Let It Snow

facebook  Here's a live shot of the snow storm we had here on the Cape. Heavy snow with some power outages and some trees and tree branches down on the roads. Driving last night was a challenge to say the least. Click on the link for up to date weather conditions.

Transformer" Like a Cannon"

Last night around 11:02 pm. I started my shift at the Soundings/Breakers resorts in Dennis Port on Cape Cod and was greeted by a loud "BOOM" like a cannon from outside in what appeared to be the parking lot area during a blizzard where there were downed trees on part of the road and low power and phone lines from the heavy snow clinging to the branches and wires. The emergency lighting system kicked in and the Soundings had "half power" as some parts of the electricity were on and some were off. Throughout the night there was an almost constant light flickering and the emergency lighting would sometimes rapidly click on and off so fast that it reminded me of "Morse code" signals perhaps from an other world spirit trying to maybe convey an important message to me and perhaps mankind in general. Or perhaps the flickering code signal was foretelling the future "Power ball" winning numbers to me but alas I don't know Morse code so I'll probably have to resort as always to the random "quick pick" method to try to win a "jackpot". I wonder what it would be like to win a large sum of money? Maybe someday I'll find out; after all, "you can't win if  you don't play". I knew I should have taken that "Morse code" training as a young lad in "Cub scouts"; Oh well.

40 Tons of Snow "Craig's List AD FREE!!!!!

40 Tons of Snow    I often look through the "Craig's List Cape Cod FREE Section" just to see what people have to offer. For example, some generous soul (click the link 40 tons of snow) is offering free snow and as much as you could possibly want. How kind is that? I'm thinking I may take this person up on their offer as I am thinking of chartering an airplane and flying this snow out to California to help them with their drought situation and by hopefully getting this snow out there quickly it won't melt or evaporate. I might have to pack this snow in dry ice to make sure it stays cold. I don't know.  Either that or I might open up a snow cone stand in downtown Dennisport  so that people would have something cool to suck on while they are shopping the thrift shops, dollar stores, and job lot outlets or in case they burned their tongue on a hot slice of pizza which you can almost get every 200 yards in this bustling shopping district.

Song Lyrics: Or So I Hear

Some songs sure do have interesting lyrics; at least they sound interesting to me. For example: Credence Clearwater Revival with singer John Fogerty in the song " Bad Moon Risin'" sings "There's a bathroom on the right". Now, to me what difference does it make whether the bathroom is on the right, left, or middle? Maybe, singer John wanted to make sure that people went to the correct bathroom based on your gender because when "you're in for nasty weather" and need to get to a bathroom then if you are in too much of a hurry I guess you could end up in the wrong bathroom. Or, the REM song, "Losing My Religion" where singer Michael Stipe croons, "Let's pee in the corner, let's pee in the spotlight"; I guess they didn't know about the bathroom on the right or couldn't find a bathroom anywhere.


Rock guitar Legend Jimi Hendrix sings in the classic song "Purple Haze", "Scuse me while I kiss this guy". Now, to me, if you are "Jimi" why would you need to be excused if you wanted to kiss some guy? If that is what you wanted to do Jimi just do it ; you really don't need somebody's permission. Although I guess if you are in a "Purple Haze" you aren't perhaps thinking too clearly.


Even the Canadian national anthem "O, Canada" where they sing "O, Canada, we stand on cars and freeze" to me I find this interesting as I think this national Canadian anthem was written even before the birth of the automobile. Maybe the composer of this anthem consulted a psychic who foresaw the rise of the car in the future. Of course, I might have misheard this lyric and maybe the true phrase is "We stand on carts of cheese" as there are quite a few dairy farms up in Canada.


Sometimes I guess, some song lyrics I hear make me "scratch my head", how about you?

Love of Muskrats

I see today in the news that Daryl Dragon and Catherine Antoinette Tennille (Captain & Tennille" are getting divorced.  That is a shame since they were only married for 39 years. I guess "Love Won't Keep Them Together" anymore. I wonder what happened? (not that it is any of my business). Maybe they did certain things with each other and "The Captain said "Do That To Me One More Time" and Tennille said "No  thanks, "You Never Done It Like That" and furthermore "I'm On My Way" and started twirling around in "Circles" repeating "I Can't Stop Dancin' " and went out to dance in the rain. "Come in From the Rain" said the Captain and we can make "Love on a Shoestring" because that's "The Way I Want to Touch You".


Maybe they got tired of their pet muskrats and their  "Muskrat Love" and "Captain said to Tennille, "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" as "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" and  I think if we brought a hippopotamus in to sleep with us it would help in "Keeping Our Love Warm".

"Give "Pete" A Chance"

I think everybody in life deserves "a chance" to make the most of their God given talents. I repeat, everyone deserves a chance. No matter who you are and what your name is, you should have a chance to follow your dreams and destiny.


John Lennon wrote the famous song  "Give Pete A Chance" so he believes for Pete's sake that Pete deserves a chance. Here are the lyrics to that song:

Two, one two three four

Everybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism
Ragism, Tagism, this-ism, that-ism
Ism ism ism

All we are saying is give Pete  a chance
All we are saying is give Pete a chance

Everybody's talkin' 'bout ministers, sinisters
Banisters and canisters, bishops and fishops
Rabbis and pop eyes, bye bye, bye byes

All we are saying, is give Pete a chance
All we are saying, is give Pete a chance

Let me tell you now
Everybody's talking about, revolution
Evolution, masturbation, flagellation
Regulation, integrations, meditations
United Nations, congratulations

All we are saying is give Pete a chance
All we are saying is give Pete a chance

Everybody's talking about, John and Yoko
Timmy Leary, Rosemary, Tommy smothers
Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper, Derek Taylor
Norman Mailer, Alan Ginsberg, Hare Krishna, Hare Hare Krishna

All we are saying is give Pete a chance
All we are saying is give Pete a chance
All we are saying is give Pete a chance
...

 Now, I'm not 100% sure which Pete John Lennon was referring to; but, my guess is he may have been referring to the original drummer in the Silver Beatles, namely Pete Best who was replaced by Ringo Starr right before the "Beatles" rocketed to world wide fame and fortune. I think maybe John Lennon and the rest of the "Beatles" may have felt a touch of remorse for parting company with their Best drummer before he could become a Starr like the rest of the group. So, John probably wrote this song as a plea to other music groups to consider Peter Best as their drummer and give him a chance. I don't know. What do you think?  "Peace out".

The Gold Clip

I've had this herring bone gold chain for quite a while now and somehow the gold clip broke off a little bit recently so I had to figure out how to attach  the chain back together so I wouldn't lose the chain.

At first I just bent the remaining part of the clip and tried to attach the chain back together but the chain kept coming apart and sliding off my neck. Have you ever tried to attach a chain yourself by looking in the mirror? It is kind of difficult as  the "mirror image" is exactly opposite of what you would think.

I tried then to use part of a paperclip and bend this metal part between both sides of the chain and tried to twist them together. I didn't have good luck with that as I wasn't able to clamp the metal together  well with a pair of pliers.

Then, I looked around my house and found this blue paper clip. I wasn't sure if a paper clip would work as after all a paper clip is supposed to clip paper together. But, as you can see the paper clip was thin enough to slide through each side of the gold chain. 

Hey, maybe this will be the start of a new fashion trend. Just think, if I'm going to the store to buy some Spam and slow roasted Boston bake beans; I can now just clip my grocery list around my neck. Or, if by accident I trip and fall outside somewhere and hit my head and develop amnesia, if I write my name and address and clip it to my blue neck paperclip someone may help me find my way back to my home.

Yes, this paper clip was "as good as gold
