Random thoughts

I was on the air in radio for a long time. I remember getting a story across the wire about a couple in Seattle who were fond of S&M. She learned he had been stepping out. One evening she invited him upstairs for fun and games. She tied him down the bed, spread-eagle & buck naked. She inserted a curling iron up his ass, plugged it in, and left. His screams were so loud the neighbors broke down the door to his house, which his wife had thoughtfully locked on her way out. He went to the ER & she went to jail.

I sit outside, have a beer and ponder about a million things.

Some that have come to mind recently. Add yours.

My daughter just finished her first semester of college. She and her younger brother never had a baby-sitter... ever. They were in daycare until kindergarten but as a work from home dad, we never needed an actual baby-sitter for evenings or after they started kindergarten.

It's hard to un-love someone. I've never been divorced and currently 22 years into my marriage but looking back at friends, past girlfriends, family... I can't think of a single person that I loved and don't love to this date.

I would love to have what's in Jay Leno's garage.

Panels on cars should come with easier access. It sucks prying one and hoping the clips don't break.

I think of being in sixth grade which was the first time that I heard that Einstein proved that nothing could travel faster than light as my teacher explained. I was a believer for about ten seconds when I figured out that to say this logically Einstein would need to know everything that existed or could exist in the universe, thus he was wrong as quantum physics has now proved

The concept never made rational sense to me as all velocity is measured relative to a unique point in the universe where nothing is actually stationary.

For example, I am traveling west at 70 MPH down the interstate. My speed is relative to the road and the radar gun of the officer parked on the other side of the hill. What is my speed relative to a point north, or to Mars?

We are all moving in multiple planes, if the universe is as described, which can't be proved either logically or mathematically. You are spinning at 1000mph on the Earth, the Sun is moving the Earth at 483,000mph through the galaxy and the galaxy is moving at 1,300,000mph through the universe. Or it is all an illusion
 
None of your reported speeds are relevant as none are measured from a fixed point.
BTW. I am not at the equator, so I am spinning at less that 1000 MPH.

This is to what I was referring when Einstein mention the speed of light was a maximum in the Universe. So, two beams of light traveling in parallel tracks are actually at zero velocity relevant to each other.
One ponders, can they see each other.

To see requires life and consciousness so you are currently pondering, is light alive and conscious

Why are you thinking this?

The COVID is disgusting and people are stinkin' dirty.

Digital Age sucks and I hope there are people who agree.

I still watch free to air tv.

The wind is blowing loudly outside and the sun is shining and it is a beautiful day.

Mistakes or bad turns are not your fault but God's fault because God can stop you going the wrong way if you cannot make a better decision and it is not up to you to make all wise decisions.

Rich people should not buy as many designer clothes and give more money to the poor.

Designer clothes are too expensive and who in their right mind would spend that much money on clothes that comes from animals.

Animal testing is revolting and it is like they put it on the animal, wrap it in plastic and sell it.

Who would go to Sea world to see orcas or see elephants at the circus.

I will never buy fast fashion again.

WW1 and WW2 veterans fought so hard for our freedom in Australia and we wreck this country, so beautiful but do not take care of the planet, litter everywhere.

It takes about $10 to give someone in need a meal.

Why buy a coffee each day when you can pack a themos?

There needs to be smaller hospitals here that are more personal.

Women's health clinics are a great idea.

We have to cleanest water here and people drink so much soft drink.

There needs to be a place where you can have ice cream sodas and sundaes.

Beauty salons should be a comfortable and luxurious experience.

Ethical should not be so expensive.

I like reading books and there's nothing wrong with it

It is good for women to show how smart they are.

Not all women have insecurities particularly too surrounding physical appearance but in general.

If you are sick someone should make your bed for you.
Really if your partner could do all the housework all the time, that would be good.

Iceland sounds like a good place.
As does lying on the beach in Maldives.

If anyone says doing a severe illness alone is easy and understanding it all, they should do it and experience the pain and hardship of it.

I am in paradise each day I stay home.

Wadding pools are good fun for kids.

I cannot wait until Halloween.
Eating a lot of candy or Lollies is not wrong.

Eat dessert each day.

China must be a horrible place, same as Malaysia and North Korea.

Kids microphones sure are fun.
I want cupcakes but am too lazy to make them, wish someone else would make them without only a bit of icing..no buttercream, the icing should be the best bit and it should be just a little bit not piled high.

The day they got rid of kids rose wine and the cupcakes with the edible stickers was the day the world turned sour.

If I could I would never move again and just lay here for a long time and someone else would make the cupcakes.

I am a good person and I deserve the best and if I do not get it...watch out.

People suck.
 
"There is no example of a nation benefiting from perpetual warfare."
Santu

Our nation has been at war with somebody since Viet Nam. No one heeded President Eisenhower's advice about the military industrial complex. Our government has persistently pursued a path of peacekeeping warfare. To what end? War is war.

Let us stop making war, to extend "Democracy" to nations who don't want it, at cost of our youth and future.

We have in Donald J Trump, a president who proved we did not need to be at war to lead the free world. And be a nation of greatness.

So, when we go to the polls in a few weeks, think about it.

Why is this my life?
Hope someone else gets my life and does it better, they will think they can and who knows some people's brain's may manoeuver challenges better but really..this sick????
People will always boast about how well they do things and then stuff up more.
But really seems improbable right now.
 
Why don't new cars have a cell phone holder built into the dash? We have to buy a holder that clips into (and blocks) an air vent or something for the dash (never stays in place) or on the windshield (that blocks your view).

Some new cars will put your phone thru the radio. And if you set it up it is handsfree.
So, whilst discussing this with my wife in our study, she remarked that she can just say "Siri, call franc" and it will dial me thru the car's system.

The phone, sitting in her lap called me.

Yes, the damn things hear every word!

I think the advent of Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto being incorporated into the infotainment system render the question moot.

Pretty much all new cars, from bottom of the price range to top have some sort of variation of that feature.
 
I agree with both of you about the "phone" being played via bluetooth. Most of my vehicles have that.
Maybe I don't know how but if I want to use Waze or similar, I couldn't project it from the phone to the screens in the vehicle. I then have to pull out my phone sitting in the cup holder which is a distraction.
 
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.
I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and 77 years old, I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I always wonder why I went there. I try not to visit there too often.

Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.

One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense!
It really gets the adrenaline flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not.

People keep telling me I'm in Denial but I'm positive I've never been there before!

I have been in Deepshit many times; the older I get, the easier it seems to get there.

Apple Carplay allows you to put anything from your phone on the car display. Waze, Youtube, Hulu TV etc etc.
As I understand it (I don't have carplay yet) you can use the car display to do anything you would normally do from the screen of the phone.
I planned to upgrade my 2018 truck but found out it would cost me about $1800 from our local audio shop. I would love to have apple car play but for $1800 I will use the window mounted phone holder for a while longer.
There are add on dash mount car play units for under $200. I simply don't want to go that route at this point.
 
My family and I know my dad is not going to be around any longer, he is in the last stages of Alzheimer's. He is 80 years old turning 81 in 2 weeks. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's 3 years ago. Good thing is both of my parents have a living trust so my 5 brothers and I do not fight over everything when they go. Mom is in good health at 77 years old getting around well. She has said their condo they have will go up for sale after dad goes. She has found an apartment living place that she likes already which is a wise decision. That condo is not going to be easy to take care of when he is gone on her own
