FYI/every pyramid is constructed by the same geometric rules.PS/Napoleon while only a brigadier general was the first conquer of Egypt since Julius Caesar (and he only captured Alexandria! That's a fact Jack

Piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian ChurchWhy is that Itaiian sandwich called a sub?Maybe Miss Cornwall was right after all?She announced one day (back in 1948) I was in the sixth grade…. It was her plan, “to teach us to write The Kings English…”… It wasn’t true of course. At that time there was no society on Earth with more Language/Class divisions than the UK, not counting the various dialects, Scotch, Welsh & Irish.This is different from the book Miss Cornwall was teaching from, but the revised 1931 edition The Kings English, by Fowler,

Banjo music courtesy of Banjo HangOut "Hello Dolly" -- The only “crime” of Donald Trump is that he's a “birther”. As such he is a threat to the cult of “diversity”!Gentle reader, Let me remind you of the old political axiom “divide and conquer”! It’s the bedrock of WOKE theology.  That document which begins with this phrase “We The People…” is racist. No, it’s our bulwark of Liberty & Justice. Two commodities in short supply in Colorado & Maine.  Only Nebrask 7 Maine may "apportion" electoral votes, but must record only one for the winner.

Leave that thinking to the USPS. The goal of a forever device is illusionary.

We wish to acknowledge the consent of the Tylers to reproduce their music, recorded live via iPhone at Harpeth Presbyterian Church...A new high in Low Jill Biden Comments on Covenant Matters. I guess she forgot her visit to Nashville to lead “Gay Pride” Day celebrations..I know it was meant to be comforting, but the wife of the President needs to “back off”….Her recent remarks about Nashville’s Covenant Massacre are totally out of line…It’s just like Joe Biden’s confusion regarding that derailment in East Palestine (OH). The president’s visit was too little way too late, and now we have Mrs Biden lamenting an event of gender rage and confusion…

There is no such thing as “leftover” champagne you can’t put it back in the bottle and even if you could you can’t re-cork it. According to the so-called “World Court” headquartered in The Hague, only wine produced in the Champagne region of France can be labeled “champagne…” That’s why my favorites, Piper Sonoma (Curvee) and Mumms Napa (Blanc Noir) show on their labels, They are marvelous products at sensible prices. Made by French Vinters of Champagne in California…If you are served champagne from a plastic corked bottle, you deserve to be scammed…

Banjo Music courtesy of Banjo HangOut, William Tell overture It kind of reminds me of a quote from Sherlock Holmes…”I am not retained by Scotland Yard to supply their deficiencies…”Memo to AI “weather writers” — the weather pattern known as LaNina, is an AI fraud… It doesn’t exist. It’s another fraud by low information creators…It might be good Spanish grammar, but it’s a hoax.It ranks up there with “Wuhan virus is racist…” the original AI fraud.

Piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church.Yes, you can it’s called “transcription”. A feature of the new Apple Podcast App. Like most of our current AI-produced content, it’s flawed. Flaw number One was my fault for producing two files with similar names!Leave it to Seri to read the “raw” (wrong) file that contained a ten-second warmup. For those of you new to podcast production even in this day & age of so-called HD recording. It takes a few seconds for voice memos to produce premium content. HD recording is one of those numerous iPhone misnomers like “working in the cloud”.  HD is a digital file and as such it’s compressed or compact.

In Bingo the game ends when someone wins, unlike his message of “everybody is guaranteed a win…”. That is except for the minority of us (48%)  who do the work of the nation and pay our taxes.

Closing by Banjo HangOut William Tell Overture....FYI/while I was preparing to write this piece I glanced at Music on my iPhone — gone is the 90 Days Free after that $9.99 — Now it’s one month free and $10.99 monthly…Of course with Music, there’s no going back, once you sign up there’s no UNDO allowed. It’s a lifetime subscription…No wonder Apple makes so much money….

Music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church Just as I'm all for Niki Haley remaining the race every real race needs two contenders I do think it's revealing at how low we have sunk as a nation for anyone to argue against “fairness”, Our problem remains our political climate of revenge and retribution aided and abetted by WOKE theology attack on our seminal document. Let's just for a moment play this card “Lets suppose based on his public performance the secretary of state of Tennessee “declares President Biden not fit to run for re-election!After all we have the words of the special counsel “A well-meaning but diminished capacity adult….”.with his finger on the nuclear trigger Editors NoteHow would you feel then? "Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power."

Music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church.“Reconstruction, civil rights, the myth of the Lost Cause….” WSJ 02-25-2024 PC8 A quote from The World Will Never See The Like I demure this comment “The Lost Cause” had not been invented yet! It was Woodrow Wilson commenting on the Birth of A Nation a film “It's like writing history with lightning….” But it wasn't history it was Drama! Circa 1917 Sure Generative AI is great as long as you don't mind that Accuracy is sacrificed on its Altar

A Tsunami always sends a warning, but we may not recognize it. If you ever see the “ocean” suddenly recede, as if the tide has gone out — turn around and run toward the high ground — you have between three & thirty minutes depending on how far the ocean recedes.
