Little Side Trip

It wasn't until a few years ago, and considerable persistence of a friend of mine (McLovin', you know I love you!) did I rewarm up to The Bee Gees.  Listened to them a lot as a kid in grade school...then again...that's all one heard on the radio in the late 1970's.  But my friend was very right, their music was good, and lyrics better than good...and now dear Robin Gibb has gone to that Big Discotheque in the Sky...

Jake's Broasted Chicken: The Corner Greasy Spoon

I had to ask a friend of mine who is a native of the South to find out what "broasted" means...other than that, the signage is better than the food...unless you're hung over or just really, really hungry...but the character is as kitch as any other greasy spoon anywhere!

Return of the Sunday Funnies

We haven't captured anything obviously funny, but I personally find this pretty funny in a scrappy politics kinda way...

Die Hard Politics

This week's bad joke:

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C. The Russians used a pencil.

Happy Birthday Jimmie T!  You are loved, you are missed!

To & Fro: What I See

I enjoy living in a large city, because 1.) there's all kinds of things hidden both in lost corners and in plain sight; and 2.) the smallest shift of lens or posture you wouldn't believe it's a photo taken in it...
