The Uncertainty Principle

Oh. Flying hellbeast. Seen it.

Relax.

We lived through 8 years of

Ronald and fucking Nancy Reagan.

If we survived that,

we can survive anything..!

I guess it just has to be said once again...

Some people are simply not listening....

Do not attempt to build your own nuclear reactor

Eh--Twice cause it makes you Eh--die?

If you were gracious enough to suffer through

my previous postings on trauma at least

you deserve updates?

My Guitar students have magically re-appeared?
As if they were kidnapped and suddenly released without
ransom demands?

My electric guitar construction projects are still in exile.
As of yet, no will to try again?

I have successfully completed the transition to
"I don't give a fuck" levels in regards to politics.
I will merely observe developments.

The neighbor's cat still considers our place as
her "vacation home".
I found her in our greenhouse the other day?

I have not written on boomboxes for awhile now.

I haven't stopped collecting....
They have just become so expensive...?
I'm awaiting that one I can't live without.

I feel better catching everybody up.

I was prowling cheap guitars on the Internet

the other day.

A true example of my exciting lifestyle in action,

but none the less...

I found a guitar not only cheap but awesome!

A maple necked, tobacco black burst, all black hardware.

Fender Squire, HSS, Stratocaster.

$129.00 & free shipping.

I've never really played Strat's other than trying the
odd band-mates, I've always been a Telecaster rat.
In attempting to expand my playing abilities,
and at the same time prevent a practise slump,
I jumped on this deal.
Stats have their very own specific sound.
An older player now, perhaps,
this tone could enhance my current styling?
I am willing to try...

I did angst out over this purchase.

The reason why guitars such as this particular one,
are both cheap and of excellent quality, is due to
the cheap,slave labor style, far east manufacturing process,
that all major guitar companies now use.

I hate having to buy things created under that type of system?

What the fuck can you do tho,
when you are a regular person and you gotta play?

More on this guitar and photo's after it arrives..

In retirement i have become very medieval serf like,
as in adjusting what i do to the season?

Summer = outside gardening and working on the homestead.
Winter = inside, building plastic models, watches and taping.
Since it has now becoming darker and colder with each passing day.

The first model of the
winter has arrived---
A 1/24th scale Citroen 2cv.

I love Citroen 2cv's.
The Citroen 2CV
I believe them to be one of the most art-deco and functional
of the peoples cars designed in the late 1930's.
I have always wanted one.
It appears as if my 2cv not going to happen in this lifetime.

Why not model and display one in the Nerd Cave?

Within my disturbed brain my imaginary 2cv is always yellow so,
constructing this model my hope is for it, to turn out
much like this example below:

I will post on the construction process once i start...

Robert Vaughn passed away at 83.

He was my buddy Bill's and my hero,

in the Man from Uncle, TV show,

when we were kids!

Robert Vaughn passes away

an institution...

Leonard Cohen dead

Leon Russell also passed away..
Jesus Christ! We're not even reached the annual,
fucking Christmas celebrity death zone yet?

Lost in the valley of the shadow of the subplot.

Writing much of this blog in the day before the
paradigm shift of the 2016 election.

Paradigm shift--WTF?
Come this Wednesday morning regardless of which of
these creatures the 'Murican voter gives birth to:

our overwhelming feeling
is to simply go stoic.
WTF stoic?

Our plan is to hide in the crowd away from the results,

no matter who claims victory?

Remember all those 1950's SF movies,
(like Howard Hawks "The Thing from another world")

when strange shit awakens in the Arctic?
Well----Uh?

Canadian military investigates mysterious pings

mysterious-ping-heard

Herd cats the other night!
NO REALLY....
What had previously only been a commentary
on organizational fuck-ed-ness to me, became a reality
the other night?

One of our neighbor's cats has recently had kittens.
They are now big enough to go exploring and
both of them wound up in our fenced in courtyard
meowing to get out and the mom meowing
to get them back!
After figuring out what exactly the deal was we tried to herd
the two kittens, in the dark, out to the awaiting mom with
the results that you can only imagine?

After about twenty minutes of total cat dominated fuckdom--

i just left the gate open and the mom cat
came in the courtyard and escorted them both out!
So strange how a cliche' became a reality???

Being the wonderful, responsible neighbors to the south we are.

In 1950 we 'Muricans dumped a nuclear bomb off the coast of Canada..

Uh-Really..

It's been lost, yes lost since then?

Uh-Yeah-thanks we lost that...

The good thing (maybe??)

is that the Canadians may have found it?

We're lucky they are so nice and do not seem to

mind living next door to the nuclear hillbillies that we are?

The big question is--

If they actually found this bomb--?

Is Canada now a nuclear power?

Eh?

After playing the guitar for 50 years--

There is still strangeness--
As in noticing that there are multiple 'classic'
guitar tunes/riffs that you never learned to play,
and you are all like--
How the fuck did i not learn this?
Take for example, Clapton's 'Lay down Sally'.

I suppose bands i had been in never played it,
or i was learning other shit and never got around to it,
but it suddenly hit me, the other day,
that I've never played it?
Japan 1988
