Nolan's light fixture again

Dangling from the ceiling amongst the dirt, cob-webs and occasional flying dust bunny resides Nolan's light fixture that just may have been brought over on the Mayflower but maybe not since electricity hadn't been invented yet but in any case it's a dirty old non working light fixture and Nolan's totally fascinated with it but he just turned four months old and has yet to choose a career, although this certainly must mean that when nolan grows up he'll refuse a career as your typical fireman/cowboy and go straight for the fast living life-style of a electrical light  fixture sales-men(that's where the big bucks are).

And as he sets on his grampa's lap(where he occasionally doses off) I'm sure he's dreaming of a place full of light fixtures and it doesn't really mattèr if they work or not.

Nolan's light fixture

When  the nolan  was still a young dude he was fascinated with a light fixture hanging in the living room. Whenever he saw the fixture he would smile even though his teeth hadn't come in yet. Years before I had replaced the light globes after Aaron broke one of the three. It looks alright I guess but it's really cute the way nolan is totally fascinated by this old light fixture, I'm not sure if it even works we have never used it i wonder what he sees? My wife or I occasionally dust it, or vacuum it's globes.

And I wonder if in the future will the light fixture still be a source of amazement for Nolan? Also I've been searching online primarily for infant dentures without luck and dentures have nothing to do with light fixtures"

Presidential debate and chili cookoff-2012

months before the election i'd like to see them put the presidential candidates through a more rigorous test. before the election  we (voters) would like to become aware of their feelings on things like social security, healthcare, economy.deficit and more
but shouldn't we also find out for the various reasons things like:Jello Shots exactly how many Jello Shots can be consumed before this person(who may or may not be our next president) becomes a total fool? Next maybe Dancing: the united states is being represented and being just "ok" is not an option,"i'd hate to be embarrassed ." some athletic event or events Dodge ball: something to show the candidates quickness, cunning,etc. Doobie rolling: Beer Pong, Dumpster Diving, etc.

the candidates are almost always in the upper class yet they're representing all classes shouldn't they find out how the various classes exist by living the life of a common man/woman at least for a short period of time.

kirkjubol witchtrial of 1656,iceland

                           
in 1656 kirkjubol,iceland(possibly colder than a well digger's butt) a church dude(priest) blamed a father and son because the church dude was constantly cutting the cheese(farting) so the church dude had dad and son barbecued(burned at the stake) for being witches. i later learned they drowned women and fried men.(i think i'd rather drown?). another interesting fact is: the father and son who were fried sang in the church dudes choir.(i wonder if they sang off key?) but come on farting? and they weren't even the ones doing the farting.

after they fried dad and son the church dude(priest) was still plagued with the toots so he goes after the daughter of the man they just fried but they ended up letting her go but to make things even worse the church dude takes procession of all of dad's things(property,toys,etc.) but fortunately it was 1656 and snowmobile's weren't heard of yet.

everyone farts(even Priest's and super-model's)

the vietnam war

i was born in 1956 to young for direct involvement with the vietnam war but old enough to know that it was going on. my brother who's a professor and lives in singapore is only 11 months older than me and he has visited vietnam and the other south eastern Asiatic countries, he tells me the majority of people are younger than 30 and weren't even born while the war was going on. my brother tells me(at least in Vietnam) they call it "the american war?"

my first recollection of the vietnam war was when i was in elementary school possibly around 1965, i remember having absolutely no knowledge about the war except that it was going on, i also remember hearing "The ballad of the Green Beret" about this time. several years later after hearing small bits about the war i can recall in 1967 hearing about a farmer's(charles cooper) son being killed by shrapnel in vietnam, i also recall watching the news and it seems like almost nightly the death toll would be in the thousands.

i paid little attention but it's obvious many of the young kids were paying close attention.Next thing i knew it was 1969 with charles manson the beatles and my personal discovery of girls i didn't have time for the vietnam war although 1000's daily were still being killed. i can still remember sitting in seventh grade ohio history and the draft lottery was on a wheeled in T.V. a fellow 7th graders brother who was a senior in high school was on his way to vietnam or dodging the draft in canada (i never heard). also the Woodstock music festival went on featuring at least some musical acts protesting the war.

next came high school in 1971 young kids were still dying by the truckloads, every now and then on the news they'd show P.O.W.'s getting home, and somewhere between 1971-75 patti hearst did her thing, richard nixon did his watergate(resignation)"I am not a crook" crap, and mama "cass" choked on a ham sandwich?

i later found out there was a kid who dropped out of school who had been in my class but he had been shipped to vietnam. i think his name was bill lacy? i never did hear what became of him.

the war ended in 1975 and all the united states gained was some horrid scar's.

alien abduction and dental floss

it was in 1997 when i was driving home after a late night get together and hog roast with friends and some friends of friends people that i really didn't know but they came for some of the same reasons as i did and that was to eat pork and drink alcoholic beverages(with an emphasis on the beverages). we'd eaten to our hearts content and everyone at the get together was sufficiently brain-dead when they decided it was time to go. i remember thinking to myself "i wish i had  dental floss" when i first noticed a strange light in the sky. the floss was because there was something  lodged between my teeth and gums and i really wasn't sure if it was a sliver of pork or if it could have been the corn on the cob? i've always loved fresh sweet-corn soaked in butter with ample salt and pepper sprinkled on it and i'd like if it was real butter not margarine if possible but i hated the fact that corn on the cob gets stuck between your teeth i guess it's just the price you've got to pay but especially my teeth since unfortunately i was born with a gap in my front teeth and there must be some space between my other teeth because food sure likes to get stuck back there and i'm constantly having to brush and floss to prevent cavities although even though i do have above average oral hygiene i still have a truck-load of fillings. due to my oral dilemma and the strange lights in the sky it made driving a real challenge since i've never been the type of person who could combine more than one task at a time. that's when i decided to pull the car over to the side of the road and observe these strange lights that had been becoming brighter constantly for the last several miles.

it was the summer in central ohio so it was warm outside and slightly humid but tolerable and on this particular night there wasn't a cloud in the sky. i thought that maybe the light could be an airplane or maybe a helicopter but there wasn't any sound coming from the light. i stood outside my car which happened to be a rambler classic 1963, i'd had that car for a long time so it looked horrible but it always started and i didn't have to worry about a scratch or even a fender bender since it was built like a brick shit-house and was painted partially with primer and love, or to clarify myself i had started to do some body work but never got around to completing the job so the car looked like it was camouflaged with grey primer and the original green car color although the green had faded leaving it looking hideous with the grey primer sprayed on here and there.

i stood outside the car looking at the lights and wondering "what the hell is it?" and it couldn't have been more than a few hundred yards away. then suddenly the lights were coming closer and if it wasn't for the fact that i had had just a little to much to drink and eat i probably would have been scared but i did so i was curious and then it landed not more than one-hundred feet from where i was standing, the glare from the lights made it impossible to tell exactly what had just landed i was paralyzed i couldn't yell or move. i have never believed in little green men,santa claus or the easter bunny but here they were walking towards me and my parked rambler classic whatever it was was colored exactly like the rambler a faded green with gray splotches.

the next thing i knew i was on board their space-craft being probed but between probings i did have the presence of mind "although communication was difficult" to ask them for some dental floss fortunately they had a tool made just for that.

i woke up several hours later driving the rambler classic and questioning my ability to consume as many refreshments as i could in my younger days although i can't explain the loss of time. i was feeling fine with the exception of a tingling sensation in an orifice or two but i no longer required dental floss.
