Random Notes from a Crank

"How Trump Is Ending the American Era" is a sobering article written by a guy who worked under Condoleezza Rice during Dubya's administration. He has a clear-headed analysis of the trouble we're in. 

On our drive to Philadelphia, I got to be in one state I've never been in, West Virginia. The slogan on the billboard as we entered was "Wild and Wonderful." That sounds more like an advertising phrase for some porn rather than a state's marketing slogan. 

The short amount of time we spent in West Virginia was good. The sliver of the state we passed through was quite pretty. Wheeling is an interesting city tucked in a valley alongside a river. 

Going through Wheeling made me think about the great character Chris Stevens from Northern Exposure, one of my favorite TV shows of all time. 



And that led me to a Northern Exposure wiki page about the character. Mash the link above if you're interested. 

Here are some relevant videos.





Mash HERE to watch the famous "piano fling scene."

Hey Man,

It is funny that you posted this. Steph had some ladies over the other weekend and my daughter and I were kicked out of the house for the afternoon. We holed up in my shop, lit a hot fire in the stove and I pulled out our DVD set of Northern Exposure. I introduced Veda to this great show. I now think that I will run through the series in the shop while I am working on projects. Was really a great show. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving.

Yes, I need to get those dvds. I recorded the reruns on vcr tapes back when they were being played regularly on KTVO.
