What is ISIL Max von Sydow?

How exciting this must have been

Did you know that if the sun blew-up seven minutes and 58 seconds ago we wouldn't even know it for another two seconds? Also, do you know what happened on this day in 1903? I will give you a hint that will, undoubtedly, give you the answer if you paid attention in history class. I wonder if they still teach the same things (plus more) that they did when MIDDLEagers and beyond like me were in school. The clue is "Kitty Hawk." Also,on this day in 1777, the French officially recognized the United States of America as an independent nation after we whipped Great Britain's butt (or bum as they call it) and Benjamin Franklin went over and told them about it. It would have been a lot sooner has Wilbur and Orville gotten their act together a few hundred years before they were born.

I miss Jeff. He is away at puppy camp for a few days. He is a lot like me: he's not very shy, he likes to make new friends, he is easily distracted, he is easily distracted, he is lovable, he forgets things, he has hair, he is easily distracted, he licks windows, he loves going on rides in the car. There are s many more things that we have in common but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.

There is news going around that ISIS (Islamic State of Israel and Levant - which is why President Obama calls it ISIL) is trying to destroy internet's core infrastructure. In a way I believe they would be doing us a favor if they accomplished that. I would have to get mailing addresses and print and mail the blog after that. I suppose I would have to charge a small fee (that would grow as it got more popular) that would cover the printing and postage. Incidentally, Levant is the historical geographical term used to refer to the location in the Mediterranean area (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon. Israel...). Some people who do not like President Obama make a big deal that he calls it ISIL instead of ISIS. Imagine a President that wants us to have accurate information and knowledge despite the catchy phrases the press has decided to use. The press is always so honest and forthright he blogged sarcastically.

That green area is Levant (the L is ISIL)

I just received a phone call so I looked at my watch and the number said 1-815-555-2536. I did not answer it because I remember that television shows would always use the prefix 555 as that was a bogus prefix in every area code. See how powerful Hollywood is? They can even control numbers. So, I typed it on the interwebnet and it says that the number "is not valid" and "the called may have 'spoofed' called ID." I love the word "spoofed." So, I am assuming that it was an attempt at a sales call or somebody trying to get me to work in a porn film or something. I will be right back. I am going to see if this mystery number left me a message. My bet is that there is no message.

There was no telephone message - shocking. I bet caller ID has killed the business of these types of vultures (pun intended) trying to sell us crap that we don't or lie to about us things about how their service or product is so great.

I probably will not blog again until Monday sometime but I may surprise you and I and blog in the meantime anyway just to spite myself. That is not against any of the the top ten life rules is it?

I thought Max von Sydow was still alive anyway

Is Max von Sydow still alive? I think I will check when I am done writing which will be very soon. Okay, I could not wait. He is still alive and, ironically (or coincidentally) again, he is in the new Star Wars film (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) which opens at midnight tonight or tomorrow morning depending on which way you look at it.

Okay, that's it for me today. I will let you know in the usual manners when I blog again. Thank you for checking-in. I wish I had more interesting things to write about today but I feel a bit more boring than usual today. TTT?...MITM (out) TA!
