An unusual Valentine's Day song:

I hope everyone has the chance to take this song literally:


Enjoy!

I dreamed last night that all criminals were miniaturized and put on a farm way out in the country.

How soon before we can make this a reality?

... parlez vous.

Peter Jackson, who directed all of those Lord of the Rings movies, produced and directed this magnificent documentary about WWI:


It is magnificent.

I liked this song when it first came out:


I heard it Sunday on the local oldies station while in my car. After re-hearing the lyrics, it made me think that maybe, with a little spy camera, it would make for an excellent stalking opportunity.

I found out today that Robert Conrad, star of the 1960s and 1970s t.v. shows "The Wild Wild West" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" has passed away at age 84.

He started out as a stunt man and on The Wild Wild West did his own stunts. That show was a western, but Conrad played James West, a U.S. Secret Service agent. It was billed as 'James Bond meets the wild west'. It aired for 5 seasons and was quite popular.

Baa Baa Back Sheep was a show about American pilots in the South Pacific during WWII.

Robert was known as a tough guy. He did commercials for a battery company where he would put a D cell battery on his shoulder and dare you to knock it off.

The Wild Wild West aired on CBS during my formative years, 1965 - 1970. Reruns are still shown even today.

I miss the show and will miss seeing Conrad.

Another hero from my past gone like dust in the wind.

We used to say:

"Killing two birds with one stone."

Now we say that's multi-tasking.

We used to say:

"Let me check my answering machine."

Now we say we're checking our voicemail.

And one more...

The # symbol used to mean pound.

Now it's "hashtag."

There's many, many more. I just used those to make a point and that is that everything changes. Becomes modernized, I suppose. I like to use the old terms, simply to confuse people who aren't old like me. lol

... and they keep dragging me back in.

Politics.

No one is immune to the nasty business and sometimes you can't help but speak your mind, I guess.

I AM trying to curb my tongue, though. It was meant for better, more satisfying things.

Trump ruled not guilty.

A lot of time and energy wasted on an outcome everyone knew was coming.

History repeats itself with one exception:

Clinton didn't go on t.v. and brag about 'beating the rap'.

Last night I dreamed I was playing with a very large puppy.

The owner said it was an Airedale, but that didn't seem right.

I played my hunch, looked up the breed today online (in real life) I thought it was and HAH! I was right. It was an Irish Wolfhound.

Now if I ever see the owner again in my dreams, I can tell them.

Victory?
