Entertainment overnight

One of the best "Star Wars" scenes ever. Right from the opening scene of the first film of the entire series, they had us. What a time that was.

I love things like this

This cracked me up. I love how the kid took the challenge from his father (that he'd pay him $100 if he--the son--did one backflip a day for a year) and then had fun with it, right down to making this video. As it happens, I like the music he set it to, also. (I wouldn't buy it--I don't need or want the music--but I've always enjoyed it). Now he and his father can always have this video as a reminder, too. I assume his father wanted to make sure he got exercise, who knows? Enjoy your weekend, y'all.

Glee-based flash mob dance at The Legends Saturday

It was brief and it was even hot but a good time was had by all. Thanks to all those who put this on for us viewers.

If you thought that last "flash mob" was fun...


I think this one was even better.

Again, let's organize and coordinate some flash mobs like this on the Plaza for Saturday night entertainment with people from all over the city. We could do them in Mill Creek Park.

Anybody game?

Hey!

It's a new day. It's the weekend. Yay! (trying not to be shallow).

And I missed a post. Yesterday was busy.

So, great news! I've been trying to put something more positive out here--something not so heavily political and yesterday I found it. Eureka!

Did you see where a "huge" solar plant--according to the AP article I saw--is planned out in Arizona? I tell you, that's good news. We, as people in the United States separately, but also everyone else on the planet, too, need to see and understand that solar power is a way to get us out of all the biggest messes on this little planet. I mean this.

If we do more solar, even this way, with big solar power plants, but particularly if we developed more, better and cheaper photo-voltaic cells (so we could put them on our houses and office buildings) then 1) we wouldn't have to stay in the Middle East, where all the ignorant, centuries-old religious battles are still going on and 2) we would have FAR less pollution. And aren't those our largest problems on the planet? It seems as though they are. A third benefit would be the reduced likelihood of contributing to carbon dioxide output. (Did you notice I avoided saying "global warming"?).

Anyway, I see this as very welcome news, especially now, at the end of winter, when we're so cold-weather/gray skies intolerant. We need some encouragement.

Can you imagine NOT needing an electric company's power plant/pollution/bill in the mail? Wouldn't that be nice? No need for radioactive waste, either from using nukular power (thanks, Mr. President). That would be possible if we create those cheaper, more available photo-voltaic cells. It would help the US's security in so many ways, if we create them, rather than letting the Japanese or Chinese get on this first.

But first we have to get this knuclehead out of the White House.

Oh,well.

More fun for us today:

Check out these websites.

The first on the hypocrisy of Senator John McCain:

The second, a terrific, tongue firmly planted in cheek riff on the "Christian gene":

(and thanks, Bob, for this one).

The next one is WAY overdue. It's a clarification for 94.3% of Americans (you know how geographically-challenged we are, right?):

(Thanks, Michael!)

And finally, if you missed Dilbert today, you should go see it. It's a hoot and shouldn't be missed.

Yeah, great stuff for the weekend! Get out there and have a good time!
