I am sorry to report that I did not hit the lottery number last night. I will return to being the arrogant, self-centered, know-it-all, smart a$$, narcissistic, caustic, bitter, greedy, hate-filled, Poor old man!

I have spent a few sleepless nights trying to figure out how we can offer free stuff for everyone. If I am correct, only one person could multiply a small amount into enough to satisfy everyone. In the absence of that miracle, I have discovered that the solution is to use Bernie Math. I do not know why it took me so long to find out this simple formula. I guess I need a new calculator, my seems to be broke.

Instant update. I just found a Kroger coupon on the Internet GoodRx which reduced the cost from $316 to $183.4 for 90 day supply. I'll go back to Kroger to check if the coupon is valid.

The song that David Bowie sang with Bing Crosby was Little Drummer boy and not white Christmas. I'll corrected in the next update. Here is link to that here on BCN.

Thanks Ted for allowing me to plug my own article on profiling vs stereotyping. I know it is one of your favorite ones.

KMP, thanks for the link. That is a great column. I am glad that we are on the same page regarding B&S. A great group that held up well over the years. I encourage others to follow the link here or in Kathy's comment.

Visualization is used to formulate thought or to improve performance.
Visual thinkers may also close their eyes, sometimes when talking, so they can better see the internal images without external distraction.

Golfers are almost always taught to imagine the flight of the ball and let muscle memory take over. As. Surgeon, I suspect it is a practiced habit to visualize his next incision point.

That's a great clip.
There is a vast difference between technical competence and mastery. It starts with hours of practice and honed by love of the instrument. Did you notice the kiss at the end of the second clip by Mark? The Resonator deserves that respect, it served him well through the years
Lindsey and Mark both have the love and the mastery down pat.

I forgot to include my Wink Wink, Hint Hint icon on my comment.

Factual opinions is an interesting concept. In some colleges they require you to research all sides before forming an opinion and be prepared to back up your opinion with references and facts.

I could have saved a bunch of money if I knew you could just jump to conclusions based on some clique or phrase. I bought this hat for those who have trouble answering the questions.



I would agree that HRC is an extremely flawed candidate and it apparently has the Democratic party in a quandry on how to extract itself from the debacle she has created.

I don't plan to watch the debate tonight, but I will tape it just like I do the NASCAR races so I can review any wrecks the next day.

Around 1975 when I got married and company transferred me to Florida, I stopped following music closely. Career and family became the primary goal. I've been trying to catch up since retirement.

No, he'll probably never reach that level again. I have never been a Parrothead or even a Deadhead and I only really enjoyed maybe four of his songs which are the popular ones played over and over again. I saw him at the GSEMH (see my post) before he was a huge hit.

The one thing you can say about Jimmy is that he found his niche he stuck with it. He is a fairly affable guy who just found a way to make money and continued to do it. He doesn’t take himself too seriously but people follow him around and listen to the same songs over and over again at his concerts. I think it is a nostalgic wish to revisit a time and place you never were at. I read his autobiography which was written in 1999 " A pirate looks at 50". It's got some good stories but basically it's a story of Jimmy Buffett making a lot of money buying a lot of planes and having a great life living in the niche that he created.

Excuse me, I've got no booze in the blender. I used too but it' all over now.

Ted says most people do not follow the underlined links because they do not know that's what it is.
I suspected a bunch of people followed that nudity referenced underlined link.

Proper advertising is critical to draw an audience, but i suspect the author is just as critical in this case.

I always enjoyed the Beach Boys but never became an active follower as in buying albums and knowing the various members of the band except through radio exposure. Given the choice now I would agree with your selection and add "Good Vibrations" Presented here with some studio video

I was vaguely aware that Brian Wilson had some mental issues and subsequent research from Wiki and other sources show his problems may have been enhanced by drugs. In any event society benefited from his alternate view and musical interpretations and he has a legacy that will endure. I guess that is the endearing beauty of artist. They don't have to conform to our narrow interpretations of normal. Van Gogh and Kurt Vonnegut (mental illness or genius)maybe examples of our tendency to pigeon hole people who don't fit.

Below from WIKI.

"Wilson suffers from auditory hallucinations and has been formally diagnosed as mildly manic-depressive with schizoaffective disorder that presents itself in the form of disembodied voices. According to him, he only began having hallucinations in 1965, shortly after experimenting with psychedelic drugs. In recent years, Wilson's mental condition has improved. Although he still experiences auditory hallucinations from time to time, his relationship with his wife and his new regimen of psychiatric care have allowed him to resume his career as a musician."

If you did not follow the link in the story to Muscle Shoals, it is well worth the read and much more interesting than this post.
Just click on the underlined See the story of Muscle Shoals, Alabama here. It tells the whole history of hits made there.

The documentary film Muscle Shoals is on netflix.

I suspect that the Donald is just building a brand for life after politics who knows maybe he'll have a TV show make America great again. Don't worry this guys all about the money not that there's anything wrong with that.
