What Is Still Good In Life? What Is Still Good In America?
My mood is dark, but commenters lifted my spirits by reminding me there are still good things in life, like gambling strippers who let you spin The Wheel of Anal.
What is still good in your lives? What is still good in this country? It doesn't have to be big things. Like, I just got a Police greatest hits album. The Police are really good, and I had forgotten that. So that's good. That, and the Wheel of Anal. Which was actually a song on Regatta de Blanc I'm pretty sure (La Roue d'Anal). Here's Something Nice: via Jane D'Oh:BREAKING NEWS: Escaped convict Richard Matt has been shot and killed in upstate New York. http://t.co/gH7eDeSssr pic.twitter.com/rmDFmEAwUy

You can fly fish there, maybe even with Mike Flynn, and you're surrounded by beauty.
THE TESTAMENT OF A FISHERMANRobert Traver 1964, (Judge John Voelker 1903-93)I fish because I love to;Because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful, and hate the environs where crowds of people are found, which are invariably ugly;Because of all the television commercials, cocktail parties, and assorted social posturing I thus escape;Because, in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion;Because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience;Because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I for one don't want to waste the trip; because mercifully there are no telephones on trout waters;Because only in the woods can I find solitude without loneliness;Because bourbon out of an old tin cup always tastes better out there;Because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid; And, finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant - and not nearly so much fun.Anal is also very good.

Actually I think the horse is pretty funny. I don't care what he says though, when she's laying in the water... her floatation devices have the illusion of movement, even though I have studied them real hard, and I don't think they actually are, indeed, moving.

Did you see the story on the guy? Apparently he has caught thousands of balls at baseball games. There was video of him catching Barry Bonds' 724th home run, I think. Not exactly THE milestone home run ball, but he got several others. There was even video showing him in the vicinity of Jeter's 3000th, but he just missed it.

There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
We better stop

The Ruger Model One falling-block rifle, safari grade, in 7mm Rem Mag.
Family, yada yada yada.
Silver Linings Playbook. Yeah, I know, it's a chick flick about dancing and shit, but that was a great movie. I've been looking for silver linings since I saw it.
The ability to commiserate with the like-minded during dark weeks like this one.
I was thinking about our earlier discussion of the Confederate Flag; and that bittersweet nostalgia of the great Lost Cause that draws people to that flag. And I was thinking: We don't really need to go back that far, now, for that feeling. I don't know; is that a silver lining?

Let's see. Legitimate good thing. This is pretty amazing. Click thru for the pics:
Kameya Kiyonaga is a Japanese confectioner that has a very rich history dating back to around 1617. This summer, for a limited time, the sweets shop is selling a very unique confectionary that is so breathtaking, youll probably feel bad when you take a bite out of it.
Not only does the packaging remind us of a cloudless night, but the sweet itself is a beautiful representation of the starry sky. This visually stunning dessert combines jelly and yokan (red bean paste, agar and sugar), but it also has hints of both passionfruit and lemon. The store recommends chilling the dessert in order to bring out even more of the flavors. We dont think there could be anything more perfect than eating it while gazing at the summer constellations.

What is good in America? Well, I still think Americans are basically friendly throughout most of this country. I think they make an effort to make you feel welcome, to be helpful, and to be kind.
We traveled last week to Kentucky, by way of Nashville, so I did a lot of people watching in the airports and interacted with people in a part of the country where I'd never been without anyone being an a-hole to me. In fact, some were nicer than they "had to" be. BTW, there were no signs of the big Race Problems that Progressives tell us exist. Black or white, people tend to treat me well (and I them).

What is still good?
The youths in my Scout troop and the opportunity our activities provide for them to learn new skills and grow.
Getting outdoors to hike, canoe, walk and cycle.
The opportunities I have taken to learn metalworking and jewelry making and the new friends that I have made while doing so. Now, most of them are about my own age (baby boomers, ugh) and the few times I have heard them voice political opinions, they are of the LIV variety, but that's not why we get together.
My mother has moved into a townhouse closer to town and thereby has been relieved of responsibility for taking care of a dwelling whose needs had at last exceeded her ability to meet then.

I can strike up a conversation in a check-out line with a stranger, black or white, and we'll laugh over the cover of some magazine, or talk about the hot weather.
A sweet black cashier always calls me "honey" and I smile and thank her.
There are far more good people in this world than bad. Sadly, the MFM doesn't want us to believe that.

Buy a Texas Flag.
Don't buy a confederate flag because let's face it, it does represent to many the ideology of slavery and all the bad things some in the south as a group did to both black and white.
BUY A TEXAS FLAG and proudly wave it.
The last bastion of Freedom and independence.
And coincidentally the only state not being destroyed by the faux economic moves of the Federal Government.
If it were only a bit cooler I'd sell out in a minute and move there.

Did you know that CS Lewis and JR Tolkien were part of a British team investigating Nazi's obsession with the occult and that a lot of the figures in their stories were pulled from these investigations?

My cousin had a B model that you started by spinning the flywheel. He had Internationals after that I think. My uncle had International I think. as did my other cousin Daryl and Daryl. Oh, they had a New Holland baler that had it's own gas engine to power it. You could hear that engine bellow clear across the field every time it swallow a big chunk of alfalfa, and crash and clank and spit out another hay bale.

Fox dictates the national broadcasts, to the point of nearly everything they say is scripted. I've been systematically buying up all the dvd sets of World Series that are being released, and it's amazing to observe the difference between Fox and when they were on NBC.
Fox broadcasts are so graphics-driven, there must be someone in the ears of the announcers telling them to mention this stat, or that little detail of a player's life, because they will show the graphics immediately afterwards, as if it was somehow spontaneous. And not the things anybody watching really wants to know. Just stupid stuff. Created by somebody in the graphics department.

Have an adorable kitteh that greets me at the door everyday and comes when I call.
Head full of new personal projects and ideas and I am excited to get them completed.
Family that loves me. Possibly the most important thing.
One other most important thing: God. Was in a serious depression a few years ago; with help and much struggle have descended above the clouds and am walking in sunshine again. Even current events won't be able to push me back to the bad place I was in. Life is good; don't let the idiots get you down.

But.
That's it. Memories, things, and neighbors - all within America's boundaries.
Those "good things' that are of America? Like Liberty, freedom from Tyranny, independence?
They are dead. There is nothing but echoes of those dead things screaming as they are put to death by the Left.
No. Like the memories of democracy some in Munich had in 1938, or the concepts of Egalitarianism some poor sod had as he knelt before the guillotine in the Time of Terror - those things that were good about America are fading memories of dead things; of murdered principles and perverted innocence.
What is left good about America?
The memories of what it was.

All that Gettysburg talk has gotten me yearning for a roadtrip.....If you haven't been there I would recommend joining Bandersnatch et al, it such an experience.

The best baseball announcing is with crappy teams. If the team is doing well, they're entertaining enough to keep your interest. If the team stinks it up constantly on the field, the broadcast team has to be entertaining to keep you around. So they work extra hard. The best baseball to listen to is horrible, losing teams.

SPOILERS
I loved that the main emotion, Joy, starts being very self centered and assuming she should be the predominant emotion in Riley's life all the time. Sounds like special snowflakes, who only want the good emotions, never the bad. But as the film progresses Joy grows, and learns that the other emotions play a vital role, and that joy tempered with sadness is vital to leading a full life and handling the challenges life throws your way. A surprisingly conservative message.

Sometime in the mid-90s, when Joe Buck was just starting out in the business (yeah, I know), he would share the mic with his dad. One day Joe had the hiccups, on the air. Did his best to control/hide it, but they were there. Jack was silent... At one point Joe just sort of apologized to the listeners, then turned to his dad and said "you're not helping at all!" Jack busted out laughing, acted all innocent, and just let it happen.
I was driving at the time, and had a hard time keeping the vehicle on the road from laughing so hard.

Used to love Ralph Kiner doing the color for the Mets.
Not unrelated, a friend of mine used to work as a cameraman for WPIX-TV in NYC back in the 80's and did all the Yankee games. One day, the batter fouls a ball onto the plate which came back and hit Steve Balboni right in the nuts. He doubled over in pain and the game was halted for a few minutes. Tom Seaver, who was doing the commentary, tried to be genteel and said" Wow, he fouled that one right into his thigh. That's gotta hurt." Not missing a beat, Scooter Phil Rizzuto piped in, "Thigh, my eye! He rung his chimes! I could hear it all the way up here!" My friend laughed so hard that the camera was shaking and they had to cut away.

Posted by: Insomniac at June 26, 2015 05:19 PM (2Ojst)
Well, for the first time in over a decade God answered one of my prayers with a yes. At least a definite maybe.
My good friend of over 20 years (former and current music partner) told me last night his daughter (16 yoa, great kid who i got to hold in the hospital when she was a day old) has a growth close to her spine. Possibility of a type of cancer that is way more often than not in someone her age.
My heart fell through the floor.
IM'd me today. Ultrasound shows benign. Still has to be removed and tested to be sure on that but...
More prayers appreciated if you would.

*HAH!* Love those stories!
We had Herb Score and you always had to wait on the homerun calls. One time he called a homer quite enthusiastically, then said, "oh... no he caught it."
Does about ten more seconds of 'next batter'... then found out it was a home run. ...deadpanned. "Oh, that was a homerun."

She could give a rat's ass that the SCOTUS is out of control.
She'd bite Obama on the hand if he tried to give her a treat, and only because she'd look to see my reaction first.
As long as I give her skritches she'll even forgive me if dinner is late.
She sits with me when I listen to music (even sit through Emerson Lake and Palmer), she's at my feet as I type this.

She only weighs 25lbs, but 23 of that is heart.

Posted by: UGAdawg at June 26, 2015 05:22 PM (c+vBe)
Not unrelated, a friend of mine used to work as a cameraman for
WPIX-TV in NYC back in the 80's and did all the Yankee games. One day,
the batter fouls a ball onto the plate which came back and hit Steve
Balboni right in the nuts. He doubled over in pain and the game was
halted for a few minutes. Tom Seaver, who was doing the commentary,
tried to be genteel and said" Wow, he fouled that one right into his
thigh. That's gotta hurt." Not missing a beat, Scooter Phil Rizzuto
piped in, "Thigh, my eye! He rung his chimes! I could hear it all the
way up here!" My friend laughed so hard that the camera was shaking and
they had to cut away.
Emmes truth.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at June 26, 2015 05:14 PM (St6BJ)
They say Rizzuto was a treat to hear, and I believe it. I saw a film on the Yankees not long ago, and there was a segment on the guy who did the ballpark PA announcements. I can't remember his name. Anyway, you know who I mean. At the time they interviewed him, I think he was... what, 99? That voice. And that face! He looked like he belonged in a museum, and oh, the things he would have witnessed over the years...

Betty is like bread pudding but with fruit, brown sugar and butter mixed in with the bread instead of batter. Dowdy is like pie but with only a top crust which is usually made to look rustic with the pie dough cut in pieces of strips and laid haphazardly on to of the fruit filling.
Cobbler can be made several ways. My grandma made batter out of milk, self rising flour, melted butter, sugar, an egg and cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg to taste which she poured in a pan and covered with fruit (so the batter rose through the fruit as it cooked. My best friend grandma had a similar recipe but she poured the batter on top of the fruit. Some people make cobbler with a streusel topping, too (although those people are heathens and hardly worth mentioning).

I just spent 2 days with my aging parents, helping them with things they used to help me with. I cleaned their basement, took stuff that was too heavy for them to lift to the computer recycling center, and I took them to trade in their old junkers on one newcar. Dad can't drive any more and is too frail to make any deals, so I negotiated the deal and got them a good car at a good price. That was cool. It was even cooler to hear them say thank you, and know they meant it.
And a good horse. A good horse will make up for a lot of the problems in the world.

To crush your enemies.

Thank you, she is my favorite despite my knowing you aren't supposed to feel that way.
When I was a toddler she used to damn near drown herself trying to "save me" from drowning in the lake we lived on....
I swam like a champ but she was convinced I was in trouble and the fact she was terrified of water...
the story goes dad finally snapped and explained to her... "he can swim better than YOU dear..."and he slung me into the water and I laughed...
When I close my eyes and imagine angels they bear her face...
she has never made me feel anything other than safe and loved in a time of my life when both were a dicey proposition.
Life is most decidedly and expressly unfair...
I am mortified of losing my mental acuity but I would gladly risk a dip in THAT lake were it to bring her back from that lake.....
Thanks again.

What is still good in your lives?
My 3 y/o and my 5 m/o.
What is still good in this country?
The people of the US. It's easy to get hung up on all the negative news, the shit coming out of DC, etc. But there is a reason that congress has epically low approval. They are not like us. They are not like the good people of the US, ready to give the shirt off our backs at the drop of a hat. The same people that, despite all the lies and spin from the media about hating brown or black people, would help them out just the same as a person of the same color.
In a year, the era of Obama will be gone, and we can get back to rebuilding this, still, great country of ours
Funny thing. Today was culture day for my 3 year old at daycare, where they were to bring something of cultural relevance to show and tell. Fuck that I thought, I sent him with an American flag (Disney Mickey) beach towel and a Captain America hotwheels. The teacher noted that, it was peculiar, because many parents did similar (American flag), and his class is epically diverse; white, black, indian (dot), asian, mexican, mixed, etc.
Fuck Obama and the left and their racial politics. It is not penetrating.

Also it seems I still got one barn cat and shes a sweetheart. No thanks to the psycho neighbor a block away. Shes smart and sticks close to home, and my asshole neighbor next door told me he kinda likes her, so shes safe there too. Couldn't believe it when he said it. But the mean old bastard was freaking pissed that the others were gone, and hes doing his best to make a safe space for the last one. That was a GINORMOUS surprise.
Friend of mine beat cancer. hes a tough cowboy and they had to go through his scrotum to get the last tumor. He had to give up a testicle and go through some hell this winter, but hes back to breaking horses and hes gonna do the restart on Uncle horse for me, because i am giving him a place for his mares to crash for the summer. Long live the no-money economy! He threw me up on my black horse yesterday, and for the first time in over a year and a half, i rode a horse without pain in my lower back. While I was weak as water, there was not a twinge while i did it, and no pain afterwards either. Woke up today and i am still good. No words to express my gratitude. so i rode around with my pal, whos just out of the hospital, and thanked God that he and I are good to ride again. I had been starting to feel like a bird with clipped wings.
There is plenty to be happy about on this farm.

I have stopped watching TV news including FOX. The 24/7 drum beats of
doom and shouting is not good for your mental health.
--
Very wise advise. I haven't had the TV on at all the last 48 hours, but I've been getting away more and more from even watching anything on Fox. I'm so sick and tired of the doom and gloom, the non-stop bad news, the bickering of the eggheads that go on there to "debate." It really, really affects my mood. Plus, even Fox has an agenda and I'm not going to be a party any longer. I've only visited a very few sites the last couple days. Generally Ace and Insty. I can't even handle Drudge or WZ anymore. It's all so grim.
But I'm thankful always for my family. Despite what's happened to this once great country, I'm forever thankful I'm an American. I'd rather be American than any other nationality. That must mean I've got a shred of hope left.

Knowing this is not the (political) end. Exit polls for 2014: R's won 43% of voters aged 18-29; that's a pretty good starting point considering we are at "peak liberalism" culturally and in terms of bureaucratic/government control. I mean virtually every one of those 43% apart from a few million who were home schooled or privately schooled just recently spent 12 years being outright indoctrinated in the public school system so we could be doing a lot worse. We also won 54% of white people of that age and the same number of white women.

I really want to go outside & almost did but I have baseball size bump/bruise on left hip & I've been sitting with ice bag on it since I came into house last night. Last night I could barely walk & told my best friend he's going to have to refresh my glass of wine & bring me other things, which he's done.
I went up to look for a Forged T shirt I bought last year, I bought three. After climbing stairs I decided I'm better off sitting here with ice.

for bringing back my ex boyfriend, we broke
up for more than 8 month and he told me
that he will never want to see me in his life
again. i love him so much to the extend that
i could not think of dating any man again, i
was confused and depress due to the love i
had for him,i did everything i could do to
have him come back to me but all went in
vain. so i decided to contact a spell caster, i
did not believe in spell casting i just want to
try it may be it would work out for me. i
contacted Dr.otonu for help,and he told
me that he have to cast a love spell on him, i
told him to do it. after 5 days my boyfriend
called me and started to apologize for
leaving me and also he told me that he still
love me. i was very happy and i thank Dr
otonu for helping me get back my ex back
to my hands. his spell is the greatest of all
over the world, it was the love spell he cast
on my ex that make him come back to me.

lot worse.
The Daily Beast article (spits) says that one of their goals is to take over education; I guess they feel they haven't yet? Don't secede that ground; if you have kids get involved in the PTA or school board. Keep an eagle eye on what your kids are being taught. Because the times they are a changin'.

My rose garden today is a perfect day to be outside, but I sprayed
them last night when I was putting chemicals back on shelf
leading down to basement, one fell down the stairs. I am low on that one
it used to be very inexpensive spreader/sticker to make chemicals
stick to roses better, price has increased in past few years to almost
$80 per gallon. I went to get it took nasty fall down the stairs
hit left hip, right arm left leg on the cement.
I really want to go outside almost did but I have baseball
size bump/bruise on left hip I've been sitting with ice bag on it
since I came into house last night. Last night I could barely walk
told my best friend he's going to have to refresh my glass of wine

Ouch! And BE CAREFUL. We had a wonderful elderly neighbor who painted (we have one framed in our living room) who had to go into an old-folks' home in Klamath Falls after falling in her garage. It meant the end of one life here among her friends and pastimes, and the opening of an entirely different chapter amongst strangers near her daughter.

Yeah, that's it, he went to Yale. Then he taught Constitutional law at...the University of Detroit. And he has a wife...Scamelle Obama. And they have two daughters....I forget their names but who cares. Okay, we will need a couple ghost-written auto-biographies...make them retro-active best sellers.

I'm going to get ahead on this one. If the sex if the individuals involved is irrelevant, than why is the number "two" so sacred? If you accept that one's sex is irrelevant, than there is nothing other than irrational animus to bar marriages involving more than two people.

Oh, I know they can break down your door and kill your dog with no advanced warning if they think they have some druggie reason or something.
I'm not talking about that. I mean, I've often appreciated the fact that (with that brutal exception) they don't just have carte blanche to come in any time they want, go through all your stuff, or sit there able to tell you what to do, eat, say, etc. Yet.
And I'm serious. I really do appreciate this as long as we have it.

digitalocean, cloud.google.com
namesilo, namecheap, and so forth
Audacity, blender, Unity, Krita, Sketchup, et. al.
open source software in general w00tw00t
books. i have more books in this house than I could read in the time i have left. good books too, history, technical stuff, some sci-fi, how-to, so many. BOOKS!!!! yay books
the earth is wonderful. let me find that quote... ah: "The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself." -- Henry Miller.
This universe is incredible, when I stop and pay attention to it. The more you look at it, the more detailed and magnificent it becomes. You can approach it scientifically, and learn physics and chemistry and mathematics and engineering, or artistically, and devote yourself to making impressionistic clay sculptures of protozoa, there is endless depth to this reality, not the least of which is the depth of the ways we are able to appreciate it. Being allowed to experience the sublime physical world was worth the cost and pain of incarnation.
the best one for me though is the love of a good woman who sees past my flaws, and still laughs at my stupid sense of humor after 25 years of marriage. i don't know what went wrong in her judgment to stick around, but i will capitalize on that to my last breath. life is better when you have someone to share it with.
Chin up Ace! This life was always a temporary ride, gather ye rosebuds while ye may and all that.

Nope, the Police suck. It's just that Sting shouts with just enough attitude that you convince yourself that he's singing and that you're in on the cool thing thathe's projectingattitude about so it's good to share; not that they record actual music or that Sting could sing a note if his life depended on it.
