As a Dustoff Pilot, I would fly out for pick-ups in the field. Each day I would see the conditions that the ground troops had to endure and I would draw comparisons to my own situation.

I have an "Our Long National Nightmare is Over" narrative within me that may end up as a series of posts, but I will wait until Donald J. Trump is sworn in. In the meanwhile, in this Christmas season, I post this fantastically funny seasonal video sent to me by my BCN friend, Alex J. Ortolano.

When I orignially posted the article on the passing of Fats Domino, I had hopes that it would generate some comments from Alex J. Ortolano who was raised in New Orleans. I doubt that anyone not born and raised in New Orleans could capture the musical magic that was that city.

The J. Geils band was formed in 1967. They hung around until 1985 when they broke up like all good rock bands are want to do. The result was a series of lawsuits and bad feelings. Like any bad marriage the breakup was based on a shaky ground of "Creative Differences."

Or at least an attempt at humor. Locals always get a kick out of a non-native when they mispronounce places or people names. Despite the fact that there is a whole system of symbols and codes to help the unlearned among us, many people continue to mispronounce words based on reading only.

Let me see if I have this correct. The feminist have always attacked beauty contest as demeaning to women and now they have chosen a beauty contestant winner to represent them in their battle against the owner of a beauty contest.

In honor of the Iowa Caucuses today I have gone back into my Archives to bring you a Presidential Campaign Silliness from the 2008 Election. Do you think we have progressed past Silly since then. I sure don't.

My Blog Postings stay valid even when the person I write them to pays no attention to my very logical requests. I wrote this one to the newly elected President of the Good Ole USofA right after he was elected in 2008. He has paid me no never mind.
