Thanks BB! The first post of the New Year! Rick's doesn't count.

From musician to physicist...that must be a "first ever" career change. It says he may take over for David Attenborough, who is 90+++...it may be sooner rather than later.

And Sir David Attenborough went from being the Controller of BBC2 to the national treasure he is today.
I understand he doesn't sing well.

I often learn new things on the forum and this nugget is no exception...Brian Cox was a musician and Sir D.A. can't sing. Oh, the irony!

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Peg loves telling people about this guy. From Wikipedia:

Brian May

Brian Harold May CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician and astrophysicist who achieved fame as lead guitarist of the rock band Queen. May was a co-founder of Queen with lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor. His songwriting contributions helped Queen become one of the most successful bands in rock history.
...
May was appointed a CBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005 for "services to the music industry and for charity work".[8] May earned a PhD degree in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007,[1][2] and was Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 2008 to 2013.[9] He was a "science team collaborator" with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission.[10][11] He is also a co-founder of the awareness campaign Asteroid Day.[12] Asteroid 52665 Brianmay was named after him.

By the way, I stole completely Chris's last introduction to the Not to use for this one.

Wow, two of them! Must be an English thing...maybe BB is both a donkey and a Mathematician.

Who can spot Professor Brian Cox?

I don't remember ever seeing a BBC showing of Brian Cox. I do recognize Brian May. For science shows I more typically see Brian Greene, but I think he only listens to music.

What is it with all these Brians anyway?

I will end this year with sadnes and love .

Maybe because I'm getting older or not working anymore that I'm more and more preoccupied with things like this and I also notice that I can get very emotional sometimes for nothing. When I think back it started early one morning when I walked into the Cathedral in Santiago and sat there alone and started to cry spontaneously . It felt really good.

I have a lot of admiration for people like Andre, they do so much for others with so little and that is love.

Ndakazi "took her final breath in the loving arms of her caretaker and lifelong friend, Andre Bauma," at September 26 at age 14.

From Zwijndrecht in the Netherlands I wish you all a healthy 2022.

These 30 New Funny Comics By A Legendary Cartoonist Might Make You Smile

In modern times, reaching 30 years and older as a human being isn't that special. For comics, however, reaching 30 years is an amazing feat, for there are only just a handful of comics and cartoons that survived that long.

Mahatma Gandhi often walked barefoot which produced an impressive set of callouses on his feet. He also ate very little, making him rather frail and with his odd diet he often suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.

Well that's a first I've ever heard of that definition of the word! That said, I really enjoyed seeing the movie "Ghandi" many years ago.

If the guy used liquid soap then bending over would not be a problem no matter how small the camper.

Some reading selections whilst you camp.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Thanks NYC...your selections have definitely whet my appetite. I am already reading "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" this week; it's a book I picked up at a resale shop. I'd seen the movie of the same name many years ago and last night I decided to re-watch it. It's a fascinating downer...if there is such a thing.
I think I will read "Lord of the Pies" next, followed by "War and Peas"...and "Oliver twixt" for dessert.

Are you sure, Rick?
I just did a comparisin google search and Lt. Col. Henry on Mash died in a plane crash in March, 1975.
J.R. Ewing was shot in an episode airing in November, 1980, but I din't think he died. Either way it happened later.

I need some help from the women of the Not Serious.

A couple of nights ago Peg pulled down some Jambalaya mix. It's muy picante and she knows it and personally it doesn't bother her but she knows that sometimes I will refuse to eat stuff too hot. She mixed extra rice with it and it sort of worked; a little hotter and I would have found it intolerable.

Here's the help I need: I need an interpreter expert in the language of love to tell me how I should react to this statement of Peg's.

"Seeing as you didn't like it I won't buy it again ... ... ... unless it's on a good sale."

Ears are fine, provided that a) you are a cat person (most are not), and b) the cat likes you (actually that should be a) ... ; but I can manage it with most cats, sometimes even with stray, feral ones)

Legs ONLY if the cat is in need of some grooming assistance there (rare). Paws ONLY and only EVER if the cat actively and honestly wants it, i.e. you need to be a cat person in the first place to figure that one out.

Tail, well, generally NO -- and especially not if the cat hasn't accepted the legitimacy of your presence in its company .... Some cats hate it more than others.
