This is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius

 

81 million people voted for this aged, corrupt buffoon. Except that they didn't, still, many millions did. Whatev, we can all enjoy the Age of Aquarius.

HAIR - WARNING GRAPHIC

Don't tell me you weren't warned. And so to today, at the Shamrock PNS, Pick 'n Steal, lo and behold:

HAIR! 

Such, my dear friends, is the Age of Aquarius.

A Short Musical Interlude

Have you noticed how Wakandans invented electricity, the internal combustion engine, penicillin, the wheel, space flight itself? And let's not forget, the Age of Aquarius.

Let's hear it for South African farmers.

Age Of Aquarius

So, how do you celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas of Myra? Simple, load up the rig with a couple of light rods and head out to the mighty Brazos.

Boom. Pretty much every cast a fish, it was like... like the Age of Aquarius. No kidding, I lost count.

Mostly perch but also drum, a couple of cats and curiously, baby striper. Ferocious little fish, all of them, but especially the striper. Big fun to catch when they're big and not bad when they're small. And here's the thing.

My friend Pedro was fishing silver spinners, slabs, the live perch which I gave him, and caught exactly nothing. He was going after big fish and failed. 

By contrast, I was pulling the aquarian adversary out of the water every few minutes or so on a worm, small hook, two split-shot rig on a light rod. Big success, "You're rippin' 'em up, man!"

Moral? No libs, fish smart,

Government Shutdown - The Poetry

It is shut down now

And you weep and gnash your teeth?

The bird sings with joy.

What better way to capture the pathos, the triumph, the victory, the sheer poetry of the Government Shutdown than in verse? Perhaps the haiku says it best:

Climb aboard the bus!

But the flight is cancelled.

Yes there is a God.

And from Kid:

I love tree barks most

I love ants climbing tree barks

Scr*w the democrats.

So haunting! LL, inspired by the muse, wrote these trenchant lines:

Hillary is Satan's Valentine,

Her husband Bill takes ANYTHING that walks on two legs.

They are model Democrats.

And one reader sent this:

When the Government is all shut down 

And Jupiter aligns with Mars 

Then walls will guard the borders 

And MAGA will steer the stars.

Beautiful, isn't it. Do you have a Government Shutdown poem? Please don't be shy, send it in.

Age of Aquarius,

Let The Sunshine In!

Here at the Compound we're all about letting the sunshine in, thanks, LL. So we hope you enjoy this uplifting infovideo, I certainly do. But maybe you prefer this Central Park version?

Beautiful, isn't it. Well, that's Central Park for you.

Love,

Scary

Undead

I was going to post a short bucolic piece on the therapeutic pleasures of horse riding but got badly hijacked by Drudge and the ongoing scary saga of the Middle East. Will it all result in a new dawn of peace, love and freedom, like a big Woodstock in the sand? 

Freeloading Hippies

 Or will it be a disaster of epic, apocalyptic proportions?

Age of Aquarius

I'd say the vote was out. 

Lord have mercy.
