Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so
I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing."

The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"

At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?

Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case.
Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

Just kidding. I quit drinking beer almost 25 years ago, but I found this so hilarious, I couldn't resist reposting it.

This Old House
You ain't seen nothing yet. This is the tip of the iceberg in Hot Springs, SD. The entire town is loaded with beautiful old Victorian homes and no two are identical. This is the historic Burdette House. Some say it's haunted, as are several other houses in the town.

America’s public lands should be conserved and remain open to the public for shared uses. The Biden administration, however, is targeting millions of acres for permanent protection in the name of “conservation” to bolster its America the Beautiful (or 30-by-30) initiative–a dangerous rewilding plan masquerading as conservation.

Úna Bhán

Legend of Úna Bhán

MacDermott was the Chieftain of Moylurg, a Celtic Kingdom in North Roscommon. He had a beautiful daughter, Úna Bhán, - so named because of her long blonde hair. His neighbour was Tomás Láidir Costello, a good and sincere man, handsome and strong.
Úna Bhán and Tomás Láidir fell in love and wished to marry but MacDermot would not allow the marriage because he believed Tomás Láidir was not good enough for his daughter. Tomás Láidir was banished from the area and MacDermot had Úna Bhán confined on Castle Island, Lough Key, then called "The Rock", which was located in the centre of MacDermot territory.
Úna Bhán went into a deep melancholy and was dying of grief. Tomás Láidir, hearing of the situation went to see her and when he left, vowed that if MacDermot did not send a message for him to return before he reached the river, he would never go back. The messenger was sent, but did not reach Tomás Láidir until after he had crossed the river. Being a man of honour Tomás Láidir was unable to break his vow and did not return.
Úna Bhán died of a broken heart and was buried on Trinity Island, an island on Lough key. In his grief Tomás Láidir used to swim to the island every night to keep vigil at her grave. Eventually he got pneumonia and realising that he was dying requested that MacDermot allow him to be buried beside Úna Bhán. His request was granted and thus the two lovers were belatedly united.
Two trees grew up over their graves, entwining together to form a Lovers Knot, standing guard over the site.

OUR DAILY OLDIES: WHEN I STARTED THIS SECTION TO SHARE OLD MUSIC, I PROMISED OLDIES AND RARITIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD, NOT ONLY OLD SONGS FROM AMERICAN RADIO. THE DECADES BETWEEN THE 1950s AND 1970s (MAYBE SOME 80s TOO) WERE PRODIGIOUS DECADES WHERE THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME WAS PRODUCED, NOT ONLY IN THE U.S.A. BUT AROUND THE WORLD. THERE WAS A GOLDEN AGE OF EUROPEAN POP MUSIC AND TODAY'S SONG IS FROM THOSE TIMES. TODAY WE GO BACK TO ITALY WITH A BEAUTIFUL SONG FROM "MINA".
