"Homeless Man Left in Tears After Good Samaritan Act"
From LiveLeak:
"A homeless war veteran was moved to tears
in Redlands, California, on November 15 when he met a good Samaritan at a
local gas station. The homeless man approached Max and asked for
change; that was when Max invited him into his car and offered to buy
him food. Some good news has followed the emotional scene in this video:
Max’s new friend secured a restaurant job! Max has also started a
GoFundMe campaign to support other homeless veterans. Credit:

1) What are your plans for Thanksgiving this year?
2) Are you ready for the nasty cold weather with the nasty white stuff coming?
3) Do you shop more on the computer or do you go to the stores?

"A French Muslim speaks his mind after recent events"
Stars Over The Moonlit Desert
Had to go out last night with some students so I setup a camera on a tripod and let it shoot pics for about an hour and a half in the Moonlit desert. Here is a still frame with a plane passing through.
I also put all the pics together into a short timelapse. This represents about 90 minutes of pictures spliced together.
And this is about a 10 minute drive from where I live so I can get there quickly and easily.

Life On Kitt Peak
Part of my job is escorting film crews on Kitt Peak. Last summer, I spent a couple of days with a crew doing a series called Unsung. Unsung looks at people behind the scenes who may not get all the glory but are vital to making things run smoothly.
They profiled Mike Hawes, facilities manager at Kitt Peak. The video is done and posted online so I thought I would share it with you. I think they did a nice job capturing what it takes to keep the mountain running. They were lucky since the secondary mirror of the 2.1 meter telescope was being recoated which gave them lots of good footage to shoot.
Dear Madame Zoltar
What's happened to our glorious Green Bay Packers? They've lost three in a row now. This Sunday, November 22. they meet the hated Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota at 3:25 pm. Then, on Thanksgiving, they meet arch rivals the Chicago Bears. It's going to be a rough couple of weeks for our Green and Gold warriors. C'mon guys, quit fooling around. Crush your opponents.
Here are the standings for the Irregular Football League:
The Racine Irregulars are on top now, with The Mighty Bears and Half-Astrophysicists hot on their trail. I don't even want to talk about my Screaming Psychics. Oh my.
While generally I don't discuss at length political views here, I have to share this with you. It's "old" news, but it's so wrong on so many levels that I feel compelled to say something.
"Former presidential candidate Scott Walker and his friends in the Wisconsin state legislature have figured out a way to deal with bothersome, recurring investigations into political corruption.
"Rather than clean up their act, they have simply passed a law that makes it harder for prosecutors to launch such investigations.
"Walker, the Wisconsin governor who recently dropped out of the race for the GOP presidential nomination, has signed into state law a measure that restricts the use of so-called John Doe proceedings. These proceedings enable prosecutors to obtain search warrants and collect testimony as part of investigations that remain secret until charges are filed. Unlike secret grand jury proceedings, which are more costly, John Doe investigations are authorized by a judge, and it is a judge, rather than a jury, that hears the evidence.
"It’s telling that Walker and his cohorts aren't opposed to John Doe investigations aimed at violent criminals or drug dealers, which will still be permitted under the new law. All Walker & Co. did was prohibit John Doe investigations aimed at politicians and their appointees — i.e., themselves. They did this by barring any future probes into allegations of bribery, corruption and campaign-finance violations."

The audacity of Mr. Walker's actions is abominable. Essentially, he and his staff have put themselves above the law. Waaaaay above the law. How is it that no one stands up to this bully? It's sickening. I hope our Mr. Mayor doesn't try this, but it's his speed. Outlaw investigations into myself. Why didn't I think of that? Because I'm a caring human being, that's why. I think that other people are my equals, not ATMs to plunder endlessly.
I've decided to place the dreaded Zoltar Curse™ on him. This crap has GOT to stop. When his wee-wee falls off, Mr. Governor may sing a different tune.
This Saturday, November 21, male strippers will appear at Memorial Hall for Racine's "Girls Night Out." A memorial building built to honor those who fought and died for our freedoms is hardly the place for male strippers, but I've come to expect this sort of trash from the current city administration. They have no sense of, or respect for, history. Every time I see Mr. Mayor's face, I think of a used car salesman blaring his spiel on TV. Slap another coat of paint on a car, put sawdust in the transmission and black pepper in the radiator. Then sell it, Johnny boy, for a huge commission.
Well, that's enough blabbing about politics. Most politicians are born liars. I hate their damned guts. Oh dear.
But I love you and all the other readers of my blog. Thank you for taking some time to read it. I very much appreciate the audience. We are family.
How do stupid people advance in life? Ask MadameZoltar@jtirregulars.com
I just looked. They're predicting 3-5 inches of s-word for us on Friday. I'm not ready for this. I hope it doesn't happen. Calgon, take me away.

"The New Faces of Caregiving"
"People across the country take up the challenge. Here are their stories"
"(Video) Twenty-eight-year-old Hannah Roberts is taking a year
off from medical school to care for her mother, Karla Johnson, who was
diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer last spring. She is one of
about 10 million millennial caregivers.
"Hannah Roberts, 28, has often logged in to CancerCare's support group since her mother, Karla Johnson, 62, was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer last spring. 'I don't think many people in my age group have experienced anything like this, so that can be isolating,' she says. 'It's hard to see them on Facebook going on with normal lives.'
"She has taken a year's leave after her third year at Columbia University Medical School, moving from New York into her parents' home in the Boston suburbs to care for Johnson. She drives her mother to medical appointments, organizes nursing visits and helps prepare meals, while her dad has taken on more tasks at the architectural firm the couple founded."

Four for Fridays!
Happy Friday the 13th to everyone. I am really sorry about last week I had a really bad cold and it is still hanging on a little bit but I didn't want to miss getting the questions out this week. Here they are-
1) Did your parents ever forget your birthday?
2) Do you feel like when you are talking to someone that they are not listening to you?
3) Do you believe in superstitions?
4) Would you rather listen to music or watch t.v.?
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Dear Madame Zoltar
Hello, my Chilly Willy, and otherwise, friends! Many trees are now denuded of leaves while some stubborn ones hang on. Oak and Beech are known for this. Sometimes, in the middle of winter, you'll look up and see an oak hanging onto a mass of leaves, now snow covered and iced over. That;s why oak wood costs more than most: density. Oak wood is extremely strong because it takes forever to grow, unlike the pine you'll find at most home improvement stores. ( I remember when there still were lumber yards.)We're supped to get a good soaking, especially tomorrow. That's what "they" said. Temperatures will continue to drop like leaves. Or not. When you work for a weather service, accuracy doesn't matter. Ratings, yes. Accuracy, who cares?
What the heck has become of the Green Bay Packers? The Carolina Panthers de-pants them on national television. How embarrassing. The Packers have a chance to redeem themselves this Sunday, November 15, at noon, at home, against the Detroit Lions.
In the Irregular Football League, the standing are thus:
The Mighty Bears continue their tyranny of the league.
In real life, I scanned Google News looking for some good news, Ha!
I don't have the stomach for it anymore. First was an 8-year-old charged with beating a 1-year-old to death. Then a 9-year-old murdered in an alley because of his father's gang affiliation. Then another one here. Then there. It just became too daunting and depressing to read the news. A society that produces such monsters must be ill, or at least warped.
We've already lost a couple of generations, and it just gets worse and worse. We may be at a turning point where we can decide where our society goes. We send billions of dollars worth of military equipment. Then we send billions more in the form of "foreign aide." How about Home Aide? How about remembering where all those dollars come from? Our pockets! And we're sick of the government using us as ATMs.
Oh dear! I'm sorry. I lost my temper. I shouldn't do that. My blogs are for love and peace. Anyone is inviting to take a read and make a comment, if so disposed. We've built up a little of a family that way.
How much more can we stand of this? Ask MadameZoltar@jtirregulars.com
Watch out for the slippery leaves and slippery children. The Racine Holiday Parade is downtown this Sunday. Say hi to Santa for me and ask him when he's going to pay my bill. I love you all.
Question for Drew
Hope this is allowed.. I don't know any other way to contact him.
Message:
I have some old vinyl albums. Mostly rock. A few old ones from my Dad. Looking to get rid of them. (sell?) or giveaway if they aren't worth anything. My email address here isn't valid ( can't get it changed for some reason) Can be contacted on FB by either you or THB if interested in titles.
If you know anyone that would be looking if not you. I'm sure you have most every album ever made!
Or anyone else interested or know anyone.. I'm not fussy. Just don't want to dump a possible (lol) goldmine at Goodwill.
Sheriff.. you can delete if this is not allowed.. I will understand. Just trying to get the message to them.
