This is an example of what Democracy is all about. Choices of about 47 different kinds of pet food. Choices of many different types of soup and rice, potatoes. And all the toilet paper you care to buy. How many choices will you get in a Socialist country? Sent from: Dr. Geno |

Am I a horrible person? Every time I see people’s vehicles with FJB and Let’s go Brandon stickers and tee shirts I break out laughing. [?] |
[Replicator & Transporter] If these two things were invented all wars would be irrelevant, starvation gone, most things free and humanity would only have to play and use suntan lotion! Over-birthing would stop and false beliefs and politics would be useless. |

[“John Mayall”] Got to see him and Spirit, Leslie West and other bands 50 ought years ago and be damned if I can remember all of them. A small venue at Sunshine Speedway in Clearwater Fl, was a Halloween Fest, early afternoon into evening. I do remember him doing Room To Move. I was stationed at Ft Bragg’s, 82nd Airborne, early 70’s to 71. Me and some other guys rented a place off base for some sanity. John Mayall had just released Blues From Laurel Canyon, we about wore that album out! Keep ’em flying. |

[Book Review] Good read also Canyon Of Dreams by Harvey Kubernik. Great book not cheaply put together. Goes all the way back to 20’s/30′ at start and how all the hippies and some of the greatest musicians ever moved in an took over. Lots of good pix, articles and quotes. I look thru it occasionally and almost feel the vibes all over again. Peace & Love! |

[Friday Joke] When a group of tourists visited a crocodile farm, the owner of the place launched a bold proposal: Whoever dares to jump, swim to the coast and survive, I’ll give you $ 1 million. No one dared to move, suddenly, a man jumped into the water and desperately swam to the shore while being chased by all the crocodiles. With enormous luck came, taking everyone’s admiration at the scene, then the owner announced, “We have a brave winner.” After collecting his reward, the couple returned to the hotel, upon arrival, the manager told him; he was very brave to jump, then the man said, “I didn’t jump, someone pushed me!” His wife smiled… Moral: ′′ Behind every successful man, there’s a woman who pushes him …” |

[Thought for the Day] The problem is you think you have time. On average we get possibly 80 summers – if we are lucky, Don’t put off the trip, stop waiting for life to begin. Get up early to watch the sunrise. Book the trip you’ve wanted. Visit often with friends. Go to the beach. Always watch the Sunset. |

[Friday Joke] A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped inches from a shop window. For a second, everything was quiet in the cab. Then the driver said, “Look, mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the living daylights out of me!” The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.” The driver replied, “Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver — I’ve been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years.” |
