It's the Rap Music coming from the Trunks
of the lil Black Cars driving past your place,
especially late at night has driven you nutz.

 

Have you noticed the change in life. Decades ago stuff passed in front of the Camera.
You watched it mostly in silence but occasionally a band would play, a group would march,
a Cowboy on a Horse or a football team would exercise, the Cheer leader's would lead a cheer
and the crowd would wave their hats, light cigarette lighters and do the wave.

Now its talk, talk, talk, & a hot Blond will interview a fat old coach.
You never see a half time show except for the $10 million Half at the Super Bowl.
The pain, oh the pain.

So you change the channel and its one vocal meme after another.
Chuck Norris kills off the citizens of Blowout, Ma.
Something like that!

 

The guy called today. Says if we prepay the gratuities we can cruse most all winter for almost nothing.
So I said what are the prepaid tip / gratuities charge. $34,000 he said your room is empty. How can
we enjoy a winter vacation aboard ship in our MT Room. He just laughed and said it takes some
time to get your sea legs. The North Atlantic can be quite rough. We don't want you falling and hitting
your head on some furniture. I said thanks for the thoughtful gesture. Sure you know your going to
make close to 10 trips around the world this winter. Around the World means something else to me.

 

 

Bitch slapping aJoker can work! ......... .....

 

 

Why does the day begin at 12 midnight? What's so great about being up at Midnight?
Since the Sunup changes every morning and sundown changes every evening why would one not count the day at sunup? Do you x the day every morning or evening?
Have you noticed Holidays don't usually fall on the 1st or the 15th.

 

 

 

 

Back when I was in college (about 1974) I was working the the university's computing center. One day a lively discussion took place concerning 12:00 and was noon or midnight 12 AM or PM. The director of the facility was a young professor, just a few years older than most of the students and happened into the room during the discussion. When someone asked, "what do you think?" the director replied, "let's find out", picked up the phone and called the National Bureau of Standards.

We were all somewhat stunned to hear the reply. "Midnight is 12 followed by a capital 'M', and noon is 12 followed by a lower case 'm'. Midnight is 12 Meridian and noon is 12 midday".

I don't know when the 12:00 AM/PM designations became the official signatures of midnight and noon, but the insanity around it isn't much better today than it was back then!

 

Those that live in Ice Storms Country know the meaning.
