    What Are You Reading

    Just finished “Eastern Approaches” by Fitzroy Maclean. It is his autobiography of the years 1935-1945. If you are not familiar with the name (I wasn’t), he is worth a quick Google search. What a life! What deeds of daring in WWII. This book was a bestseller in 1949. In short, the book...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    This is from an old junior high newsletter of the mother of a friend of mine. It is from the year 1942. See the article titled “Attention Boys”. It asks for the youngsters to donate the model aircraft they are building to the Air Raid Wardens so that they can be used in demonstrations. It...

    Wish you all a good years end!! :-))

    Yes! Happy New Years to my virtual friends at the Fedora Lounge. Or, as my wife calls you, “my imaginary friends”. She’s joking. Sort of. I’ve been a lounger for years and appreciate the intelligent and civil nature of the place. Also that I can indulge my interest in off-beat topics here...

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

    Of all the scary stuff that F.L.A.S.K. Has looked into, this is the scariest by far. Just as psychologists have developed standardized tests to measure how intelligent a person is, a test has now been developed to pin down a person’s inherent propensity for anti-social behavior. Call it the...

    Hmmm. Space Force denies FOIA request for docs that reference “fast walkers” and “slow walkers”. Too secret to be released. https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/space-force-says-documents-on-fastwalkers-and-slowwalkers-all-exempt-from-disclosure/

    Social Media for those of a certain age?

    The end is nigh. Although it is easy to blame young men and say that they are all losers, I suspect that (as usual) the truth is more complicated and there is plenty of blame to go around. I must also admit that, if I was again an “un-dateable” man in my twenties (full Time fast food job, full...

    I don't understand it??? Is this "Temu" Outfit being run by (gasp) Aliens?

    Yes, definitely some odd things popping up. I have a strict policy of never clicking on the ads. I don’t want to encourage the algorithms. :)

    What Are You Reading

    That was one of my first dives into real reading. I think I was in high school. How I loved that book. (It started me on a short-lived King Arthur phase which then morphed into an interest in medieval history, which then led me to…). I think I still have my original copy of Once and Future...

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

    Just in time for Christmas! More weird stuff (that’s true.) Okay, the Placebo Effect is strange enough. Materialists do not like the fact that placebos can sometimes alleviate certain real, physical ailments if only the placebo takers BELIEVE that they will work. That’s kind of trippy. But...

    To beard or not to beard?

    Great beard! I too have the patchy thing. First few months look like hell. But it eventually fills in. A stranger once advised me to shave my beard because “it will make you look ten years younger.” I don’t want to look younger. I’m going for the wise man, wizard/Gandalf, prophet, Greek god...

    To beard or not to beard?

    i Always say “don’t touch the beard.” I am at that age where I let them trim my crazy old man eyebrows.

    They say that people who are naturally gifted with ESP, clairvoyance, etc, do not win in Vegas. They just lose more slowly.

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

    Yes, scientists are beginning to admit that there is something worth investigating regarding claims of psychic ability, particularly Extrasensory Perception (ESP). The Ganzfeld Experiment: First you put the ”recipient” in a sensory deprivation setting. Then you have the “sender” in another...
