Pet Peeves... well sure, I've got a few...
Answering a landline... the phone rings and you pick up the handset but the coiled cord is so wound up that bringing the handset to your ear pulls the base up from the desk!
It cannot be so hard that when you answer the phone you hang up by putting it back into the cradle the same way you picked it up.
Unless there are office gremlins going around in the middle of the night twisting cords, I have no explanation for this phenomena.
The desk I inherited was once used by many until I took control. Go somewhere else to answer a call. I wipe it with alcohol a few times a day. I usually get to the office by 10 and some are there by 8. It's not hard to see if the phone has been used. I have to detach the cord and hold it out to unravel the coiled cord so it stays flat.

Jordon peterson discussions
Jordon peterson is really on form in this interview...the interview is regarding the dutch farmers protests and other protests...the disruption to the supply chain....the wef cult attacking meat production and wanting all the great unwashed/the majority...to eat bugs or starve
the wef unelected cult...want all of us to own nothing and them to own everything..the megalomaniac control freaks in the 1%...really do think billions will let this happen..but i say support the farmers and make a stand
imagine a nightmare reality...of worldwide communist dictatorship and any freedom...a long distant memory...imagine not having freedom of choice...freedom to eat the foods you enjoy...freedom to travel where you want too...freedom of expression...freedom of speech...freedom of creativity....owning nothing of your own....living each day....just surviving and having nothing to look forward too
Phantom of the Opera Tribute
I just read that Broadway is closing the Phantom of the Opera after 35 years. I saw it performed in San Francisco with a group of friends. So sad it’s going to be shut down. They are shutting it down due to ticket sales dropping due to Covid. This is a clip from the 2004 Hollywood musical. The only movie I love Gerard Butler in. I would take that singing voice over that face any day. More like I would accept his disfigurement because of his singing voice. He is a complete Don Giovanni.
This is my favorite scene from the movie. Aw man I can watch this again and again. At times I feel like the Phantom. Ugly and that nobody wants me. I didn’t say that it’s true. Just how I feel at times. I think that’s perhaps why I love and cherish this musical so much. And I love how the opera house just watches him perform in complete awe. He’s fantastic.
RIP Phantom. You shall be missed.

Tuesday's Gone...
You can call off the dogs as the Twitter King's prediction that he would be indicted today didn't work out. Hopefully none of you took the midnight train to Manhattan to protest today.
The DA's office made this statement: "We will not be intimidated by attempts to undermine the justice process, nor will we let baseless accusations deter us from fairly applying the law."
Better luck next week...
(Songwriters: Allen Collins / Ron Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd)
And I don't know
Oh, where I'm going
I just want to be left alone
Well, when this train ends
I'll try again, oh but I'm
I'm leaving my woman at home, Lordy
Tuesday's gone, with the wind
Tuesday's gone, with the wind...

Not Sure If I'm Confused
Any sensible thoughts on the video below?
Many adults are confused but why make your toddlers confused too?

Sreenath the Lion
Sometime in November 2005, I read Leon Uris's novel "Exodus". This novel is about the birth of the Jewish state of Israel which became an independent country on May 14, 1948. The heroine is Miss Karen Fremont, an American nurse looking after Jewish children on the island of Cyprus. There, she meets an Israeli freedom or resistance fighter Ari Ben Canaan. The novel had been made into a 1960 US feature film bearing the same title starring Paul Newman, directed by Otto Preminger, as well as into a short-lived Broadway musical (12 previews, 19 performances) in 1971. It was a worldwide best-seller, translated into a dozen languages.
Every able-bodied Israeli citizen(both genders) aged between 18-60 years should enlist in the Israeli armed forces to serve their nation during an attack or invasion or war from external aggressors. I appreciate this policy of the Israeli government. This is not the case in India.
When I was 13 years old, i.e., sometime in 1980, I read "Roots" authored by African American author Alex Huxley. The book is about a 16 year old Gambian teenager abducted in 1767 from the Gambian village of Juffure, West Africa taken on board the American ship " Lord Ligonier" bound for Maryland and sold to a Virginia planter. This book is based on fact and not on fiction. It has all the elements of a Hollywood movie; however, no US filmmaker has come forward to adapt it to the celluloid screen.
Still vividly remembering the stories after he grew up and became a writer, Haley began to search for documentation that might authenticate the narrative. It took ten years and a half a million miles of travel across three continents to find it, but finally, in an astonishing feat of genealogical detective work, he discovered not only the name of "the African"—Kunta Kinte—but the precise location of Juffure, the very village in The Gambia, West Africa, from which he was abducted in 1767 at the age of sixteen and taken on the Lord Ligonier to Maryland and sold to a Virginia planter.
Creation of Israel, 1948 On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel.

My Blues impairment...
I've been working with a contractor and his clients for a few weeks now. Tweaking the layout of a remodeling job. Originally, it was a kitchen. Then they added the master bath, display, laundry and window seats for 2 bedrooms.
I waited for my finishing department to make a stain sample a week ago and it was rejected by the clients based on the grain of the wood. We selected a different cut of wood and requested another color sample be made. I asked for that to be ready last Friday and was told Monday.
The project is about 40 miles from my house and I rescheduled the meeting for Monday, late afternoon. The problem was the finishing department didn't get the sample for me. I made it to my appointment, went over all the details, sizes and prices... except I didn't have a wood stain sample for them to approve.
Yeah, it's not a good thing for a salesman to close a deal when the key to the deciding factor is missing. I couldn't get the deposit without final approval of the color. This means another trip... when the freaking sample is ready.
I offered excuses but the contractor is holding the deposit check until the clients are happy with the color. So, I left empty handed. But... they want to add wall units in two rooms. I tool measurements and details and will have a price for additional work from the clients/contractor.
Kinda annoyed, on the way back home, I tuned to a blues station on satellite radio to hear guitarist Joe Bonamassa hosting a show about some female blues legends.
It's been 55 years since I first started learning music, guitar in general. Quit and started back a few times along the way. While rock music is my main focus, I find myself leaning toward British blues rock that was created by guys in England listening to old records of Black American blues artists. It's Blues with a British twist. A favorite group was FREE who had billing as a blues band.
Back to the radio show, Joe played songs by Jessie Mae Hemphill, an artist who's name I didn't recognize. One of the first things I did when I arrived home was to do some YouTube research on Jessie. Her style is about as raw as blues gets...
"You know I love you but you treat me so low-down..."
Simple, but I'll have to wait for the weekend to 'ear out' the song and learn the parts.
That's my Blues impairment for the week.

indoctrinated into darkness...What is the next move?
What is the next move?
I see it here in my small local communities...people openly accepting and displaying their desire to not only follow dark religions, but to show it with clothing they wear.
From what I see...it started with dividing people.
Then it followed with the genders becoming confused.
It then became where the genders went to war with each other...hating each other.
The next stage, we see the social acceptance of the dark religion through media and music.
Now today, I see people openly displaying their acceptance of this darkness.
Do you see the progression too?
What is the next stage/move?
Another side question...look at the progression I just mentioned. Does this progression mirror anything in history that we are aware of? Does Charlie Manson ring a bell? Does this not mirror the manipulation that Charlie Manson used...the only difference is, this is on a macro level.
So...what is the next stage/move?
