Things of Interest and That Burn Me.
1. GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME-- A real big stink going on at a housing complex in Algonquin, Illinois, where the association decided to put in a pet waste container and plastic bag dispenser in October. Good idea, but not within 25 feet of a lady's door. After getting no satisfaction from her association, she took matters in her own hands and removed it and ended up getting charged with a Class A Misdemeanor and had to pay $300. Oh, well, the best-laid plans.
2. GOOD OLD NEWSPAPERS-- Newspapers are in their final gasps, what with the Chicago Tribune filing for Chapter 11, and changing its format, well, some of it, for the second time since the end of September. Then, I see that the Detroit papers are going to three- a week hard copy editions. The rest will be on the internet. I sure will miss putting my hands on good old newsprint, drinking that cup of coffee, and listening to my tunes. The Day is Coming, and coming too soon for me.
3. BURRIS/BLAGOJEVICH-- Sad to see the US Senate giving a seat to Burris. Being appointed by a person so-tainted as Blagojevich makes you wonder about his intentions. Good to see the impeachment was so conclusive. Now for the trial and let's hope it doesn't go along party lines like it did with Clinton.
4. BIG OIL...AGAIN, THANKS GUYS-- Like they haven't made enough off us in the last several years. We finally start getting some relief from their greed, and now they are gleefully causing the price to go back up EVEN though the price of a barrel is still dropping. Now, mind you, I don't have any problems with the $2 price of gas and think that is fair, just don't use that the price of a gallon of gas goes up as the price of a barrel goes up bit on us.
Plus, they make money when it goes up or down thanks to their up like a rocket/down like a feather bit.
5. GEORGE GETS REPRIEVE-- George, the 140 year old, 20 pound lobster, is free to slink along the ocean bottoms again. (The age is guesstimated by his weight.) The City Crab and Seafood Restaurant in NYC gave him his crawling/scooting papers, and released him near Kennebunkport, Maine, where no lobster trapping is allowed. PETA is happy...and so is George.
6. I-TUNES-- I don't use it, but like the idea where they will no longer charge just 99 cents per music download. Now, it is just 69 cents for oldies, and 99 cents or $1.29 for the others. Hey, when I was buying 45s way back when, they cost 99 cents. WHAT, something has gotten cheaper. Now, if I just knew how to download or had one of those IPODs.
7. GOOD SAMARITAN-- You'd better think twice before doing someone a good deed in California.A woman is suing a good samaritan for pulling her out of a wrecked car and causing damage that left her paralyzed. While I'm sorry to hear of her injury, the guy was just trying to do the right thing. Let the insurance handle it.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
