Our kids don’t start school until next week, but today is the first day of school for a lot of kids, and it’s pretty darn cool it coincides with the solar eclipse. That’s going to make a great memory. I also think the path of the solar eclipse is pretty neat, how it will cross the U.S. diagonally, almost in half.
Even with anesthesia, having a needle stuck in your spine still hurts. But the worst part of the experience was about 20-minutes after the dye was injected for the x-rays and CT scan. The injection caused additional pressure on my nerves and it felt like I had two massive hamstring cramps.
Jerry Lewis lived a long life, made a lot of people laugh, and made the lives of many suffering from muscular dystrophy better for just a hair under a half-century. Not perfect by any means and certainly full of flaws, but he certainly impacted lives for the better and impacted the majority of my Labor Days.
Lewis didn’t tweet often. His last tweet was back in May of 2016 in regards to his 90th birthday with a woman in lingerie presenting him a birthday cake.
What the heck is up with our Navy as of late?! With today’s technology, there’s no excuse for collisions to happen.
I received this picture from a friend. It’s a glimpse of the future. If you can’t tell, there are about eight Tesla charging stations in front of those gas pump.
A nice piece of advice from Adam Savage, “First buy the cheapest tool you can find, and when you break it it means you used it a lot, then buy the best one you can afford.”
Last night’s ‘Game of Thrones’ caused me to look up the word “wringing”, which means to complain fretfully.
@DallasNews – ICYMI… Former Ranger Derek Holland gets sentimental in return to Arlington, writes ‘thank you’ on the mound
NASA – Eyes Eclipse 2017 Web Application – In this interactive, web-based 3D simulation, you can click anywhere on the Earth to preview your view of the August 21st, 2017 total eclipse.
The number 1 word is “Lord” (this includes both the upper case “Lord”, which refers to God and the lower case “lord”, which would refer to a someone’s superior), with 7,759 occurrences, followed by God, at number 2, with 3,977 occurrences. Interestingly, “Jesus” makes the list (ranked # 10 with 1,273 occurrences), despite the fact that the New Testament accounts for less than 23% of the 274,000+ words
Random grammar humor: I love eating babies and smiling. But I hate punctuation.
. . . we’ve created @trumps_feed, an account that checks whom Trump follows every five minutes and then retweets any new tweets from them over that period. The net result is a replication of what Trump would see on those occasions that he switches over from the Mentions tab.
This morning I’m getting a myelogram and more than likely you are not.
Astronauts can’t whistle during a space walk because of the low air pressure in their suits.
Until watching a special last night, I never thought of how big a deal it must have been for Elvis, at the top of his fame, to be recruited into the Army and then serve as a private. At least, pop-culture wise. His step-brother said that was when he was first introduced to drugs, he was given uppers to stay awake during duty while serving in Germany. The special also stated his mother died when he was in basic training.
I’ve never listened to Howard Stern’s radio program until yesterday, and I only did so because David Letterman sat down for an hour and twenty minutes with him. It was a great interview, and I don’t think Stern is the shock-jock he used to be. Dave revealed some things about the “magic” of the show I now wish I never knew because a bit of the magic is gone. For instance, Andy Kaufman always let Dave know what he planned on doing before going on air.
Air Force pilot landed an A-10 sans landing gear and without a canopy because it blew off.
Last month, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, “You want to see chaos? You should come to my house early in the morning when my three kids are running around. That’s chaos. This is nothing.”
No one in that role wants to admit they can’t handle their job, but after the president’s press conference yesterday, I call bullshit.
“The fact that a conflict has many sides does not imply that every side has merit.”
I always thought “The South shall rise again” was a bit of humor, but now I’m not sure. It could be prophetic.
“A fourth top executive on Tuesday resigned from President Trump’s manufacturing council in the wake of his handling of the violence and terror attack in Charlottesville last weekend.” – CBS News
Yet not one person on Trump’s Evangelical Council has resigned. But then again, maybe he needs all the spiritual advice he can get.
I doubt Stone Mountain will be coming down anytime soon.
