Halloween 2024

          We get no kids coming for Halloween treats. I guess it's because we live in an older neighborhood. It's not an adult community, just an ordinary one.  There is one home with a young girl, but she never comes by.  My grandchildren have a block party.

"I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam," declared the existential philosopher, Popeye the Sailor Man.  "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." - C.G. Jung Self-acceptance that you have to embrace who you are.  Who am I really?  Who am I at the core of my being?  What do I really want to do with my life?  What will make me happy? Psychologist Erich From wrote: "Modern man lives under the illusion that he knows what he wants, while he actually wants what he is supposed to want."  From:  Fast-Pitch-9517   He's a stereotype of a sailor from the time. They had big forearms from handling tensioned ropes on deck all the time, which required (and continues to require) exceptional forearm strength and endurance. The sailor stereotype is also the reason for his w

Advice From the Lockpicking Lawyer

  I recently came across one of the Lockpicking Lawyer's videos on YouTube. I may not be taking it too seriously, but it seems kind of silly to me. But with all the strange people out there it could be dangerous. He might encourage someone to try it out in a real situation. It's supposed to be a hobby.  He says he  He works with lock manufacturers to improve the security of their devices.  He also sells the tools he uses through his own company, Covert Instruments    While still learning how to pick: It’s probably for the best that I was pretty terrible back then because there’s no doubt that I would have gotten into trouble.  After several months of consistent failure, I abandoned my efforts.
