Some random observations from here on the earth

I can hear them singing the Monty Python lumberjack song now.

Technically, that's a subspecies of the common North American Hipster, known as the Lumberjack Hipster.

Dang, what happened to the hipsters that wore black turtlenecks that sat around in dim coffee houses sipping espresso and listening to Miles Davis?
Well, at least the black rim glasses haven't changed.
This getting old is starting to get old.

That's another one of those "ironic hipster" things. Even their name was appropriated from another era.

Some people care about their cars. Others don't
Lots of people think they are driving big rigs when they are actually driving little cars.....they swerve out left to make a right and swerve to the right to turn left.
People are still the cruelest living thing on earth.
Lot's of people do wonderful things for others.
Many people jack up/ slam down/ alter their suspensions.
A lot of people don't like ticks.
Most people think that all the other drivers on the road driving, suck at what they are trying to do.
Most motorcyclists love to ride long distances.
Some people get annoyed when they go to use a public bathroom and find the previous person didn't flush.
Some animals are loved by humans.
Light from our local star takes a little over 8 minutes to reach earth.
Many are trying to cure diseases.
Fireworks are very popular in some cultures.
People kill people over the stupidest poopie.
People do the stupidest things.
People are stupid.
Some are not, though.
Long live love.

I'm getting older, grouchier, and I want to fight people and their fads now. That's what's happening.

 

[Tom Bomb]

Long live love.

I'd just like to echo this

Master control heard that. The secret police are on their way now, quick duck into your secret room behind the book shelf.

 

[mellowinman]

What's a haircut?

I had one, back in the eighties.

They are definitely overrated.

Some folks will never eat a skunk

More teenage boys need to go buck hay during the summer. They'll quickly realize why men don't wear their pants around their knees.

It would be great to see small square bales of hay again ( the buckable kind ) but I haven't seen anything but the large round (unbuckable) kind for a long time.

Here the rich are really ramping up construction of their multi-million dollar mansions.
More people are riding bicycles with those little gasoline engines tacked on.
Food prices are rising fast. Gasoline prices are down.
I see a lot of those tiny Fiats on the road too. I would prefer a MINI personally.
Not much talk of Ebola where I work, but maybe there should be? I will check out the relevant thread.
People seem more unhappy and hurried than ever.
A lot of people at the gym are ***hats, but that's probably always been the case but now I notice it more since I'm there more often.
Arizona State University seems to be taking over the planet.
That is all.

My sister buys square bales for her horses. So somebody's still making them.

Umm, yes I did see some too recently. My bad, the unbuckable kind have taken over at my father's place back in the midwest where he has a small cattle ranch. There is a need for both kinds I suppose. I use to buck bales for 3 to 5 cents a whack back in the day. Those over 80 lbs bales were killers.

Over here I've only had to buck 60 pound rectangles. Usually hired by horse barn owners or farmers with horses, then transported to a field covered with those adorable bales of dried grass to throw onto a gigantic trailer, then stack in a barn. I have a good job now, so I don't buck hay anymore.

Bucking wet hay is something I never want to do again, though... Holy moly was I sore after that. 60 pounds turned into sopping wet 100.

Never seen the big round guys in my area, but they are generally done on HUGE fields. Whereas I've only worked on small or medium sized pastures. 10 acres is the biggest I've worked on.
