A VERY LATE Saturday9. "Somewhere Over Laredo" Sorry Sam, just can't get here on the day sometimes.

Saturday 9: Somewhere Over Laredo (2025)

   

Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

   

1) In this song, Laney Wilson namechecks Tito's Vodka. Is there a product you you are very brand loyal to? (It doesn't have to be liquor. Maybe you always reach for Dawn Dishwashing Liquid, even if another soap is on sale.)

We have some random DWL from Costco or something.  I no longer have to do the shopping or the dishes.  Hubby delights in it.  lol 

 

2) The lyrics start with her in a window seat on a flight out of Houston. Do you prefer the window or the aisle?  I like the window seat but I never even flew commercial flights until I was an old lady... over 50. *winks at the other old ladies*   So far I've been on about a half dozen. 

 

3) She's dreaming of rodeo nights with the guy she loves. If you could spend this evening with anyone at all, anywhere at all, where would you go and who would be with you?  My hubby and we would be flying to San Frannie.

 

4) Lainey is from Baskin, LA, population 200. Do you prefer big cities or small towns?  I like small towns close to big cities.

 

5) There's a Netflix documentary about Lainey called Keepin' Country Cool. What show have you recently streamed?  The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare 

 

6) This week's song borrows liberally from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," so much so that "Rainbow" songwriters Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg receive credit. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the most beloved song from The Wizard of Oz. Can you name another?  Nope... sorry. 

 

7) In 2025, when this song was popular, more patients took advantage of telehealth than ever before. Have you ever had a virtual doctor visit? Yes.  It was sort of fun.  And it was a lot more comfortable than dragging my tired old Arse down to her office.  

 
8) Also in 2025, smart home technology was integrated into more new home construction. Do you use smart devices to automate your lights, thermostat, or doorbell? Nope

 

9) Random question – On which day are you happier: a) the day you take off on vacation or b) the day you return home from your trip? ....a....The day I take off.  

 Thank you Sam for another thing to do on a Saturday.  Even though I'm getting preeety lax about getting this up here on an ACTUAL SATURDAY! 

Sweet. Sweet Reminder of a Past Monday

 

SCREAMING IT….Can TEXAS PLEASE just stop killing innocent people?

https://innocenceproject.org/cases/melissa-lucio/

This woman is innocent.  Please…just Read the article and ask yourself why Texas is still pushing to kill this woman.  Monstrous! 

Sunday Komeekz!

  

Now THAT.... THAT is a very bad fortune indeed!  😂 

Three on Thursday: Warning... a mini anti war rant.

1. The week has been going by so fast that it is scary!

2. At least we aren't at war with anyone else, YET, although the back door to Putin's power just opened long enough to drop a deal through it, to control even more wealth than the man has ever known.. Guess who opened it?  So, is this what the Twin Oligarchs spoke of when they had the little private talk on board Putin's Ship in Alaska?  

3. Meanwhile, I can see a "Freight Train" roaring through that door from here.  One full Oil or maybe munitions.  ....from the Department of Defense... er.... sorry, the Department of War?  Does The V.P. know what the Secretary of War is up to?

I'm a Quaker, AND..... I REAAAALLLLY don't like what's happening. 

 

Wordless Wednesday .... shhhhhhh 😶

Music Monday: Hallelluja, Leanord Cohen's arrangement sung by K.D. Lang.

I can't post videos anymore that I know of...... I've tried everything.   

But I hope you WILL go and find it, and listen to it.   It is the most gorgeous song, and it's sung by one of the most powerful, beautiful voices I've ever heard.  This one is truly worth the effort.

There isn't any way I can link it either.  So this is just a prompt you will have to follow though with at YouTube.  I hope this singer, singing this song, moves you right to depths your soul. 

This is the last of Music Monday unless I can find a work-around for the problem that has arisen in this over-monetized New World Order.  

If you copy: Hallelujah , Leonard Cohen's arrangement sung by K.D. Lang, and paste it in a new window, you should find it at Duck Duck Go or at YouTube without a problem. 

But I hope you WILL go and find it, and listen to it.   It is the most gorgeous song, and it's sung by one of the most powerful, beautiful voice, ever.  This one is truly worth it.

Sunday Komiks. heeheehee
