Climbing under a barbed wire fence By the railroad ties Climbing over the old stone wall I am bound for the riverside Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind Ponder over the crazy days of my life Just sit and watch the river flow Find a place on the riverbank Where the green rushes grow See the wind in the willow tree In branches hanging low Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind To Ponder over the crazy days in my life Watch the river flow Ease my mind and soul Where I go Well I will go to the river from time to time Wander over these crazy days in my mind Watch the river flow Where the willow branches grow By the cool rolling waters Moving gracefully and slow Child, it's lovely Let the river take it all away The mad pace, the hurry The troubles, the worries, the worries Just let the river take them all away Flow away Flow away Oh, oh

I work for the government... Ooops I mean for @BringBackFergy & @Gugny... We have a time honored saying amongst the rank and file for those guys to keep their stereotypes alive! 😉 And this gem:

He is Einstein, and brilliant geniuses are usually socially inept. Way to go Einstein! Smooth as a burlap sack.

So many to choose from... Maybe a bit serious take on society... But well done, IMO. Fits the time, even if this was uploaded 13 years ago and the lyrics. So much in it about where we've been, where we are going and how we are getting there. Even the personalities in the video of a bygone era. Human interaction, social strata, etc... You wouldn't think that a simple four and a half minute video could convey so much, but it does. Check out how many people hide from the camera... Then some ham it up. Probably someone could write a thesis on what's happening here from simple video and old home movies... Maybe it's hokey... But I find it pretty deep and telling... Today we are seeing things through the lens that has been highly altered. This just a glimpse into the many layers of society from a smaller town and more real vantage point. When it comes to a deeper appreciation, I think this video has it all... From a 3rd party too... Hope the record company never shuts it down. Uplifting... I think one of the first comments says it all: "In this Narcissistic age where everyone is infatuated with their own image, just look! People didn't want to be photographed, people weren't drunk on themselves, people did not want to be made self conscious . We need to be more like these people."

HBD Wacka!

...Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop When it all gets too heavy That's when they come and they go They go With only one thing in common They got the fire down below Yeah, it happens out in Vegas happens in Moline On the blue blood streets of Boston Up in Berkeley and out in Queens And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right...

Wait... There were shorthanded goals too? That'll do it! Look on bright side... The Golden Griffs had a long way to go to become Thailand: https://darrenbarefoot.com/2007/01/29/kazakhstan-pastes-thailand-at-the-asian-winter-games/

Dzięki za punkty! Śnieg w Karpatach był dobrej tej zimy.

That pesky 2 goal lead in hockey is the hardest lead in sports to hold.

Seriously! Good luck... Sounds spooky about the cursor. Put a piece of tape over the camera. I'd wipe the whole machine.

Please, they're called: iSheeple. "iSheeple Pathetically slavish devotees of Apple Computers who blindly embrace any product hawked by their turtle-necked tech messiah Steve Jobs. The iSheeple are, as a general rule, more interested in Apple products as fashion accessories and will buy several permutations of the same item in order to stay "current", even when that device has obvious design flaws and is liable to break under even normal usage conditions (see: iPhone 4) or cause the user actual physical harm (see: overheating Macbooks). Rather than picking the best tool for the job, iSheeple choose the Apple alternative every time, paying over the odds for a product that is not as useful as it should be (see: iPad). Ignoring well-reasoned arguments from less biased computer enthusiasts everywhere, they will never truly be convinced that Apple products are overrated. For iSheeple the mind-numbing simplicity of the various Apple operating systems is actually comforting: a real power operating system would only leave them huddled over in a corner shaking uncontrollably and sobbing that iTunes can't run their lives and tell them what to buy next anymore. More extreme iSheeple will decorate non-Apple products with the now ubiquitous fruit silhouette logo, even going so far as to have the icon tattooed onto their skin in an overwhelming display of blind conformity. Such is their unswerving quasi-religious devotion they are classed as acceptable targets and should be mocked whenever possible. Even the usually infallible Stephen Fry is a notorious Apple bore and figurehead of the irritating iSheeple masses."

He's been hacked and I don't think even Shirley knows what to do.

Oh, I saw the decade in, when it seemed the world could change At the blink of an eye And if anything Then there's your sign of the times I was alive and I waited, waited I was alive and I waited for this Right here, right now...

How did they contact you if you don't mind me asking?

How did they did they do that in 1975:

Turn around and go home! ...You've been warned ⚠️ 😬! 😆

Ooh-ooh Mister Breeze

HFBD Mike!🍻

Yo Yod... Trying IS considered doing. 😉 ESSAYONS!

My grandmother 9. First 8 all girls until #9 a boy! How'd you like to be him! Also, my cousin is older than my uncle. That means my grandmother (in her 40s) had a child after her daughter (my aunt, father's sister). This was in the 1950s...

The rank Bird #8 out of 10 here: "When the 3-point line was first introduced, only 3.1% of the total shot attempts were made from beyond the arc. In today's era, we cannot imagine a team winning a game without scoring from downtown. The significance of this shot was proved beyond any doubt when Steph Curry and Klay Thompson won the NBA championship in 2015 with 3-pointers as their main weapon. In this article, we'll take a look at the top 10 best 3-point shooters in the history of the league." https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/top-10-best-3-point-shooters-nba-history "Even if Larry Bird's 3-point percentage doesn't stand out among the rest, he was among the best shooters in the league when it came to clutch game-winning shots. He won the first-ever 3-point contest and made a name for himself with his ability to shoot highly contested, off-balance 3s. The 3-time NBA champion is regarded as one of the best NBA players of all time."

Add: Give a listen... This features Natalie Merchant. Also off "Mermaid Avenue." Earlier work:

Be careful, there could be aliens there too.

We know when it will die. Long after me. That ain't scary. My death is! Sorta... 😉

A walk in the park? "...Compared to the difficulties with studying the ocean, learning about space is a walk in the park..." So there's life on Jupiter like at the bottom of our oceans? Just like our sun... It's pretty much simpler than right next door in our oceans. We have a better understanding of Venus than the bottom of our oceans. Infinity isn't scary. Right next to us is.
