Zebra Crossing...
The Beatles released their 11th album in 1968 (correction) 1969 (September in England and October in America) with the iconic cover of them walking across Abbey Road. I'm doing some YouTube videos and a little history about The Beatles and saw a reference to the famous crosswalk. Well.. it's called a crosswalk in America and 'Zebra Crossing' in England. My response to that was "Zebra crossing?... get the fuk outta here."
There are NO ZEBRAS to be seen anywhere... however if you consider it coming from the land of strange names and short cuts, zebra crossing makes sense... to them.
Yeah, I get it. The white stripes are the zebra part.
One big question is the stripes on a zebra. Are they white with black stripes or black with white stripes?
The underside is white, so I'm saying white with black stripes. Yes, that's my final answer.
Back to The Beatles and Abbey Road. You see, the studio/studios where they recorded at is named Abbey Road Studios. Pretty catchy name that didn't take much thought.
I read that a zebra crossing really exists outside the location of the studio. It's a historical landmark, but now I learned the actual album photo came from somewhere else. Please, I'd like to leave my childhood memories intact.
Google maps has the exact location. Amazing.

Producer Rick Beato was fortunate to get a tour of the Abbey Road Studios and went over some of the microphones and equipment The Beatles and many other famous groups used to create their albums.

OxyContin
If you are curious to know how OxyContin became the #1 addiction pill then you should watch a movie on Netflix called PainKiller that explains it. It started out as a pain killer for people with cancer and serious pain from surgery but it turned into something else when doctor's kept prescribing higher and higher doses which filled their bank account balance higher and higher.

“I still remember this man. I knew him long ago, from time to time my life intersecting with his. The passing of time, merely if changed something; he looks the same, for the many who knew him, - still carries the same eyes full of life, despite underneath the amber traces, there is much suffering hidden; his body, athletic as in his 20’s, kept in shape well for his efforts of taking up various jobs to maintain his living, serious and hard working man; I remember his smile, even to the toughest jobs, keeping on and on saying he’s on training, - such an amusement, even to myself, to hear him when about to dig with the shovel, to say about himself that he is resting and made a deal with an ogre who came right on time, to help him digging, while when a harder effort, to laugh saying: I left the ogre go away for all were too heavy for it, so, by now, here’s King Kong, to deal with the new issue, he could take it!.. What a funny man, indeed! Was such a companion, in everything, as those who came closer to him, to remember a true friend! For the rest of the world, who never knew him enough, he was just a fool lost into the crowd, or just a madman inspiring haughtiness or disdain; while for some, a tyrant to be feared, if not a lost cause indicating one never dealing with. But I still remember him saying, loudly, without any fear of repercussions: “In a world run by idiots in the spirit of lawlessness, smart people must die little by little, so that their stupidity may thrive!” As a matter of fact, despite his incisive manner of telling the truth, I respect him, for daring to oppose, in its own particular way, to the flow of the world; that’s for because the crowds always treasured their tyrants, and the world, of course, was always bent by the will of the few to rule them in what seemed to be a never-ending slavery. I could support him, if was up to me, - but not. Therefore, I am much inclined, with a respectful shake of hand, so like a comrade on the battlefield, for I know parts of its life – his struggles – like no one could. While most were only satisfied to judge him for blessing their tyrants, or to just despise, if not even hate the ways he is, or acts, - I only knew his heart. The heart that shows Humanity. Others like him, might have been lost already across time, into the darkness and evil, with their hearts turned into stone and become just ruthless advocates of lawlessness. Yet, he struggled to not fall into such side, even with the price of being left alone. Indeed, as one who knew a little more than others, about him, I could distinguish his fight. Not for survival. When you are like a dead, into the world, only then, you start truly to have a glimpse on what’s Reality. In rest, illusions. Illusions. Theatre for the crowds…”

“It took me two good years of my life to realize that all I’ve done was to go on in circles, returning finally to the same place I’ve left. Two years lost chasing ideals of the world. Ideals of a common man who wants to live its life as sees fit, but in accordance with the ways of a world in which gradually, since childhood times, saw no place into, not fitting anywhere, despite its efforts or tries to align to the crowd. Two years of sinking, - voluntarily – into the well-known illusions which he could recognize always since its 20’s, the same illusions which suck the life out of one’s eyes, same illusions which drain the soul, leaving an empty heart of love replacing it with misery, grief and despair. What was the reason, for all these?! – he seems to ask, in vain, and the wind carry its grieving whispers, wherever it goes. Was it worth it?! – Silence. Nothing but silence. There is nobody, to give him an answer. Not a pleasant answer to the ears. But a straight, correct answer, to a vital question. Not like regular questions which indulge the minds of the crowds. But the question which could cut a heart in tiny, tiny pieces and turn it into sand. That is a trial of Vanity. For everything into the world, is nothing else but Vainglouriousness…
I see this man resting under his majestic tree. A walnut tree, which seems fit for him. Seems fit, for the iodine and juglone, tannins and other compound, which indicates poisoning. Such a majestic tree! In all its might, alleopatic for the scientists banging their heads against a wall searching for an answer, but such a delight for the common peasant asking the tree what would like to grow underneath. Large leaves, to behold the sunlight, preserving such an amount of energy filling its marvelous crown, giving back the needy shadow in return, to a restless soul, finding a shelter!.. And what a resemblance, indeed! This tree, from all this bitterness encompassing its structure, gives back the sweet fruit of lore! I saw this man asking the tree: when it’s the right time to harvest? The tree, bent its branches to the ground, with the same answer: when I allow you…”

Donald Doe Citizen...
On Thursday evening, the former president of the United States, flew to the Atlanta airport in his private jet, gets escorted in a motorcade with top security to the county jail to be processed for his recent felony charges. The entire event took less than an hour and he was escorted back to the airport to return to his residence at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Depending on who you listen to, he's got 4 indictments pending, maintains the highest lead in the poll for the Republican nomination for president in the 2024 election, teetering on the possibility of a conviction, yet has the ability to wrangle himself a self-pardon in the event he actually gets elected president.
Blogs aren't supposed to solicit responses from readers... but it would appear to the group of Trump supporters, they are comfortable with this man in the position of power as the leader of America... again.
That means that the Republican party cannot get anyone in the running they can support.
By a raise of hands, the majority of the would-be losers at the debate would support Trump should he win the nomination. He will represent the 'best of the best' of what their party has to present to America.
Reader comments to news stories (I've read) are often laser accurate and describe his pampering by the system allows him privileges that no one else in this country (having 4 indictments) is allowed to do. No restrictions of any kind... and should any be invoked, he and his supporters would squeal like stuck pigs.
How skewed are the polls... ?
If they lean in your political direction, they must be accurate. right?
But, if they lean in the opposite direction, they must be wrong... right?
Some polls reflect undying support for Trump, even if he's convicted on any of the charges, while others are showing that maybe less people are willing to vote for someone because they are tired of the daily back and forth 6 articles a day.
Come to your senses people... envision what 4 years of 'Vendetta in Chief' would be like and after the laws are changed for 'President for life' it will be too late.
Are you afraid to think about that?

The best typ of profile photo
Who has the best typ of profile photo, who has the worse.
What is the profile holder trying to give us a message.
There are the blanks (all painted one colour)
There are the hidden, you see the tip of their heads (at least those have hair, or a cap?)
There are the body free, showing mostly skin (OK we all have skin, so what is so special about him/her)
There are the masked ones showing us - what? My interpretation - stupidity
and there are, landscapes, houses, animals, and more - why bother at all!
On the other hand there are some lovely photos, my favorites are the ones where they show the person and a finger is shown towards you, to make you feel, your the one for me.
Your impressions?

Trump Mug Shot
Well here it is. A moment in history. How will all this turn out? Very badly for the Democrats in my opinion. But we shall see. Be careful what you wish for. Be careful for the precedents you set. For be careful they may come back to hit you in the áss.
