Happy New Year!!!!!!!

My New Year’s Celebration tonight consists of Rogue Brewing Dead Guy Ale and The Los Angeles Kings at the Calgary Flames.

That being said, Missus ORPO and I send Best Wishes for an Outstanding New Year!

I wish The Captain and MSGT Buck were still here………….Yeah, I miss both of them. So I did have a little toast to both of our dearly departed friends……………………………gettin dusty in here all of a sudden.

A year gone by

It still hurts at times.

Among The Joshua Trees

It was around this time last year when we lost the Exile in Portales, Norman “Buck” Pennington……………………………….

I sure do miss my friend……………………………………….

Becoming The Perfect Parasite

 

When it comes to consumer electronics, I have to say that I have traditionally been not on the leading edge, but the bleeding edge. Ya know, the classic definition of the pioneer is the one who has the arrows in the back.

I tend to wait….and wait while others are buying the latest gizmo.  Never bought a laserdisk player, for example.

Although I’ll have to say I picked a Sony Betamax as a VCR because I read that the technology was superior to the VHS (it was) but that came down to marketing and  letting others make the hardware.

Sorta like the Windows vs Apple rivalry.
