Hey Old Timer. Be honest with your self.
Would you be better or worse off, with AGYP, if you had listened to the 3 bashers?
The three of us spotted The Gyp for a scam, from the get go, and said so. We were right.

Giovanni, if only the ChiComs would do their part in fighting the Global Climate Change Hoax!
I think that the story told about 3 gorges Dam collapsing is a few years old.
.
The only thing that I found, relating to it failing is from 2020.

I do a lot of reminiscing about my favorite scenes and lines , from movies and songs. Today I've thinking about Saving Private Ryan
The film opens with an elderly Private Ryan, his wife and a few of his off springs, walking across an American Military Cemetary, in France, looking at tombstones. He finds what he was looking for. The marker for Captain Miller. The leader of the patrol that was sent to save him.
As he quietly looked at the marker, the film goes to WW 2. Captain Miller is laying, mortally wounded. in the ruble of a French village. Private Ryan is kneeling beside Captain Miller
" How can I possibly repay you and your men, for what you are doing for me?"
With his last breath, Captain Miller says "Just be a good man."
The film shifts back to the Cemetary. The elderly Private Ryan, without breaking his gaze at the tombstone, says to his wife.
" Honey, have I been a good man?".
I can't think of a better epitaph than--
He was a good man"

Gary was a major contributor to I-Hub. I often have good thoughts of him.
I thought of him every time I saw the disaster that Portland had become. Gary loved the place.
Thanks for the reminder, Trin.

Cap, a line from Merle's song keeps ringing in my head.
" When your run'n down my Country, Hoss, your walk'n on the fight'n side of me."

There have been some fine songs, recently about the glories of our Country. But Merle Haggard beat 'em to it, in 1970
"Walk'n On The Fight'n Siide Of Me"
Praise be to Mr Carrier!
I lived in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain for 5 years. Temps in the 120s are not uncommon. The Irish Rovers have a song . "Life In The Emirates"
" It's rough, in the Gulf, when the Acs not work'n---"
Among our social circle was the Persian Gulf rep for Carrier.
We toasted Mr Carrier at all of our events.

A sure sign of impending anarchy---
Chicago's gangs have declared a cease fire Between 9AM & 9 PM!. The other 12 hours are mayhem as usual
Where in hell are the police? The National Guard, armed with M-16s ans stun guns?. In Chicago, it's mow up to Black gangs to try for 12 hours a day some semblance of peace and quiet?
How time have changed! The Watts Riots were finally stopped by the LAPD and 14,000 National Guardsmen, dispatched by Democrat Governor, Pat Brown. LAPD and the NG shot and killed 32 rioters. That was 32 taken out of the mayhem breeding pool.
But somethings have not changed. The Watts Riots, with 32 deaths and $40 million. in 1965 dollars, started with a Black man resisting arrest, for DWI!.

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

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---
