re: My son just dropped his first country EP on all platforms
Posted by TheOtherSide on 6/30/24 at 10:56 am
Downloaded it from iTunes and will listen to it in different locations and conditions such as while in traffic. I just played it watching the Austrian Grand Prix with the TV muted.
I like the cover image. It relates well with the song titles and lyrics.
"Sit by the fire". Nice song. When I was listening through the first time I went to song number 5, "Sit by the fire". Almost compelled to go there after listening to songs 1&2.
The electric guitar parts were good.
The girl singing on "What is Love" has a very nice voice. Didn't expect it when she started to sing. It is also a very nice song. A Good song. The music, not lyrics, reminds me of 'All Along the Watchtower' written by Bob Dylan and also recorded by Jimi Hendrix.
Three times through the five songs and starting on number four. Once familiar with it, I like it more each time. I have been listening to progressive rock for the past two weeks and do not have much range.
First song. Please change the word interstate with the word highway.
I am going to pass it on to my middle child. I think that she will like it. She is 33.

re: Your list of essential late 60's/70's prog albums
Posted by TheOtherSide on 6/23/24 at 11:48 am
I am still trying to make a list responding to the OP. My brain cannot simplify much of anything in a very nonconstructive way. It is as if I entered a rabbit hole with pathways designed by the Baton Rouge department of public works.
Saw Gentle Giant in 1972 at the LSU PMAC in Baton Rouge and did not know who they were. I was in 10th grade at the time. My older brother and one of his friends were going to see Jethro Tull and asked if I wanted to ride along. A girlfriend of mine had given me Aqualung for Christmas of 1971 because I had borrowed her brother's copy and had about worn it out.
Until recently, I have always thought that the opening band was Ballin' Jack.
Jethro Tull Setlist' It was the Thick as a Brick tour. Full album followed by a folloow-up of the listed Aqualung+ songs .
Clearest sounding concert that I ever attended.

Gentle Giant is quite unknown and that is sad, because that was a truly awesome prog-rock band.

re: Raccoons…update
Posted by TheOtherSide on 6/11/24 at 1:08 pm
I got rid of about 24 raccoons that were eating a lot of bird food that I had put out for birds and squirrels. The raccoons were pulling on my windows and trying to burrow through my doors all night.
There are recipes on line for using peppermint oil.
1. Quit feeding anything that does not require it. In other words keep feeding dogs, chickens and homeless people.
2. I ordered Peppermint Oil from Amazon.
3. Mix the peppermint oil with warm water and some Dawn in a 2-liter soda bottle. Look up recipes for it on line. I just mixed it arbitrarily. Start with the water if you do not want excessive bubbles.
4. Spray or pour around buildings, openings, sills, etc. You do not want to walk through it or it will track through your house and vehicles.
Sorry for the caps: DO NOT MIX IT IN YOUR HOUSE OR POUR IT ANYWHERE THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO SMELL PEPPERMINT FOR HALF A YEAR.
The raccoons were gone after several days. I gained 2-4 hours of extra sleep every night.
One of my daughters who lives out of state and I have had dreams in the past month of raccoons invading my house. Mine was a nightmare with me screaming while plastered on my back in the bed.
I currently do not have any raccoons, opossums or rats around the house or storage room.

re: Copper Leaf Guards for Copper Gutters
Posted by TheOtherSide on 6/10/24 at 1:24 pm
Commercial or residential?
For the Baton Rouge area:
The following contractors have done a lot of the Ludowici clay tile roofs with copper flashing, gutters and downspouts at LSU that have included leave guards.
1. Partin Roofing.
2. Roofing Solutions.
3. Roof Technologies.
When the gutters do not have screening/mesh or whatever, people who have to service the roofs and gutters complain and want it installed.

I agree. The firearms training for most people must come from watching Star Wars. Please aim first. The worst thing that I see in movies is someone dodging shots after they have been fired.

I liked the movie. See it! We spend more money on an order of fries than the cost of a ticket and the time spent on here could have spent watching the movie and deciding for yourself what you think the movie was about.
Please excuse my random unfocused comments below and do not read them if you cannot live with my dumpster fire of disorganize thought. I have been writing like a second grader since 1st or 2nd grader. You will not find a conclusion that relates to the non-existent introduction.
Introduction…
Regarding the movie. It appears that Texas and California individually have succeeded from the Union and either form individual counties or City States.
See the following map with a legend at the bottom: Map
The divided states are indicated on the map in color:
Blue - Loyalist states (United States) from the northeast down to South Carolina, across the central band of states over to the border of California. It also includes Alaska and Hawaii. See the map.
Green - Western Forces. Texas and California.
Red - Florida Alliance. From Florida over to the Louisiana/Texas border.
Yellow - New People's Army. The northwest.
I am assuming that president of the U.S.A. wanted to force Texas and California back in line. With that action the two former states formed the Wester Forces under the banner of a US style flag with multiple red and white stipes and a blue field with two stars.
In real life I believe the two-star flag will probably become a big seller if made available for sale, symbolizing a belief in state rights through individual republics. 10th amendment.
The journalists serve as the eyes of the story. Early in the movie they are in New York but want to travel to Washington D.C. to photograph and interview the president. The comment made while discussing going to see the president is that they will be put to death if they go to the D.C. I think by the Loyalists military, secret service or whatever group is in charge.
I have read reviews on IMDB that state that the big bad president represents Trump. Once again, I say to look at the map. The Union states are indicated on the map in blue. Not that Trump is not from New York.
Just my observation of the movie regarding the forces that are fighting the U.S. forces. All the trained military type of personal do an amazing job of respecting and protecting the main four press character in the movie. They created shields many times, pull them back to safety, etc. It was impressive. I realize that their presence complicates movements and safety for the soldiers. Once again, impressive!
Note that the press characters are only reporting, not siding with anyone. Of the four main characters, only two survive.
The male reporter’s reason for going was for a quote from the president. His comment regarding the president’s quote says that he held an opinion or attitude about the president, and I thought that quote and reaction from the reporter was…perfect.
I thought that the young character who wanted to join the original group of three reporters served well in the representation of her ignorance and naivete of what the reality of blatant destruction and death in warfare was. Very young for the position or action she wanted to be in. She also was not a carded member of the press, but I have never seen a credential required in our constitution. Later she got a rush being in the middle of the center of battle. She was also protected by the military personal and the three other press members. She was yanked out of the line of fire multiple times.
My biggest tangent is below, but it has in the past few decades been the biggest cause of issues or disagreements between individuals, states, and the federal government. If something is not a federal power established by the constitution, then each state or individual have been constitutionally empowered. Also note the first word in the first amendment, Congress, has a comma in it. Besides changes caused by the U.S. Supreme Court rulings, the first amendment as written left a lot of power regarding speech and religion to the states. I am not sure what I believe regarding that. Some of the boundaries probably helped. If by the first amendment there is a separation of church and state, is the not a separation of press and state?
Tenth Amendment
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
The four last words of the Tenth Amendment, “or to the people.” still leads me to believe that there is some source of power that the people have other town halls and voting.
Conclusion…See the last sentence of the second paragraph. And go see the movie!

re: 87% of Taylor swift photos have her mouth open
Posted by TheOtherSide on 2/7/24 at 7:36 pm
Taylor Swift might have a deviated septum. A deviated septum is when "Your septum is cartilage and bone that divides the inside of your nose into two sides. When your septum leans to one side, it can block your airway."
It's a big reason for mouth breathing. Especially if you have a large lung volume.
I had surgery at Ochsner in New Orleans for a deviated septum when I was 16 hoping to reduced constant swollen and often infected tonsils.
A year later a different ENT at Ochsner that was checking me for tonsillitis and surgery said, Oh! You have a deviated septum." I told him that I already had surgery for that. He asked, "When was that?" I said a year ago. He asked, Who was the surgeon?" I told him the surgeon's name and his reply was, "Hum!"
I at least had an amusing response from the intern that gave me my physical before the tonsillectomy surgery. After he had me cough while checking my testicles, I guess for a hernia. He said, "Fascinating!"
In her own way, Taylor might also be fascinating.
