Loro by Pinback

Last night I was surfing the internet and I ended up at my friend's Dave Everhart myspace page. He had background music which I had never heard and I liked it. It was Loro by Pinback. Here are lyrics to the "song" Loro. I like it. Since my buddy Eric Copen and his wife went to San Francisco, I decided add this cool video about San Francisco with Loro playing in the background. Enjoy!

The Impact of Mr. Jones' class

Image
Reflecting on my high school education, I recognize certain classes have had a significant impact on me from a personal and professional standpoint.  One of the classes I didn't enjoy much while taking it has made a considerable impact on me as a leader.  Nope.  It wasn't biology, physics, English, geography, or any other standard high school.  It was a course called History of Oklahoma. Yup!  In the early 1990s, the state of Oklahoma required students to take and pass a class about Oklahoma history to earn their high school diplomas.  I spent my ninth and tenth grades in Oklahoma and then completed my eleventh and twelfth grades in Kansas.   In the Spring of 1991, I took History of Oklahoma, which was taught by Mr. Jones.  Mr. Jones was a US Air Force pilot who flew sorties during the Vietnam War.  A couple of times, he had slide shows with pics of him and his buddies in the military.  Mr. Jones' classroom was also quite memorable ...

Lenny

Today I found out on facebook that one of the guys I used to ride the bus with in India passed away a few years ago. He was a Kenya n and he and I used to ride in the back of the school bus.

According to BlackPressUSA.com , Lenny was found dangling from a microwave tower. The local police stated Lenny killed himself but the evidence shows that he could have been lynched. Springfield, Missouri was known to have racial problems but it hits a bit closer when someone you knew could have been lynched. Leonard Gakinya (Lenny), it was a pleasure knowing you.

Who are your top ten POTUS' on Presidents Day

After reading the article, Presidential experts rank Biden 14th among presidents in survey, Trump comes in las t  by Siock (2024), I was curious about the details of the survey.  According to the Official Results of the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey (Rottinghaus & Vaughn, 2024), the top ten US Presidents are: Abraham Lincoln  Franklin Delano Roosevelt George Washington  Theodore Roosevelt Thomas Jefferson Harry Truman Barack Obama Dwight David Eisenhower Lyndon Baines Johnson John Fitzgerald Kennedy Donald Trump is listed as the worst president. Overall, I disagree with the list because I don't envision Theodore Roosevelt, Obama, or Kennedy being the top ten presidents. Lincoln, FDR, Washington, Truman, Eisenhower, LBJ, Monroe , and Jackson scored higher in my book because they led the US during war times.  What did Obama do? The jury is still out there for his achievements. I'm not sure why Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize during the...
