Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written whilst visiting the Barber, and now it is time for you to post until the Barber cows come home.

Today, my sister and I are going to our mom's for the afternoon.  My sister also wants me to come over afterward (or maybe tomorrow) to help with the new tarp that we put over the chicken coop last week...it's a bit loose, so we have to some how tighten it down.  Hopefully, that won't be too much trouble.

Governor Inslee's plitical rival is concerned about suspected fraud? What evidence has he that there was fraud, or is he, like the Fat Orange Slug, lying out of both faces?
Title: Re: THE BARBER CHAIR
Post by: elmore3003 on November 07, 2020, 04:07:07 AM
I'm surprised that no one's accused the Fat Orange Slug of crying wolf once too often.  His claims of calling the election a fraud began ages ago in his public masturba rallies - if I win, it's legit and if I lose, there's fraud going on - so I'm surprised by none of the crap he's pulling now.

And, of course, if there were Democrat fraud, how did Moscow McConnell and Prissy Missy Graham get re-elected?

I have a few of the Scottish National recordings of soundtrack scores, and they are generally fine but I have to amplify (see what I did there?) what BK said about the distant sounding washy audio. I wonder if a better setup in the same hall could produce better results. Either way, not my kind of recording. As a result, these things get played way less than they should.

I love SHADOW OF A DOUBT and it is probably my favorite Teresa Wright movie....although I also like:

Mrs Miniver - her SPOILER


death scene is extraordinary.....

The Best Years of Our Lives
The Little Foxes
and a TV version of Morning's At Seven that I really liked.

Joseph Cotton has a great voice - but that FACE!  It's like the business end of a mule.  It's hard for me to watch him, but I like:

Citizen Kane
Niagara
Duel In The Sun

And of course if the numbers were reversed and the Democrats were crying fraud, what would they be saying?  The delusion is high and mighty and I don't care what side of the fence you're on - delusion is delusion.  That said, at least there is some question of wrongdoing by one Louis De Joy and conveniently missing ballots for which a judge has summoned him to court.

DR JANE the most remarkable thing just happened.

My neighbor's son, who lives about three miles away across the county line, and his wife rode their horses over to visit her.

I heard a terrible ruckus.....those three doggies were going to make short work of those horses.....but Travis just turned his horse toward them and they ran as fast as they could back to their front door.

Travis rode his horse over to my front porch so I could pet him.  His name is Spurs.....he's a 14-year-old brown & white boy.....with one brown eye and one blue eye and LONG LONG eyelashes.....

Such a treat to get to pet a horse and talk to him.....I'm sorry I didn't have an apple!

I spent the last two hours prepping the root vegetable cobbler. If I didn't have an ingredient, i would substitute something else. No potatoes or sweet potatoes? Fine. In went butternut squash and a pear. Now, it's baking for another 45 minutes or so.

I don't know what the final result will be like, but the broth left over was wonderful.

Just finished a good novel called Memorial. The writer, Bryan Washington, is from Houston. His collection of short stories, Lot, was recommended by Obama and a good recommendation it was.

Memorial is about a Black Houstonian, Ben, and his Japanese lover, Mike. When Mike's mother arrives, Mike returns to Japan where his father is dying. Both men have to deal with their new normal, Mike with his obstreperous dad and Ben with Mike's mother, who has moved in for the time being. Funny, sad, wise.

Speaking of wild horses, can I ask you, please, to sign this petition and stop this vruel, barbaric practice?

One of the first friends I made when I moved to Virginia was Mitt Murray, a thirty-something gay male from Delaware. When Mitt learned that I knew very few people there he suggested I meet his parents, who knew tons of people. I did so, and we became friends in our own right. One day when I was visiting them in Delaware we attended a sort of county fair at one of the local colleges. Mitt's dad said, "Ah! Joe's here." Mitt's mom said, "We'll introduce you." A few minutes later a man walked up to us and the three of them were very friendly. Mitt's parents then introduced me to Senator Joe Biden. We all chatted for a while, then Joe left to say hello to some other people.

Joe Biden is one of the most personable people I've ever met. After chatting with him for a few minutes I felt I'd known him all my life. Delaware is a small state and if you are interested in politics it is very easy to get to know the players.

Mitt's parents were so accepting and welcoming of all of Mitt's friends. If you were a friend of Mitt's you were welcome anytime. I'd never experienced any people who were so friendly and accepting. It was so clearly important to many of Mitt's gay friends who hadn't found acceptance at home. 

Mitt's parents and I stayed in touch. Several years later I'd just returned home to Virginia after my father's death here in California to learn that Mitt had passed away of AIDS. I'd been so busy taking care of my dad that I hadn't heard that Mitt was ill. It was such a shock.

During the following years some of us would get together with Mitt's parents. They loved to see us and talk to us; it was like a lifeline to their beloved son. They're gone now, too, and I do miss them. Today I'm saying a little prayer to the three of them and celebrating what they didn't live to see: Joe Biden's victory.

I'm surprised that no one's accused the Fat Orange Slug of crying wolf once too often.  His claims of calling the election a fraud began ages ago in his public masturba rallies - if I win, it's legit and if I lose, there's fraud going on - so I'm surprised by none of the crap he's pulling now.

And, of course, if there were Democrat fraud, how did Moscow McConnell and Prissy Missy Graham get re-elected?

I think I'd heard that Mitt Romney is the only one to congratulate Biden on his win.

I didn't measure the thickness of the actual flag, but THIS (https://www.michaels.com/memorial-flag-case-by-studio-decor/10032856.html) is what I bought.  It says that it's 3.3 inches deep.  I assume that that's the outside measurement.  When we put the flag in it, the back bowed out a bit, but we were able to close it up.  The frame that I got from Amazon, was a bit smaller in all dimensions, but both said that they fit a flag that's 9' x 5.5'.  Our flag didn't fit in the Amazon frame.  Fortunately, I can send that one back. :)

Great work, America!


Vibes you get it all done with time for the cigar and drink.  I want to know what they both are.

So, book packing is going.  The bottle of Makers Mark 101 needs to be opened... it may be too cold later for a cigar, but I may suck it up and go outside anyway.  That speech by Kamala and Joe was amazing... getting all emotional again.  We are in good hands.

Good Morning - and what a morning it has been!!!  Today, I expect to get some packing done.  I have a meeting to go to - now I wished I would have voted for a Zoom meeting - and my stint at church and home again for dinner, more packing and probably a celebratory drink and cigar, depends on the weather. 

Great work, America!


Vibes you get it all done with time for the cigar and drink.  I want to know what they both are.

So, book packing is going.  The bottle of Makers Mark 101 needs to be opened... it may be too cold later for a cigar, but I may suck it up and go outside anyway.  That speech by Kamala and Joe was amazing... getting all emotional again.  We are in good hands.

I don’t know the 101, but have you tried Makers 46? I loved that from the first taste.

And though I’ve never in my life been a regular smoker of anything, I do love an occasional cigar. Hmm, perhaps tomorrow, as this weather is supposed to hold for a couple of days...

I forgot Mo' Better contains some of the nastiest violence I've ever seen in a movie. Just brutal.

I have tried the 46.  I went into Total Wine looking for Eagle Rare and they were out.  The guy recommended the Makers 101 as an equivalent to Eagle Rare.  We'll see how it goes. 

I'm going to check the weather outside, I may be able to get a cigar in.  I'm usually a one every other week cigar guy, or perhaps a pipe.  Depends on the day. Smoking a pipe is a lot of work, got to be in the right mood.  So, we'll see what happens in a bit.

So, I got outside for a drink and cigar.  Cigar wasn't quite to my liking, but oh well.  Still nice outside in the crisp fall air.  I'm excited that in my new place, there is a deck area overlooking the lagoon for nights like this.  Must keep the eye on the prize!

I am glad we didn't go downtown today.

"About 200 people gathered Saturday afternoon for a “Stop the Steal” rally in support of President Donald Trump in downtown Vancouver. The rally — and car cruise that followed — was organized by Joey Gibson, founder of right-wing group Patriot Prayer. Demonstrators — some armed with handguns and rifles, and donning tactical vests and two-way radios — waved American and pro-Trump flags."

Here's a close-up:

Very nice.  How thick is it?

I didn't measure the thickness of the actual flag, but THIS (https://www.michaels.com/memorial-flag-case-by-studio-decor/10032856.html) is what I bought.  It says that it's 3.3 inches deep.  I assume that that's the outside measurement.  When we put the flag in it, the back bowed out a bit, but we were able to close it up.  The frame that I got from Amazon, was a bit smaller in all dimensions, but both said that they fit a flag that's 9' x 5.5'.  Our flag didn't fit in the Amazon frame.  Fortunately, I can send that one back. :)

Thanks for the details.

I hope you enjoyed your drink, if you opened it.  I hate to pack and am lucky to usually get someone else to do it.

Just returned from a pleasant evening eating burgers and sausages and sipping rum and cokes and basking in unseasonably warm weather on the neighbor’s deck.

Nice though I prefer my rum and coke in separate glasses.

When my sister and I were driving to our mom's house, my sister wanted to drive down there to see if anything was happening.  There was a big gathering of Trump supporters with their big pick-up truck and their big Trump flags.  We quickly turned down another street and avoided the whole thing.

So, when then numbers started going up for Biden, the song Everybody Rejoice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DL-IeMU0OE) from The Wiz started going through my head, and it really hasn't stopped! ;D

When I searched for that video on YouTube, I also found the same song from the movie soundtrack, but it seems that they renamed it.
