What Do They Believe In?

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

I’ve read a lot of Memorial Day blogs, stories in newspapers, and seen a lot of TV segments. They usually include something like: “s/he died (was wounded) for something s/he believed in.” This also applies to people heading to Iraq. A mom or dad will say, s/he believes in what they are [...]

Are You a Pecker or a Toucher?

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Education, Research, Technology

Do you hunt and peck when you type or are you a touch typist? I’m a toucher, but not very proficient. My wife is an excellent typist and gets a real kick out of proofreading my stuff because of all the typos. I often forget to spell check and hit publish and [...]

This guy is the polar opposite of me.  I just bought a mower with an electric start so I wouldn’t have to jerk a cord to start it.  It’s still a walk behind, but I see a rider in my future. A big rider, with a sunshade and drink holder! So I want to see a [...]

She Ran Over an Old Biddy

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Cars

I guess this is a country-boy thang rather than a boomer thang.  I know that a biddy is a chicken because my dad use to have a feed mill where he mixed chicken feed (not food) by the ton.  I used to drive the truck that delivered the feed five tons at a time to chicken houses [...]

Mr. Ashley Judd Wins Wet like Boss Demanded

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer, Entertainment, Money

Mr. Ashley Judd won the Indy 500 today in the rain. I’m glad it rained because Ashley Judd is always wet from rain or sweat in most of the films she stars. A Time To Kill Mostly sweaty because it’s supposed to take place in Mississippi and I guess they didn’t have air conditioning. She also [...]
