different celebrity

The really interesting people are the people who fly under the radar.

It’s not the Kardashians who are going to make a good mark on the world.

It’s the men and women doing stuff like this….growing and making and living simply.

At least, that’s my opinion.

(You know what they say about opinions, right?)

We should celebrate these folks….but they wouldn’t be able to be so low-key if we paid any intense attention to them, so, maybe, that wouldn’t be so good.

Maybe it’s best to just let them be.

I appreciate getting a chance to know some of these cool people.

It’s a good thing to know that people are scraping by….by growing stuff.

It’s a good way to live.

Everybody has a “Pa”….

“He’s made us better people”.

What a tribute to a father it is to be able to say something like that about him.

My own father has been gone now for years…but no one ever is really gone if you care about them.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there.

Happy Father’s Day to me.

Thanks for everything, Dad.

 

 

Jason Momoa and Carhartt….

I don’t know much about Jason Momoa.

I’ll watch the new movie, that Justice League one that he’s in.

I will watch Aquaman when it comes out.

I’m a sucker for a “comic book movie”.

But….I really didn’t know much about Jason Momoa.

I knew about Carhartt.

What a great commercial this is!

Makes me like them both (Momoa and Carhartt) more than I did before I saw it.

Whoever did this….thanks!

Good film, good work.

Me likey.

This isn’t a “tiny house”.

Thank goodness.

I think that when people develop multiple television shows about tiny houses that it’s time for my interest to start waning a bit.

That whole “hard walled tent” idea is still a good one….but it’s gotten kind of goofy, all these people looking to put their stuff into storage and downsize, etc.

If you can find a big enough storage facility, it really takes the pressure off when you “downsize”.

A tiny house is kind of like some trendy new purse or something.

Those shows make it feel “trendy” to live in a really small space.

Trendy=yuck.

This house is a great example of what I’d build….if I was going to build a small home out on 40 acres in Colorado.

Two sided porch, what looks like tinted concrete floors….nice loft that you can actually use….468 sq. ft.

And….it’s off grid.

Good stuff.

Anyway….”too small” never really works… anyway.

NOW, THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!! GET ME TO THE BEACH!!

Jenny and I talk about having a place at the beach.

We talk about having a place in Idaho.

We talk about having a fixing up our small farm.

We talk about a lot of things.

Can you imagine what it would mean for a family to grow up with a place like this one at Nag’s Head in North Carolina?

How cool would that be to have a place….ummmmmm, this COOL…to meet at and spend family time together?

What a destimation….errrr, destination…..(that’s a funny misspelling….”destimation”….like a train wreck family getogether….a descimation….funny, sort of…Freudian slip)….that would be to have a beach house like this old one.

I guess that if you don’t dream nothing ever happens…..but, if all you do is dream….nothing ever happens.

Dreams are good starting points.

It would be good to have sandy feet, a cool screened porch ….and a glass of iced tea or a cold beer….sometime very soon.

I’d like that.

you never call anymore…See the World ep 14

It was going to be a regular thing…that weekend posting of another Iohan Gueorguiev video….but….I got lazy and distracted and didn’t do it.

Iohan’s videos are some of the best stuff that’s on YouTube.

Good, good, good stuff.

Really.

Here he is, bicycling around the world….putting in the hours….pedaling out the mileage….and I don’t even pay him the respect he deserves by reposting his videos on my blog.

What the heck?!! What’s wrong with me?

Sorry, Iohan.

I’ll try to do better in the future.

Thanks for the videos.
