Perspective
Haven’t posted for couple’a days
Power and server outages back my way since Saturday evening,
so let’s get back to entertaining good ol’ Doug, eh?
Sure, you folks can play, too.

Re: The Great Moore County Terrorist Blackout of Twennytwennytwo
Looks like my neighborhood was one of the first back on-line.
Perhaps the power-recovery manager lives near my Yankee-contonement area.
(You know, kind’a like when I was growin’ up in Michigan, the county’s snow-plows supervisor
lived at the end of our dead-end road, so we got plowed-out first,
so he could get to work.)
Gotta reckon our repair guys got some useful experience over the years
while helping various hurricane recoveries.
Fellers responsible for this better hope they get caught by law enforcement first,
’cause the locals aren’t all that forgiving, and they have access to all sorts of hurty things.
Heck, even our nice, gray-haired old ladies can swing a nine-iron with painful effect.
Forensics and predictable motive guess
Turns out, one of the attacked substations is not all that far from my house
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

Old School Cool (Peter Gunn, Henry Mancini)
Y’know, sometimes a feller’s just gotta go back through a squeaky door or two and revisit the things that provided his cultural base. For me, that was the TV and music of my youth: before James Bond, and before the Beatles and hippies spoiled music.
Tell me Gunn wasn’t Bond cool, before there was Bond
Today, it’s Peter Gunn (ep 1:1).
The key, here, is the early Henry Mancini: his Peter Gunn cool lasted into The Pink Panther with only flashes surfacing as his famous commercial music evolved.
Yeah, I miss old-school cool
[opens desk drawer, strokes slide rule, closes drawer]
Note: the design on that Peter Gunn album cover still makes me queasy.
Reminds me of the post-apocalypse horror movie Day the World Ended ’56.
Scared the bejeezus out’a me as a kid.
