My google map announced, “SPEED TRAP AHEAD” on I-80 every time I came up on a cop parked ahead. Wish I had that type of technology in the past :wink:

The tech was there just different. CB radios were the thing back then. Driving through Iowa City Iowa on 80 was always the worst. Home to Iowa State Police. Seemed they sat there every few miles waiting for their shifts to end.

I know that area well. I picked up a few tickets going through there heading back to DSM.

My earwig for the day and it brings back a very specific memory. I had just taken on hurricane ivan (no, I refuse to capitalize it) and the power had been out about 3 or 4 days. After the sun set, the only thing to do was sit inside a dark house with nothing but a flashlight or candle and listen to the local AM station for news and updates. Well, at one point, the DJ decided to be a DJ (or had to go take a nature break) and put on this song I had never heard before. The first music I heard in what seemed like forever. Sitting there in the dark, sweating… I mean grooving to this tune and I realized that life really wasn’t that bad. I never knew who that was running the show at the radio station that evening, but I would like to think that he was responsible for about half of the hurricane-weary residents within the broadcast area suddenly getting up and dancing a jig :crazy_face:

I am going through the EuroVision finalists and associated geo-political influences to build a reliable book.

Through all, one stood out (for the music and not the chance) due to being Like a camp Laibach:

I will not comment on the earworms and cues in the further song - It may adversely affect others.

As it is a holiday which ends with a slightly tall tale, I decided to have many such raconteur’s regurgitations as my background:

This collection has the pilot to start and then all 12 of the main sinister stories.

I have been listening to Nebulous while having a lazy Easter Sunday.

Hopefully, this video will last a bit longer than others I share: It seems that whenever I post a radio drama that’s not in currently available elsewhere, the YouTube Gremlin, Trevor, purges them. Thank Bod for having a private cloud and enough to listen to for the next hundred years.

This song is very interesting. I have to admit, it weirded me out a little on my first listen, but it really is a masterpiece in the end.

Pulse - Pink Floyd

The album is notable for including a complete live version of The Dark Side of the Moon . It also features “Astronomy Domine”, a Syd Barrett song not performed since the early 1970s. The track “Another Brick in the Wall, Part II” features small portions of the songs “Another Brick in the Wall, Part I”, “The Happiest Days of Our Lives” and “Another Brick in the Wall, Part III”.

After watching a film so inept that I have sworn off Hollywood creations for a few years, I decided to have a week of audiobooks to listen to before bed.

The first is my favourite alternative history novel: Fatherland. This history’s alteration has Germany winning WW2 but a ‘drowning’ case leads to the hidden conspiracy surrounding the Holocaust.

Richard Matheson’s I am Legend. I always enjoy it as it is a tale well worth exploring in depth, though no adaptation has come close to it as yet. From the despair of loneliness and sexual frustration to pondering whether the cross will work on a Jewish vampire - it is a tale worthy of a whole series.

The other evenings were rounded off with a few of Pratchett’s inspired works of cognitive and literary lunacy. This time, it was Small Gods, Thud, Jingo, and Mort.

You got ‘weirded out’ by this?!

I encounter people who make him look tame each time I go out.

This just shows a clear thought process and lacks any word salad.

I just checked the news for today and found that Harry Belafonte had passed.

I think I may update a few blends based on his songs and watch Beetlejuice before bed.
