    Excellent! I have some Vincent Price read audio from Poe, also. His voice puts you right away in all the creepy movies he's been in.

  2. States accused of fudging or bungling COVID-19 testing data

    "In Georgia, one of the earliest states to ease up on lockdowns and assure the public it was safe to go out again, the Department of Public Health published a graph around May 11 that showed new COVID-19 cases declining over time in the most severely affected counties. The daily entries, however, were not arranged in chronological order but in descending order.

    For example, the May 7 totals came right before April 26, which was followed by May 3. A quick look at the graph made it appear as if the decline was smoother than it really was."

    Easy to see how good Georgia's doing!

  3. The son of my best long time friend is a pro Drift racer. He is a master rotary builder who is the only rotary user in the League. This pup belongs to an older lady who used to photograph the events nationwide. IMG_0349.thumb.JPG.7195ad582a803ea94a4abe5c532d5d53.JPG

    We all have to admit its just a matter of time before our planets space and resources are going to be gone.  We're asleep at the wheel right now.    Why would we not possibly think this could be orchestrated between major world powers?  Heaven forbid, they're just looking out for our best benefit right?

    Of course our planets resources are finite. I do not want to think this is programmed.  But there is really no compelling evidence to suggest otherwise, either. This is no less plausible than any other theory.

    the city is very old , and going back to Louisiana , the French Regime ----they had no science like today -

    They also were a victim in Bush Jr's decision to take the money allocated to the Corps Of Engineers to modify and fortify the levees around New Orleans. One o fthe first acts by his admin.

    I always wondered why people thought it was a good idea to build stuff below sea level?

    Or in perpetually ravaged tornado alleys? Or along the shoreline that is rapidly expanding? Or building over and over in generations old flood plains? What's wrong with these people?

    That's hilarious! It reminds me of the old Star Trek about the 'Shootout at the OK Corral.' The buildings in town had a front facade, a front door and maybe a side wall. You coud've just pranced into them from any angle but everyone politely used the door to enter. I wonder if the pups moved over, would they still be as P.O.'d?

    Sweet ... glad you had that opportunity and took it.  I got a photo of me & Brian May taken at a 3D Photography show (he’s a big 3D photographer and took photos ALL the time while touring with Queen -- and the photos are so cool to look at). I have never asked for one -- i will take one if happens without me having to ask; so I had the chance to take one with Brian and couldn’t turn it down.(Unlike the time that i met the actress Rhona Mitra, who is not only BREATHTAKING, but has that cool British accent. I have a phone on my camera, but like i said, i never ask. She did sto...

    Haven’t been to a concert in a couple of years now. Guess it will be a while before i get to one.   

     

    I wanted to 'like' your great parts and 'sad' the others at the same time. I miss live music very much and I feel like I may have to stay away for a bit longer.

    Check out the Covid cases by county in the US. Interesting that a lot of places reopening right now. Lots of Covid out there.

    Washington's death rate up. A bit alarming. A while back I posited on the amount of confirmed cases going up. Now this.

    what I meant was, I don't think is a ship sitting on dry land. I think someone put a picture of ship into a desert landscape. 

    The clouds look phony as all heck to me.

    But had some nice fishing off the SoCal coast during an El Nino year. Yellowtails were everywhere except on my fishing line.  Took my kids (who were rather young at the time). My youngest wanted to bring her neon pink kid's fishing pole. I told her that we were going out on the ocean and needed one of my fishing poles. She really wanted her kid one, so I figured that I'd let her be happy. She was the first one on the boat to catch a fish and it was a nice Yellowtail. I had to help her reel it in and it took a while, but we landed it. 

    I'll say you did! And Yellowfin Tuna was not too far out for a long day trip too. Poke baby! Last time I was down a friend had a bbq full of yellowtail. Soo good.

    The currents that hold the tuna came very close to shore in SoCal and Mexico. Wish I were there!

    I first started skateboarding in 72' with a birthday present from my mom. An $8 Free Former double kicktail. FF to 78' (and 3 boards later) when I saved some money from my paper route and bought my first piece(s) of high quality equipment. A set of Sims Snake wheels. I had no idea those wheels in white were quite rare as they were normally in green (88a) or dark red (92.5a). 

     

    I rode the tar outta these things and even used them at my first visit to a skate-park in Seminole, FL (from Cincinnati). Never did any power slides or grinding that could put flat spots on em'. They got retired when street skating around home was getting rough as sidewalks were rarely repaired and our favorite schoolyard had too many pebbles to roll over with a hard durometer wheel. That let to my first set of Kryptonics red core 65mm's. Then a set in 70mm.

     

    FF to a month ago. Cruising fleebay, I came across my old friends the Snakes. BUT IN NOS CONDITION!! I couldn't hit the proxy bid fast enough. A month later, they just now arrived from the UK. I must have put more miles on the originals than I thought. The newly arrived specimens are 66mm diameter and my originals measure barely 61mm.

     

    But NOW I'M HAPPY AS ......well...

     

    Not gonna ride em's just something off my bucket list. My special order Sims LaMar deck is being in Australia. Homefully that won't be too long. Already ordered the trucks for it.

    Fashion designer Ellen Macomber has begun producing coronavirus-era masks perforated with small lip-level holes. Her new creation is meant to answer the crucial question: How are you supposed to sip a cocktail while wearing a mask?

    Careful there, it might be a trick. He said pennies on the dollar, it might be 99 pennies to a dollar and that is't a real good deal.

    Might be an ok deal if they throw in the ship.
