    You know you are getting old when:

    When everyone seems to have those Monday-thru-Sunday-breakfast-lunch-dinner plastic pill organizer thingies.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Are regional U.S. accents fading away? I’m concerned that they are being replaced by Hollywood English.

    Tramp Steamers

    “Abandon ship!” Seems to have a new meaning. Over 2000 sailors and 150 ships were abandoned last year. Pretty crazy. Truly a horrific story. Everyone claims it’s not their jurisdiction, I guess...

    Who says Germans can’t do rap music???

    You know you are getting old when:

    I have a friend who is a professor at a well known university. One day he is walking across campus and sees a very attractive undergrad. She catches his eye and comes towards him. He is thinking “I’m so busted. She saw me checking her out. I’m gonna catch hell.” What she says is: “Doctor...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    ^^^ I think I like the idea of the UK starting a little war with Colombia over a hoard of sunken Spanish treasure. It’s The romantic in me. (And one small additional war will hardly be noticed.) As for Oxford vs Cambridge; I just call them Oxbridge and am done with it. :)

    Oumuamua

    Does this qualify as evidence of, well, something? I had not heard of this Medical Records angle. So, John Burroughs was one of those guys who got up close and personal to a UFO during the famous Rendlesham Forest incident in the U.K. Apparently that encounter made him very sick. For years Mr...

    "Man's Carelessness in Dress"

    Here in Hawaii, if a man wears long trousers and an Aloha shirt, that is considered to be dressing up. Thats what I usually wear. Most guys normally wear shorts, tshirts, and baseball caps. I am quite pleased with our church, which is thriving. And only half the congregation are senior...

    I’m always astounded to see how YOUNG people look. “Really, you are the pilot of this aircraft? You look like you are about 18 years old.” Of course, I knew I was in trouble when I had professionals working on my staff who were born after 2000. (All the while, remembering that my generation...

    "Man's Carelessness in Dress"

    The first paragraph of that article is certainly as true today as it was in 1913. My wife and I often comment on couples we see in public: She is often well put-together and fashionable; he often looks as if he is still 12 years old and coming straight from the playground.

    Better to be 20 in the 70s than 70 in the 20s.

    Adventure update on the status of the Holy Grail of Shipwrecks. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nn983qmepo What a treasure! What a story! Speaking of real life adventures, take a moment to read this gentleman’s story...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Amen, brother. AND the plane was prominently featured in Tales of the Gold Monkey! (I still can’t believe I’m living in a world without Jimmy Buffett.)

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Interesting bit of WWII aviation news…

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My wife buys tons of crap on Amazon. Primarily because it is so damned easy to do… and then it’s delivered right to your door. Could not be easier. There ought to be a law. :)

    Steven Spielberg to release new UFO movie in 2026

    That unrelated Frank Sinatra project mentioned in the Variety article also sounds interesting. Don’t know about DiCaprio playing old blue eyes, but I suppose I could be convinced. Don’t know why Spielberg is so interested in flying saucers, but a lot of people are, myself included. Mostly, I...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I sympathize. I also prefer cash transactions and I usually carry an assortment of coins so that I can pay to the penny (thus avoiding receiving piles of change at the end of most transactions). So far I have not been rejected for wanting to pay cash… but I have received heartfelt sighs and...

    The “Close Encounters” creator is about to jump into the topic of Alien Visitors again. The secretive New project has a release date of May 15, 2026. Both the title and the plot are as yet unknown. We do know that Steven Spielberg is very interested in UFOs and has been following the latest...
