An evening pause: How one man found a better way to spend his weekend.
Hat tip Cotour.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Its the hair and the Elvis suit that gets me, amazing.
Spectacle, symbolism and individualism works!
In entertainment, in politics, in life, it has its place in demonstrating self confidence and leadership.
Find and do it your way, no apologies.
Its either that or you are just a nutter, and time ultimately tells that tale.
The song sums up the universal truth: Men are romantic, women are transactional.
But otherwise, don’t seek or try get life knowledge from entertainers and songwriters. They have a purpose, but not that. Truth is when your’e drunk enough Tennessee Whiskey taste like any other hard liquor and that’s absolutely no way of judging a woman.

“An English language song written by Elisabeth Hauptmann in 1925 and set to music by Franz Servatius Bruinier and Kurt Weill for Bertolt Brecht’s 1927 Mahagonny-Songspiel. Brecht also used it for his 1930 opera Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. The line “Show us the way to the next pretty boy” during the recording was changed by Jim Morrison to “Show me the way to the next little girl”.

“Federal Ban on Home Made Bourbon Struck Down by Federal Court”

“The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit handed down a landmark ruling in McNutt v. DOJ, striking down the federal statutes that have criminalized home distilling for over 150 years. The law, rooted in an 1868 tax act, made it a federal crime — punishable by up to five years in prison — to operate a still in any home, yard, shed, or enclosure connected to a residence. ”
“Remarkably, the basis for striking down the home distillation ban was the court’s finding that the Federal government had exceeded its Constitutional tax authority—in other words, a court recognized that the federal government does not have infinite authority to suppress the liberties of American citizens simply by calling that suppression “a tax.””
Us Western Pennsylvanians have been right all along.
