin to Greek translator online.
You can find Cicero's Catiline Orations here: https://www.latin-is-simple.com/en/library/cicero/speeches-against-catiline/#google_vignette
The English translation...such elegant language!

It's all Greek to me.
Πόσο ακόμα αυτός ο λυσσαλέος σου ορμητισμός θα μας κοροϊδεύει; Μέχρι ποίου σημείου θα επιδεινώσει την αχαλίνωτη έπαρσή της;
Δεν σε συγκίνησαν καθόλου η νυχτερινή φρουρά του Παλατίου, οι νυχτερινές περιπολίες της πόλης, ο φόβος του λαού, οι συναθροίσεις όλων των καλών πολιτών, αυτός εδώ ο πολύ καλά φρουρούμενος τόπος όπου συνεδριάζει η Σύγκλητος, τα πρόσωπα και τα βλέμματα αυτών των ανθρώπων; Δεν αισθάνεσαι ότι τα σχέδιά σου είναι εκτεθειμένα, δεν βλέπεις ότι η συνωμοσία σου πλέον κρατιέται δεμένη από τη γνώση όλων αυτών; Τι πιστεύεις ότι δεν ξέρουμε για όσα έκανες τη νύχτα που πέρασε ή την προηγούμενη, πού ήσουν, ποιους συγκάλεσες, τι σχέδιο πήρες, ποιον από εμάς νομίζεις ότι αγνοεί;

Happy New Year!
Grant, O Lord, a prosperous and peaceful life, health and salvation, and the furtherance of all good things to all Thy servants here, and preserve them for many years.
