The Iberian Peninsula has been Spain's hangout out since Visogothic times.
Sorry, I was never good at geometry. Or something.

It's curious that Roy's Vision of "the shoulder of Orion" was from an Earth perspective. There's millions of light-years distance from what we see here and between the stars.
Cassiopeia, 5 stars that look like a 'W' from here, might look like an LGBTFQ from another angle.
Doubtful.

I didn't intend to, but things happen. I didn't let it run my life.
My Dad was sterile. Probably the WWII shots. Neither my Dad or mother had Slavic origins.
But my dad did, and he was pleased to find out that that he's 0% Chinese and 0% negro.
That shit wasn't around while my dad was extant. Dad always said that he was going to have the 2.5 kids the Goob wanted.
There was my older sister, me and the 0.5, of my late sister Carol, Down's Syndrome.
I doubt that you're going to out cynical me, but keep trying.

Being near-sighted I'm having to squint just to barely glimpse small breasts, let alone distant stars! But, that's really a minor deduct since they've really improved breast enhancement !

No, not so much anything that would've given her a hand-up like that.
She was pretty fucked-up, probably never had much more capabilities than a 2 y/o.
I spent the last 15 or so years taking care of a dying family. Carol was costing the taxpayers about a third of a million a year after I had to have Mom put to sleep in hospice.
I saved y'all a bunch of bux, throwing my life away being a hero.
I'll always regret that. I'm too old and banged up to have a life now.

It's not at all like when younger and working two jobs. Concert security was the second job. You had to be pretty tough to do that and I got to kick a lot of ass and throw out some real jerks. I even had to have a few arrested.
One time when working Dokken at the Vic Theater, I was doing the after show party. There were two guys there who were Dokken freaks. I was looking after one of them. I turn and the other has Dokken pinned against the wall. He is looking over at me like, "Help!"
I got them both out of there, "Alright, you got to meet the band. time to go home."
Then here was this chick leaning against the pillar. Dokken picked up her top and signed across her chest right above her hooters.
We were walking down the stairs together. Dokken stopped and turn to me and said, "Do you know what her boyfriend said to me? He said, "Go ahead, man. She's good." Then Dokken said, "I don't think so. What would you do?"
I said, "You know what I would do? I would go and get my Don Dokken mask."
We got them all on the bus. The driver closed the door. The Dokken came back up front and had the driver open the door. He cane off the bus and shook my hand and thanked me personally.
Now that was real class. The last thing he said was, "Get some sleep." Sleep was kind of scarce in those days. ;)

I thought they were likely Japanese. My dad went to Japan when he was in the army. He liked it but said he'd never eat rice since the Japs used human shit to grow it.
The rice growing and the fact that he was a medic was all he ever mentioned to me about his military service.
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. "
Things happen for a reason. My sister has a daughter, my niece, that has never walked, or talked and she's in her 30s. The interesting thing of note is how sometimes God makes sure that those less fortunate in one respect are more fortunate in others, and my niece is so very fortunate to have the love and care most of us will never experience faithfully tendered to her by my little sister.
Another part of that whole God works in mysterious ways thing is that my little sister was a wild ass in her youth and having her daughter made her into a settled parent and caring mom. A miracle and later she married a wonderful guy (not the baby daddy) that has taken on the responsibilities of fatherhood with the same kind of dedication. I love that guy as if he were my brother.
All I can say is that once I realized how insignificant I am it made it much easier for me to let God take responsibility for everything because it's all His, and then take care of the mess here on planet earth. Of course we can pitch in to assist and should do so, but in the end this creation belongs to God and life becomes less confusing when we recognize the ownership of ALL THINGS even our children.
And, by the way, my sister says that Katie, her handicapped daughter is HER BEST KID !

Yeah, those were the days ! I'll bet you had a lot of fun ... and I used street pharmaceuticals to insure that I didn't sleep in those days ! (Didn't want to miss anything !)

We were working a concert at the Vic Theater. They were searching girl's purses at the front door. One girl opened her purse and a vial popped up.
One of the guys on the crew grabbed it. The cop walked over. He said, "Let's have it." He unscrewed the cap and poured it all out on the sidewalk. He told the girl, "Don't cry. You're not going to jail tonight."
I saw him when I was on washroom break. I said to him, "Hey! I heard about what happened at the front door. Next time, think of the crew."
He was laughing. He knew we were all party animals. ROTFLMAO!

That's head banger music. We worked shows like that at Medusa's. It was a juice bar on Sheffield about a mile south of Wrigley Field. It was on 2nd floor and a long flight of stairs down to the street.
It was usually a pretty young crowd, that was why no alcohol.
One night I grabbed this guy for trying to get onstage. He was pretty wild going out with his arms raised up. When they are out of control, you cannot get them down that flight of stairs.
I got him out the door at top of stairs. I tried to take his leg out. It didn't work. So I reversed it. I slipped him into a Half Nelson and grabbed his right arm. I moved him over 5 or 6 feet and thumped his head on the wall by entrance to the ladies room. That brought him down a few notches.
Do you know what he said to our guy at the bottom of the stairs? "Where is the nearest liquor store." That would have been Brown Derby a block south.
Al was sitting there taking tickets. He said to me, "Tex, he was a big boy. You really manhandled him."
When you get thumped like that you generally remember it. But he might have gotten too drunk to remember anything. ROTFLOL

You should see the crap I pull in public when someone starts coughing. I point my finger like Donald Sutherland in “The Invasion of The Body Snatchers” and screech COVID!!!!
Of course, I am the one without the mask and so everyone looks at me like I’m a prick. Then if I clear my throat or something I mutter “Covid” under my breath.
Stutterin’ Joe will use that whole, “WE GOTTA PROTECT US OLD PEOPLE MAN FROM THE THING, THE THING, YOU KNOW...”

I don’t know how many people I have on my bozo list. All I know is all the posts I see are from people I’d have a beer with and or make fun of other people with if we went to a mall.

Well man, Esso and I were discussing hypothetically about being able to have and enjoy a sit down, a bullshit session, and a last minute party before Esso expires ! (Ha !)
I have truly enjoyed your humorous sarcasm and directness about real shit going down in our neighborhoods for many years here on 4UM. (I haven't had the pleasure of people growing corn in their front yards here but I'm looking forward to it after you so wonderfully documented it).
At any rate I would like to meet and know those on 4UM that haven't joined antifa yet just for the chance to possibly change their minds ! Hahahaha ! Just shittin around !

It may have been other things combining with that post but I swear as soon as I glanced it I busted up. Maybe it's just imaging the fucking morons wearing their baby diaper PROUDLY ! I don't know, but I do like to laugh !
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. "
Let’s hope that Esso is here long enough for that to happen. Would like to meet a bunch from here and toast our freedoms what are left of them.

I don’t know. If Donald Trump can marry some model from the Eastern Bloc and survive that and Covid, you probably have enough fight in you.
