Went to a train show today and one of the modules modeled the transcontinental Golden Spike ceremony in N scale which is very small.

Does anyone know where I sign up for a new life in one of those off world colonies that blimp keep taking about?

In watching lots of college football yesterday one of the players was named Ralph Phillips which set off a nostalgia bomb of the daydreaming kid in Looney Tunes short From A to Z-Z-Z-Z Btw most of the Looney catalog is now on Tubi for free

Well in lighter news, I got an email from Spotify to let me know that Burt Bacharach is going on tour despite dying in 2023. A quick search yields that this actually the name of a metal band. 😄

Spot on…

Tonight while making dinner, I read a post about B2s were being refueled over Hawaii. Ate dinner while watching Jaws. Afterwards I grabbed and my phone and I guess we started a war. Good god.

One more favorite. As a 5 year old, I never questioned or thought it was weird that someone would live in a capital i. I was just like….cool.

Oh goodness! This unlocked a memory.

I was looking at a set of O scale figures for a layout I am building and none of photos had good close ups of the paint work. Finally saw them in person and yikes!!

A new Star Wars novel came today- Reign of the Empire. Taking place after the events of Episode 3 it’s the first in a trilogy of books. Can't wait to dig in, although it's seems rather prescient considering our current state.

2001- Yea! Twin Peaks season 1 on DVD! 2007- Yea! Season 1&2. My collection is complete! 2014- Yea! The blu-ray box set with the movie and The Missing Pieces. I’m done buying Twin Peaks sets! 2025- Shit….🤦‍♂️

As the current situation in this country has been growing grim, I’ve been escaping into the final frontier. This site will generate a random Star Trek episode or movie from across the ST universe. Hopefully you’ll find as helpful as I do. 🖖 watchtrek-lookforward.com/engineering/...

Working through various Star Trek:TNG episodes lately and stumbled upon an unmistakable voice. The actor Leon Rippy who played a favorite Sonny Clemmons also played saloon owner, Tom Nuttall in the series Deadwood.

This graphic showing the most popular fast food in each state, which was clearly created for engagement farming, is so out of whack. I had to look up Qdoba and they’re only two locations in Iowa. And Jersey Mikes everywhere including Wisconsin, the land of Culver’s is criminal. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure what store this is but they sell toilet paper and antifreeze. I do know is, we’re getting an Atari!!!

Hit this email from Menards today. Got this out just in time for Jan 20th. It’s funny for all the people in construction and woodworkers I know that voted for exactly this.

FYI- the 2023 reboot of Takashi’s Castle Japan is on Prime. It’s so good, although I do miss the MXC voiceovers. Get it on!

First post! After the 2016 election, I posted this photo with the caption- Let's all meet at the rendezvous point on Tatooine. I’m starting to think that in 2025 BlueSky might be Tatooine.
