I was having a drink with Prince Charles and the Queen
When Winston Churchill stepped into my dream
His head it was heavy, his voice was shakin’
He said, “Look what they’ve done. It’s the death of a nation.”

I usually see that spelled as Dindu Nuttin.
I read a bit of the Trayvon M article, but realizing I don’t even like Jay-Z, I soon moved on.
BTW, I think I’m going to see Dinesh D’s new film Death of a Nation. I can see an 11 a.m. matinee close to home.
I took my phone to a U Break I Fix shop. The last few times I needed phone repairs I took it to the location at FM 518 @ Hwy 288 in Pearland. For those who don’t know, that’s a very popular area and traffic is a PITA. But the UBIF folks do good work and very reasonable prices. Hubby… Read more »

We had another successful Bonecrusher family reunion this weekend. There were close to 40 people and 4 generations under 1 roof. My parents are truly blessed to be able to enjoy great grandchildren, 9 I think, and still have full mental and physical faculties. YUP, LIFE IS GOOD.

The Suzuki wasn’t the only one with a Wankel engine, the Hercules W-2000, is actually more well known in the motorcycle world. All the Wankel motors, including the Mazda’s were ahead of their time, but they all suffered from compression leakage around the rotors due to the rapid wear of the carbon tips. You could only get about 30K miles… Read more »

I can remember building specific forts in the early 60s but for the life of me I can’t remember if I even had a honeymoon or what we did after we got hitched in 1972.
We probably went to Ingram.

We’ve discussed the annoying habit of Millennials and younger and their gratuitous use of “like”. Another annoying habit is starting sentences off with “So” whenever they’re asked a question. Drives me crazy.
