    "Man's Carelessness in Dress"

    Here in Hawaii, if a man wears long trousers and an Aloha shirt, that is considered to be dressing up. Thats what I usually wear. Most guys normally wear shorts, tshirts, and baseball caps. I am quite pleased with our church, which is thriving. And only half the congregation are senior...

    You know you are getting old when:

    I’m always astounded to see how YOUNG people look. “Really, you are the pilot of this aircraft? You look like you are about 18 years old.” Of course, I knew I was in trouble when I had professionals working on my staff who were born after 2000. (All the while, remembering that my generation...

    "Man's Carelessness in Dress"

    The first paragraph of that article is certainly as true today as it was in 1913. My wife and I often comment on couples we see in public: She is often well put-together and fashionable; he often looks as if he is still 12 years old and coming straight from the playground.

    You know you are getting old when:

    Better to be 20 in the 70s than 70 in the 20s.

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Amen, brother. AND the plane was prominently featured in Tales of the Gold Monkey! (I still can’t believe I’m living in a world without Jimmy Buffett.)

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Interesting bit of WWII aviation news…

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My wife buys tons of crap on Amazon. Primarily because it is so damned easy to do… and then it’s delivered right to your door. Could not be easier. There ought to be a law. :)

    Steven Spielberg to release new UFO movie in 2026

    That unrelated Frank Sinatra project mentioned in the Variety article also sounds interesting. Don’t know about DiCaprio playing old blue eyes, but I suppose I could be convinced. Don’t know why Spielberg is so interested in flying saucers, but a lot of people are, myself included. Mostly, I...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I sympathize. I also prefer cash transactions and I usually carry an assortment of coins so that I can pay to the penny (thus avoiding receiving piles of change at the end of most transactions). So far I have not been rejected for wanting to pay cash… but I have received heartfelt sighs and...

    What Are You Reading

    Great review, FF. I’m one of those guys who can’t sit through a baseball game on TV. However, when we lived in DC, we used to regularly Go to live baseball games in Baltimore. I loved it… and not so much for the game itself. I loved the “Americana” of it; the feeling of community; everybody...

    Oumuamua

    ^^^^^. Very true. Not a bit of hard evidence is offered. But what is motivating this guy? He is not trying to sell anything. Is he only trying to destroy his impressive career and tarnish his own reputation? What is Karl Nell’s motivation? And, btw, what ever happened to David Grusch, that...

    Oumuamua

    Karl Nell at today’s SALT conference in NY. Key takeaway (go to minute 2:30): non-human intelligence is absolutely real and there are people in the government who know about it. Who is Karl Nell? https://www.salt.org/speakers/karl-nell So… just another talking head? One in a growing list...

    What Are You Reading

    Nobel Prize winning author William Faulkner has been on my “to read” list for a long time. This month I jumped into the deep end and read Absalom, Absalom. (300 pages). It is often mentioned as capturing all his themes and being one of Faulkner’s most important works. it is not a light or...

    This happens just often enough to get this case filed under the heading “extremely weird. There might be something to it, but I don’t know what.” https://www.knoe.com/2024/05/08/union-parish-family-claims-wisconsin-medium-led-them-their-missing-mothers-body/

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    Expert says the killer whales that sank a yacht off of Morocco were just kidding around. Whales do not seek revenge, the expert added. Uh huh. Tell that to the crew of the whaling ship Essex that was sunk by a sperm whale in 1820. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmm330y6d2qo
