There were a lot of British groups I liked in the 60s and in that time became a huge fan of Eric Clapton still am

The Beatles not so much sacrilege I know. The Dave Clark Five were on one of my favorite lists as well just Petula Clark was first thing that came to my mind. Another favorite was Dave Mason but when Disco came about I got stuck in a rut and kept listening to 60s early 70s music still do

Was I supposed to ignore this good educational piece and edit out part of it?

Yep on the edit.

Would have been easy to do...and added nothing to the point of the opinion piece you quoted. Now off of my soapbox.

 

[wngsprd]

Yeah, I preferred Dave Clark too...and old Fleetwood Mac (when Peter Green was still a member)

Ditto...and Bob Welch.

Rainy, breezy and cool today.

I also like DC 5, Cyrkle, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, Jan and Dean, then The Troggs, Cream, Yardbirds, Animals... to name a very few.
I didn’t care if they were British or American.
Gotta go to rehab, check in later.

 

[Buppies]

The British Invasion as it was called a lot of copying Elvis and the like very successful

 

[toppop52]

OK, rehab cancelled.

I was self employed for 37 years, will power had less to do with it than survival sometimes.

bowl of oatmeal, fresh turmeric, black pepper, kale (3 min in IP), flaxseed and blueberries

interesting, oats are always good for you, (my favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin) I already take a turmeric pill for arthritis, love black pepper and use it on most foods,
kale I need to find a way to hide it in something, like a meatloaf. Already eat lots of blueberries, mostly on Kashi cereal. Flaxseed I'm unfamiliar with.
I wonder if that would taste better if something sweet was in it, healthy sweet. Blueberries add a little. Perhaps fresh sliced strawberries. But blueberries
have great ingredients that are known good for us. Anti cancer ingredients.

Don, do they have a vegan cooking club there? I bet that would be fun. I would think a high percentage of vegans
also prefer organic food.
.

Drew, I buy whole flax seed and grind (in bullet blender) enough up for two weeks, about 2 cups and put it in the refrigerator. You should not buy flaxseed that is already ground. Learned this from the Century Heart study. I sprinkle about 2 tablespoons on oatmeal, or put in cookies, potatoes, beans etc.

They have an alternate healing club here but after talking with them they are more of a fad diet club and do not subscribe to science based research. Even the most knowledgeable organic gardener smokes and the social meal for work day in the organic gardens is hotdogs. You don't have to look far to find why there are so many widows here. The one vegan I do know here from a previous town getogether before we moved here was more concerned about gluten than saturated fat. To me Gluten is just a distraction to real nutritional facts. I feel I'm in college and I'm not ready to repeat kindergarten. The population is similar to TBN - no way to give up animal products and still have a social life - just too hard. To me my heart disease is stopped as long as I stay plant based. The PET scans over 5 years showed no progression. It's been 9 years since my heart attack and my Cardiologist is on board with me. Had an echo done last week and my EF was 65%. ( it was 35% after my heart attack.)

I'll be glad when DST gets here this weekend. The wall clock will then better sync with my biological clock.

36 degrees this morning, going for a sunny 66 today. Yesterday, I left my wife to spend the night with the younger of our two daughters. Gotta go get her about 10:30 a.m. this morning. And while I wasn't doing anything else after breakfast this morning, I went ahead and reset 9 clocks. So it's a couple of days early, and that'll give her something to gripe about.:laughing:

Good Morning!!!! 49F @ 5:45AM. A mix of clouds and sun early followed by cloudy skies this afternoon. High 67F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph.

Huh! I thought These Boots Were Made For Walkin' was a Petula Clark song, but it turns out Nancy Sinatra put out the '60s version. It's been covered by a lot of artists since. A lot of great music came out in the late '60s and early '70s; not so much since...

Most of us here are old enough to remember the Polio vaccine. I was only five or six and I remember standing in a long lone to get it. I don't remember if it was free or not, but I know it wasn't administered at the doctor's office. If CoVid-19 really takes off, and they can get a vaccine going for it, maybe something similar will happen.

FWIW, Don's Ezekiel bread comes in a flax seed version; there's some in my refrigerator now and it's not bad.

What's so special about kale? Some say it's high in oxalate, others say no.:confused2:

I'm excited about the drone delivery today too, Wng. But the weather gods seem to be conspiring to keep it in the box for a while. I've been watching "how not to crash or lose your drone" videos, and it seems the light weight of the Mini make it vulnerable to being blown away by the wind. Maybe I should have gone Jay's route and wumped up my own sky-borne Cuisinart?:laughing: Tomorrow will be showery and windy; all these dry days and all I had to do was buy a drone and it starts raining!:confused3:

Videoed the electrical and propane trenches yesterday, but forgot to video the one for the shipping container drain. And that's the only one I got filled yesterday. Used all the ballast gravel, which has almost no fines in it, to fill the trench, so I'll get good drainage through the rock and into the perforated pipe, sort of like a French drain. That meant I had to remove all the spoil that came out of the trench, as it was chock full of all sizes of rocks. That made for heavy shoveling, which some would call good exercise. :laughing: But it took a lot longer that way, and I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped.

The propane trench is job one to get filled today, so I'm trying not to set my sights too high.

TGIF gang!:drink:
