Dukes of Hazzard visiting Hazard black gold festival in 1981. I was almost 3 but still remember it. Almost all of the cast came.

Vintage Denmark Ink Pen. Hold it one way and woman is dressed, turn it other way and ink (or some liquid) flows down to where she’s undressed.

One of the cool hotwheels I picked up today from 1992. Seems as if I remember seeing these in the stores back in the day but they were too much for me to get. Had to fork over a Lincoln for this one which probably not far from what they cost back 26 years ago

I never had seen this matchbox truck before but being a fan of mattel toys for several years all the way back to masters of the universe, I had to have it.

I bought a whole big box of misc gaming stuff last weekend & it was full of dirty old consoles 3 of which I’ve cleaned up and got working great. They just don’t build consoles like they use to because never really figured these would work they were so dirty and rough but a bit of elbow grease, a few tools, and some cleaning supplies works wonders. Now on to the NES’s & NES Advantage Joystick restoration.

Will Alien Life Resemble Life on Earth? Harvard Biologist Jonathan Losos...

Advanced civilizations are going to be extremely rare. So many things had to fall into place in order for us humans to be here today. Just look how many millions of years dinosaurs ruled Earth but never constructed anything. Maybe some were intelligent enough to (think dolphin or octopus) but without hands tough to make anything. What we have here is not to be taken lightly or to be viewed as being common. We are probably unique & most likely nothing else like humans out there. Even with exact conditions as we have on Earth it's doubtful humans would ever arise again even if given billions of years. I'm not saying there's not other advanced beings out there, out of trillions of numbers to work with most likely are, but they won't be like us & few and far between. Kind of a sad lonely conclusion to come to but based off facts I've learned it's the one I've reached.
