Now this is a worthwhile Selfie!

Brothers Michael and Neil Fletcher were about an hour into their hunting trip in Dowling, Canada, when they saw a bald eagle stuck in a trap.

"It needed help so we just jumped in," Michael Fletcher, 29, told ABC News, saying he had never seen a bald eagle so close before. "It was crazy."

So they took a Selfie and set The Eagle free...

Now that is a wortwhile Selfie...!

About that whole ride to Boston thing...?

I'm fine & dandy Dad.

No problemo.

If The Pea did not have a Blog no one would have known

that I was stranded on a highway!

I made it back just fine 11hours later.

And The Trooper that hung around asked me for my number!

(I made that last sentence up)

The night after the night after Thanksgiving night...and It is so quiet...

No one is here...

it is eerie & also a little deafening.

So quiet.

After 4 nights of cousins

Football

Turkey, chaos, Fire works,

Police activity, a near arrest...

a hide the evidence moment

a Fireside chat

An engagement celebration,

followed by a Bar fight with

the Russian Mob...!

As the nutty Uncle in the basement, 

I welcome the quiet.

And I trust everyone made it home OK...

Oh Man!

Late breaking News!

And now we find out that Anna 

has 2 flat tires

and 2 broken rims in

someplace called Purdy, NY

On her drive back to Boston!

I checked. And this is the only Photo

I have of Anna riding in a vehicle.

Uh oh! I found this about Purdys Town!

Purdy's best friend John Ueker did not attend Mr Purdys

funeral. Actually, no one attended 

Mr Purdys Funeral.

But we @ Culture News & Views

are pretty darn sure that Mr Purdy is dead.

We did reach out to Mr Ueker for a comment

but have not, as yet, heard from Mr Ueker.

And it has been 6 years since we 

reached out for a comment.

oh well

Alyce's Restaurant...you may want to lower the volume here... and just read my story

For many many years I have always thought of this song on Thanksgiving Day.

If I don't play it out loud (on the radio), I sing it in my head on the last Thursday in November. Can you name another song that has a Thanksgiving theme? Without a gobble-gobble in it?

I believe the song came out in 1967. I was in the Army at the time and guys would play it constantly. Everywhere I went the song was played. Ahemmm, the song makes fun of guys
that were in the Army at the time.

So when I left the Army & found myself in Sea Isle City in the summer of 1970 living with a Rock & Roll Band, and a 14 year old little brother that sorta was cool, I took the little bro to a shore house party. I said, Eddie, just play that Arlo Guthrie thing & let me do the rest. I knew all the words, the
14 year old knew all the chords and we mesmorized the Crowd. Actually, I think they were all
under the weather (stoned) or tired (drunk) cause we heard nothing from the attendees. So me and my bro slipped silently into the night.

I  took Eddie in my Impala to a custard stand for a van/choc swirl on a sugar cone...a sugar cone!

Reason I bring this up is 'cause I just saw Arlo Guthrie on a PBS fund raiser on Thanksgiving night.

Is there anything more annoying on TV than a PBS Fundraiser? and an old guy? still making money off of a song he wrote nearly 50 years ago & still spewing Liberal Crap?!?

Oh Boy! Not one good photo in the bunch...

Who is missing from this photo?

I took this shot & some people were not looking into the camera.

now with Meghan!

and Meghan's siblings.

Not a single one of my Thanksgiving Day Photos

passed muster today.

so who was missing from the 1st photo?

I think they look Swell!

A very Fun visit.

The problem was that we had overflowing 

sauce bowls!

How to transport them to the table

without spillage?

Amanda pondered the problem...

Justin was sniffing if his underarm deodorant was working.

Luke & Ronan debated the Logistics...

But it was Poppy that came up with

The Solution!

Use one of Uncle John's trays

for transport!!!

And it worked...no spillage...

and we all enjoyed a wonderful visit

and a wonderful spaghetti dinner!

Thank you Uncle John 

for getting the Sauce to the Table!

There will be no oven problems this Turkey Day on Blossom Hill!

Please ignore the Babes & focus on the white elephant

in the right side of the Photo.

Kate, talking to her Mom....

"Mom...that oven has to go or we are not 

coming back for Thanksgiving.

I will not put my kids at risk"!

So this year Poppy & Nanny got a New 

Turkey Cooker!

A chrome looking thing

My Dad hooked it up, says Nora. 

and I helped!

Today is November 22, 2015 and I have seen nothing on TV or the computer about the death of JFK. So I offer this tid bit...

He was born in 1917. 

He died in 1963, It was a Friday afternoon on the East Coast.

And the World Stood Still...also

Just want to mention that JFK is the only President I have ever seen in person.

He was not actually the President at the time. He was a candidate in a motorcade on

Roosevelt Blvd...

Has anyone ever been in the presence of a US President?

what a mess...

New low: Eagles embarrassed by Bucs

and 3 of my Grandkids were so psyched up before the game! Bummer...

but all was not lost...

The 3 of them got to see leaves falling

and green grass. 

there are no Falling leaves or green grass in california...

And they got to visit with cousin Brynn...!

Brynn...who is now walking about & so cool about it!

 Brynn sorta has a swagger when she walks.

Things I see, I read & I shake my head at...

"At least two suspects linked to last week's Paris terror attacks died and eight others were taken into custody early Wednesday morning during a police raid on two apartments in the suburb of Saint-Denis." says the British Daily Mail

"To get through a reinforced door, the police had to set explosives, giving the people inside time to prepare. A furious firefight ensued, with the police unleashing 5,000 rounds over the next hour and employing snipers and grenades. A female suicide bomber exploded her vest, collapsing the floor." said the New York Times.

GERALDPEA asks: Police unleashed 5,000 rounds of bullets & it ended up with 2 people dead & 8 people taken into custody? And 1 of the dead  was a woman that set off her suicide vest?
So that would mean that that the Police fired 5,000 rounds of bullets & missed 4,999 times?
Yikes! ALSO...

"French Police Unsure Of Attack Mastermind's Status After Deadly Raid" Washington Post Headline...

The Headline calls this guy a Mastermind.

Does he look like a Mastermind to you?

He was a Tool of the Mastermind!

And if the Police really missed 4,999 times

maybe they need more Gear!

Oh yea, one other thing...the only French Law Enforcement

Official to die in the operation was

Diesel

A full investigation of the operation will

probably reveal that Diesel was killed by

Friendly Fire!

Yes Folks, Geraldpea is now available on the Jitterbug Network!

Call me and I will give you my number.

The pea is also available for texting (please allow @ least 21 minutes for a text response)

and Photo Sharing!

There's a whole New World out there!

Jitterbugging!

White guys trying to talk Smack can be so embarrasing to white guys...

"Our goal was to come in here and make the 'Red Rifle' look like a Red Ryder BB gun, and I think we did that," the Houston Texans star defensive end JJ Watt said. 

and the Red Rifles response?

"There's a lot of kids and a lot of people who look up to him," Dalton said in his postgame news conference. "For him to make comments like that, he's showing that's acceptable to do that kind of stuff, to say that kind of stuff. It's disappointing for one of the best players in this league to come out and say something like that. That's all I'm going to say about that. I think J.J. is a good player, but for him to be one of the best in this league and to show that integrity, and to show that type of ... it shows what he's about, which is disappointing."

Oh yea, the Texans won the game...

and I think I'm one of two people that read

the quotes & thought wtf?

Remember when we 1st Posted her and her Dad?

A Revisit...

Ronda Rousey sorta predicted on The Tonight Show that Holly Holm was gonna kick her ass !

Ronda got laid out last night by Holly Holm!

Nasty stuff goin' on there in Australia...

Holly Holm.

a not so delicate Female...

but she does look somewhat innocent,

looks like she is sorta saying...

"I don't know what came over me! Other 

than the Fact that I read recently that Ronda was backing Bernie Sanders"

and then the fact I have been the World Boxing Champion for 

two years in a row why would anyone be surprised?

Ronda was a Judo Champ. Like who doesn't know 

that a Boxer beats a judo-er

Holly went on to say, "I'm not certain who I'm

backing in the Presidential Race, I just know

it will not be Bernie or Hillary"

and if I knew how to use that link thing on top of the screen...@#$!!

An almost 20 minute video of a Clueless Europe being invaded without the invaders needing weapons, soldiers, a Navy, or Bombers...well, maybe they need some bombers...

disturbing video... It may upset you...

I pretty much know where each State is in the USA. I pretty much do not know where each Country is in Europe...

I think a big problem in Europe is that all those countries speak a different language.

No wonder most Europeans are multilingual.

It's sorta like a guy from Jersey talking to a guy from

Alabama. They may not understand each other...

but they get the gist.

Unfortunatly, there are not many sane people that understand Farsi

I think everyone knows that a Saturday night has the fewest TV viewers of any night of the week.

So why would the Democrats schedule 
a Presidential Primary debate on CBS
@ 9PM on a Saturday night?

Think maybe they are trying to Hide something...hum?

Why not put Bernie, Hillary & Marty in Prime Time

on a Thursday night?

The spin that will come...the Democrat debate had more 

viewers than any of the Republican Debates! Ergo,

more people like the Democrat candidates than those evil Republicans

that are waging a War on Women & are vs Income Equality!

Of course, the Republican debates were on cable. One has to

Pay to watch cable.

The Demoncrat debate is on CBS...

Free TV!

“Socialists ignore the side of man that is the spirit. They can provide you shelter, fill your belly with bacon and beans, treat you when you're ill, all the things guaranteed to a prisoner or a slave. They don't understand that we also dream.” ― Ronald Reagan

can your shadow do this?

Our big Sis showed up today & treated us 2 Vets to a Lunch

Alyce brought along Jackson, a very affable kid

that would really like to have a Dog!

jackson is the little guy on the left...

big brother in the red shirt, 

no clue who the guy in white is.

We went to the Airport Diner (it's near the airport)

And when I suggested the Diner, TJ of course had a story.

Apparently a  plumber where Maureen runs the place

told Maureen that he has been going into commercial restaurants 

for near 30 years & he has never seen a cleaner kitchen than

he saw at the Airport Diner!

Anyway, it was a really good lunch

and a really good visit.

And Jackson really needs a puppy!

and Alyce is a really cool big sis...

Eve of Destruction (with lyrics) - Barry McGuire

Our Secretary of State has said that 

Climate Change is the biggest threat to man.

President Barak Obama said...

(CNN)What President Barack Obama described as the greatest threat to future generations was neither terrorism nor ISIS. It wasn't nuclear weapons in rogue states either. 

"No challenge  poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change," said Obama in his State of the Union speech Tuesday. Jan 20, 2015.

Paris is hosting a World Climate Change Conference at the end of November.
Al Gore is scheduled to do a Jerry Lewis type telethon near the Eiffel Tower.
So their Security apparatus has been on High Alert for awhile.

                                           (Jerry Lewis is a favored son in France)

and tonight we have a bunch of people dead in Paris.

If all these people in Paris tonight died from bullets

from Radical JV Nut jobs

I shudder to think how much death, destruction & devastation

Climate Change will bring...
