A couple of weeks ago, my wife and youngest daughter had to practically hog tie me</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> to go to the emergency room. I just damned refused Two emergency teams later...I went. They didn't like how I looked...pale, and ashen, my wife and daughter, that is. Heart Attack was the word the bantered about n the ER. That was a late Friday night. I remembered nothing until early Monday morning. Mainly, I think to a decisive coma, they got me in. That alone scared the crap out of my wife. So much so that she called my brother in California for his advice. I was also reacting to the drugs they use for the coma and was fighting the nurses...physically They had to strapped me to the bed. Monday I had a better reality and attitude. The nurses forgave.me he end of the week, they let me go home. Unfortunately, I have to supplement my heart's oxygen supply wearing a damn small tank. Eventually that will go away...we hope.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When I got home,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">it dawned on me that I had not seen one newspaper, or news report...not read one political article and greatest of all ...not seen one ferking photo of the fool in our White House. The heart attack, notwithstanding...a damn fine mental vacation. I am going to try to keep it that way.</span>jadedjhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673195676510322044.post-16297946118961036212019-07-05T17:13:00.002-05:002019-07-05T17:13:50.076-05:00Proof...<i>That Drumpf was right,</i><br />

Our Bozo-in-Chief, insults not only dead veterans, but live ones as well. What a bottom sucking scumbag he is. Don't know if it is true, or not, but supposedly he didn't want to get his "hair" wet. Hair that more resembles the fur around a monkey's ass. As a veteran, I am particularly incensed by this and it doesn't matter why he chose not to attend. I am truly fed up with this motherfucker!</div>

<br />
The daily bullshit (aka...lying) coming from the slime currently in the White House has finally caught up with me. I find myself in an almost constant state of fury...which, of course, is counter productive, unhealthy and well...stupid. But it is hard to shake. I try to skip any news related to the sorry POS, but...it doesn't always work...good intentions notwithstanding.<br />
<br />
When I'm in my studio painting, or drawing, I usually play music. My oldest daughter recently introduced me to Spotify and I have discovered the perfect music source. No, not discovered...introduced to.<br />
<br />
. The great thing about Spotify is the ability to search for any song, record, group, genre and you will find it. And I have discovered not only my blues and classical favorites, but some damned soothing guitar pieces. In particular a category called Peaceful Guitar.. And, not surprisingly...it calms my rage. I can't post Spotify here, but YouTube has many videos which fit this category. I wanted to share this with you. The following is a three hour one, so listen to a little to get the idea. Or, go for the Full Monty.<br />

<span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><i><br /></i><i>I read this on Facebook. It was taken from something called, Aviation Humor. Is it fact or factoid? I don't know, but I enjoyed reading it. What do you think?</i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Why was that gauge used?</span></i><br />
<br />
Because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Why did the English build them like that?</span></i><br />
<br />
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Why did 'they' use that gauge then?</span></i><br />
<br />
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?</span></i><br />
<br />
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Who built those old rutted roads?</span></i><br />
<br />
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">And what about the ruts in the roads?</span></i><br />
<br />
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot.<br />
<br />
So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder, 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">More horse's ass influence:</span></i><br />
<br />
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.<br />
<br />
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses controlled almost everything. The tradition continues to this day.jadedjhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673195676510322044.post-32567766756723866402018-01-13T03:25:00.000-06:002018-01-13T03:25:00.292-06:00A good example of...<i>"I am not a good American...I prefer to form my own opinions"</i> - George Carlin<br />
