Opening piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church -- closing Banjo HangOut The Very Thought of You, used with permission. I once made a crack that with more than 2/B phones sold no one would steal an iPhone. What the thieves are now after is your “life”. Locking you out of your Apple ID to charge stuff thru Apple/Pay — it’s your identity they steal. The TV commentator suggested replacing your four-digit passcode with a six-digit code.  Yes, that might help, but here’s a be...

Music courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church,  Earlier this year during weekend weather programming on FNB the mouth of the Hudson River was identified as “Hudson’s Bay” (in the crawl).  FYI/in TV terms that’s the name for information that scrolls across the bottom of your screen (not to be confused with closed captioning).   This same sort of thing is happening in the movie synopsis.

November 11, 2022 00:00 - 16 minutes - 22.3 MB

Opening courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian Church, The election is over and the pundits are scurrying for cover to explain the red wave which wasn’t! It’s been a mystery to me just what motivates Senatorial concerns. I can’t picture Fedderman as a Senator he looks more like a thug.  On the other hand, Chuck Schumer (NY) may look like a Senator but he’s a dunce. In my precinct, early voting was a big success. The concept was created to increase turnout, by the third day my box had co...

Music by Stevens Valley Brass Quintet --  Consider this latest headline “Crisis in the classroom” How can we have a classroom crisis when schools are not in session? Answer Simple we are finding out “teachers” are not teaching!

It’s wonderful to be appreciated  A token of my thanks is winging its way to the weather guys at Newschannel 17. Their little Saturday piece about weather superstitions. It was a hoot.   I prefer the term folklore. Believing in global warming is a superstition. Trusting the Punxsutawney Phil is folklore.

No, she’s got metabolism confused with appetite, and here’s the unscientific part: “Drink a half of a liter of water each day to increase your metabolism….” That’s going to be very difficult because water has zero calories…. Next, she opines “Walk 8700 steps daily….” Or nearly twice as far as the Heart Association 5000 steps daily.  If you put those two recommendations together you get one colossally bad idea — it’s called dehydration.
