Solar Orbital November 2020 more than 1 1/2 times the distance to the sun

As Carl Sagan said in 1994, upon viewing a picture of earth from Voyager 1 as it was leaving the solar system:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives," he wrote.

"The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilisation, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

Imma dreamin of a White Christmas

 Here is what is missing from the Trump supporters most recent Christmas, a K Mart Christmas sound track. Remember the Blue Light Specials?  

Here it is for your 1970's enjoyment, K Mart Christmas official sound track.

This is so depressing...

Trump releases bats on day of 2nd impeachment

Steve McQueen's Mantra

 

Steve McQueen's Mantra: "I decide what is right and what is wrong and I don't have to explain it to anybody. I like women but I'm a little afraid of them. I'm not gonna make a commitment because if you make a commitment to a woman they can hurt you. I won't pick a fight with you but if you pick a fight with me or back me into a corner I will fucking kill you."

President Kanye West on Mt. Rushmore

Yes it's Yeezy on Mt. Rushmore.  He has decided even before the election results that he will be on Mt. Rushmore.  I am surprised that his Presidential quest has not generated more publicity.  It would  have been great having him in the Democratic primary, even better in the Republican primary.  

Actually I think Mt Rushmore should be detonated.  It literally belonged to native Americans when it was sculpted. The Black Hills should be returned to what it once was when the treaty was passed by Congress.

"Come and See," anti war film from CCCP (Soviet Union) 1985

This is supposedly the scariest movie ever made, and it is based on fact, not fiction.

The film details a young boy's experience in Belarus during "Operation Barbarossa," the German invasion of Russia.

The Criterion Channel has it.  Criterion is $9.99 monthly.  They have great films, including Ingmar Bergman films.

Testament of Youth

How could I have missed this movie?!!!  Just saw it on Starz and it appeared to be the usual WWI movie, boy goes off to war, sweetheart makes do at home. But then.....it derailed.  It became very intense.  The acting is incredible. Sadness permeates the film.  It is really a testament to peace.

I just ordered the book, first published in 1933.  Ironic, Since another war was just developing in Europe.  Maybe that is why Vera Brittain wrote it.  I just ordered a recent copy from Amazon, about $15 paperback.  First Edition will run you $800 + .  Might be worth it.

The cinematography was perfect. Beautiful scenes. I ordered the book, a must read.  I also noticed that Vera Brittain authored another book, about Britain from 1939-1941.  Here are some scenes.

One more beautiful song from our friend John Prine

"You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness.."

John Prine is going to heaven! We will miss you forever.

Bye John  You raised consciousness for more people than you can imagine.  And when I think of you and feel blue, I will play this video

Marc the Psych RN at work at Mercy Behavioral Health in Pittsburgh 2013, when he was young

I really enjoyed working at Mercy Behavioral Health, great team members, great patients.  If only they had an opening for a nurse practitioner I would apply.  I recommend this team for those interested in working with urban outpatients, some of who have serious psychiatric chronic conditions.  It was rewarding, I felt like I was working with friends, and helping the underserved.  Very spiritual.

"Skateboard Angels" from Happy Kyne and the Mirthmakers

here they are, Happy Kyne and the Mirthmakers, with an original song, "Skateboard Angels"

STOP iT ! Dr. Newhart's advice.

I love this skit.  Not very helpful, but there is a message there. If someone has a fear of being buried in a box, I would explore their childhood - were they locked in a closet?  Locked in a outbuilding?  But maybe they should just STOP IT! 

Here it is the skit.

FERNWOOD TONIGHT kept me laughing in the 70's

Martin Mull used to perform with his "furniture" as though he was performing at home and the audience was his guests.  This transformed into Fernwood Tonight, a take off on late night talk shows, this one on public access in Fernwood, Ohio.  I used to howl and cry laughing his episodes were so funny.
Here is one of the best, the police stopped someone for speeding, turns out he is Jewish, and since there are no Jews in Fernwood, the poor guy ends up on Fernwood Tonight.

HERE IT IS.

Here are more episodes.

Rep. Bobby Rush speaks out about racial profiling, gets escorted out of the House. By a white Rep. from Mississippi.

I think Bobby Rush made his point about racial profiling.

Bill Clinton says Monica Lewinsky affair was way to ‘manage my anxieties’ in new documentary

So I have experienced profound depression and anxiety in my life.  I did not search to find an impressionable young female intern who could provide me with fellatio, allow me to ejaculate on her dress, and pleasure her with my cigars.  But this is how Bill manages his anxiety.  He must be full of anxiety since other women have accused him of rape, of fathering a child, of numerous sexual affairs. He had sex with other women in the Oval Office, his intern wasn't the only one. Why did he tell Hillary how anxious he was, and suggest his unique plan of treatment? These two live in a bubble, they reinforce their demented reality that they have created, they have no way of grasping how ridiculous this book must be.  I am not reading it.  It is a waster of time. 

Greta Thunberg teenager talking about the future of our planet

Greta SAILED to United States because it has the least energy footprint.

Then there is President Trump ridiculing her.

She is on the Autism spectrum (what I call "Aspergery.") She is often mocked for that.  You know what you are saying is important when vested interests perk up to ridicule you, even if you are a teenager and legally a minor.  Her message is so compelling that even the President of the USA feels necessary to attack her. "Even the President of United States sometimes has to stand naked," Bob Dylan.  I admire her so much, her parents must be very proud.
