Give it up! Give it up!

Show off! I am guessing the M1A is gods favorite and rifle that appears to be an Enfield on the hearth is a special rifle.

They remind me of ladders (stairs) aboard Navy Vessels…only not with alternating steps.

I gave up on listening, watching, reading pretty much all news except for The Epoch Times. I have their app and receive Headline emails from them. They focus a lot on China as well as US news. I no longer listen to AM talk radio or NPR. I didn’t listen to NPR too often, maybe for short periods once or twice a week up until a couple of years ago. I couldn’t take their “city-head” blather. City-Head is a term I came up with working in public transit agencies and working with and interacting with personnel from other public agencies. This included people from other large agencies like New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Portland, Charlotte and others. These people also work on Federal Agencies that I interacted with regularly. These are people that live and literally spend all their time in cities. Their point of view is completely PC and bears no semblance to the Constitution in any way except the First Amendment. Big Brother is their guide as long as Big Brother acknowledges their collective concerns. Most are book smart, but not really intelligent. Boy, am I getting into the weeds. Enough of that. My bottom line is I got to the point I didn’t trust any news agency. They’re all corrupt to some degree. They ALL have an agenda. I tolerate Epoch Times because I know their agenda. It’s not really about manipulating things in the U.S. It’s more about religious and human rights in China. I despise manipulators. I hate them. I mean I truly hate them. I grew up with a small time con-man and manipulator. It was my Dad. I learned from him and his crooked friends all about taking advantage of people and conning money out of them. They were like a pack of American Gypsies. Always scheming. Always. One day after graduating high school but still being underage at 17 I packed my stuff and left. I guess I kind of did the same with mainstream news and television. I watch Amazon, Paramount+ and Netflix. My wife and I drove cross country in my Miata. I am in CA now. Each night the hotel TVs had normal cable channels with 10-12 minutes of a show and 5-6 minutes of commercials. How can anyone watch that crap? I sure can’t. Thank goodness I have an iPhone and unlimited data.

Dangit! Otto got me. I know I wrote “Hecho” Nope, wasn’t Otto. I screwed up. I just did a little experiment and it wasn’t Otto.

It’s Hencho en Chine. Get it right next time. Just busting your chops…and you’re right. China has no UL (underwriters laboratories)

I am trying out a new News Service called “1440”. Supposedly it’s news with no bias. I just signed up today, coincidentally. We’ll see…

Imagine getting word that a loved one died in that fashion. That’s pretty f#*£ing callous, if you asked me. Edit: forgot a word

Yep, you’re right. Murdoch made sure key positions are filled by leftists so, yes, their news is biased and inaccurate and untrustworthy in many instances. EDIT: You cannot trust any single news source. You need a variety of sources.

This is truly saddening. Rest in Peace, Duke.

We have a Tim Horton’s in Morgantown, West Virginia. I do like their Honey Crullers. My favorite is their Boston Cream. I buy one of each every time I go there. Best donuts in my area.

If I somehow got kicked out of this country the only other country I would want to live in would be Italy. Love the people and the food. It’s my favorite place out of all the countries I have been to outside the USA. I love Italian food. Love it! Love it! Love it!

The Pakistanis sure know we have one.

I darned one sock when I was in the Navy. After standing a 4 hour quarterdeck watch with that little knot of sock and thread pressing against the tip of mug big toe. My toe hurt for a week after that. Some beer money went for new socks afterwards.

I have some family photos like that somewhere.
