OK, after posting the previous entry, I decided we have to give the two fan dancers their own entry. How I enjoyed the mustaches of the 1980s (and I still do to this day). Small wonder I was always going over to Grandpa and Grandma Country’s house to watch music videos from the U.K. off the satellite dish the size of a barn.
Here’s the two hot men with hot mustaches. And bonus points for the one with the sideburns.
One of my favorite songs from the 1980s is “Automatic” by The Pointer Sisters. While I suck at singing this at karaoke (my husband told me so in New Orleans), Ruth, Anita, and June grabbed this song from a pile of rejects at the studio and made it one of the most memorable tracks of the decade.
Apparently this video is from when the song was featured on “Top Of The Pops” in the U.K. I’m assuming this video is authentic. The fan twirling by the two mustached men (yum yum yum) and the Breakdancing from the muscle boy and the robot make for an ’80s Extravaganza.
The bits actually showing The Pointer Sisters is from their official video. I’ve never understood why the production was so cheaped out back in the day, but it’s fun to watch.
My next storm chasing trip is 30 days from today. The weather in the central part of the United States has been rather feisty for the past week and I’m wondering if Mother Nature is doing all her showing off in the earlier parts of spring this year. I’m sure there will be some opportunity to chase storms when I’m out there in the mid part of May, but I do have a plan B if things don’t come together. There’s always hiking and exploring places I’ve never visited on the agenda.
I’m starting to watch the 30 day weather models. While they just show trends with a whole bunch of uncertainty. The little green blob in Colorado, Kansas, and the Texas panhandle gives me just a touch of hope. There are plenty of other factors to consider when it comes to storm formation, but this is a promising start.
I’m a big fan of Jared Henderson’s YouTube channel. His thought provoking content often strikes a chord when I need to hear a tune, and today’s release is no different. In this video, Jared talks about why we “scroll” so much and some of the science around the habit.
I sometimes wonder if Steve Jobs knew in the back of his head as to what he was unleashing on the masses when Apple released the original iPhone. While a reliance on scrolling was possible with the devices that preceded the iPhone, it didn’t really hit the mainstream until the very early 2010s.
Please enjoy Jared’s video. Then put your phone away.
Just a guy with a husband. We’ve been together 28 years and he still makes me see fireworks on a daily basis. Hiker. Storm Chaser. Private Pilot. Tech Guy. Hackerish.
Weird? Eccentric!
