ALL AMERICAN ONT
Hi gang! Remember how yesterday I said I was going to be busy? Well, it's 9:00 PM, I've just finished working for the day, I haven't even turned on game 3 of the World Series yet and haven't touched the ONT, so this one is going to be short but sweet. To compensate, this ONT is....
53 YEARS AGO TODAY
Ronald Reagan gave his famous “A time for choosing” speech. If you've never listened to the speech, you should. It's 30 minutes long, but it's 30 minutes you really should spend.IMO this is one of the finest speeches in American history. What's scary is exactly how relevant it still is today. 50 years later, and all of these problems are still with us. It's our fault, all of us. Reagan said we have to choose. Over the past 50 years, we have. Sometimes we've gone towards limited government and ordered liberty, but all too often...
SPEAKING OF SPEECHES This one always brings a tear to my eye. Literally. If I'm drunk it brings several. Please watch this. It's only a couple of minutes long, but that last line. Wow. So proud.
WE'RE NOT ICELAND Real courage doesn't always come on the battlefield. Sometimes, rarely, it can be found in Congress. Of course, usually when it is it isn't coming from Congress, but to them. Like this:

I won't be made to ever feel ashamed… …that I'm American made
I got American parts
Got American faith
In America's heart
Go on raise the flag
I got stars in my eyes
I'm in love with her
And I won't apologize They say that we need changin'
As if all the Founding Fathers
seem to get it wrong
But I say I still believe
in The greatest Liberator, Innovator, Cultivator
Freedom knows
FIDO FRIDAY
A CANADIAN'S OPINION This is from the 70s. Gordon Sinclair was a famous Canadian journalist, back when that meant something. If you remember the early 70s, with the anti-war movement reaching its zenith, there was a lot of anti-American sentiment being featured nonstop by the quislings in the media. Sinclair felt compelled to speak out against it. Believe it or not, this was actually released as a single, and it went to #24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
GREATEST PHOTOS OF THE AMERICAN WEST We live in a beautiful land.
Sorry about the video heavy ONT, but I wanted to give y'all some good content, and that's the easiest way to do it in a limited time. The Yahoo Group says “America, fuck yeah!”

That looks to be the kind of place that you make a 500 mile detour for, on a road trip.
Speaking of great fare, tonight, I cooked two of the finest steaks I've ever enjoyed. 1 in. Sirloins, with absolutely perfectly baked potatoes, the kind that results in that perfect, chewy, buttery, salty skin. Loaded those with butter n' shredded cheddar.
The steaks were perfect from the skillet, with a slight char on the outside, and a precise "medium" pink through the middle.
Simple, but secret seasonings. Perfection.
So very tender, I could literally cut 'em with a fork, and did for a couple bites, just to prove it out.
Juicy, too. So much so that I swam individual bites of that aforementioned 'tater though the puddled juices.
Just DAMN, but I dined like a King, tonight.
Oh, and cold beer besides.
Cheers, Horde!

Spend the day in the 3 ft. crawlspace under the house, not only replacing all of the 2 in. sanitary drain lines, but installing 'em in an entirely different layout, one that the original plumbing contractor should've used when the house was built in '08.
The original layout lacked sufficient slope, and also had far too many bends, corners, complicated junctures and "etc." This caused the rate of flow to be insufficient to move heavier sediments, fats, laundry lint, etc, down the lines. And hence, for a second time, the 2 in. system stopped up completely, killing the kitchen sink and laundry drains.
There's now a far more "straight line" system below decks, split into two separate branches leading to the 3 in. main, and both with in-line cleanout caps at the furthest end of each branch.
In short, it's a maintainable system, not depending on "repairs" to keep running, even if another clog might occur. Which, it won't.
Got the slopes right, and eliminated all of the jigsaw puzzle routing.
Now, doing this for five hours with an f*kd up shoulder and sciatica from hell in my left hip... I'm enjoying relaxing after dinner, with another cold beer, chillin' in the recliner, heating pad on shoulder, two aspirin in muh bellah, and the Astros on, hopefully showing LA "whut fo!"
Racked with pain or not, I'm calling his one "a good day."
Hope y'all each enjoyed a Good Day, too.

I don't know about the conclusions made in the rest of the article, but that document is as legit as archives.gov (which I assume is, given the .gov address).
The document indicates Ruby was Oswald's partner (which I had assumed but I don't now if it had been stated), and more significantly that JFK took a bullet from the front indicating multiple shooters.

LA Sue.
You might think it sacrilege, but I'm using black pepper, McCormick's "Perfect Pinch" in the "Steak" labeling, and garlic powder, in a 1-2-1 distribution by volume.
Sautee the steaks in unsalted butter, turning frequently so as to prevent excessive char on a given side. About 2/3 to 3/4 of the available heat on the burner.
About when the steak is 3/4 done, a bout 1/4 cup of beer, in the pan and over the steak. Just enough time for it to cook off, but it results in a perfectly caramelized butter crust on each side of the steak.
The McCormick's has all the saltiness needed to balance the sweetness of the butter n' beer. The black pepper and garlic powder simply speak for themselves.
This truly is a "one up" on the classic "salt & pepper" purity test. Awesome results, but not "overseasoned", by any measure.
It just WORKS.

So, media honoring women. Did Fonda give a nice speech about how she enjoyed decades of wealth, fame, and success while keeping her big yap shut about Harve the Perv? Did she mention how her silence allowed Harve the Perv to continue raping and molesting other women?

So different and so new
Booknlass, if you show up, another bass recommendation.
Taylor makes a small, accoustic bass. Really nice guitar for the price.
Really light and a short neck. Would be perfect for hanging in the living room and tinkering. Sounds good enough Steve might play a tune or two on it at a gig for kicks.
I think $599 without a pick up or $699 with.
Comes with a great gig bag.
I really think it would be perfect for what you're looking for.

It's likely both nature and nurture, as is the case with a lot of things.
One interesting thing is homosexuality correlates with fraternal birth order. The number of baby girls doesn't matter, but if you're the second male, the chances are greater, and if you're the third males, the chances are even greater and so on. And the effect is the strongest among right-handed men.
The hypothesis is this is due to an immune response from the mother. The female body doesn't "like" the male hormone environment in the womb when a baby boy is developing, and they think that with each boy, the prenatal hormone levels may be decreased by the mother's reaction. Something like that.
Now, with women and lesbianiss, there is no such observed relation.

I sang "Cara Mia" once at a "golden oldies" performance. Tough song, but I did it well...so well, my sister's high school choir teacher sought me out to belt me on the arm. "Why didn't you tell me in school you could do that?"
I replied "You didn't ask, ma'am".
So she punched me again and said, "Smartass".
"Gulity as charged, ma'am."

Serving in the military is something the men in my clan have done since America was a colony. Mmy dad was a Marine, as was one of my brothers. I and two other brothers were Army. My baby brother saw three tours in Iraq, one in 2003 with the 82nd Airborne. He is now a Black Hawk pilot in the Montana Guard.
This desire to serve in my clan is in no small way born of a deep, abiding love of this country, and it's more than just the dream of the Republic. It is enjoying the freedom of taking a road trip to see the towns, the rivers, the mountains, the coasts, the thunderstorms, the wild horses in the Pryor Mountains.
America. Fuck. Yeah.
Oh. And may the Lord bless and protect President Donald Trump and his family.

Well, it is observed with the current population, since they noticed it. No data on the old days. You wouldn't think much as changed in that relatively short amount of time, but who knows. Here's a paper on this fraternal birth order effect and the immune hypothesis.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11534970
In relative terms, each level in fraternal birth order increases the relative chances the male will be homosexual by about 33%.

They have apps for all phones and most major TV boxes like Roku, Apple TV, etc. Works in web browsers on computers too.
You can pick home or away broadcasts for each game, and they offer condensed versions of games after broadcast that cut out all commercials and dead air time.
Again, I only have it 'cause T-Mobile has been giving it away free to their customers.

Doesn't even matter if they weren't the actual group that Fusion GPS was trying to protect. They just attempted to get ahead of the story and play games by saying "we were looking into several Republican candidates." Really several? Which ones besides Trump? Why? Why weren't you looking at others?

Ulster-Scot in my case. As for the Irish, I prefer the Montana Irish (and Boston Irish) over the Che-loving bastards too timid to seek their fortunes in America. In other words; American Irish better than the Ireland Irish.

There is no such text on any fine Valu-Rite product. The text is in cyrillic, and therefore not legally binding in any US jurisdiction.
You may be confusing fine Valu-rite products with Va-U-Rite items, formerly sold at K&B stores in New Orleans.

Want to know an interesting factoid? Little Caesars has one of the more distinctive pizza sauces. They make all of their sauce during the tomato harvest in California.
So all the sauce they use throughout the year is made in a month and a half (sometimes 2 months- depends on how the weather is and how long the tomatoes stay good in the fields.) It is called fresh pack sauce. It gives it a slightly different taste than standard pizza sauce made with tomato paste that has been packaged and stored- little bit more green and floral is the only way I can describe it.

I kind of wish both places would go back to being a little more traditional.

526 Aetius, true. Little Caesars is definitely edible. I think Pizza Hut also upgraded their pizza a few years ago.
I kind of wish both places would go back to being a little more traditional. I'd probably have LC more often if I could get a customized pizza there again; today all they have is a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, and the deep dish versions of same. Not sure if they even have a sausage pizza anymore.
Posted by: qdpsteve at October 28, 2017 01:13 AM (eMKNe)
Um Yeah they do. I think you can even get a Supreme from them too.
But usually its just so much easier to put down $5 and be out of there with a pepperoni.

I liked Kenny Rogers Chicken. They had some great sides, especially the cucumber salad.
And yeah, Orange Julius. There used to be one of those at just about every mall and then they just disappeared. Those drinks were goooood, like a creamsicle.

Just this and then off to finish a book and snooze before shootin' match in the morning.
A ampersand W - loved them as a kid, the drive-in part of course, but we always got two 1/2 gallon jugs of root beer for home. Root beer floats, with good vanilla ice cream - a gourmet item of youth. Last time I saw an A and W ..... either Japan, fairly recently, or Bali, 20 years ago - can't remember. Shocked and nostalgic when I saw them.
Orange Julius. Loved that drink too (at my mother's favorite local mall, it was obviously the big treat). Last one I saw - Dubai. !! Stepped inside one of the mega-malls, from the 1-billion degree weather -right in front of me, an Orange Julius. Was difficult to explain to my partner how amazing it was to see it. Think I got a drink, can't recall exactly.

---That isn't what they're saying. They hired Fusion GPS to look into Trump during the primary. After he won, they dropped it. It was only after Hillary got involved that the allegedly former British spy Steele got involved, as did the Russians through him (Mark Stein mentioned on Tucker Carlson's show, last night I think, that Steele wasn't just some random spook, but the head of Britain's Russia desk). So the current reporting is that WFB had nothing to do with the dossier.
I think at some point we need to take a look at just how retired the retired British spy was and whether we need to reevaluate our relationship with them.

There was a chain called Frostop -- I'm sure there are some survivors. Car-window service, chilled mugs that got stolen a lot. Something special was the take-out/carry-out/takeaway container. It was a cone, made of the same heavy waxed paper that used to be used for milk cartons. The shape allowed a cardboard tab insert to close the top. After it was empty, you could press the plain disc out of the bottom and use it as a megaphone. That's just how dull our lives were.
In the late 70's I used to have work-lunch, night shift, at a porcelain-coated remnant of the Triangle Lunch System. It's hard to find any history on them, but from some pictures I've seen, they easily predate road diners and the various White chains.

You were lucky to have missed the Chi Chi's experience, on several levels. Hands down and by a mile, the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. Canned, bland and now (thankfully) banned.
I ate at a few Chi Chi's during my two-year stint on the East Coast. They were quite busy, but universally awful. That was back in days when regional food was really regional, and east coasters didn't know any better, I guess. And I was desperate. I remember, for example, that on a trip back east in 1977, the only way to buy corn tortillas was in a can. My encounters with Chi Chi's were all in the early 1980's. Ugh.
I seem to remember you live near LA, and I did a quick web search and was surprised to see that El Burrito Jr., a pretty good taco stand that I remember from the 1990's, is still in business. On Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach.
Not the best or most authentic Mexican food in the Universe (the really good places that I could recommend are all in other parts of the country), but pretty darned good for fast food. If you are looking for recommendations to get you through your Chi Chi's ennui, that is.

Here are two:
When I was a wee lad, a Cub Scout, we took a tour of the local Carroll's, a hamburger chain that supposedly had Mohammad Ali as a main backer. Their food was crap.
Another one I remember existed for a short time was a pizza chain called Milton's. Their pizza was terrible. It was obvious they had no blind tastings to find out if the pizza was any good or not. And it was a big NOT!
As for Shakey's, I loved them back in my pre and high school days. The player pianos, the showing of old movie serials, the family seating on really small (uncomfortable) wooden seats, and the mugs of root beer. Shakey's had a great all-you-can-eat lunch and the place was popular for high school date night. I always found Shakey's Pizza to have a spicier red sauce than the other existent pizza chains. Going to Shakey's was a cheap, entertaining night out.

I don't remember the one at JANAF. This one was on E.

After Shakey's closed, the building was an Italian eatery for a bit, and then a Mexican one.

AM radio simply worked better in the '60's. I remember as a kid, growing up in Vancouver, B.C., I had a big old 12-tube radio. It had a magic-eye tube, and a slide rule dial that was dead-nuts on. If you tuned it to, say, 1220, it was receiving a station at 1220. Not 1210 or 1230. And I got stations at every tick on the dial. WWL, New Orleans? No problem.
Of course, one heck of a solar max didn't hurt, either.

Every time I've been in Canada I've had a blast. The people are great, and you are absolutely correct about the land there. Every American - and Canadian - should drive to Alaska at least once. And no cheating either - drive the whole way, up the Alcan. Just do it. You'll be glad you did.

A few weeks ago, I was watching a Spanish language channel's coverage of a football match. What I found interesting was one commercial in particular.
We've all see those 'get tax relief from the IRS' ads where they mention all the things the IRS can do to delinquent paying taxpayers like garnishing your wages, seizing bank accounts, placing liens on property and the like. All familiar stuff. But this one ad in Spanish cracked me up. It, too, was about owing the IRS and a company offering tax relief with all the familiar dire things the IRS can do (and mentioned above). However, there was a big one added that is never mentioned in the English ads and that particular IRS action was the main thrust of the ad: The cancellation of one's passport. The ad even came with an image of an open US passport and a large rounded wooden stamp with 'Cancelled' on it dramatically rolled/stamped onto said passport.
Two Americas.
