We Did "Big Things" Since Then


One of the things that made the Great Depression so bad is that right in the middle of one of the worst financial crisis in the US’s history, there was a drought of epic proportion. The rains just stopped. The picture above was taken near Dalhart, Texas, and you can see the conditions were such that farming or ranching was impossible.

Perfect Launch

Can't Wait to See This Crumb Leave the Senate

I just don't know where they find them out in the hinterland.  Must be he couldn't find a job, probably for good reason, and ran for the Senate to have something to do. Well Buh-Bye!

Mr Molecule Man

Right knee cap is a tad big but maybe just swollen.  He had to jump up on that platform, I bet.

Wonderful Age of Auto Design

I think they looked better back then than now.  I posted one here on Cat and thanks to all who sent me theirs.  This was a favorite as you can see.  I don't even know the make but am guessing it's American.

I didn't know they could determine a mental defect in a dog. 

Monkey? This One Looks Like Zoey, My Cat

Only if the tail had ten times the fur on it like Zoey does.  They both like to climb trees, by the way.

Self Appointed Nazi, Glenn Beckkk has Run in with Rabbis





"We share a belief that the Holocaust, of course, can and should be discussed appropriately in the media. But that is not what we have seen at Fox News," says the ad, signed by hundreds of rabbis and placed by the Jewish Funds for Justice, a nonprofit advocacy group. Earlier this month, the group organized a letter-writing campaign asking Murdoch to remove Beck from the air.

Not sure it's Winnie but Valentine's Day is right around the corner.

Some Early Funnies on the State of the Union Address




I watched the whole speech and thought it  was fair and balanced.  Let's hope the Teajihadists in the Republican seating section see it the same way I did.  We really need to WIN!

Tornado Warnings, 70 mph Winds, Hail the Size of Golf Balls

Zoey & Me are signing off.  It will be old time Florida bad weather time tonight starting in just a few hours.

Rahm Emanuel Not a Resident of Chicago, Court Rules

An Illinois appellate court ruled Monday that Rahm Emanuel cannot run for mayor of Chicago, a decision that shocked the city's political establishment and triggered a rapid appeal from the former White House chief of staff to the state Supreme Court.

See the Washington Post for more.  Click in right margin.

I don't think Rahm did a whole lot for the President while in Washington, D.C. so maybe the courts are looking at a pretty bleak history and jumping on whatever can stop him from running for Mayor.  He's not the nicest guy in town.  I wouldn't vote for him.

Good Air Balloon Site?

No kidding.  According to Angie, this person goes all over the world taking photos from above to calculate the ease or discomfort in navigating an Air Balloon over the Terrain.  How can I get that job?

Boy Does This Bring Back Memories

It's a Pontiac but must be an ad because look at the right front tire.

Well It's Off to Work We Go

I think our little model is too young to work but maybe she's crossing the bridge to get in a Limo for her first audition.  Who knows?  I don't play on starring in any movie this week although the Cape has been used often for movies like Apollo 13.  All I can do is wish her well as we have a ton of competition here in Cape Canaveral.  Surfer stars too!  No, I will get in my car and pick up contracts today and make sure they will all survive a Real Estate closing.  You make it a great week and if you're out there plugging yourself as an extra in a movie or stage production, then good luck to you.  Remember to exercise.  Walking, skiing, skating, even using the home treadmill will buy you a heart healthy day.

Sunday Morning

An Excerpt From My Grandfather's Diary
It won a magazine award back in the 30's
The $500 prize is what they lived on.

Like all youth so with me, I fell in love with a young lady in whose parents home I lived.  But after a certain time she fell out of love with me, and then I left for Zurich in Switzerland, there I worked for a couple of months.  I longed to see a little of the world and I left for Berlin, from Berlin to Venice in Italy, to Paris in France, from there to Bucharest in Rumania, and Bulgaria.  From Sofia to Hungary to Budapest.  Here I worked with the first class workshop.  The Master was a German Jew, he paid me well, only this whole misfortune was that he had a very pretty daughter who was a year younger than I, and what more important she fell in love with me and herself admitted to me her love in German.

      She was a beautiful blonde -- hair plaited in two braids -- which fell below her hips.  Two blue fascinating eyes looking into mine, everything melted in me under her gaze. . . embracing her it seemed to me that I am pressing to me heated iron bar. . . I thought that myself I am made of ice. . .

      This romance lasted barely a couple of months.  On the last Sunday we went for a walk over one of the highest hills beyond the city, named "Margarett Shigat" and here on its summit embracing me she admitted her longing to marry me.  When declaring myself, I said I was too young, and on the other hand she was Jewish and I a Catholic and that this is not and never can be possible, that someday we could sometime marry. 

      Then she presented a plan, that she will take enough money with her and we depart to America, and there no one looks on ones appointment and religion, there one can marry in court, while her father will do nothing to her when we are married, for this is free America.  We made plans to escape (elopement).


      I departed for Cracow; she was to depart after me in two weeks from Cracow we meant immediately to depart to America.  Unfortune willed, that she confessed to her girl friend of her (our) plans, this one had a Jewish fiance who worked with me, and confessed before him our secret.  He then "poured it on" to us in front of her father, who exited my beautiful young lady somewhere distant to his relatives, and whom now I never more did see.  I continued to work in Cracow and I made up with my first love, Miss Anna Jachmiakourna.

      One Sunday we went strolling on Cracow's common where were Gypsies spread out in encampment.  An old Gypsy drew us that we allow fortune telling.  She foretold each alone.  Behold here are her words fortune telling from the hand:

      " You will not marry this young lady.  You will go into the army.  You will meet a chestnut-haired young lady from the south.  You will marry her and with her you will have four children. 

Awaiting you is a very long journey.  It will be bad with you, later good, and again bad, and again good, after which worse and then very good after a short journey." 

      To this fortune telling I did not attribute much importance.
