ping

I heard twice on faux snooze oops I see that so much my auto-ridiculer picked it up. On Fox News, different ladies both Miss Americas apparently, I don't know that for sure and don't care but they seem it, both asked their invited guest expert, "what will we learn when the black box is found?" The expert launches in to a lengthy explanation on what black boxes record and both times, both experts do not mention they will have found the plane and 239 missing people.

Ping the duck.

Pogo is Only Mostly Dead:

I read that book to my son, when he was a toddler, as my dad read it to me, when I was a toddler, as his mom and dad read it to him, as a toddler.

That said: What now 'n' next.

The tension ain't new; expressed it was, long ago, and some of us were raised knowing it.

rcommal said...

Eh, "shrug." So it goes.

rcommal said...

Why is it, by the way, that stalwarts question the notion of "shrug"?

As if shrugging isn't among a general, every-day value here, and that such a thing doesn't both inform and justify any and every sort of comment scattered here and there and everywhere, mostly intended to crush people. Crush 'em. So that they shut up.

Still not admiring the dishonesty. Full stop.

It is sublime.

Megyn Kelly is so cute. She even spells her first name cute.

And, she speaks with such urgency.

You don't like her?

It is sublime.

It is. Sometimes I need a ping. The background distracted me.

At the time that I linked to that video, it was available. Perhaps my viewing it several times and then linking it triggered the "no, no, no" thing.

(Also, just to be clear, we have what I linked in our music library, on account of it being a thing I'd heard all of my life, since I was the baby/toddler of my very young parents, still in music schools. :) ; (

Well, again, so OK then. Let's forget about trying for original and/or live performances by live-performing musicians back in the day. I will do that, forget, when necessary.

trying again to link to the point

Heh. LOL. I'm feeling a strong compulsion to defend and justify my upbringing and my parents and my larger family.

So I'm going to indulge that.

My practicing, professional musician parents were also gun-folks, all of their lives. (My mom's dead; my dad is still alive.)

I started learning how to use a violin and piano by/at first grade. I started learning how to use a shotgun/rifle/piston by/at 2nd/3rd grade.

It is true that, on account of none of those things turning out to be my passion, I gave up pursuing those things as a personal endeavor at some point in my growing-up from childhood days.

My having not ultimately pursued music as a career nor firearms as a hobby does not mean that I was not well-educated in both from an early age. Nor does it mean that I've abandoned early values or real, educated knowledge.

I resent assumptions from what is now considered the right and the left, and for very good reason--

--and for very good reasons!

For a long time I said, "It's not an 'or," it's an 'and.' "

The response was: "You're a squish etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc."

Well, you all were right. Squished you all wanted, and squish you all have gotten, bless your hearts.

Why that makes you all the more ballsy is a mystery, but I'm willing not to bother thinking about that. Best to let that sort of idea go and just go on with day-to-day life.

Also--"by the way"--why is it that so many of you are enamored of/led by folks who were born, bred and raised in urban environments and yet profess to be leaders of the back-to-small-town movement? That's nonsense. Why don't you know that such a thing is nonsense?
