Re: I can't stand the blues

I might have mentioned it before, but Milwaukee has an interesting connection to pre-war blues. There is a town called Grafton, which is at the top of Milwaukee County. Grafton was the home of the Wisconsin Chair Company. They made furniture, including phonograph cabinets, and decided cheaply produ...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

I saw a video on youtube maybe 7 or 8 years ago that showed a guy who swam into the Niagara River a few miles away from me. His buddy had gone into the swirling currents to grab a piece of driftwood - they made furniture out of driftwood. I might have done the same thing myself. Anyway, the first gu...

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

There are a couple of old lift bridges around me. Not sure if they are still operational, but I remember as a kid in the 70s seeing the bridges lift up to allow large boats to pass by. I had nightmares about them for years. I'd wake up from dreams where I was falling into the water a couple hundred ...

Terrifying. My Mom just texted me about it. Looks just like the Peace Bridge 12 minutes away from me. :cry:

Re: I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

These days, I keep my door locked unless I'm expecting company or working in the yard. The gas station around the corner, 250 steps away from me, gets robbed at gunpoint every year or so, but I'm not particularly worried about anyone breaking into my house. I've just gotten into the habit of lockin...

Re: movies

Let us know if you ever need one of us to come bail you out of jail, K. ;) Thanks buddy. Luckily, Ma Kimmelweck (not for the first time) probably kept me from spending a night in the slammer. :mrgreen: (Seriously though, we really should have an IMCT bail fund. :shifty: ) I actually just saw Dune 1...

Re: movies

Anyone seen the new Dune movies? I missed seeing Dune 1 in the theatre in 2021, but I watched it on DVD a couple times, and then went yesterday to our local AMC theatre for Dune 2 with my parents. I'm a huge Dune fan, and after waiting decades for a remake, I wasn't disappointed. I actually love the...

And also, I love Ric Ocasek but Benjamin Orr was seriously underrated.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR0j7sModCI When I saw "Billy Squier", my first thought was "Hey, that guy went to my high school!". But then I remembered that, no, it was Billy Sheehan that went to my high school. Whatever, I get my Billys mixed up. 6 of one Billy, half a dozen of the other Billy....

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?

I've been listening to my local FM classical music radio station, and they've been doing a "John Williams Weekend" for the last couple days. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., First Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, Superman , etc. The list goes on. My parents had the vinyl Star Wars soundtrack when ...

Re: Wildlife Encounters

We only know of two incidences where a mouse traveled above the basement, and that's because one of the cats got 'em. I don't think I've ever seen a mouse at my current house - I've lived here for about 24 years. I remember setting a few snap traps in my parents' basement when I was around 13. Kill...
