Flo, I may have told you this before. I had cataract surgery and lens installed, in 2009.
In with 20/600, out with 20/40. Never a problem. Good Luck!

I think Trump and his co-defendants are in deep trouble. This thing about jury selection, in Fulton County is just one example of what they are facing.
The prosecutors, judges and jury pools, in NYC, DC and Fulton County are doing the bidding of The Democrat Party. They will stop at nothing to stop Trump.
They know damn well that if Trump wins, the GOP gets the Senate majority and keeps control of the House, that they will be in boiling water.
I think our best hope will be for SCOTUS to step in before any of this goes to trial. What are the odds of that?
All IMO

"Mama's are always right " ...
My Mama developed severe asthma @ 33. Her health was generally downhill from there. She past at 82. I travelled the World and spent little time near her.
Yet every time I talked with her, on the phone, it went like this;
" How are you doing, Mama?"
" I'm getting better"
Mama was never "getting better" but she wasn't a complainer
B2B
Same to you, Larry. I hope your day is off to a better start than mine. Nothing big, just a general downer
"But I'll be doing better!" A quote from my Mama

Must be the CIA. To some, America is responsible for all things bad.

In my previous post, I made a mistake about the location of the Dismal Swamp. It is not near DC. It's near Norfolk, in the SE corner of Virginia.
Following the Battle of Fredericksburg, Union soldiers retreated through a swampy area, toward DC. Rebels harassed them through the swampy area.
I used to live on the North edge of the swampy area and spent hours walking through it--on dry spots. Locals referred to the area as The Dismal Swamp
I apologize for my mistake.

OMG!!!!!!

LOL.. That's my story and I'm stick'n to it

Hi Cap, this has nothing to do with Oliver's song, but it made me think about how it is from Richmond, the Confederacy Capitol, to DC. 97 miles
Then I thought of the Civil War battles that were so near to DC
Gettysburg -- 87 miles
Antietam--74 miles
Manassas- Bull Run --34 miles
Harpers Ferry--42 miles
The Dismal Swamp 45 miles
Fredericksburg -- 54 miles
It surprised me that so many battles were fought so close to Lincoln's residence.

Thank you east. I'm encouraged by some rappers showing concern for our Country.

Are there two of these pro America rapper songs? I found these lyrics on another board.
I especially lik this line.
"You can hate the Government, and still love the Country"
"Lately, U.S.A. is gettin' scarier
Half of the Americans I see all hate America
They hate the cops doin' they best to take care of us
And kneel for the flag, insult the soldiers that we're buryin'
I'm tired of the pissin' and complainin'
Why you livin' in America if all you do is hate it?
You think it's brave to take a stand against the nation
Real bravery is dying for the right so you could say it
Dear America, what happened to Americans?
Apparently, no one's aware or cares that it's embarrassin', it's arrogance
Our greatest ?nemy was always slavery and terrorists
And now it's p?ople in the country tryna burn the heritage
I can't help it, I just seem to see the world different
It ain't Republicans or liberals, it's mental illness
The Internet is only interested in left opinions
Cancel culture's got more power lately than the First Amendment
If you don't like it, leave, we will not defund police
We don't want no riots in our neighborhoods or in the streets
We respect freedom of speech, we protect what we believe
We don't want nobody dead, so please, do not tread on me
In America, the freedom ain't free
In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas
So America, we say what we believe
My America, I won't ever take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you can disrespect our flag
If my stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags
America
Does anybody know what the hell happened to the patriots?
Lately, this nation is so ashamed and hatin' itself
Did everyone forget that people died to pay for this ungratefulness?
United States gave everything to you just to help
I just wanna celebrate Thanksgiving with my family
I don't need your help to understand it was a tragedy
Can't I just be thankful for my country eating happily
Without you tryna guilt me for the genocide and casualties?
I can't help it, I just seem to see the world different
It ain't black or white, it's conflict designed by the system
I don't need your pronouns, all I see is men and women
Kids are takin' pills for fun while people can't afford prescriptions
If you don't like it, go, hate it, then don't call it home
We don't need no violence, got no time for all you radicals
Screw your status quo, we're not animals
I won't kneel for the anthem 'cause the flag is what I'm standin' fo'
In America, the freedom ain't free
In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas
So America, we say what we believe
My America, I won't ever take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you can disrespect our flag
If my stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags
America
You can hate the government and still love the country
The fundamental values of America are concrete
Republicans and liberals are dumb, to put it bluntly
They're labels that they use to create chaos and corruption
You can know the history and still be proud of where you're from
Every flag around the world is covered in a little blood
We started out United States, divided is what we've become
If home is where the heart is, you should show America some love
In America, the freedom ain't free
In America, got soldiers dyin' overseas
So America, we say what we believe
My America, I won't ever take a knee
Our freedom is the reason you can disrespect our flag
If my stars and stripes offend you, then I'll help you pack your bags
America"
I like that! 'Specially the river background scenes.
Hank Jr was an early victim of Woke.
Monday night Football used to open with Hank JR asking "Are you ready for some football???
Woke didn't like something about him, so they whined. The network dropped "Are you ready for some football??

Hi Cap, again--welcome back!
My grandson's home was burglarized. Among the things taken was his prized Gibson. Heart sick City!
6 years later, he was brousing a pawn shop. He spotted a Gibson. He asked the Broker to bring it to him. It was his!
He had his name engraved in it He told the Broker story, showed him his name and ID. Without another word, the man told Grandson to take the Gibson with him,
How's that for a happy ending?

I did some reading on Norma Jean Baker aka Madylin Monroe. She was born in LA on Jume 1, 1926. Her mother was a weird one. Born in Piedras Negras, Mexico. Her family had moved there, as part of a religious cult.
Norma Jean was in and out of foster homes and children shelters. A least one of her foster "Daddies", sexually abused her. She married a neighbor's son, named Doughtery when she was 16. He went to the Pacific, with the Navy. They divorced shortly after he got home
She was also married to Joe DiMaggio and Aurther Miller.
My favorite MM film was "Some Like It Hot", with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon. All three were great, in that movie.
Marylin died at the early age of 36, of a barbiturate over dose. Her death was ruled a probable suicide.
Goodbye Norma Jean

On American Idol, Adam Lambert, who became a gay icon, did a very gay-ized version of "Ring Of Fire'. Leaving no doubt as to where thar ring was.
Not long after the performance, I saw a cartoon of a zombie Johnie Cash struggling out of his grave, screaming "Alan Lambert, Alan Lambert, Alan Lambert---

Jim Nabors is an interesting one. Born in a small town, in Alabama, in 1930 Got interested in singing and acting while at the U of Alabama Got his first break with a job at a radio station in Chattanooga.
His signature was playing Gomer Pyle, on the Andy Griffin show. He got his own show, on TV.. Gomer Pyle, USMC.
Nabors was openly gay. He and his husband retired to Honolulu, where he died at the age of 89. He died when his system collapsed, following a kidney transplant, several years earlier.

I'll work on that, Cap. Thanks

Ken Curtis had quite a career. He sang with Tommy Dorsey's band. Was a back up for Frank Sinatra. Was lead singer for The Sons Of The Pioneers.
He died , in his sleep, in 1991 of a heart attack. He was in his early 70s.

A notice to all you young folks--- CRS is real!
* I don't remember hearing of John Prine, until a few days after he died.
* I thought that Van Morrison died about the same time that Mama Cass and Jimmie Hendrix did.
* I thought that Molly Hatchet was a Liz Borden copy cat

"The best thing about the Youth Generation is our music."
I was born again, musically, in 1970. I was on a job, in Billings, MT. I was batching. One morning, I was listening to the radio and heard Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, doing "Somethings Burn'n"
I kept the radio, on that station and opened up my head to "The Youth Generation " music.
Lake Charles was a great venue. Very small auditorium. Saw Kenny Rogers, The Band, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Crem.
Sorry about the Off Topic. I did keep it on music.

Some perspective on the wind turbine story.
I have a house on a lake, in Grady County,, in SW Oklahoma. 6 years ago a 300 turbine wind farm was installed, all around me. Each turbine requires 40 acres of land. 12.000 acres.
No farming allowed because of the hazard of broken wind turbine blades catapulting across the country side. A 150' to 180' blade can cause a lot of damage.
Not a bad deal for the former farmers. Word is they get $3200 per turbine
12,000 acres of once productive farm land, now laying fallow. That wind farm is one of three, in Grady County.. That's 36, 000 acres in one County.
My house is a mile and a half, off the highway. There are 4 producing oil wells., along that county road. Each well location occupies about 2 acres. they take up 8 acres of farmland.
It would be interesting to know how much energy is produced from those 8 acres vs the energy produced from the 12,000 acres of wind turbines.

Sit down, Younkin!---and the 20, or so, others, behind Trump and Di Santis.
I'm for Trump because of his policies and I think he has the best chance of draining the DC Cesspool. IMO, Di Santis is easily the next best.
And I think it's important that Di Santis remains strong. The Dims could be successful in keeping Trump off the ballot.
A very sad fact of life. The Left could resort to the JFK Solution.
