My goal in life has been to be like the bird who says, “Auf wiedersehen!” What does that mean? It means “Goodbye!”
Yes but what does it mean to be like the bird who says. “Auf wiedersehen!?”
A family owned a bird…a talking bird of some sort…like a parrot…and when they would leave the house the bird would say to them, “Auf widersehen!” But if they were just going outside for a moment the bird would not say it as if it knew that they were not leaving. So they decided to test the bird…btw…this is a true story and it won’t end with “Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams Debra.”
So they decided to test the bird. Everyone in the household got on their coats and shoes and pretended they were going somewhere. They left the house but the bird did not say, “Auf wiedersehen!?” He never would say “Auf wiedersehen!”unless they were actually leaving. The bird simply knew truth and was not deceived by appearances. This has been my goal for many years. Whether I’ve attained it or not is up to the reader to decide but I leave you with this… Jet fuel can’t melt steel beans Debra!
Note massive scarring of Left Shoulder which has been my mainstay “go to” scarring in the front. Barak works side by side with Ron’s best friend. Ron plays black men better than black men play black men and finally I asked myself, “Why is it I’ve seen every major Presidential candidate, presidential spouse, and several past presidents but I’ve never seen Obama at the Ranch? This is why…he was there all the time…Ron Howard is Barack Hussein Obama…this is an ultimate find!
I said a couple of things about Obama repeatedly: 1) I knew he was an actor and 2) He was an absolute consummate professional, unwavering in his playing of the president. Ron would fit the bill here too, though it wouldn’t be enough to go on.
Mike Pence aka Ron Howard
Still with his best friend who goes from VP to President while Ron Howard goes from President Obama to Vice President Pence. Cheryl Howard goes from Michelle Obama to Karen Pence.

Logan is a super terrific film! It’s the best of the X-Men series in forever!!! Dafne Keene who plays X-23 steals the film from Patrick Stewart and the guy who plays Wolverine (Hugh Jackman; frankly Jackman looks old enough to be her grandfather!)…no joke…she does a ten finger discount on this film grabs most of it and gets the rest with her feet!! This kid was really good!! It also looks like she did a lot of the stunts herself…she’s a no-holds barred actress and it shows!!
First 15 minutes of the film is a bit of a snooze especially at the Marlton AMC where the seats recline until you’re practically upside down and have to hang like a bat. After that it’s a non stop thrill ride! I haven’t seen such a great young female action hero since Oona Laurence in Pete’s Dragon! (the kid who played Pete was hot stuff too!!) I give this film four out of five stars, frankly all earned by her, well Patrick Stewart was really good too…Wolverine played the role he was handed and did it well.
We’re looking forward to what ever Daphne Keene does next…spoiler next…
Daphne Keene speaks fluent spanish and did a portion of the film in Spanish which was a treat to see how versatile she is. Can Oona Laurence do that??? Let’s pair them up in a film and find out!!
I’ve made some stupendous finds over the last several years…this is my favorite. Anyone can find a person but can you ID the house cat? I found two cats with one of the kids in an old photo. I’m not sure where the other cat pic is but I nailed this one. The first time I posted this in the Howard basement I was just getting ready to leave and I posted it on my Facebook page as my new Facebook photo, as a parting shot. I wasn’t positive it was their cat but it went up. There was a couple few delay from the time I put it up and they realized it was their cat. It could have been any generic black cat. After about four seconds they all realized at the same time that it was their cat and started yelling all at once the cat’s name. It was a terrific moment and I still smile about it. Imagine finding a picture of your cat looking back at you! Kind of the last thing you’d expect. One of kids ran upstairs and got the cat and brought the cat down. The cat loves attention and I was glad I hit this one out of the park. I showed it one other time to a larger group and got the same reaction with people cheering and the cat being picked up as well and again…the cat loved the attention!!
The Howard Cat
You never know who you’ll find going down the rabbit hole. I took a stab at the name as “Mr. Pickles” which it wasn’t but they do have a dog by that name…I’ll work on the cat a bit later again. Ron running around checking if anyone told me the name…no one did!
Did a bit of traveling and weather was crappy so I decided I would stay in and look around using satellite images from Google Maps. It’s kind of fun and gives you a bird’s eye view of the world. So, I came across this satellite image and prepared the following slides…
Play along see if you can find what I did, it’s significant…no cheating!Enlarged viewCan you tell what that is?This is where Tom Cruise comes in…Tomahawk Cruise Missiles! I would have been just as excited to see Tom walking around instead of the missiles!You’d think these guys would put their toys away after playing with them!
I blacked out a gorgeous elaborate swimming pool so the property would be less likely to be identified. I didn’t catch any crap for posting this on my Facebook page however the owner of the two homes was annoyed with me for blacking out the pool because it is beautiful and he wanted people to see it. I know…the world’s a little topsy turvy but hey…that’s the way we like it! The pool can be seen in an above slide and boy ain’t she a looker!It is possible those are also newer models being delivered and not old ones being replaced …kind of like getting a Candy-gram!! I’m sure I could research these, they look like they need a smaller launch mechanism. I would advise calling ahead and not just dropping by these people’s home! Besides the Cruise Missiles I think they have a dog! Also, if you do drop by make sure to bring an assortment of pastries and not just a single cake.
I suspect two more missiles here. These things were literally strewn around the neighborhood. Sometimes it’s hard to tell irrigation systems from the missiles but I may have found all told nine or more.
Why do I get Hero of the Day? Because it’s my blog? NO! This is an unprecedented find…first time ever in the United States that someone has found a Cruise Missile on non-military property. Everyone seemed sort of non-plussed when I found the first one but I think it was more stunned and surprised than anything. This had never been done. The conversation went something like this… “Ed found a Tomahawk…” “Yep those are Tommys alright!” Someone probably said, “Leave it to Ed.”
Finding one of these where they don’t belong is considered the Holy Grail of finds for the military who monitor satellite images daily that are constantly changing. Computers are used to scan the images for objects like this and if anything resembles something like this then it is reviewed by human eye by the military.
Everyone was so impressed that I found this that I got promoted to a Four Star General!! I’m sure Ron is a Five Star General so I might as well just be a Corporal because he can still order me around. No matter how sweet the cowboys look, bullets can still stop them. (That’s a poker reference for anyone didn’t pick up on it!)
Somewhere out there a busy executive is cooing to a baby (same guy who wanted to collect up all the babies), “Look what your clone-dad did…look…look at that. Isn’t he silly posting all that top-secret information for the world to see?! He is isn’t he? (Still cooing.) He is isn’t he? Let me call HQ…yes let me call HQ (Still cooing)” “They’re as fed up as we are…arent they? Yes they are…yes they are.” “Come lets warm your bottle and tell me what else your clone dad is going to do next!” Gentle rocking baby side to side.
“OMG…that’s so not funny Ed!!” Cooing to the baby again, “Isn’t that so not funny…isn’t it? You tell him…you tell him…that’s so not funny…that’s so not funny!”\
“We’re going to have to kill him…cooing…yes we are…yes we are” Baby looks incredulous at him.
“Your dad’s a moron isn’t he…isnt he? I dare you to post that Ed…your dad’s a moron isn’t he.”
