A suspension of hostilities was agreed to in 1918, yet it was not the end of The Great War. Appeasement without enforcement of sanctions led to unimaginable atrocities a few short years later.
May we never make that mistake again.

St. Pancras Hotel
St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London. St. Pancras is the Patron Saint of Teenagers:
We have no reliable historical information about this martyr. Legend tells us he was born at the end of the third century and brought up by an uncle in Rome after the death of his parents. Both he and his uncle became Christians. Pancras was beheaded in 304 during Diocletian’s persecution. He was only 14 years old [via].

Update: I had pre-scheduled this post with the assumption that Hillary Clinton would win the Election since all the polls and talking heads said she would. I am pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
There is still hope for this Great Country.
Worth pondering.

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

Hot Links for Algernon
Josh Jennings for Congress. He speaks truth to power as far as he knows.
4 November 2016 – Fayetteville, NC: Twenty hold-ups in 2-1/2 minutes by same man. No arrests, suspect at large.
This omni-directional conveyor belt is called a Celluveyor. Here’s another one with a jumpy jivey music track [via].
Here’s what happens if you dress up as your dog’s favorite toy for Halloween.
I quit watching TV decades ago because the family arguments on what to watch weren’t worth it. Recently they introduced me to The Walking Dead on Netflix and I got hooked. Three weeks later I’m overruled again, and The Walking Dead has been preempted by reruns of Roseanne. Now I’m back to not watching TV.
Ever feel like you’re merely a walking protein?
El peinado del emoticono de la caca. (Hint: it’s a hair-doo.)
John Lydon [aka Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols] once appeared before Judge Judy. Here’s the vid.
Noodling. Yeah, we posted the vid before, and you’ll never do it in your lifetime, unless you really want to.
Don’t forget to reset your calendars tonight.
Saturday Matinee – Nature Rx, Dan Martinez & Buckwheat Zydeco
This is a Public Service Announcement, posted as required by the Federal Internet Content Control Act (FICCA) of 2017.
Dan Martinez aka the Piano Juggler is amazing [h/t Bunkessa].
The 1961 hit “Hey Baby” by Bruce Channel (featuring Delbert McClinton on harmonica) is one of those songs that’s almost impossible to do a bad cover of. DJ Ötzi’s version from 2000 is probably the best known, but Buckwheat Zydeco‘s take from 1994 is pretty good (and there’s a 1970 VW Karmann Ghia in the vid, too).
Have a great weekend, folks. More coming up.
