I love a rainy night, I sleep like a baby when it rains. Some times I wish I had a tin roof and less insulation when it rains so that I might better hear it. No rain forcasted til Thursday at the earliest.

Is suppose to get down to 67 Saturday. Which is perfect because we are planing on taking a family drive throu the back country roads to view the fall leaves and get some pictures of the fall scene. "Annual fall family tradition that I started." But it's not the same if we have the windows up and are running the A/C.

Clear skies here tonight, perfect view of the hunters moon plus all ninety kabillion planets and stars. Should beable to see the lunar eclipse in the morning. Tomarrow's forecast: wall to wall sunshine at 85° for a high.

As far as the shorts, my neighbors are just glad I have actual shorts on. Atleast I'm not running around the yard in my boxers, like I am known to do on not so rare occasions. Ohh the joys and freedom "no pun intended" of living in the country.

 

Dear Raoul -

So . . . the big 50 on Halloween eh?

Actually my 50 is coming soon. However, although it may seem like I might have been avoiding the post fifty generations, or rather that I was lumping anyone after fifty into one large group as if everything past fifty is OLD . . . such is not the case. The actual reason was the result of a (possibly) foolish assumption on my part . . . that Russell was not older than that. Actually my assumption is that most of the people on this site aren't past 50 (and I'm referring to actual age . . . if we were referring to say the emotional age of most of the members then . . . well . . .

As for "60 is the new 40", you hear that a lot these days . . . it's not true . . . actually it's a meaningless statement, but mostly it is the refusal of the baby boomers to come to terms with the fact that they are 60 or thereabouts.

60 is 60 . . . and that's not a bad thing. There is no reason to pretend it's something that it isn't . . . it's OK being what it is. 50 is good too, as is 46 going on 47 in three months (as is my case).

If it would make you feel OK, I can go back and edit my post and continue the age groupings all the way to 100 . . . your call.

 

Sorry, I didn't know you were nearly as old as me.
Feel kind of foolish getting upset now.
For some reason, you being old makes me happy.

If it turns out Russell is old, it would make my day.
Of course if he is over 50 he may never answer because he may be mad or maybe just forget. Even if he states his age, we would have to do the conversion because he's up in Canada.

Anyway, thanks for the reply and I'm really, really sorry about you being old and all.

[...i'm singing now...]

 

Hey . . .glad I could hep. That's what I am here for.

 

Hello Kobi.


to solicit other ideas and not ask you on your thread may have been bad manners but you must be weary of the endless queries.


Several answers to the questions and to end the speculation.
Almost 50. Damn that is closing fast.

I'm a strapping 5' 9" ( D@mn the Metric)

And with my advanced age i have all my teeth and hair

Live in the city of Vancouver. number #4 ( a chinese bad luck number)

and i do not know enough about American foot ball to surmise if it is gay.

But now Lacross is a man's sport.

And as an extra, my perferred color is silver.




And for Raoul after pondering and thinking about and rereading your post about age and memory many times as when i finished it i could not rember
how it started and memory many times as when i finished it i could not rember how it started and memory..........


Russell
almost 49 but with the metric conversion its 16 when i drive.

 

Dear Russell -

First let me say that, as Raoul pointed out, I did not mean to clump you into a group that extends all the way to the 90's and beyond (even tough you are in the 40 to 50 group) (And Raoul will be happy to hear you are almost 49).

That aside . . . based on your answers I have come up with the following costume.


Are you familiar with "Evil Burt"? (Here's his mugshot)



A couple of years ago there was a craze that started on the net about "Evil Burt" (The evil side of Burt from Sesame Street) (Look on the net for pix of Evil Burt and you'll see him in a host of pictures with other evil people or in situations that are bad.) It was some funny stuff.

Go here:

So, if you could get an Evil Burt costume, or have one made, you would be unique, and anyone who recognizes it will be demonstrating their savvy. These are the kind of people you want to know, and people you would get along famously with (based of course on scientific results garnered from the answers you gave, your history, where you live, etc. . . . don't ask how, it's a secret).

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

If, however you can not find an Evil Burt costume, or can't make one, then there are these standbys:



Sponge Bob or Mr. Potato.

It's takes a man with a seriously strong sense of self to wear one of these two costumes . . .and I think you can handle it.

Thank-you for your thought full and provocative suggestions. The suggestion of evil bert had it's appeal but the vast majority of the people that hung with him are dead or in jail. I would think that guilty by association would be a problem, not to think about the possablity that be dressing as him would be any better. He also likes M. Jackson, (i saw the pictures, that groping hand).

Sponge bob wears a tie that the comb over king D. Trump would covet, and he was also wearing goat hearder shoes, ( sorry raoul, but did you look at them? ). That looks like the last contender is mr Potato Head.

If i should wear that costume, would it be appropriate to eat french fries or mashed potatoes that evening? What if some one in the state of excessive halloweenism with the munchees mistakes me for a supper sized potato food order? And finally with that nose I would think that he has a drinking problem.

perhaps I might stay with the original idea that came to me when I was reading this post. That being a goat roping, dress wearing. chevy driving, boot wearing, down and dirty concrette city dude. This might give me the freedom that I so crave.
I do value your help but perhaps your scienticif system has me mistaken for
some else. I do not really think evil burt is for me.


Thank-you for the gallent effort.

Russell
still with out costume for halloween

Go ahead my friend. Ask me anything . . . about anyone.

That's what I'm here for.

Dude. . . . I know!!!! When I saw that so much of my life suddenly became validated!!!!!

 

Edit-I changed my mind. Sorry. :santa:

 

To late to change you mind I have your answers prepared....

Dear Lovetrucks,
WOW, somebody has been doing a lot of thinking.
I'll have to break these down in to smaller groups so it's easier for me to process.

We apologize but we are unable to disclose any of this information at this time. Doing so would not only risk the life of our beloved Kobi, but also the state of the union, possibly the entire world.

I thought this question had been asked sometime since this columns conception. But after searching the archives I surprisingly could not find it.

Humans once believed to the point of stating it as fact that we were the center of this world. We soon found out that the world was round and there was a lot more to it than us. Even then we still believed to the point of stating it as fact that our world was the center of the universe. We soon found out that our world was not even the center of our solar system.
Reviewing history indicates that it is human nature to imply some sort of self-importance. We continue to do so by trying to find a meaning for our existence. When in fact there may not even be a reason for our own personal existence. Our existence could be a negative one that we do not wish to acknowledge.

For example: We may be here solely as a parasite to kill this world. "Might I add that we appear to be doing a fine job at it too." So much so that we are currently in search for another world to inhabit, "or infect with our presence" that might sustain our life.

Currently from my observation there is nothing to indicate that there is actually a meaning to our lives.

Sorry if this information shocks, appauls, or disappoints a any self centered individules.

NO

Merely circumstance, with over 6,477,365,399 people in the world, "according to the census in the year 2000" estimated to be several hundred thousand more since then. The chances are high that we might bump into another human once or twice during our life cycle.
