  1. So nice to see it in the original Hungarian.

  2. Nice header photo.

    Now, I'll be forever wondering whether the sun is rising or setting - probably the same thing Simon and Garfunkel were wondering when they recorded this song.

    1. It was setting, like it does every day, over Philadelphia way far away in the distance.

      The names are different in the video, but the issues are somewhat the same. Eerily ironic. Humans will just never get it right.

    2. The issues of today, that is.

    3. I thought that's why you posted this now.

      In 1966, I was just graduating from a high school where that sun is setting in your photo. No one suspected then how much worse the 7 o'clock news would be getting in the years just ahead, or how much of it would be choreographed by our former vice-president.

      The seeds of cynicism were being sown in an entire generation. And some of those seeds can still be seen growing in places like my blog.

      I wonder if Monsanto makes something to control that.

  3. Former vice-president? Dan Quayle has a lot to answer for.

    1. What do you mean? At least he knows how to spell potatoe!

    2. True. And he did know that Murphy Brown caused the LA riots.

    3. BTW, that Quayle clip was supposedly filmed in a Trenton elementary school, and the last I heard about that kid, he was doing time.

    4. Serves the little bugger right. That will teach him to embarrass someone with a name like Danforth.
