65 VW Beetle restoration playlist



Can't believe I watched the whole thing



This series covers the pickup of the vehicle, up to the test drive ( 48 videos in all according to this) .  I watched parts of most of them, and all of some of them.  This took hours of watching the videos.

Here's the first video in the series, and a playlist for all 48 videos. Heck, I'll throw in the embed just for grins.



Why bother? I've seen my brother do work like this. It is interesting to compare how some folks operate, I suppose. My brother wouldn't have worked on this one. If he cannot make money on it, he won't mess with it. On the other hand, this guy just does it for the challenge.

 By the way, this playlist does not have the final product.  When he's "done", he has a basic vehicle, but it isn't a complete vehicle.  For example, it has no windshield.

Why are cities so left-wing?



Drum roll please... Check out the young men for clues...



As soon as I saw "young men under 30", as I am marking here, I remembered what I had hypothesized before. Young men are the tip of the spearIt is always true. As the young men go, so goes the nation. So it did. Young men went for Trump. In 1932, young men went for FDR. Probably for the same reasons. In 1932, the Great Depression meant no work for the young men. Today is much the same, even though there's not a Great Depression, the young men are left out of it. There's no place for the young men, so they move on to something new. Trump would be wise to remember that.

It is also well to remember that young women tend to vote for the status quo. Young women voted for Herbert Hoover in 1932. But women tend to be "more conservative" in the stick-in-the-mud sort of way. That's true even if the status quo is leftist. Watch and see if this continues to develop that way.

Private Eyes







Did you ever have a song that just popped up in your head? Well, this one just did. But why? Ah, that's a question to be answered. So I thought about it, and it makes a certain amount of sense. I had a dream last night, and it didn't make sense. I dropped it for the entire morning, and this song pops up, and it is the answer.

Joseph interpreted dreams for Pharoah. Daniel interpreted dreams for Nebuchanezzar. Can you interpret a dream? Normally, I cannot. Perhaps it has to be interpreted the same way it came. Through the subconcious. Some might say it is God talking to ya. Others would say that it is merely the sum total of your experiences being juggled around and this is what your brain will come up with. But I don't know.

What I do know is that everybody is being watched these days. Private eyes are everywhere watching your every move. Just like the song says. The song is about something personal. But it can be universal too.

Private eyes really are watching you. That's what I got out of it. What someone else would say would be different. Maybe they'll just say it's being paranoid. But even paranoids have real enemies. ha, ha
