I turned on a human interest story on BBC which developed into a mini documentary filler and a partial tour of Germany’s Thomman the biggest music equipment retailer in Europe. Pretty interesting. Fender sign and all.
The originator was a circus musician who played trumpet while on a tightrope, and who once sold gear out of his knapsack. The family store opened with accordians, and it now contains just about everything amongst Thomann’s incredible automated warehouse. The father has since died, and his son has taken the helm.

Parrot fish devour algae and can generate 800 lbs. of sand per year. Guess where much of that ends up. On the beaches.

70 % of Hawaii’s beaches are covered in Parrot Fish poop.

That’s why they surf. To get off of the beach.

St00pid Bubbles makes us Canucks look bad; but, Kramer made us look good with that traditional touque. Thanks for that, Riderock.

Watching the weather channel. Snow just north of us at the top of the province is expected tonight.

Nothing compared to what is expected to the east and south of us. Take care and be safe with those hurricanes and storms everyone. It looks like a rough ride is ahead.

Yesterday I watched a few games and caught up on some of the new NFL rules like no full body contact on the QB. A lot of new rules are put directly into the judgment of the officials which some think could become questionable. Personally, I think some of the rules are logical for safety of the players. I remember seeing a story about Joe Montana and how his injuries took their toll like cracks in a road. Here in Canada we aren’t out to cream the QB into a pancake. It doesn’t really alter the game as some might think. They still get sacked. It’s always a learning experience when Bubba the new kid comes up here to play rough. After a few penalties and coaching directions they catch on. By that time, however, the QB is scooped off the field.
Right now I’m getting my evening laugh with Raymond.

Mrs. FSB has the new restructured no bathing suit Miss America Pagent on. They rolled out a beautiful white Steinway grand piano, and I said, “What a beautiful piano.” Hahaha! When I was younger I would have said, “What a beautiful girl (at the piano)”. Funny thing is I could have gotten away with that today. I wonder if she has a nice boat?

Maybe they should have gladiator battles as part of the competition, instead. The last person standing, wins. Pretty cut and dried, don't you think?

In my random, Beatles-related YouTube viewings, I came across this documentary from 2003, which featured members of the Quarrymen, and John Lennon's sister, as well as recordings from John and Paul, etc. Of course, you probably have to take a lot of this with a grain of salt, since there's going to be that tabloid element going on with it, and that also means portraying Yoko Ono in a negative light, which I've noticed that happens with a lot of various people, in regards to her. Personally, I don't think she was this evil person that broke up the Beatles, and all of that BS, but I'm not going to get into that debate, that's up to one's own beliefs, I suppose.

Your Beatles’ documentary looks good. I’ll catch the full video tomorrow. Thanks, for posting, Paul.
