YOU’VE HEARD OF THE DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PIC OF JIM–DEVIL  WITH A CHIORBOY’S FACE—I saw the Doors live in the late 60’s…it was fantastic>AND MORRISON so hot.

 

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is.    Jim Morrison

I was glancing at an old (1976–never thought I’d ever say that) and saw a listing on Quasars pretty much stating they were brighter than “A Myrid Suns” (Reader Digest: STRANGE STORIES AMAZING FACTS) but noting that they pretty much didn’t know what the data actually said…so skip to the 21st century and the internet and Weikpedia  which stated that in the 80s a consensus was reached on what they were.  OK first consensus to me pretty much means the biggest kids on the block got together and decide what was right from THEIR INTERPERTATION.  Being the free thinker I am I really don’t feel comfortable with that.  So I’m leaving you to decide just exactly what this really, really big (Its size is 10–10,000 times the Schwarzschild radius of the black hole. —-I’m sorry but they didn’t teach me that in school) and really bright (Their luminosity can be 100 times greater than that of the Milky Way) something was out there and should be defined by someone(s) who could make it so dense the rest of mere mortals would not dispute it.

Some useful stuff for Christmas:

 

Mrs. Kimball’s Candy Shop (http://www.mileskimball.com/view-food-candy) has:

1.  Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Filled Mittens (6.5 oz. for $6.99)

2.  Dark  Chocolate Mint Penguins (6 oz. same price)

3.  Mint Fudge Filled Frogs (6 oz. too)

 

 

One gets the idea this man could never truly be happy about much of anything.

 

 

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.      Edgar Allan Poe

 

 

MORE HINTS FOR CHRISTMAS

Got one of those big boxes or bags of nuts complete with shells (they still make them that way you know –we just never see much of the unfished product anymore) and don’t have a nutcracker (I actually still do but am old enough to remember when they came this way).

Try this:

1.  Wrap a nut in a towel and hit it with rock, hammer or mallet (similar to a hammer)

2.  Squeeze the nut with a wrench, a pair of pliers, or a vice

3.  Put it on the hinge side of a door and then shut the door.

4.  Hold the nut at the top edge of a drawer and slam the drawer shut, but watch out for you finger (ouch)

Always loved this lady—proud Tina keeps on rolling

Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go – purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything… whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.    Tina Turner

Overall, comparing the initial and final outcomes of the guitar throughout history
reveals some interesting facts. The strings, neck, and soundboards all have made
improvements over time, but they haven’t changed much. They have changed in size and
shape and material, but over the long test of time, they have not left the instrument. Not
only that, but the guitar—or its predecessors—have always stayed near the top of the
favorites for musical instruments.   https://courses.physics.illinois..
