Here’s How To Speak “Engineer”
SpaceX had another spacecraft recovery with their “claw”. While the catch of the heavy booster section was successful, the upper section created quite the light show in the sky when it exploded during re-entry:
Or as SpaceX called it, the event was a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”.
I love it!
State Of Mind
I feel I should be writing something informative, something interesting, something most every other blog website in the nation is writing about.
I’m tired of commenting on the “news”: Same old thing, day after day – the script doesn’t change, just the topic of the day.
Or politics: I’m tired of reading about Joe and Friend’s antics. They’re despicable, corrupt beyond anyone’s willingness to believe – and it’s not going to change and nothing’s going to be done about it.
Or “climate change”. Whoo-boy, I could fill pages on that topic. Was once my profession. So I don’t speak much of it. Other than I’m of the 3%.
Or “conspiracy theories”: A conspiracy theory seems to be the truth let loose 6 months before it’s supposed to be.
Entertainment is subjective. What entertains me may not – probably wouldn’t – entertain you.
I do have a couple of things I’m working on for later posting … but I just can’t come up with sparkling wit every day … yet here I sit, holding this digital door open for friends to talk with each other – and I enjoy doing so.
So pictures it is – for the most part; when I don’t have words. Photos to inspire or amuse or just fill space. Or maybe suggest a topic for the day’s discussions – just like the last two years of Gerard/Neo’s site.
Bless both their souls.
Besides, I have >lots< of photos that I can post … more than I have words.

Tunes For Tuesday – Arthur Brown “Fire”
I want to try this out as a regular “feature”. I have a very weird span in taste of music; thought I’d share some tunes I enjoy on Tuesdays.
Why Tuesday? “Tunes For Monday” just doesn’t have the same ring.

My first selection was picked for its timely appropriateness.
Not that I have any sympathy for LA – but there’s a lot of people there that don’t deserve this
… mixed in with way too many of those that voted for it, profited from their vote, and deserve every bit of it.
And I was lying in the grass
By a river
And as I lay, the grass turned to sand
And the river turned to a sea
And suddenly the sea burst into flames
And the sand was burning
And I breathed in
And there was smoke in my lungs
And there was fire in my brain!
And I looked around me
And there were all these shapes being sucked into the flames
And they were rising and trying to escape
And I knew that I had to get out
And I looked above me and I saw a shape
That was smiling down at me and beckoning, saying
“Come on home!”
And I raised myself and I tried to get outta the flames
And I was getting higher and higher and higher and higher
And I reached out towards the shape
And as I reached out the shape shed
And my hands were empty!
And I was falling!
I was falling
Falling
Falling
I was falling into the flames
And I knew that I was gonna burn!
I was gonna burn!
Oh it’s so hot in here!
Let me out! please!
You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it’s going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you’ve really been so blind
Now’s your time, burn your mind
You’re falling far, too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
You’re gonna burn
Fire, to destroy all you’ve done
Fire, to end all you’ve become
I’ll feel you burn
You’ve been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you’ve really been so blind
Now’s your time, burn your mind
You’re falling far, too far behind
Fire, I’ll take you to burn
Fire, I’ll take you to learn
You’re gonna burn
You’re gonna burn
You’re gonna burn, burn, burn, burn,
burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, bu
As A Side Note …
Not only have I been working on this site, I’ve been dealing with other issues on a couple of other systems (^%$#%& Windows) plus arguing with an important site I’ve used for 6 years that recently decided to “improve” their product.
I just saw it; some of you may have as well. I sent this to them – they’re code bunnies so probably won’t get the point – but I didn’t care to resist putting up here as well.

Out In The Great Basin
They spook easy though – then nothing left but a cloud of dust hanging in the air.
Escape!
