I remember the quick, at home, school lunch chicken pot pies in the 50’s. A cardboard box containing a small aluminum pie plate. I don’t recall the brand name but I’d do recall counting two peas and one small cube, of what may have been chicken, surrounded by thick filler gunk. The early TV dinners were also an adventure, as I recall. As always ....

Good morning, Anthony. In anticipation of the first NYC 90 degree day I can understand. For some of us at the stage we are at/in, winter is the only season left for us to look forward to. Stay well and enjoy the sun, warmth and listen to the rain. As always .....

Good morning tamarack, powderf and DavisS.. ....“Light their way when the darkness surrounds them; Give them love, let it shine all around them. Keep them safe. Keep them warm.” Lyrics that have comforted me over the loss of a fellow creature and friend through the years. May we all find peace. As always ...

We are so self absorbed with our own brand of intelligence that we forget the capabilities of our fellow creatures whom often use it better. As always ....

Good morning, Liberty. We should get some interesting CPK readings if and/or when the cicada swarm ever emerges. As always ...

So sadly true. Some did steroids to enhance the muscular look and paid quite a price later on. Others succumbed to lifestyle/illness issues, Haystacks Calhoun, diabetes/ double amputee, others played the circuit well into their 60’s. George the Animal Steel was forced into being a referee for roller derby because the state athletic association would no longer allow him to perform because of his age. Today much of what we watched and enjoyed would not have been permitted due to today’s understandable sensibilities. Macho man Randy Savage, The Iron Sheik, Chief Big Heart to name a few that could not survive/thrive easily today. As always ...

A number of pro football players found second careers on the circuit. Ernie Ladd was one. Some were veterinarians such a Dr.Jerry Graham of the infamous brothers. Their family was quite active for many years. Jerry got in a little trouble over 60 years ago for, on a dare, flying his small plane underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Today he’d probably end up in A Federal lock up. As always ....

Ah yes. I remember a televised staged run in between Gorilla Monsoon and Mohamed Ali, who was a pro wrestling fan. I remember Monsoon saying. “ this guy doesn’t know the difference between a wrist lock ant a wrist watch” .As always ......

Good morning, Ginx. It may be former but it was a good life. My, in person, memories go back to th 60’s in the brief but fun existence of the Bay Ridge Sports Center. I managed to shake hands with Antonino Rocca and enjoyed booing the bad guys such as Tony Altimore and the pre Luca Brasi, Lenny Montana. Before that it was the fifties, sitting next to my grandmother as she cheered the Italian wrestlers on channel five. I had to be careful, my grandmother would sometimes get carried away by the staged bad guy tactics and I could end up the recipient of an unintended four arm smash. I also managed to learn some of the best, not for mixed company, Sicilian dialect words. As always ...

Good afternoon SJWX, To me Tips posts are an anachronism, wrapped in reality/science, sprinkled with metaphysics to be read slowly and enjoyed, albeit carefully .... oh and sometimes it’s catching. As always ....

It sorta reminds me of the ‘Ignorance’ based sources that warned us in our youth that if we continued to practice a particular type of behavior we would lose our sight. Of course our retort was “Can we do it just until we need glasses. Well at least I know how the ignorance based sources evolved and found relevance. As always ......

Good morning, Anthony, if a curfew goes back into effect on Sesame Street, I don’t envy you trying to enforce it. As always ....

At least, Anthony, you get it back in a little over six months. Many of us will never get back what we truly miss. As always ....

It won’t matter, Liberty, if they think Forky is a sycamore. As always.....

Good evening, Phineas & bch. I see the generations as ‘pendulum ’ evolution. It swings side to side left/right, right/left. It seems that no matter the amount of times it swings back it doesn’t end up in exactly the same place, for me that’s progress. As always ...

If Forky is successful this weekend, I’m sorta happy that I won’t be around to see what comes out of the ground 17 years from now. As always .....

If I remember the age cut off right, for me it would have been 35 or 45. I would have missed a lot of cold rain and suppression. As always ....

Good morning all. When it gets to the point of ‘Logan’s Run’ I’ll qualify to be first on line for ascension. (Fine discussion, thank you) As always.......

Good work H2O, you just dumped your screen name on a lot of Dormant relationships. As always...

Good morning Liberty. It’s encouraging that the sentient species that recognized, followed and recorded this relationship has evolved enough to give honor to fellow creatures by keeping them together after their passing. As always ....

Good afternoon Ginx. This photo reminds me of an illustration from “The Giving Tree”. It’s quite a testament to you and your family. As always ...

Good morning, Anthony. I pray your mother has wonderful day, celebrating with her family. From what I can sense, for you, all 365, are like today. As always ....

Good evening Liberty. If your wish was granted the average world temperature would rise to above 105 F. Some small part of the Antarctic archipelago might still be habitable between June and September as would whatever land that was still above water north of the Arctic circle between December and March. Well, your correct, the cool May along with every thing else would certainly be gone forever. As always ....

Good afternoon, FX, loved the photo. When you run out of names ( should be in seconds ) which alphabet can you go to? As always ......

But not in the same places. As always .....
