The nightly news

Turned to the local station I watch, KTLA out of LA. With the Direct TV I have, LA is "local" I live two hours from LA for crying out loud.
But it was twenty minutes of the emmy's. Good grief! It truly is LA LA Land!!!!!
I don't give a rat's behind. The only good thing is the eye candy. And some of the high fashion is down right ugly. Christina Hendrix was the classiest one I saw.
Other than that, most of it is mindless drivel. It all deals with make believe. I haven't watched regular network TV in so long............The NHL on NBC is the exception. Other than that, no use for any of it.

Fifty Seven

Today is my birthday. Among all the remembrances and other events marking the tenth anniversary of the attacks on Our Republic, it is still my birthday. Going to Bakersfield to have a late lunch at either Red Lobster or Hometown Buffet.
Being cold and disrespectful? No. It is still my birthday and I cannot dwell on things that have passed. I did ask to go back on active duty.
It is still my birthday. And after the things that occurred two years ago, I am going to be a bit self centered on this day.
Such is life.

How to Tie a Tie: Art of Manliness

Gotta go to the link!
It is a good post.
I see guys now in their thirties who cannot tie a tie even using the four-in-hand knot.
Sad commentary, indeed.
How to tie a tie

This one is for Buck.

From a place called Abandoned & Little Known Airfields.
Glasgow Air Force Base. Thanks McNamara, you worthless putz.
A shot of Glasgow AFB taken in 2007.

A 12/17/07 aerial view looking west along Glasgow's massive runway.
Seems that Boeing has been using GSG for testing and flight research. There is nothing but wheat fields, safflower fields and cow pastures around. So if an airplane falls out of the sky, there is no chance of hitting anything on the ground.
