This is one reason people hate the governments, local, state, or federal. They think they are somehow special—FJB and the Oregon government. They probably needed it for Antifa or IRGC.
Another Minnesota fraud. The Congress needs to resign. America is gravely ill. Borrowed Federal Money keeps it from flat lining.

Good Morning….THIS JUST IN
What an incredible piece of work
Follow the lyrics closely together with the photos. They synchronize beautifully to explain each verse. Although Don McClean only released the song in 1971, for those of us who grew up in the 40s, 50’s and 60’s this is a great piece with some very poignant moments in the history of those times.
And for those of you who did not, it’s a taste of what you missed. I knew that “American Pie” was the name of the plane in which Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper were killed when it crashed in 1958 – and I knew the chorus about music dying on that day.
However, when the words are put together with pictures and film clips the song takes on more meaning. It took a lot of thought to produce this and it brings back lots of memories and also makes the lyrics really come alive. Those were the days and we were very fortunate to grow up during that period of time.
Don’t Blame Me…
Sometimes tunes get caught in your head and just bounce around all day, right? Well, do not blame me if a Purple People Eater follows you around all day. There is a very charming Little Ghost who lives in an empty wine bottle at my house. Sometimes I even discover that a previously unopened bottle of wine has been opened and taste-tested. He leaves a little rating for me…so far, all are 5 Star Results. He is a cute little ghost and left this song for you.

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark…
One: Don’t miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine: When you’re stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting. NOW, wasn’t that nice? Pass it along and make someone else smile, too.

Astronomy Picture of the Day
R3 PanSTARRS: An Orion Comet
Image Credit & Copyright: Chester Hall-Fernandez
Explanation: Comet R3 PanSTARRS might be best remembered as an Orion comet. A key reason is because Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) was near its most spectacular — in terms of tail visibility — when passing in front of the iconic constellation. Although rare, other bright comets, too, have ventured across Orion, including Lovejoy in 2015, Hale-Bopp in 1997, and the Great Comet of 1264. Best visible in long duration exposures, the featured image was captured last week from the Craigieburn Mountain Range in New Zealand. Visible in the deep background image are the Orion Nebula, Barnard’s Loop, and through R3’s tail, the bright star Saiph, the sixth brightest star in the constellation of Orion. Comet R3 PanSTARRS continues to fade as it moves further south, passing into the constellation of the Unicorn (Monoceros) in the next few days.
