You say that like it's a bad thing.

The very strange can happen at any moment.
I was eating lunch with a friend this week,
at our favorite, empty but for us, hamburger dive.
When, no shit, in walks Ozzy Osbourne with a crew of people?
Bear in mind I live in an area DEVOID of random
ex-rock stars walking around...DEVOID...
Add to this location devoid-ness
 our hamburger spot is next door to the town bus station
with all the ambiance that statement brings to mind.
Not exactly a celebrity hangout you know?
These factors force multiply the strangeness of the Ozzy appearance situation
I found myself in.
Now if you think I am suffering from delusions
I wouldn't blame you
As proof---
 here's some of the local news coverage
from the next day...

Strange can happen in blink of an eye.


Cyberpunk-like novel in route:


For a year now I have been obsessing over having to
do a required oil/filter change and find replacement tires for
my 2006 turbo diesel Brabus special edition Smart Car.
I believed i would have to train myself to do this mechanical work
and pray that a tire store might be able to replace the 
 very unique, required, high performance, super small tires?
I own one of the TWO turbo diesel, Barbus, super tuned
Smart Cars in the country.
I thought I could never expect to find a mechanic in my area 
 willing or able to work on it for me, 
I feared I would have to figure it out on my own.
While dropping our Toyota Tacoma truck off for servicing at the in town 
Toyota dealer this week, on a whim, I asked if they could service my Pocket Rocket?
I couldn't believe it when they said YES--no problem!
They are already ordering the special oil and filter,
and a new set of tires for me all of which was difficult to locate. 
You have no concept of how relieved I am.
I was never a great mechanic back when vehicles were simple.
I was overwhelmed about not
having a fucking clue as to what i was going to have to do as well as being
 absolutely sure I was going to screw up my beloved pocket rocket!
You have no idea how relieved I am...
Just awaiting their call to bring the Rocket in for treatment.


A big week for DVD's at the homestead.

Tomorrowland was apparently a bomb at the box office?
I watched it on DVD and thought it was a great, uplifting movie...
You have to give the film about 30 minutes to get rolling but
it is for sure worth the investment....

Jurassic World was what it was..
Big Lizards eating the stupid---always a people pleaser.
It gave me great material to use at home tho---
I told my JoJo that Velociraptors can apparently be trained
to a higher level than our Boston Terrier can achieve.

Did anybody out there ever figure out
what the plot was supposed to be in Terminator Genesis
 or who anybody in the film was
actually supposed to be???
I sure as shit was unable to.

It is being claimed that one of the more unique elements
of Quantum Mechanics---
Spooky Action at a Distance has been proven beyond doubt.
Appears as if this concept is true?
Einstein was not a believer in Spooky action at distance.
It appears that he may have been wrong?
What this means is that someday, the transporter in Star Trek..
May be available to we mere humans?
Once the bugs are worked out of course.

I have either a great bargain or a rip-off in route.
I found a 50mm, Quartz movement, Marina Militare knock off on Amazon for
$19.00 with free shipping...
This will be a hero or zero purchase I am sure. 
And---
Seiko is re-manufacturing a limited run of 
the "futuristic" chronograph watch worn by Ripley in the film ALIENS.

I have coveted this watch from the first time
I viewed this movie...
This watch is just not going to happen for me
game over man.
Too expensive--
this remake is priced out of bounds for me.
I think that it is cool tho that Seiko recognizes the fact that this
watch is a landmark, both in watches 
and Science Fiction movies.
