And proud of it.

It does my heart good to see that there is a younger generation coming behind us that looks to have the same inherent wild streak I grew up with.

Too Rolling Stoned was released in 1974 on The Bridge Of Sighs album and Robin Trower was born in 1945.

He is still touring.

If you are a fucking Oil Executive.

Saw this in downtown Vancouverstan on my way home from work.

I had to go around the block to get a clear picture.

Notice they don’t even have diesel.

It would be over $7 a gallon at those rates.

Illinois pauses redistricting effort after Supreme Court ruling

(The Center Square) – Illinois has paused a legislative redistricting effort after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday, but Gov. J.B. Pritzker promises that Illinois will push back.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s congressional map and ruled that racial gerrymandering is unconstitutional.

Professor Jason Mazzone, director of the program in Constitutional Theory, History, and Law at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, said the decision imposes a very significant limitation on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

“The court came as close to holding Section 2 unconstitutional as it possibly could have come without taking that final fatal step. The ruling will radically impact elections all over the country,” Mazzone told The Center Square.

Mazzone said majority minority districts, whether created because of a court order or because states thought the Voting Rights Act required them, will disappear.

He said the short-term effect is likely to be chaos.

Snip

Pritzker said the high court ruling is an abomination.

“It is an attack on a crown jewel of our democracy,” Pritzker said.

Pritzker spoke at an unrelated event in Chicago on Wednesday.

“We’re not going to stand for it in Illinois. We’re going to push back. We have options for pushing back,” he said.

Pritzker suggested that the Senate could introduce new language and send it back to the House.

The fact that Pritsker has his panties twisted tells you all you need to know.

Like I need an excuse.

The King of England shows up and not one single No Kings protest.

Funny that.

Now that it’s over…

She strikes again!

If you grew up in the 60’s and 70’s like I did, watching Saturday Morning Cartoons was a ritual.

My all time favorite by a wide margin was The Roadrunner.

The crazy antics of Wyle E. Coyite trying to catch the clever and endlessy lucky Roadrunner to have for dinner are legendary.

Well apparently Warner Brothers went through all the time and expense to make a half animated movie about the Coyote suing the manufacturer of all the insane gizmos he used that somehow either malfuntion or work perfectly at the wrong time, ACME and then canned it.

Whoever the genius behind that decision was obviously listens to Jim Cramer for financial advice.

That was in 2023.

According to the trailer that just came out, some outfit called Ketchup Entertainment bought the rights to the film and have announced it’s debut on August 28th.

According to the stats I just looked up, Gen X, the people who grew up during the years The Roadrunner was originally broadcasted through,1966-1973, number about 65 million.

Technically, being born in 1960 myself, I am a Boomer but I was 100% raised like the Gen X’rs. and have everything thing in common with them.

So someone decided that a movie specifically made for a target audience with 65 million potential customers wasn’t a good idea.

The people at Ketchup Entertainment are about to show them just how wrong they were.

That’s what this guy said to me after I asked him if I could post a picture of his beater on my Blog.

I don’t even know what kind it is but it’s like 4 different colors and he told me he paid $300 for it at an auction.

I’m betting he has more than that into it just in the decorations on the hood.

So did several people in the waiting room.

I bought it just for her.

She said she needed to get one for her husband.
