That's my best impression of a shark which doesn't need a male.

I feel like there is news we're ignoring. Feel free.

Another day working for a handful of dimes followed by tutoring chemistry to a young mind.

I want this song played at my funeral, LOUD, with subwoofers in the pews. That would be my Dick Dale response to all the low riders I hear day after day.

No, I want this song to be the theme song for my fantasy plastic realties website.

(CNN)To the teacher, the assignment was a simple question of physics. To critics, it was a tasteless assignment about death at sea.

A teacher in the eastern Polish city of Bialystok gave the size of a boat and the number of people on board.

The students' assignment? To calculate how many Syrian refugees had to be thrown overboard for the boat to stay afloat and reach Greece.

"Pupils are not interested when I explain the lift of a wooden block floating on water," he said. "I told them it was a joke while saying words to be written down." Link

"Carry me, caravan, take me away

Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain

Andalusia with fields full of grain

I have to see you again and again..."

So, I'm having a private showing of some plastic reality beverages tomorrow and hopefully I will sell enough to buy some new plastics and to carry on experiments.

A website is coming soon.

Another favorite from the "Aqua Velvets." Their music is a pastiche -- this one evokes the Middle East.

I've been hard at work on some new plastic drinks, with a focus on beer. San Diego County is a hot bed of hop heads and I need to tap that market.

The Aqua Velvet's music sounds a bit like musical scores for imaginary spaghetti westerns. This one is a theme for an imaginary "spaghetti eastern:"

By far my favorite Aqua Velvets song.

Perhaps someone who knows music better than I do can explain what the guitars are doing -- chord changes? Key changes?  How do they play the same reverbed riff over and over while sounding different?

Here's my latest plastic reality:

Suggested use:

A co-worker wants one to hang from her rear view mirror.  Sort of like fuzzy dice.

I'm thinking of selling these for extra Christmas money. Say, $5 plus shipping.

Any interest?

From the Aqua Velvets' website:

A fascinating blend of spaghetti western, shimmering psychedelia, pristine surf, latin rhythms, mysterious faraway places, and a tongue-in-cheek dash of lounge. link

Tongue in cheek?

This is not my favorite Aqua Velvets tune but it's close too it.

This is called "Return to Paia" and it reminds me of a Spaghetti Western soundtrack:
