We cannot direct the wind,
but we can adjust the sails. Bertha Calloway |
 You know how one thing makes you think of another? On our way home from Decatur last week I saw a little red Corvair go sailing by in the oncoming lane of the freeway and remembered something I had forgotten for many years. I worked at the Star-Lite Drive-In Theatre in North Pekin from the time I was in 8th grade and all through high school. Somewhere about my sophomore year a fellow by the name of Richard worked there briefly and he drove a 1963 red convertible Corvair. And then I remembered he had an 8 track tape that played constantly ... In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. So I scrounged up that song which is offered below on this page. I was sitting here listening to that and I could almost feel the wind in my face as we tooled all over Central Illinois in that noisy little car with music wide open and another thought drifted past my mind ... Richard introduced me to the nicotine habit. It is likely I would have started smoking anyway but that was the summer I started because Richard always had a pack of Marlboros, his Iron Butterfly tape, and his red Corvair. He didn’t return to the Star-Lite after that brief summer, but I continued working there ... along with my newly acquired smoking addiction. I guess that is the bitter in the bittersweet memory of that summer of 1971. |
Congratulations Charity!I received an email from my sister-in-law Carolyn with the photo below. She is very proud (as she should be) of her daughter, Charity, graduating from McKendree Univeristy this past Saturday. Charity has a Bachelors degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Economics. There’s a state crime lab in Morton ... maybe she could work there as a CSI!

 The devastation is seen in earthquake-affected Beichuan County in Sichuan province, China. A massive earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 shook Wenchuan County in southwest Chinas Sichuan Province at 2:28 pm Monday, said the State Seismological Bureau. More than 300 aftershocks were registered after the quake, which rocked skyscrapers in Shanghai, hundreds of miles away. The shocks were reported as far away as Thailand and Vietnam. At least 8,533 people had died as a result of the earthquake by 10 pm Monday and thousands more are injured, said officials in Sichuan. In Beichuan, another county hit by the quake, the number of people dead is estimated at 5,000, and up to 10,000 people are injured. |
Love Poems
Women’s Love Poem
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who’s not a creep,
One who’s handsome, smart and strong
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who’ll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he’s gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won’t be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who’ll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to ‘how big is my behind?’
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And always be my very best friend.
Mens Love Poem
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with
huge boobs who owns a bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and hunting. This
doesn’t rhyme and I don’t give a shit. |
| I borrowed the following video from blueollie. I have to tell you up front it is a vulgar comparison of Hillarity Clintoon as Hitler and the language is beyond awful ... but it still appealed to my sick sense of humor. So you have been forewarned and are free to watch — but don’t say I didn’t warn you! |
