Quiet Sunday Mornings

-

 I listen to Chip Davis Dayparts Sunday Morning Coffee every Sunday morning while I drink my coffee and smoke my pipe.  I am pretty relaxed this morning after getting the best night’s sleep I have had in quite some time.  I watch an old movie from 1965 last night and it was a B movie about a spy who could transfer himself from place to place.  His car was an AMC Javelin.  

I loved the looks of that car when it first came out.  But it is a very expensive car to own these days with a lot of work having to be done just to maintain them.  I love to watch old movies just for the cars.  My favorite old show to watch these days is Columbo.  Peter Falk did a great hub portraying Columbo.  

A lot of cars in Columbo are old classic expensive cars. I wouldn’t own a classic today as parts are getting more and more rare.  Very few mechanics today can work on old cars.  Mt brother own a 1963 XKE Jaguar, but he can work on it himself as a hobby but he’s finding parts hard to come by.  

I love to see old tech back then and see what they thought future tech would look like in the future.  The first cell phones were modeled after the communicators from Star Trek.  It’s fascinating to see what the future looked like in old movies.  Many TV screens back then were CRT not the flat screens of today. Star Wars was probably the first scu-fi movie to get rid of wheels.  

And in old movies they could travel faster than the speed of light.  I’m just fascinated by old TV shows and movies.  I don’t know many actors today.  I enjoy watching actors I know.  Mark Hanel was an unknown back then, but today he is known by a lot of his work.  It’s just fun to watch old movies.  

I’m an old guy smoking my pipe this morning.  It’s my Nording Number 2 pipe with some Cornell and Diehl Old College pipe tobacco.  I’m just listening to music as I drink my morning coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace and love to each one of you.

Dave

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

Bach and a Pipe

-
 Bach was known to drink wine and smoke a pipe.  I did a little research in the area and found he was known to use tobacco in a pipe.  Tobacco came from the New World and before the New world was settled tobacco was traded back and forth.  He had access to tobacco as it took some wealth back then to afford the tobacco.  It was used mostly in the upper classes of Europe and it is said that his cousin supplied him the tobacco. As to whether men of great wealth generally used tobacco is a debate that countries today.  Shakespeare is not known to have smoked tobacco, but it seems he used pot and cocaine, which were found in clay pipes excavated from his property.  But many think it would be scandalous to suggest Shakespeare used tobacco.   When we get to the settling of the New World, pipe smoking was common among men.  The odds are great that great historical figures were pipe smokers, but most of this is conjecture but we simply don’t know. ...

Almost

 Tomorrow ends the 14th year since my hear attack.  I had the widow-maker and only by the grace of God and a good heart surgeon I survived.  I had never experienced such pain in my life!  I knew I wasn’t going to die but my heart was damaged so much it functions at about 50%.   It was a Saturday and we were going to visit my mom.  The timing couldn’t have been better!  We could have been out on the road.  It was about nine O’clock in the morning and I had to pump up a tire on the car.  The funny thing is I had a BP check in October and it was 120/80 with no signs of anything being wrong.   I was about 30 pounds over weight and I simply was not taking very good care of myself.  I was under some duress during that time, but still no sign of it happening.  My wife questioned as to whether it was a heart attack but I told her to call 911.  I had no doubt what was happening.   The squad came and they confirmed it was a hea...
