As I said before, technology is great until it ain’t. Apparently Waymo, the autonomous vehicle has had “hiccups”. Would you like to be a captive passenger when technology goes on the fritz?

Phil Collins, EASY LOVER

Easy lover
She'll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh you'll regret it

No. You'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out QUICK 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know

She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
Oh she'll say that there's no other
'Til she finds another
Better forget it
Oh you'll regret it

And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know, oh

No. Don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it

Nice choice! This was the first tune that popped into my head!

Great tune! 👍🏻

I ❤️this tune!

You were 8 minutes ahead of me….

This was my response to a member who personally reached out to me;

“I have been in and out over the last month, (mid December) give or take…. I’ve been super busy with 2 single ladies from my community. One is 87 and has memory issues coupled with hearing and vision problems (macular degeneration). The other is her 73 year old companion of almost 30 years who had a TIA prior to Christmas and at a time when her daughter had a planned vacation to Africa. As you may expect, she’s not as “sharp” as she was prior to the TIA. After the daughter returned from Africa, she promised to make arrangements to get them into an assisted living/memory care facility, which she has, and things have all come together. The daughter will be here on Friday, the 23, and (the girls) out of the community on Sunday. The plan is that they have a hotel room in Ft Myers on Sunday night with the flight out (back to Minnesota) at 6a Monday morning. Yes, I’ve been busy, busy, busy but that’s all on me because I wanted the daughter to be able to enjoy the vacation with her husband, 2 college age children and the 2 HS children and I said I could and would help.“

Also, I left Michigan for Florida early because I received word that my now 105 year old friend from church was not “doing well”. I visit her a least once every week making some type of food for her/the family (her daughter, son-in-law, grandson and part-time caregiver). As life happens, Miss Amy celebrated her 105th birthday on 12/31 while her 80 something year old son-in-law made plans to transition his wife, her daughter into hospice. Sadly, her 82 year old daughter died the next day at approximately 4:30p on 01/01/2026.

Whew! That’s good to hear that your dog recognizes you by sight, I guess I thought that they did. The video really surprised me. My cat realizes when I pull into the driveway because he meets me at the door. I’m not sure if he’s happy to see me or if he’s looking for “the opportunity” to bolt outside!

When you referred to Bud Light as being a cheap imitation, do I understand you to mean that you feel it is an inferior imitation? I was not aware that Bud Light was priced less than regular Budweiser.

What a nice “human interest” story, thank you for sharing!

The word for Tuesday, January 20, COULD

As you probably guessed, there’s a generational age gap between you and I so I really don’t “understand” the interest and excitement that anime brings to so many young people. In my little town in Michigan, the local library has created an anime club that’s well attended.

My guess is that the characters that you are obsessed with are much like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (in a very vague way) in that they have some specific “power” to which a storyline is developed.

Perhaps you could post a link to Temari and Momo so that I/we can understand what makes them so crush worthy.

Do you have an anime crush? If you do, don’t hesitate to share that with us!

Janis Joplin, MERCEDES BENZ

Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won't you BUYU me a color TV?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me
I wait for delivery each day until three
So oh Lord, won't you BUY me a color TV?

Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down
Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a night on the town?
Everybody!

Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So oh Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?
That's it!

Oh, so you didn’t boycott Bud Light after the “incident” featuring Dylan Mulvaney?

Will those instructions work with an iPhone or only on a computer because I only have an iPhone.

Question for anyone proficient with an iPhone and attempting to do a reverse search on a potential internet pics. How in the heck do you do so? Thank you.

Toto/AFRICA

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some QUIET conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The Guess Who, NO SUGAR TONIGHT/NEW MOTHER NATURE

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

In the silence of her mind
QUIET movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow-dat'n-doo-dow
Dat'n-doo-dow dow

Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Jocko said "No" when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

(Lonely feeling) Jocko says "Yes" and I believe him
(Deep inside) When we talk about the things I say
(Find a corner) She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
(Where I can hide) When they're standing in each other's way
(Silent footsteps) You're tripping back now to places you've been to
(Crowding me) You wonder what you're gonna find
(Sudden darkness) You know you've been wrong and it won't be long
(But I can see) Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new mother nature taking over
It's the new splendid lady come to call
It's the new mother nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Nice choice!

From what I’ve seen on YouTube, these haircuts are $100 plus. Just my opinion, the haircut is/was not all he needed for a transformation. Dude needs to work on his “smile”.

If I drink, my “go to” choices are Michelob Ultra OR white wine. I lean toward the sweeter wines like Reisling or my favorite, Piesporter.

The Rolling Stones, SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of DOUBT and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, hit it

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Um mean it, get down

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name

Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who

Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name

Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Oh, yeah

James Gang, WALK AWAY

Taking my time
Choosin' my line
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you

SEEMS to me
You don't want to talk about it
SEEMS to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

Places I've known
Things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got myself in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' ta doubt you

SEEMS to me
Talk all night, here comes the mornin'
SEEMS to me
You just forget what we said
And greet the day

SEEMS to me
You don't wanna talk about it
SEEMS to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

I've got ta cool myself down
Stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
Meet ya half way
Got nothin' to say
Still I don't s'pose I can blame ya

SEEMS to me
You don't want to talk about it
SEEMS to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

Walk away

Foreigner, JUKE BOX HERO

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure

That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started rockin'
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke BOX hero
He took one guitar, juke BOX hero, stars in his eyes
Juke BOX hero, he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke BOX hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes
He's just a juke BOX hero, aah aah aah
Juke box hero, juke BOX hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes

Rod Stewart, HOT LEGS

Who's that knocking on my door?
It's gotta be a quarter to four
Is it you again coming 'round for more?
Well you can love me tonight if you want
But in the morning make sure you're gone
I'm talkin' to you
Hot legs
Wearing me out
Hot legs
You can SCREAM and shout
Hot legs
Are you still in school?
I love you honey

Gotta most persuasive tongue
You promise all kinds of fun
But what you don't understand
I'm a working man
Gonna need a shot of vitamin E
By the time you're finished with me
I'm talking to you
Hot legs
You're an alley cat
Hot legs
You scratch my back
Hot legs
Bring your mother too
I love you honey

Imagine how my daddy felt
In your jet black suspender belt
Seventeen years old
He's touching sixty four

You got legs right up to your neck
You're making me a physical wreck
I'm talking to you
Hot legs
In your satin shoes
Hot legs
Are you still in school?
Hot legs
You're making me a fool
I love you honey

Hot legs
Making your mark
Hot legs
Keep my pencil sharp
Hot legs
Keep your hands to yourself
I love you honey
Hot legs
You're wearing me out
Hot legs
You can SCREAM and shout
Hot legs
You're still in school
I love you honey!

Nice to see you again!

Janis Joplin, ME & BOBBY MCGEE

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
I was feeling near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers SLAPPING time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now
And feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done
Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold

One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
And feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la

La La la, la la la la la la
La La la la la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah

Lord, I called him my lover, I called him my man
I said called him my lover just the best I can and come on
And and a Bobby oh, and a Bobby McGee yeah
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo
Hey hey hey Bobby McGee, lord
La da la la la, la da la la la la la
Hey hey hey, Bobby McGee yeah

Duran Duran, GIRLS ON FILM

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright
Then walk right out to the four-line track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine

Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
In miles of SHARP blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
'Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again

Girls on film (Two minutes later)

Girls on film (Got your picture)

Wider baby smiling you've just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star

Girls on film (She's more than a lady)
