Thank you @larryB for the lead to this song.
Reportedly written more towards the Cold War, nuclear buildup of the period. The song link is the album cover with scrolling lyric. Just below the image, one may select 'more' to view the entire lyric. T…
My knowledge, on a daily basis; is that some of these folks are in place no matter what their 'leader' does. Others are frustrated in what they thought their 'god' would do to help their place in the world of a better economic position; although I d…
Being an older person; at times, I cringe when I hear partial songs from my younger days being moved through commercials on tv. I understand why certain song pieces are used for marketing of product 'x'. They want to trigger a good feeling in hopes …
Recalling sitting at a picnic table in the summer of 1965 (graduation year) and enjoying this new song from The Rolling Stone, named 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction'. A great beat, a common and simple theme; and great on the radio driving music. Much o…
I'm sure the 'next' has been a thought, over time, among many here. We've talked about this during the marches/protests last year; regarding some of the 'locals', at that time. Obviously, the escalation is at another level now. Whatever actions are …
Another from the reel to reel tracks. One of my all time favorite progressive, rock bands, with overwhelming talent. A large gift, they gave to this/their music period.
Chicago, Where Do We Go From Here, 1970, w/lyrics
War Pigs, the original version was on the reel to reel tapes. This song in particular, left nothing to be discovered; regarding the military and those in command during the 'war' of the period. I recall playing this song to friends who hadn't heard …
Thank you. Might there be any real cracks in the spineless Rup's and their mindless following of the insane at the top of the pile??? Do they listen to anyone in their families or trusted friends about how broken everything has become, and what they…
We were already watching MSNOW when all of this started. And, except for observing what local/network channels are programming to the local populist; we continue to watch MSNOW. A quick check of FoxNews at the time, found that they already had 'thei…
Hi @Old_Joe et al
We bumped into IRMMA during a particular one year period. Wondering if this is the monthly change you indicated. The below may provide helpful information.

Should we imagine mental toddlers seated in front of a bank of 85" monitors connected connected to a series interlaced group of quantum computers running one's choice of AI programs. They argue about Deepseek, relat…
Hi @PopTart
Wish that I had a 'clue'.
I'll be looking at FINVIZ after 8pm, Sunday, for clues from the big kids.
We're 43% equity, 39% mmkt and 18% bonds.
I received this printed poem that was a graduation card in 1965. I still have the card. As I did then, I still dismiss 'the man' reference, to also be inclusive of the feminine reference, too. But, such was the style of the time period.

We made one trip to Eagle Harbor/Ontonagon and the in between communities in January. We were already very familiar with these areas during the summer months, but mid winter is a unique adventure there. At the time about 40 residents remained all ye…
@Derf For winter time..........with only my presumptions about your house.....IF there is not cold air entering into the basement from whatever areas; WITH uninsulated ducts from the furnace, the sub-floors of the house are warmed from the warm d…
@Derf
You noted: Currently living in older home & ducts have no insulation. Is it worth the cost to cover them?
Are you asking about ducts in the basement? Uninsulated ducts in the basement may have a benefit in our climate, IF the basement is n…
@hank There should be a small amount of adjustment of the bracket that holds the manual worm gear that is positioned against the gear teeth at the bottom of the chute assembly. And lubrication allowing for free movement of all parts is very import…
Anna, The begin point of this chart is March 14, just before the Big Beautiful Tariffs.

I'll nibble through this lengthy video. I/we have already observed this 'thing' in action, too much. We've watched a few of his niece, Mary's video discussions. There's a Monster on the loose............
