I thought it was unusual that I saw a movie with Sidney Poiter as a smart-ass student in Blackboadr Jungle and within a day saw him as a teacher in To Sir With Love. Weird.

We got talking about visiting Egypt.I found that a day trip from Cairo is only $37.00 US to visit the pyramids and the sphinx .You can enter a pyramid for an additional fee.

I imagine the vendors have food.
Sphinx on a bun
Pharaoh burger
Cleopasta
Moishes deli

I'm convinced there are more +size 14 than size 2's in the world.......All larger women should go to Abercrombie & Fitch and just look through their racks.....don't buy anything!!! They will be ready to throw you out because their image is damaged with your very presence. Spend hours there like you are in the public library.

I got in a small accident in my own car back in March.Some young 18 yr old Winkertoss
in a 1998 Intrepid (owned by his dad's company)overreacted to a car in front of him
and put a nice crease up the side of my car.
I have a Dodge Avenger as a rental.It reminds me of the K car.
It has a hundred options like heated seats and a compass and cirrus radio
but it feels cheap.
I get my civic back Saturday.

Upstate goes to see movies.I post in this thread. LOL
I feel like ranting a bit.It's a beautiful day today.I've been in the yard reading for about 2 hours.
The year is 1995.Steve Jobs is about to take the reigns again at apple.Stop.
Ok back to my rant.I'm hearing and seeing many new birds this year.Birds I have not seen around here.
Some sound almost tropical.I've noticed a lot of yellow and black ones that I thought were wild canaries.
After some research,I've learned that they are orioles.I've also seen a few red headed woodpeckers.
Is this because of the global warming? I mean,first we had coyotes and opossums crossing the border (illegally I might add :wink2:)Now it's birds of the southern USA .What's next,alligators?
I will probably be dead before that happens but It may happen some day.
One thing I remember is collecting orange salamanders with black spots while camping in Pennsylvania as a kid in milk bottles and letting them go.We have no salamanders that I've seen up here yet.I hope they can evade customs,I like those little guys.First Walmart,then Target...coming soon,bald eagles?

I
don't care who wrote this, but thank God they did. Every celeb who is going to
sing the Anthem in public should be made to read this first.








(From
Navy Commander (Ret) in San Diego)










“So,
with all the kindness I can muster, I give this one piece of advice to the next
pop star who is asked to sing the national anthem at a sporting event: save the
vocal warbling gymnastics and the physical gyrations for your concerts. Just
sing this song the way you were taught to sing it in kindergarten — straight up,
no styling.





"Sing
it with the constant awareness that there are soldiers, sailors, airmen and
marines watching you from bases and outposts all over the world. Don’t make them
cringe with your self-centered ego gratification. Sing it as if you are standing
before a row of 86-year-old WWII vets wearing their Purple Hearts, Silver Stars
and flag pins on their cardigans and you want them to be proud of you for
honoring them and the country they love — not because you want them to think you
are a superstar singer. They could see that from your costume, makeup and your
entourage.

Sing 'The Star Spangled Banner' with the courtesy and humility
that tells the audience that it is about America, not you.




And
please remember… not everything has to be sung as a Negro spiritual. We'’re
getting a little weary of that. Francis Scott Key needs not your
help."

Some fast talking guy just rang our doorbell from world vision.
He wanted me to sponsor some kid from the 3rd world ,and he had 3 left with pictures to prove it.
He went on about how these kids drink water we would not wash our feet in.
I was polite and said we give enough to charity already,and he kept it up.
He was ranting about us complaining that we had no AC from the storm,while
these kids were slaughtering the family cow so they could live the next month.
I said I already told you we already donate to charities and he finally said ok sir,
thank you for your time and left.
He looked at me like I was an ash sole
It got me thinking that even though I let ups deduct money from my pay check
for the United way,I hate the way the big shots have their own parking spaces
usually filled with BMW's.
I started wondering...this guy was like a used car salesman...on commission,
selling children.Pretending that he really cares.I googled it.
