Heads up, skywatchers

...and lovers of nature.



This Thursday evening.

Thanks to Donna and her JUST ME blog for the "heads up."

Entertainment overnight

Quite a voice.  And I mean that in two different ways:



Thanks to Donna Allen Wood for introducing me to Floyd Red Crow Westerman

Questions of the day

1)  Where is midtown miscreant?

2)  When will he be back?

3)  WILL he be back?

4)  Is he okay?  (We assume he is. Naturally, we hope he is).

Inquiring minds want to know.



Midtown?

You out there, buddy?

Happy birthday to a local, fellow blogger

A very happy birthday wish to "Just Me" blogger, Donna.

I hope it's a great one for you, filled with family, friends, great food and some terrific memories.

Enjoy.

IT'S NATIONAL DONUT DAY!!!

National Donut Day is Friday, June 1!

Stop by any Dunkin' Donuts in the US for a free donut with Dunkin’ Donuts beverage purchase.

Be sure to share this with friends, too!

(And thanks for the "heads up, Donna!).

I'm concerned

We haven't heard from The Crustybastard or Damnitkage in 4 weeks.

I'm so old...

...I know who George and Gracie were. (w/ nod to Donna for a reference to them).

Jardine's Jazz: the 600 lb. gorilla in the room

As I said earlier, isn't this "cat" really out of the proverbial bag? The owner is, apparently, at least difficult with a history of being tough on her staff, if what is printed locally, on the blogs (http://tipsfortips.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/the-jardines-story/) is true. And face it, we believe it, right? Don't we? The sources seem legitimate and calm and matter-of-fact in their descriptions. So that big "600 lb. gorilla" seems to be, won't you, please, Ms. Owner-of-Jardine's-Jazz-that-Kansas-City-loves-so-much, won't you please sell the place to someone else, make some money, get out of it, leave it alone and let us go back to enjoying this local, cherished institution? Please? As the old saying goes, don't go away mad---just go away. Yet another link: http://www.pitch.com/fatcity/archives/2011/12/06/jardines-drama-the-staff-says-that-owner-beena-was-meana

A Sunday suggestion

With thanks and a tip of the hat to friend-blogger Donna. Enjoy your Sunday, y'all.

I'm a new, but huge, fan

Holy cow (and thanks--many great thanks--to Donna).

Living in the Land of the Wasteland of the Free

With thanks to Donna for bringing this to my attention this week.

We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines
and their speech is growing increasingly unkind
They say they are Christ's disciples
but they don't look like Jesus to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got politicians running races on corporate cash
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass
You may call me old-fashioned
but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay
but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job
to some third-world country 'cross the sea
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars
So what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors
and we call ourselves the advanced civilization
that sounds like crap to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free




How do you not hear this and think of us?




Try to have a nice weekend, y'all.
