Saturday, eh? Well that means its time to get up!
by Barney68 (2020-05-30 06:34:40)

But I'm not sure why.

I'll figure it out later. Only one cup of coffee so far this morning ... can't be expected to have a clue about what's going on.


Get up. Get on up. *

This is very unusual. His last post was upbeat too. We'll keep him in our prayers in the meantime.


I've been watching for one as well. Worried about him. *

Is a lot of bad stuff going on in our country right now. I’ll just keep praying for our grandchildren. There are large questions to ponder like “ Will the Giggity Room get its own board?” It will be in the dark web I suppose.

10:15 tee time today. Have a great day everyone


Woke up in a new place today

It certainly wasn't the Giggity Room. I missed late night shenanigans here last night instead playing trivia over Zoom with a favorable ratio of single women to men. I think I chose wisely rather than dropping in the BR and protesting not being fit for admission to Mr. Giggity's place.

Moving resumes today. Only small stuff left at the old place then a cleaning. Then putting all that made it over away! The amount of things I have in a 1 bedroom apartment is mind boggling. Need to purge more. Exciting Saturday ahead!

Have a great day everyone!








Could you tell us where your screen name came from, please?

The answer

The miscellaneous information in my profile alludes to it. I was the #1 driver for ND Disabled Transportation in 1992. It was a volunteer position with potential to be the coordinator the following year which had a little money with it. Well the Keenan mailman, Cliff Steger, RIP, professed his Redskins fandom mildly but was a bit of an annoyance with blurting out the "Hail to the Redskins" song. As a favor since it was late in the afternoon on a frigid January day, I honored his request for a ride to the post office to fill up his mailbag and go back to Keenan. I only intended to scare him to hang on by making sharp turns on south quad icy sidewalks from the front of Cushing to the post office. I fishtailed off one turn and skidded in a foot of snow into the bench cemented outside the law school building. Disabled Transpo golf cart front shell was damaged. Cliff went flying off into the snow but was unhurt. I was demoted in driver status and did not get as many runs as I used to. One year later my real name was used in the title tune for the Keenan Revue skit "Maniac Transpo Driver" in homage to my real life experience and I embraced the minor celebrity status.


I may be able to help here...

Transpo was the service on campus where students drove around golf carts carrying fellow students that needed assistance like when they were injured and couldn't walk themselves.

The drivers were notorious for flying down the sidewalks and nearly taking out pedestrians along the way.

Maniac was one of those drivers from the early 90's I believe and embraced the nature of his position.


Good luck with the move. *

Depressed and frustrated over what is going on in our country. Cov.-19 adds to it. This could be worse than "Burn Baby Burn", if folks remember. Prayer and hope for peace and justice within our ranks. Good vibes for all today..


I'm up. Bad dreams during COVID make it hard to sleep.

Today's dream involved me fleeing an airport in a pickup truck with a duffel bag full of guns and another full of something I can't recall. Apparently, my family was involved in some kind of terrorist attack.
