😢 How Do You Keep The Music Playing?
First, I want to say thanks to Quincy Jones for featuring James on his album 'The Dude' back in 1981 because I've been a huge fan ever since. I absolutely loved this man's voice and that 'mating call' or whatever it was he did when he sang, can never be duplicated by anyone else. It was his trademark. He was one of my favorite balladeers and he always mastered his part of any duet or collaboration he sang on. He was only 66 years old and I can't believe his voice has been silenced on earth forever. But, I know God has a special place for him in His heavenly choir, along with all the other greats who have gone on before him. He will be missed, but all we need to do is play one of his many beautiful songs, sit back, and let his extraordinary voice soothe our aching hearts. And, to his family, who will miss him the most—May God's peace be with you and please know that James' legion of fans will be lifting all of you up in prayer.

The End of an Era
The infamous 'flipboard' that let you know when all the trains were coming and going at Amtrak 30th Street Station is no more. I've been listening to that clicking sound and watching that board flip for many years whenever my mom traveled back and forth to Florida on the Silver Meteor and Silver Star trains. It will be missed but sadly, everything must change and nothing stays the same...

The King of K'Nex Strikes Again 2
3-in-1 Classic Amusement Park
This Swing Ride is a bonus build from the K'NEX Thrill Ride series of building sets released in 2018. The dimensions and number of pieces are not specified because it's an alternate build from the 3-in-1 Amusement Park set, which is designed for builders ages 9-14 who can work independently. The motor requires 2-AA batteries (not included) and you'll need a small Phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartment. My grandson put it together in approximately 90 minutes. YGB!

Note to Republicans...
Are you suffering during the government shutdown because of the very people you elected? They're all laughing at you now, but remember all of their names and faces so YOU can have the last laugh on Election Day. If the dog bites you once, it's the dog's fault. But, if the dog bites you twice, it's YOUR fault!
