Saw this on an LA Times feed... And what a vid!!!


A pod of approximately 1,000 dolphins began a stampede more akin to a wildebeest migration across the Serengeti rather than something you would see in the dark blue Pacific Ocean waters off Dana Point, CA about half way between LA and San Diego.

Since I am in the process of procuring a budget TV or multiple budget TVs for our Nashville home, I thought you may find the following tables useful for your own Black Friday TV hunt. I will add the Power Consumption "Energy Guide" details for each as I find them.

I am leaning towards the 65 or 75" U6H given the higher quality panels, high ratings, and bargain pricing.​

Meidas Touch, as reported by Ben Meiselas, has discovered that person has been a past strong supporter of Donald Trump. The personage has even been in a video, firing an AK-47 rifle, of which Kamala Harris has stated, if elected President of the United States, she will sign legislation to ban the rifle.

Restaurants have been extremely expensive outside of one off coupons or an app purchase as of late. Well, Marian and I are currently crossing the country between San Diego and Nashville and stopped at a Chili's in Sulphur Springs, TX this evening.

The "3-FOR ME" is just $10.99 incl. the appetizer, entree, and drink. With tax, Marian and I I walked out stuffed for $23.80 incl. tax plus a $5 tip on top of that.

Anyways, the $10.99 3 for me meal is the real deal.

Not automobile related but a deal nonetheless. If you have a Kroger near you, they are running an app Coupon on a dozen eggs for just $1.49/dozen. Limit 5 dozen.

I have a better visualization comparison that is quite straight-forward. One billion tons of water (ice) is the same as a cubic kilometer of ice…..an ice cube of 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer. Taking the cube root of 18, gives 2.621. This means that a cube of 18 billion tons of...

For essentially my entire life, I was 7 when they were introduced, I have been a huge fan of Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cookies but at $4.99 for a 16 oz. pkg. on sale, I skip.

As another choice, I have found Aldi's $2.75 16 oz. pkg. a very good substitute. My wife purchased a 16 oz pkg. from Kroger for $3.29 four days ago to try and they tasted the same. After looking at the packaging, look at the colored ball indications on the side of the package. They are the same!

Skip any of the Dollar General offerings I have purchased to date. They taste like $**t by comparison. ;)...

I went to the Taylor Swift ERAS Tour movie last night at a local AMC in Antioch, TN. Besides my wife Marian and I, there was only one other person in the theater making it a very unique concert experience albeit on the big screen. $28 later, yes, it was worth every penny. ;)
