"Best Dairy Queen ever. This is a family owned place and it really shows ..." (quote from a user review at Google)

Some things never change, it seems.
This was one of wemo's favorite hang-outs way back in the early 1980s … and boy, did he love to count the carriages of those endless freight trains on the tracks! –– What an eager student.

Fortress in the mist





"Well, you know, in them days of old, there were those prince archbishops and them built that castle up there in the mist and it was meant to keep us humble town folks way down, kinda low-life, ya see?"

One more gripping statement from Salzburg town folk

Elvis, Elvis!










As everybody on the blog team seems to just love Elvis Costello,
and wemo's getting sentimental about his academic year abroad in Bowling Green OH, USA,
1982, the very same year when 'Imperial Bedrooms' was released and available at Finders Records, B. G. where
'The Best' were burning down the house at the best-liked rock club in town
(many nice Harleys parked outside every night) …

so let there be an homage to great Elvis Costello and his unique glasses; here as a charming young man – and ain't he lovely … if anyone of us was, say, like … smashin' Dolly Parton, we'd just know what a woman's gotta do … well ever since, Elvis met a nice lady, and seems to have moved in with her, so even smashin' Dolly would've kept her fingas off.
Let them be happy ever after!

loveable weirdo fans

Happy new year, v.2





After seeing those season's greetings below somebody in the blog team got the screaming fits: "What about winter as it used to be, what about my tractor and the little snow plough of the olden, golden days?!"

There we are. Happy new year!

Phew; that was close. It's heartbreaking to see a competent adult turn into a little kid that's so terribly in need, of something so easy to get. It just takes someone to do it. Luckily this is a big multiple personality blog team, there's always somebody helpful around.

Season's greetings once again, from wemo, from the nasty lads of the back office crew,
from the sound technician who's just piping in Over the rainbow,
from the blogwart who's trying to relate Candle in the wind to Lacan's jouissance,
and they're all not a big happy family, but humans in all their need and distress,
and a feel for the needy – and with just a few simple means to help
when it's needed, and the awareness to stand back
when it's due.
"Let's hope it's a good one!" – 2011, c_Human rights, human needs, & human awareness

Lost … and found



It's disappeared from practical IT, yet I miss that icon of early Mac and Atari users, those pioneers of usability vs
"An Adresse 1.23444.xxxf…you ist der schwere Ausnahmefehler xmrfb.wrdlbrmbfd.0815 aufgetreten, wouldn't you rather like to kick that PC out the window?"

Cool Mac or Atari users would just need something like the above to know whats happening: Something's crashed, and usually it wasn't the computer as a whole …
Maybe only a few among us may have experienced a serious 'kernel panic' on a more recent Mac, a gripping, virtually psychedelic visual experience that is privileged for the chosen few who would really manage to overload their system to the brink of total breakdown.

for some comic relief have a look here for the 'online T-shirt' on post Aug 12
