Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

CONELRAD: Tune in, Drop Dead: Firing up the Wayback Machine, Sherman!

"Most people spent the 1950’s in a mild panic. If you lived in a NATO country, you feared the Soviets nuclear arsenal, and if you happened to live in a Warsaw Pact country, you feared a destructive attack by American and British nuclear weapons. In the world of Cold War paranoia nuclear war was not just a distant possibility, it was a guaranteed fact."
Blast from The Past Poster
 I know some of you readers and followers of this here blog remember this from our youth/childhood. I grew up in NC Montana for the most part and we were in fairly close proximity to the Missile Boys out of Malmstrom AFB at Great Falls. Central Montana is still home to a Space Wing(Missile Wing) to this day.
The full story is at the link below.
