It is eight years later & I am still paying an insurance penalty for "the accident"!

Yes, I was the driver of the SUV that drove over the lenghth of the guitar case.

"The accident" happened at the Bent Elbow, long after midnight...

the parking lot was dark. The guitar case was laying untended...

The Far Side

 Have you ever used a coathanger to gain access to your vehicle?

I have, I was so proud of myself for being such a clever idiot!

More than once I used my coathanger to help other idiots!

Only song I know that mentions Thanksgiving...

The Mature Arlo

Old men like to tell stories...

 

That's me soaring & scoring in the 1964 Catholic League Championship game (which was a big deal back then) at the Palestra.

I did not know it at the time, but the guy from Bishop Egan watching me score was Paul McDowell.

I was 17, Paul was 16.

About 36 years later, my son Sam met Paul's daughter

Kelly in a classroom at UCLA & they started dating.

They married about 18 years ago

And me & Paul now share three grandkids together!

You just never know where life will take you...

so make sure you are nice to even the guys you beat!

The Babylon Bee has an interesting report today...

 Clever Business Owners Ward Off Looters With Kyle Rittenhouse Scarecrows

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Small business owners have devised a clever solution to the mostly-peaceful looting problem that has plagued retail stores in the nation’s democrat-run cities.

Standing near a Kyle Rittenhouse scarecrow outside her fifth-generation vintage VCR boutique, Reeba Hastings said, “We’re already seeing positive results from this bad boy. Just yesterday, a flash mob of fifty looters was ready to pilfer my precious vintage VCRs, but one look at these scarecrows and they scattered like politicians from a polygraph machine!”

However, some have pointed out the scarecrow’s downside. One store owner complained that, while scaring off potential looters, they tended to lure unemployed communist Antifa activists from out of their parents' basements and into the streets.

“The commies are perfectly harmless when near the Kyle Rittenhouse scarecrows,” said the store owner, “One of them kept trying to hit the life-size replica of Kyle, but kept missing and punching himself in the face over and over."

The scarecrows are also reportedly causing celebrities to lose their minds and froth at the mouth.

Michael McKendry stopped by tonight. Michael is two...The first son of Katie & Paddy...

Michael was riding his  'Schwinn Glider' all over Poppy & Nan's place!

I'm thinking this little bike w/no pedals may be the greatest invention since ???.

Sorry I have no actual video of Michael. I had no camera. But the kid was riding a two wheeler all over the house and the back porch! I was amazed...

A Pea blog bonus! Some photos of Katie & Paddy...

No pedaling! How far can one go on a Himiway without pedaling?

Distance on an ebike depends on your weight, the amount of pedaling you do, the terrain where you are riding. Is it flat or hilly...down hill or up-hill?
