 [Plymouth Rock] I went to Plymouth Mass many years ago to see where the Pilgrims landed. I expected a giant boulder or cliff edge or something other than the little rock. It is now inside a protective concrete ‘temple’ because people were chipping off chunks as souvenirs. One of them even split it in two. Come to find out, the Pilgrims didn’t actually land on the rock, just in the area near it. |
| [Recipe of the Day] Creamed Woodchuck. This was published by the fine ladies of the Ladies Auxiliary Quakertown Fire Company, Quakertown New Jersey in 1953. And I’m pretty sure that you can substitute Iguana for woodchuck.

 Handshake is a globally widespread, brief greeting or parting tradition in which two people grasp one of each other’s hands, and in most cases, it is accompanied by a brief up-and-down movement of the grasped hands. Customs surrounding handshakes are specific to cultures. Different cultures may be more or less likely to shake hands, or there may be different customs about how or when to shake hands |
| [Crypto Currency is for Crooks] A major holder of crypto was kidnapped and held for days. Ok, they can be held for kidnapping but not for theft because there is no paper trail for crypto. There’s no proof the crypto was stolen or even existed. It’s as if it doesn’t exist so, virtually, there is no crime. Crypt is for crooks. Link |
 [Buy Bonds] The County is going to elevate the streets in the Avenues because of sea lever rise to the cost of $25-30 million dollars. They want homeowners to pay for it. They should sell municipal bonds to pay for it. I’d buy a lot but don’t have any idea what they are called so I can tell my broker. Let old rich folks buy the bonds to pay for the work and not burden the poor folk who live on the Avenues. |
| Cinema fights are so predictable. The good guy gets beat to hell, near death, then gets up and kicks the crap out of bad guy. |
 Roosters in my neighborhood start at 3:30 am, but lately they’ve been starting at 5am. I wonder why. Is it the moon phase or something else, or are they oversleeping? It’s not just my neighborhood roosters, but the birds from the ballfield and Winn Dixie who have been late. |
| [Passwords] Technology is wonderful and computers are great. What’s wrong is the god-damned passwords! That’s what makes them difficult. |
 What pharmaceutical company made all that methamphetamine for the German army? Bayer? |
| [Political Correctness] Netflix. Every new movie or series has a mixed marriage, bi-racial child, gay parents or gay siblings. |
 I suggest a new movie rating system: bullets per minute . ‘Havoc’ a tom hardy, 1hr 47min movie would get a 5 bullet rating. I’ve never seen so many bullets fired that hit so few people. And no one ever counts bullets and are always running out just when they get a clear shot at the bad guy. That’s the last thing you want. |

 [Key West Shootout] A man is behind bars after a fight escalated to a barrage of gunfire near Key West’s most famous tourist area early Sunday morning, police say. Shortly before 4 a.m., Key West police responded to the area just outside Tattoo and Scars Saloon, 512 Greene Street, where they found two men with gunshot wounds, according to a warrant obtained by the Miami Herald. A witness had called 911, saying she heard six gunshots and saw a large group of people fighting in front of the bar. Link |

 [Worst Instrument after Bagpipe] The theremin’s “woo-ooo” sound has haunted music and cinema lovers for years. Uncanny, spooky, weird. The theremin is a musical instrument with baggage. Depending on your vintage, it’s the aliens landing in The Day The Earth Stood Still or the haunting waltz of Midsomer Murders. It’s the whiplash shriek in the crazy breakdown of Whole Lotta Love, Miss Huang’s instrument of choice during the camping trip in Severance or the trippy wobble in Good Vibrations. Video |
