Friday Night Music: Labor Day

by

It’s already September y’all. I don’t know if time is flying because I’m having fun or because I’m working my ass off. Either way, it’s Labor Day weekend, and I smell football season in the air.

I appreciate y’all keeping things going when I’m scarce here. I’ve been doing a fair amount of overtime, and I also temporarily switched shifts. Today is my one day off (I go in tonight), so I thought I’d put up some fresh sheets. What better cause is there than music?

I was thinking about songs that revolve around working, and there were many to choose from. Donna Summer’s She Works Hard for the Money and Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 immediately came to mind. I thought about Johnny Kemp and Just Got Paid always rings a nice tone on a Friday.

Tapping into my country roots, I considered Alabama’s 40 Hour Week and Merle Haggard’s Workin’ Man’s Blues. I’m tired but not in a blue mood, so I continued my search. Then it hit me.

The best way to honor the holiday for the working man (IMHO) is to celebrate those who are putting in the work. We had a bit of a scare yesterday at the airport with a package that turned out okay. I tip my cap to those who respond to calls like that. In addition, I’m watching the prosecutors who are lining up cases to protect America and the Constitution. They are true to their oaths of office, and I respect that.

Happy Labor Day weekend to all, especially those who are taking care of business.

    • Yep…
      A total clusterfvck amongst the cultists in the HoR.

      Dems should continue to vote for Jeffries and let the cultists continue to fight it out and backstab each other.

      Repub voters … remember right before this speaker debacle there was the funding issue with the potential to close down a good bit of the government.
      McCarthy and other Rs directly stated they would not be working with the Dems on a resolution….. yes that was their choice.
      So save me the bs about the Dems not helping to elect a cultist as SoH.

      Dems should hold the line and let the Rs continue to demonstrate just how utterly pathetic they are at leading, managing, governing & administrating.
      I don’t care if there are Rs in the HoR who have or do run successful businesses (yes some of them do). Collectively in the HoR they pretty much suck at their job … non Rs damn sure know it and you R voters know it but just don’t have it in you to admit it.

    “First, some background about the project: Georgia DOT is planning to construct truck-only lanes on I-75 North. The project extends from I-475 in Macon to McDonough. There would be two barrier-separated travel lanes built parallel to the interstate. ”

    • I don’t know if it exists or if it was just something that was discussed but I remember reading about some super highway in Texas which would have truck-only lanes.
      My first reaction is that it seems like a pretty good idea. I drove a big U-haul towing my van down here from DC about a month ago and I kept thinking about how annoyed I would be if I’d been driving an 18-wheeler and constantly being cut off, or held back by people camping out going 10 under the speed limit in the middle lane.

      • I used to drive I-85 frequently from Atlanta to Greenville and it was 2 lanes from Hamilton Mill Parkway to exit 18 in South Carolina. It is very hilly so the trucks would slow the traffic down especially if some clown trucker tried to pass another truck on a hill. It needs to be widened to at least 3 lanes if it hasn’t been already. I last drove that stretch in 2019.

          They are adding a lane now, at least on the GA side. There’s construction starting maybe 10 miles south of the border and it goes on for quite a while south from there.

He heard a woman yelling at him and he stopped to listen. She was warning him that a fox with rabbies was attacking passing cars. He made about turn and headed home. Getting down to do some writing he realized he left his laptops in the lab. He got in his car to head out he saw bunch of squad cars around and the cops were trying to hunt the fox. To me the funny part they all had hand guns and no shot guns and no animal control vehicles around. I don’t care how good a shot one is, the chance of hitting a fast moving fox with a hand gun is slim to non. Yet they were trying.

  15. The agile two-seater Stella Terra solar car just finished a 620-mile off-roading adventure in Morocco and the Sahara, all on a single charge. The designers behind the project say it isn’t just about maximizing range and distance, but showing off the car’s lightweight, aerodynamic design and its ability to traverse tough terrain without any major drama or head rattling. Land Rover and BMW, take note.
    The brainchild of students at the Eindhoven University of Technology, the funky-looking olive green Stella Terra won’t win any best-looking awards. The design is geared to push “the boundaries of technology,“ says team manager Wisse Bose. “The Stella Terra must withstand the harsh conditions of off-roading while remaining efficient and light enough to be powered by the sun. That is why we had to design almost everything for Stella Terra ourselves, from the suspension to the inverters for the solar panels.”

    • COME HELL OR HIGH WATER

      When then-Vice President Joe Biden came to Savannah in 2013 to declare the dredging would happen “come hell or high water” it kicked off yet another phase of congressional wrangling for legislation that authorized the digging and funding to pay for it. It was only formally completed last year.

      Now, a little over a year after the expansion was finished, Georgia is pressing again for deeper water to capitalize on a shift in international trade that has made Savannah the nation’s fourth-busiest port for cargo shipped in containers. Officials say the booming port will lag competitors if their request is ignored.

  26. Heat in peppers is measured in Scoville Heat Units. Zero is bland, and a regular jalapeno pepper registers about 5,000 units. A habanero, the record-holder about 25 years ago, typically tops 100,000. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the Carolina Reaper at 1.64 million units.
    Pepper X’s record is an average of 2.69 million units. By comparison, pepper spray commonly holstered by police is around 1.6 million units. Bear spray advertises at 2.2 million units.

    Holy cow. I grow the Reaper in pots and that pepper is frigging hot. I can’t grind reaper in a spice grinder in the kitchen. Have to do it outdoors. I dilute it with red bells to make sauce for my kid. He loves that hot stuff. A little bit goes a long way.

    After years of estrangement and antagonism, Poland’s centrist opposition Civic Coalition, has a simple message for Brussels: “We, the fifth-largest country in the EU fold, are back!”
    The fact that they’re led by former European Council chief Donald Tusk means the EU believes them.

  37. “ “Trump and his lawyers have framed the potential order as an issue of free speech and warned that restraining his speech would unfairly favor his political opponents.”

    So, what they’re saying is that the political is moar important to the cult than rule of law.“

    Imo Trump and his attorneys are essentially admitting what many have said since he jumped in the 2024 race. He thinks it will assist in evading legal issues.
    Sure he loves the power and attention but he seems to have known since he left office indictments were coming. So in his mind running for POTUS is supposed to shield him from legal issues and of course if he wins potentially keep him out of prison.
    I’m not in the camp of those who think a convicted Trump will go to prison but Trump is trying to cover the bases in hopes that running might directly or indirectly help him out.

    I’m of the thought that even with all the current indictments they (legal system) will never catch up to and charge that POS for a tenth of the wrongdoing he has committed before being POTUS, while in office and since he left.

    FTG….

    – Everyone Eats Herring
    it really only comes out a few times a year and yes, most Swedes will eat it, even if only ‘to taste it.’

    No. Most Swedes will NOT eat it. When herring is served (they’re right about the occasions: Mid summer, etc.), it’s common to also serve an alternate dish for those who won’t eat herring.

    – They talk like the Swedish Chef

    Does anybody actually believe that? I doubt it, but the Swedish Chef character was allegedly based on a Norwegian roommate of Jim Henson’s.

    – Swedes are sexually liberated

    If you’re from some Catholic country like Italy, yeah maybe. Otherwise? Eh. Nudity though? Not a very big deal.

    – There’s an IKEA on every corner

    No. Also, there are much nicer furniture stores than IKEA.

    – Meatballs for dinner! Every day!

    Yes, with herring. Swedish meatballs ARE much superior to Italian meatballs though.

  65. While researching the economics of clean energy innovation, I came across a little-known story: that of Canadian inventor George Cove, one of the world’s first renewable energy entrepreneurs. Cove invented household solar panels that looked uncannily similar to the ones being installed in homes today—they even had a rudimentary battery to keep power running when the sun wasn’t shining. Except this wasn’t in the 1970s. Or even the 1950s. This was in 1905.
    Cove’s company, Sun Electric Generator Corporation, based in New York, was capitalized at US$5 million (around US$160 million in today’s money). By 1909, the idea had gained widespread media attention. Modern Electric magazine highlighted how “given two days’ sun… [the device] will store sufficient electrical energy to light an ordinary house for a week.”
    It noted how cheap solar energy could liberate people from poverty, “bringing them cheap light, heat and power, and freeing the multitude from the constant struggle for bread.” The piece went on to speculate how even airplanes could be powered by batteries charged by the sun. A clean energy future seemed to be there for the taking.
    Then, according to a report in The New York Herald on 19 October 1909, Cove was kidnapped. The condition for his release required forgoing his solar patent and shutting down the company. Cove refused and was later released near the Bronx Zoo.
    But after this incident, his solar business fizzled out. Which seems odd—in the years before the kidnapping, he had developed several iterations of the solar device, improving it each time.

    • How, exactly, does he propose to do that, because I can only think of one way, and that’s to, um, “neutralize” Iran’s military.
      If it was a shitty, not well thought-out idea to invade Iraq, attacking Iran would be the dumbest idea since the last time someone decided to invade Russia in the winter.

  75. The 24-year-old says an international celebrity messaged her bodyguard while she was in a club in Miami offering the grand sum for the privilege of enjoying her company for a night.
    Lehmann says she turned the offer down but still has the proof of the offer from the unnamed suitor.

    Got to be DiCaprio. That is sick.

  76. NASA’s Psyche spacecraft rocketed away Friday on a six-year journey to a rare metal-covered asteroid.
    Most asteroids tend to be rocky or icy, and this is the first exploration of a metal world. Scientists believe it may be the battered remains of an early planet’s core, and could shed light on the inaccessible centers of Earth and other rocky planets.
    SpaceX launched the spacecraft into an overcast midmorning sky from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Named for the asteroid it’s chasing, Psyche should reach the huge, potato-shaped object in 2029.

    NASA is doing some cool research. They got out of day to day work of ferrying astraunots to space center. Now they are concentrating on far reaching experiments.

  77. That bill that passed to better our infrastructure and increase renewable is a boon for Michigan. That bill has $8 B for hydrogen. Michigan gets $1 B of it to set a plant in Ypsilanti as the hub for H2 production. Refueling centers for big trucks will be built. Several thousand construction jobs will be created and 1500 permanent jobs to run everything. Michigan will be the mid West hub. Gov Whitmer should be congratulated for bringing this project to her state. What is Ohio gov doing for his state. Zilch nada.

  79. Stands was down in my neck of the woods yesterday. He, of course was at a meeting with other folks like him that are trying to save the world. He swung by for a porch session. I think he likes the new floor. We talked about all kindsa groovy stuff. He checked out the girls newest guitar and our newish silly little Rottweiler. It was great.

  80. Letter to the editor, in the outbox.
    “On Sunday, Mr Krugman of the NYT explains the benefits of the pill
    I am informed that modern birth control has had a profound economic and social impact. And if that comes at a surprise to me, I have plenty of company (paraphrased). Mr. Krugman, I don’t know a single woman who is unaware of this. Not one. Perhaps you are speaking for the other half of the population.

    And then I learn, around 1970 there was a quiet revolution .…”as women began to view work much the same way men did” Sir, do you know when the pill became available to nonmarried women? 1972.
    Woman didn’t have a great awakening in the 70s and say, I too can do this. Women were finally given the tools, which were available in 1960 to married women do what they wanted.

    I had to explain this to my daughters, as they have always had access. Paul Krugman is 70 years old. He lived through this era. Of course, he was a man, so maybe it didn’t come to his attention?

    • I should make it clear, I do not consider the gentlemen of this blog to be part of “the other half of the population”–at least as it applies here

      I don’t know anything about his love life, but I think it would usually require some effort on the man’s part to have it not “come to his attention”. Plenty of women might not be comfortable talking about it either so there’s that, but then what made them uncomfortable enough in the first place?

  81. With it being the international break in soccer (no EPL games) and an off week for GT I had no distractions from yardwork.
    Mowing grass for 2 hours. Cutting down bushes for 2 hours. Loading up the truck with brush and taking it to the township brush dump.
    I discovered one thing – I’m getting too old for this sh!t.

    I’m refreshing myself with a modified high ascorbic acid juice – aka a screwdriver.

  82. I’ve said all week that UGA wouldn’t take Vandy seriously and they’d go back to playing with their food.

    Vandy looked really good today and were in it ’til the very end.
