Sad to see you went too soon, Pete. About the same age, we were Montana neighbors at times. I liked your movies.
Peter Fonda, his wife, and his children sometimes resided up the Yellowstone River south of Livingston, about fifty miles from where I grew up along the same river west of Big Timber.

Good to see some kicking in here.

Water showering down from sprinklers makes for a rude awakening, Gail... Remind me to re-fill the cistern with Mezcal after this.
Oh, what a lark!
Porlock's in the dark.
Needing some light
To aid his sight.
Maybe some verse,
Wouldn't make it worse.

As I was reading, I declare
I saw a post that wasn't there
when I returned to my dismay
it wasn't there again today.

With all the farting going on I would think twice about bringing a lantern in here.
Uh oh! There goes what was left of my hair!
Is Mezcal flammable?

Missing posts! They are like ghosts,
That float across the screen.
They do beguile, sometimes defile,
Yet still remain unseen.

Til a' the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
If ye drink mescal instead of scotch,
Ye gut will be undone.
With apologies to the bard of Ayrshire.
reminds me of the old question of the difference between an Irish wake and an Irish wedding?

No one under thirty would understand a single post here.
But then when my younger coworkers start talking about Yu Yu Hakusho, (a dreadful Japanese anima series, don’t look it up, not worth it) I “tune out”… on purpose.
I work with young helpers all the time. I had this kid actually use Google to translate what I said to him. I said, “Are you trying to buffalo me?” I actually caught him after he walked away getting a voice response from the google A.I., “An urban saying meaning to be fooled, manipulated or tricked.” Some people use Google to translate languages. I’m so far out of time, twenty-year-olds need it to understand what I’m saying.
Funny thing. This generation thinks they know it all because they have the library of the world at their fingertips. But the missing piece is that knowledge and wisdom are two very different things. You can have all the knowledge of the world at your disposal, but without the complexity to filter it and direct its use, it’s just a shapeless sea of facts.
*sigh* A lecture that was lost on him and many young people I’ve come across lately.

Yeah, but I bet you work circles around all of those whipper-snappers... Now, let 'em go look that terminology up
Oh, and
to AW, Kameron!
Kameron!! Feel free to part your Zimmer frame here anytime. Very true. You can explain it to those youngsters as: Knowledge, is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom, is not putting it in a fruit salad.
BTW, I'm pretty sure our generation thought we knew it all because we had rock 'n roll and because we were social revolutionists and because
but the difference is that we were right!
because some of us were humble enough to actually admit we made mistakes but of course we now have to ask young people to translate what they are saying since "hack" no longer means "taxicab" and "wonk" I'm still not sure of. Geezers unite!
