Never thought retirement would be like this

I think bacon is food for the gods, Nancy. Now, I want some.
 

Wow! And I was afraid I'd be in big trouble posting about bacon. Meanderer, your video has been going on for 20 minutes in the background while I try to catch up here. Every time they turn over a slice I have to check it and see what all the sizzle is about. :rolleyes:

Wish they could include the aroma with the video and send it. Do you suppose they will be able to do that one day?

How come there is no grease on the camera lens? My eyeglasses would have been covered after 3 lbs and 45 minutes, standing much farther away. :confused:

Here's a song, by Elvis Costello!:cool:

Thank you, Meanderer. Embarrassed to admit I've never heard of Elvis Costello. :eek: He did a good job with Penny Lane, especially liked the man on trumpet. I searched a bit, and found his album called "Mighty Like a Rose" and got excited because that is one of my favorite *really* old time songs (written in 1901), but it wasn't that.

I like Paul Robeson's version best. Never heard of Robeson 5 years ago, either, but I'm impressed now.

Paul Robeson - Mighty Lak' a Rose (poor quality)

I always liked I've Got Tiger by the Tail, too. Cute and funny.

I'm all over the place with music likes. :shrug: Blame piano lessons.

Ha! Ha! I quoted you when it was Old Man River, and Volga Boatman showed up.

Anyway, Old Man River was beautiful, and live, no enhancements like they have now.

One more... and I promise I'll quit. :playful:

At the end of this news reel he sings, "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night" for union mine workers near Edinburgh Scotland. No accompaniment.

"The Tinkertoy Construction Set is a toy construction set for children. It was created in 1914 by Charles H. Pajeau, who formed the Toy Tinker Company in Evanston, Illinois to manufacture them. Pajeau, a stonemason, designed the toy after seeing children play with sticks and empty spools of thread. Pajeu partnered with Robert Pettit and Gordon Tinker to market a toy that would allow and inspire children to use their imaginations. After an initially slow start, over a million were sold".

When my grandson was around seven and out of bed before his mother, (he and his mother lived in the apartment above mine), he opened his Christmas tinker toy gift--he knew nothing about tinker toys-- had never seen them before. Well I was eager to see if he liked the gift so went upstairs and walked into the living room where he was working on it, and my jaw dropped in amazement. He had put together one of the most difficult patterns and acted as though putting it together had been easy. lol
