SHUT! UP! -  52 years ago today Led Zeppeln premiered II

Just to put this in context -  1969 minus 52 is 1917  LOL    SHUT THE F*CK UP   LOL

and 31 years ago today a rock band called Mookie Blaylock had their very first concert - they later changed their name to Pearl Jam.  Yea - it's true

My favorite Columbus organisation The Columbus Historical Society has a special thing happening on Halloween 

Columbus actors talk about some of the amazing history of past residents in the cemetery 

    

when on road trips we stop at small town historical societies and museums and the one we have in Columbus is OUTSTANDING!  You really need to check it out.

In my FB memories from 7 years ago today 

City Council 

Rod "if I vote yes"

City attorney "then everything stays the same" 

Rod "and if I vote no"

City attorney "then everything stays the same" 

and that is why he get paid the big bucks.  

When I was on council my buddy Elweed could imitate ever council member AND the city attorney and city engineer. It was hilarious.  Although I always had to cut his Rick Royan off for being long winded.

NHL - had literally the first losing day - not a HUGE issue but it was upside down Thursday across the board.   Totals were fine at 5-4-1  The Puck line took the brunt of the losses and Straight Up was almost even.   

NBA - VERY VERY early (need a week but testing)  2-1 ATS so far.

Upon further review - it seems ALL house construction in north eastern Wisconsin comes in about $275 a square foot for construction  - YIKES!  I believe our house in Columbus was about $150 a square foot when built.   I think we will build a TINY house in the woods  LOL

I finished book 5 of the Alex time travel adventure and HIGHLY  HIGHLY recommend it for anyone that loves alternate reality, military warfare from the past, and fantasy.   

Without giving too much away. A special forces dude finds a door in his basement behind a wall that leads to the future thousands of years from now after armageddon. The people that live there are anti-technology and cave dwellers.  But are AWESOME.  

The series explores what happens when others from the future want to  enslave, change and colonize these free, loving and spiritual people.  It's not really a "time traveling" book but he does travel in time a couple times (back and forth). 

What Shawn Inmon does is explain everything on what happened and why, so it's really fantasy explained. We have become internet friends (he traveled through Columbus a month ago).      

One of the last lines in book 5 (which he thought was the final book but it's not).  

"There is something about this world that pulls you like a magnant"  

I SO SO agree. I want to live in this spiritual, kind  utopia earth.  Mr. Inmon calls the series Apocalypse Now meets Alice in Wonderland.  It's not a children's book. 

Shawn says he is a "discovery writer" (like I am).  He says he never really has a plan until he starts typing. It's just happens.  

A Door Into Time is book one and I have never read a better storyteller.  

I've read three more of his alternate reality books and all are mind expanding adventures.  and the guy has written something like 22 books in the last 3 years since quitting his REAL job to become and author.  

Now I must get book 6 that explains The Fog that happens in book 5.  

OK - enough gushing.
