May be an image of standing and lightning

Christ the Redeemer statue was struck by lightning.

BOOM

The Brazilians say it is a bad omen.  Have a good Monday I say.

Whatever is happening at Michigan State has certainly caught the undivided attention of the US and Canada and likely a good hunk of Europe as well.  Lots of folks are wondering “Why Michigan State?”  Me included.  Wondering if the rest of the Big 10 is next.

Oh man, I am glad I just have my laptop downstairs and the router upstairs, still connected to David’s big computer. I no longer watch “TV”, although I am following a week-day show on Peacock, which I watch on the laptop. I do occasionally turn on the tv to watch something on video tape or on DVD. There is a… Read more »

Hammie helped me learn to cast (mirror) from my phone to my TV after I got the Firestick.

The conditions at Michigan State are a complete mess.  No one knows what is going on and there are reports of shots fired coming in from all over the place.  News conference here in about 10 minutes.  No classes for 48 hours.  Suspect(s) still at large.

If you have a router and a computer, you have a network.  You may need to connect your smart TV to the network – that would be somewhere in settings on the TV set.  If you have an Amazon Fire Stick or Roku, you need to set it up to connect to the router, and it will also be a… Read more »

The Luv Airline Back in the late 1970s, you could go to Love Field, Hobby, Austin Municipal, Corpus Christi or Midland/Odessa airports on a Friday afternoon and see the most incredible crowds of beautiful Texas girls waiting in line to board flights to see their weekend dates, boyfriends, fiances in some other Texas city because the flights were only $19.… Read more »

Now those things have disappeared. Is it normal for Mac to just do its own thing whenever it wants ?  Are Windows and Apple psycho ops to make us all go slowly insane ?  Is that the real game ?  Forget AI – they don’t need it after all.

Squawk If I have cleared “history”, why do I still have crap showing up in my “control center” I don’t need to keep hanging around ? There is apparently no way to delete it so I assume history hasn’t really been cleared. Also. all these instructions I get for clearing the cache don’t match what I see on my computer… Read more »

I’m too young to have experienced the 70s flight attendant uniforms. 🙁 I think my first flight was at the ripe old age of seven. My cousin (same age) and I flew by ourselves from Hobby to Love Field. I was nervous and excited but I was comforted knowing this was my cousin’s 20th flight give or take. My cousin’s… Read more »

Well, I’m ready to hurl this Mac into the river.

At least I could clear the cache, history and restart in about 3 steps in Windows.  Every single place I have looked including Apple support has been worthless.

It’s easy to clear most of the history, but bits linger. Clearing the cache instructions do not apply to this Mac anywhere.

The 1940 Air Terminal Museum has a History Of The Flight Attendant Uniform exhibition through February. Clearly, the uniforms reached their zenith in the 1970’s. The early 1970s welcomed bright colors, psychedelic patterns, short skirts, and go-go boots. Pan Am designed its first above-the-knee hemline and bold color choices of Superjet Blue or Galaxy Gold, and Delta offered its first… Read more »

I’m amazed at the bee keepers who casually walk around and open their hives without protection.

Working bees are happy bees. The last thing they want is to not take their floral loot back to the hive.

There is some place off Hwy 6 south of College Station that sells apiary supplies. They’ll even sell you a queen and workers to get your own hive started. I just realized my oldest is deathly afraid of all “zzzzing” flying insects… especially those that sting. Maybe if I put a bee hive in the backyard that will be an… Read more »

I’m still holding those sewing machines for you, TT.

I’m thinking I’ll combine their delivery with a visit to the Hobby 1940 Air Terminal Museum and the Lone Star Flight Museum. Since I won’t cook for her, I’ve given up on finding a widow to accompany me.

#67 Texmo If you scroll down from your link, there’s a deer-in-headlights woman in a fake colored wig, doing one of those “hold up signs that are taken down one at a time to tell a story. She holds up some pieces of paper, and the front one says “Just because I voted for Biden doesn’t mean I’m stupid. 🙁… Read more »

We had a “leftover salad” tonight.  I had some leftover meat and a few veggies in the frig.  What I like to do is put a little oil in a pan and cut my meat up into bite size pieces and fry ’em a bit.  I put that on top of a salad.  This evening I also put the few… Read more »

Dark chocolate is supposed to be good for the heart, but not so the milk chocolates.  We prefer dark  chocolate regardless of that feature.

Another thing I like about Catherine – she doesn’t waste my time.  So many of these “how to” crafting videos go sooooo sllllooooooowwwwlllllyyyy and they repeat the visual cues so often it drives me nuts.

I get it, I get it!  You’re going to cut that little flap off and finish sewing around the hem.  Etc., etc….

There’s also a channel on YT called “Catherine Sews”.  I like her stuff – how to upcycle, upgrade, renew older clothes, sewing tips, how to grade a pattern…. Like I said, I like learning stuff.  Her stuff I may actually get to use some day.  And she’s very calming to listen to.  If I want some off beat sarcasm, I… Read more »

Not a drop of rain here all day though our little weather station keeps showing raindrops on its weather page for our area.  The little station must reach a large area.  Forecast for tomorrow sounds rainy in the morning.  Good thing we don’t have anything scheduled for going outside until dinner.  Valentine chocolates have lasted almost a week but might… Read more »

I’ve been watching beekeeping videos lately.  Learning how to split hives, how to handle “hot hives,” how to force new queens, what to look for when inspecting hives….

I don’t ever plan on having an apiary, but I do like learning stuff.

I fired Netflix a couple of years ago, but I still have Prime.  I seldom watch Prime, but I do watch stuff on freevee and Tubi mostly, in addition to the free side of YT.  YT actually has quite a few movies available.
