    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Those of us who are native English speakers are blessed, indeed, insofar as English has become the lingua Franca of the world and —for the most part— we can travel to most big cities without having to learn the local language. It certainly makes travel easier. My daughter just accepted a job...

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

    Well. This is just freakin’ weird. Probably a natural cloud formation, but still very crazy! At that distance, if it was a “being”, it would have to be about 200 feet tall! The footage comes From China.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    ^^^^ My super power is that I always get in line behind that person. Or the one who has a coupon, but can’t find it. Or the person who has brought in a plastic bag of loose change to pay with. Or the one who has specially chosen items without price codes. The list goes on and on. But rest...

    Favorite/worst job?

    That’s horrifying. R.I.P., poor thing. And it reinforces the stereotype of the soulless, anonymous cubicle. Having spent some of the early years of my career in a cubicle, this Story made a shiver run down my spine.

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

    More strange stuff that also happens to be true. Remember that Nun who was buried in Missouri? After four years they dug her up to rebury her elsewhere, and it was found that her body had not decayed in the normal manner? Well, here is the update. Scientist studied the body and found that it...

    You know you are getting old when:

    Many are called, few are chosen. Should we feel pity for all those who are called to be great artists, yet get exactly nowhere? Or is that just one of the normal roads to becoming a grownup? its Almost inevitable to a degree, given the “you can be whatever you want to be” mantra that our...

    I had never heard of the Collin’s Elite prior to the Luis Elisondo video. A quick google search came up with almost nothing: a shadowy rumored group of religious hardliners that believe UFOs are demonic and that by investigating UFOs, you are only empowering the demons. Pretty fringe stuff...

    ^^^^ Thanks for this. Yes, Christopher Mellon is just one of several characters with years of high level, insider intelligence/military experience who claim that something is going on. Yet, usually, their info is second hand or they say “I’d tell you more, but I’d go to jail for violating the...

    Nothing is ever taken too seriously. We are having fun speculating about the “what ifs“ of the universe. It would be hard to find a fatter, more juicy topic …And there are plenty of stories in the Press to add to the mystery and mayhem. Best of all, the “facts” range from highly credible (10)...

    I’m right there with you guys. The challenges to traditional materialism seem to be piling up. It used to be that scientists believed that the only things that existed were space and time and matter. Now other possibilities are being seriously raised. Is spacetime fundamental? Is there...

    Even stranger, some of these craft were found fully intact. As if they had landed and then been abandoned. Of Course, all of this is hearsay.

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    Another Hemingway anniversary! on this day (August 25th) Hemingway led a ragtag group of resistance fighters into Paris, where he “liberated” the bar at the Ritz Hotel. https://www.sfgate.com/travel/article/Liberating-France-Hemingway-s-way-Following-2731590.php I think most teenaged boys come...

    Huckleberry

    Hemingway claimed that American literature began with Huckleberry Finn. Twain brilliantly flipped the public morals of the period of which he was writing… and he did it without saying so in so many words. My favorite part was when Huck and Jim were drifting down the Mississippi on a raft. The...

    Huckleberry

    Ah, yes. An American classic. Huckleberry Hound by Mark Twain.

    If you have about 45 minutes, sit back in your most comfortable chair and enjoy. This interview will catch you up on the latest developments in the UAP saga, and will drop a few new buzzwords and data points along the way. It is —all in one go— very interesting, very credible, very...

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

    The Shroud of Turin is back in the news. Who doesn’t love the Shroud? Who doesn’t want it to be authentic? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/jesus-shroud-of-turin-b2600646.html In short, scientific techniques have improved over the decades. Remember that study from the...

    Happy Liberation of Paris Anniversary

    Happy liberation of Paris days! August 19th thru the 25th. In short the allies initially wanted to go around Paris. But on the 19th a “popular uprising” against the Nazis broke out. De Gaul demanded that the allies let him take an armored column into the city, lest Paris be liberated by the...

    Great article. Again, if there is nothing to it, why is there such a fight over this legislation? And why is the Senate Majoriy Leader expending so much political capital on an issue that could easily be used to paint him as a nut...

    Social Media for those of a certain age?

    Okay, practical matters: When I open my browser, The Fedora Lounge does not automatically pop up among my “favorites”, despite the fact that I visit here frequently. Why is that? Sites that I visit far less frequently are annoyingly imbedded in my favorites list. (I’m not talking about the...
