Cittadella,
Italy
good
name
[8:29
AM]
Interesting,
aren't they
That
used to be "the city"
and
now it's just a marvelous feature of "the old city"
[8:30
AM] Mr. Blue:
if
you look at old drawings/paintings/woodcuts of cities, most cities
had not only moats but they were extremely elaborate
[8:30
AM]
Gonna
wall a place, wall it right
I'd
hate be set up on the inner South end of one of those
[8:32
AM] Mr. Blue:
Why's
that? cuz that's where most invasions came from?
[8:35
AM]
Sun
Always
get less...in winter barely any at all. The cold dim part of
town.
Look
how dark it is on the left
[8:39
AM] Mr. Blue:
Ahh
yeah
A
weird feature of city walls in Germany i've noticed is that instead
of tearing down the walls they just repurposed them into houses
Since
the wall itself was basically the same shape/material as the bottom
half of a half-timbered house, they just timbered the top
[8:40
AM]
:)
[8:46
AM] Mr. Blue:
Did
i tell you the story about Nurnberg when we were walking along the
old city wall and we came to a dead end... the Pegnitz river... the
wall crossed the river but the street/sidewalk didn't.
Some
guy was standing there watching us and he was unlocking a door into
the wall itself, like one of the guard tower turret things, and he
was like "would you like to come inside?"
And
he lived in there
It
was about 4 stories high and basically just like the stairwell
here... just every few stairs there was a landing and for each
landing it was a "room" - kitchen, living room, bedroom,
bathroom. Then at the top was the area you could walk on and cross
the river.
He
said the city just let him live there because it's better than
letting it sit or letting vagrants in, and on the other side of the
river in the wall was a bar
[8:49
AM] Mr. Blue:
Here.
the building with the red/white shutters was his "house"

(reading
realty sheet) "What's this 'Trebuchet Et Al Damage' caveat on
page 2?"
(realtor)
"Ahh...just legalspeak. Come see the master bathroom."

Trump
said. “Parts (of the Wall) will be, of necessity, see through"
"Oh!
So that's what an Invisible Barrier looks like."
[9:37

Maybe
in 600 years the US/Mexico border will be a tourist destination
"Trump's
Folly"
[9:16

Was
talking with Goober. After some mutual talk on the dysfunctional
government never making a deal...
(me)
"...because there's no rule against attaching stupid unrelated BS
to bills"
(G
- out of nowhere) "We shouldn't be paying the Palestinians!"
"..."
[9:16
AM] Mr. Blue:
He
has brain worms
[9:16

"We
send 'em like 23 million a year! 23 million for like 70 years!"
(Calculates)
In
the current US economy, that that's roughly $2 at our pay scale.
[9:17
AM] Mr. Blue:
1.
that is not that much in the grand scheme of things.
2. foreign aid has been shown to pay for itself and then some.
3. i'm not sure what that money is for but i'm sure it has something to do with some sort of mea culpa for foreign policy failures on our part

We
could support 160,860 "freeloader" countries a year.
What
comedian was it, saying that his taxes amounted to enough to pay for
a fin on a missile.

They
should sell naming rights to missiles
“Joe's
Plumbing's Tomahawk BGM-109”
I'm
still LOLing at the ISIS truck with the "Mark-1 Plumbing"
ad on the side
[9:29
AM]
Heh
Product
placement to fund the jihad
[9:34
AM] Mr. Blue:
they
couldn't just peel that off
Damn...
the Mark-1 Plumbing google reviews are good
“Show
up fully loaded and ready to blast past any task. Interesting
uniforms. A+”
[9:34
AM]
(foreign
reporter) "The only thing that survived the detonation was part
of the south wall, and a titanium plate advertising the Mark-1
Plumbing service."
[9:35
AM] Mr. Blue:
lol
“You
guys are great plumbers, but maybe not loan ISIS your vehicles.”
Still
gave them 5/5 stars
[9:36
AM]
hehe
[9:43
AM] Mr. Brown.:
The
plumber came in and blasted that clog right out of my toilet
The
tiny black sticker they placed on the toilet was a little strange
He
also broke a few of my yeshua statues
I
think it was an accident
[9:45
AM]
(reporter)
"ISIS has claimed responsibility for the repairs. This has
not yet been confirmed by government investigators."
[9:45
AM] Mr. Blue:
"daughters
missing but new pipes don't rattle"
[9:48
AM]
"Clean,
efficient. Wore booties inside and broke down all the repairs and
costs. Didn't understand the masks, shouting, and raising of
rifles. New sink great!"
[9:49
AM] Mr. Brown.:
"They
kept stopping and taking selfies while working holding up and shaking
their plungers"
"Great
work but had a disturbing way of opening packages – they grip them
from behind and slowly move a knife across the front."
[9:55
AM]
"Fast!
Made the call and they were there in 15 mins. Fixed the pipe,
beheaded my trash neighbor and stoned his wife, and out in 20
minutes. Not sure why they needed 10 guys but it only cost $100!"
[9:58
AM] Mr. Blue:
"Installed
footbaths but I never asked for them."
[10:10

Went
for a hike in the snow yesterday with Silver Junior. When we
left I hit the radio...was a country station.
"Leave
it there."
"You're
into country?"
"For traveling. Feels like traveling music to me."
"Like
because they always play country for driving scenes in movies and
shows?"
"Yeah."
"I
get that."
So
we have the hike...
Get
back in and start leaving the park.
"Smokey
and the Bandit" main song comes on.
And
I start singing it...correct lyrics
"You
know this whole song?"
"Kid,
back when this movie came out, the entire US probably knew this whole
song."
"Big
hit?"
"Oh
yes...had everything people wanted at the time."
Went
over the basic plot, CB culture. No spoilers.
"Wonder
if it's On Demand."
Isn't.
However
it's being shown Sunday, so I'm recording it.
"So
it was really good?"
"It's
a lot of fun. They only made two big mistakes."
"What
were they?"
"Smokey
and the Bandit 2, and Smokey and the Bandit 3"
"That
bad, huh?"
"Yup."
I'm
very curious what I'll think of it all these years later...probably
been since the 80s that I saw it.
[10:19
AM] Mr. Yellow:
East
bound and down 18 wheels a rolling. we're going to do what they say
can't be done...
[10:21
AM]
We
got a long way to go, and a short time to get there...
"Do
truckers still use CBs?"
"Honestly,
I'm not sure anymore. They kinda suck compared to a lot of
things that came later."
[10:24
AM] Mr. Yellow:
Some
do. Usually the veteran drivers
Anyone
driving 15 years or more
Well,
maybe 10. *shrug*
They
have communication apps and cell phones now mostly.
[10:27
AM]
Figgered...
You can talk to random people within a few miles about what they saw
going on... or you can get real-time data the whole route you
specify.
“Smokey
and the Bandit” couldn't happen now
Cops
woulda nailed them both within minutes
(Monday
morning)
[8:28
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
watched it recently for the first time and it was okay
[8:45
AM]
Yup.
A solid OK movie. But it was a phenom in the 70s.
Everyone
wanted a Trans Am and a CB radio
Weird
fad then...truckers, CBs, good ol' boy heroes
[8:47
AM] Mr. Blue:
The
director was a stunt driver for films like Bullit and i think the
French Connection
Hal
Needham
Nevermind
on that
I'm
confusing Hal Needham with Bill Hickman
[9:05
AM]
Totally
understandable. (looks up Hal and Bill to see who they are)
;)
[9:05
AM] Mr. Blue:
heh
[10:24
AM]
[10:31
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
saw trailers for that show
[10:37
AM] Mr. Brown.:
multiverse
Could
be very plausible
Could
be what dark matter is – separate universes co-existing and acting
upon each other
[10:45
AM]
Well...I
mean the Mass/Energy issues could be that sort of interaction instead
of a Dark Matter or Dark Energy that's out there, yes.
(physicist)
"We called it The Dark Neighbors theory."
(reporter)
"It was originally the 'There Goes the Local-Reality' theory wasn't it?"
"Well...yes.
But there were complaints when we published under that title."
