    I've approached this from several different angles and it's just not true.

    Dad Sayings - Words of Wisdom

    One of my best friends was at my house in high school and said this (as most guys do at some point I guess) just as my dad walked past the conversation and without looking up or pausing as he walked past says "Then let somebody else do it and save your pride."

    Dad Sayings - Words of Wisdom

    My adult daughter and her fiance were having trouble with getting a car started last night so they called for advice. While they were on FaceTime I was trying to educate them on what to look for. Out of nowhere I spewed out one of the things my dad always said, "An engine needs two things to...

    What is the Greatest Soundtrack Ever?

    I was listening to Dire Straits "Making Movies" on vinyl last night and my mind went down a rabbit hole thinking about other albums "Queen of the Damned", "Breakfast Club", "The Crow", etc. and got me wondering: What is the greatest soundtrack album?

    What's streaming that's good TV/movies

    The Outsider on HBO/Max is from 2020 and based on the Stephen King book. It's one season, 10 episodes. Directed by Jason Bateman. It is so well done. I used to like the Castle Rock series on Hulu because it was Stephen King based, but this short series was so much better!

    What's streaming that's good TV/movies

    We just finished Loudermilk. If you like/liked OfficeSpace then this is basically that movie set in Seattle amid recovering alcoholics. It started off strong and funny, but by the end of the third season (end of series) it was wrapped up terribly. We watched the first season of Slow Horses...

    Evidence of life found in the atmosphere of Venus

    Consequences? One thing I continue to explain to people who believe in UFO's and "humanoid" life forms is that the likelihood is way beyond infinitesimal. The fact that humans/primates are on Earth is astounding, having evolved only after FIVE prior extinction events on this planet. So to...

    What Song, Album, Artist Have You "Outgrown"

    Hard pass. I guess they're partnering up in the fight to see who steps into the Jimmy Buffet void?

    What Song, Album, Artist Have You "Outgrown"

    I've only got a couple that have left me. I used to love REM in the 80's/90's. I haven't purposefully listened to an REM song in at least a decade. I used to like Zac Brown Band and looked forward to them touring. I don't even know if they exist anymore.

    NA White Claw

    I remember several years ago seeing Old Milwaukee NA and thought... "do people actually drink that for the taste?" A NA White Claw would only be marginally different.

    2024 Stock Talk - Who Are You Betting On?

    I've been holding JEPI since May '23. It's paid a number of dividends but the price is now lower than I paid in May so my total return so far is like under 1%. I really expected a lot more from this, but I'll be patient and hope it starts moving.
