Have A Laugh On Me
My Bother and Sister were talking about what they felt their Grandchildren would be saying about them in fifty years' time. My Brother went first and said, "I would like my Grandchildren to say, he was great fun to be with." My Sister then said, "Fifty years from now, I want mine to say that I was a loving Grandmother." Turning to me, they asked, "So what do you want your Grandchildren say about you in fifty years?" I thought about it and said, "I want them to say, he looks really good for his age!"
Last week, Putin received a coded message, reportedly from Ukrainian Parliament. It read: 370HSSV-0773H Putin was stumped and asked his Prime Minister what the message could mean. The Minister was totally stumped too, so they passed it to the top Russian Code Breakers, who spent 2 days trying to decipher it. Unable to crack the code, the Code Breakers sent it to the Secret Police. The Director of the Secret Police suggested Putin should turn the message upside down!
(It is just a joke, to my Soviet readers.)
Teacher: "Today, we're going to talk about the Basic Tenses which can be found in most languages. Now, if I say, "I am beautiful", which tense is it? "
Student: Obviously, it is the past tense.
My teenage daughter came home from school today in a real rage. She angrily said to me, "You lied to me. We've just had sex education in school today, Dad. You told me if I have sex before my eighteenth birthday, my boyfriend would die!" I put down my phone, look at her, and said smiling, "Oh, he will sweetheart, he will!"
One night a man walks into a bar looking really sad. The bartender asks the man what he wants to drink. He says, "Oh, just a beer." The bartender then asks, "What's wrong? Why are you so down today?" The man says, "My wife and I had a big fight. She says she won't talk to me for a month." The bartender says laughingly, "So what's wrong with that?" The man says "The month ends tonight!"

I Hate Dow / Monsanto Co.
One of my favoriteCompaniesto hate,just got a real setback by theU.S. Court Of Appeals,when they ordered a ban onChlorpyrifos.
Court Orders EPA To Ban Chlorpyrifos, A Pesticide Linked To Brain Damage In Kids By Chris D'Angelo for MSN.com/NewsA federal judge on Thursday ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to ban a widely used pesticide that’s been linked to learning disabilities in children. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled in a 2-to-1 decision that the EPA offered “no defense” of its decision to delay a ban on chlorpyrifos ― a move the court said violated the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The law governs pesticides and requires the EPA to ban chemicals from being used on food if they are proven to cause harm.
Chlorpyrifos, produced by Dow Chemical Co. and commonly known by its trade name Lorsban, is used in nearly 100 countries on more than 50 different crops. It was largely banned in 2000 for at-home use in the U.S. but continues to be widely used on thousands of American farms.
Isn't that great.The chemical is"Linked To Learning Disabilities In Children,"but do you think that theDow Chemical Co.would take it off the market voluntarily?No,of course not.What's a few million children havingBrain Damage Worldwide,compared to the huge profits they rake in every year? Besides,I'm sure theBig ShotsatDoworMonsanto only eat high priced organic products,from their private farms, where they know their children won't consume Chlorpyrifos!
This is,Tomorrow I Need Some Humor In My Life,Jim Hauenstein,

I Need To Say It
Okay,I am going to whine a little.I have been saying this for a long time now.Police no longerProtect & ServetheCitizensof thisCountry.Because they are trained as aParamilitary Forceto control thePeoplewho disagree with thePowers That Be.They see everydayCitizensas theEnemy.I actually heardTwo Officerstalking,when I went to court with a lawsuit I had,and one of them said to the other,"Don't worry about pulling people over for no reason. Everybody is guilty of something."What happened toHuman Decency?People should be treated with respect first,and maybe then everyone would stop mistrusting thePolice.This is an old story.You might have already heard about it.But I can't get it out of my head until I write about it.
Police Officer Points Gun At Children Yelling At Him, Then Detains Person Who Took Video! By Jason Lemon for Newsweek.comA video of a police officer in El Paso, Texas pointing his gun at a group of children as they insult him for arresting their friend has gone viral. Garnering more than 4.3 million views on Facebook and tens of thousands of shares, the video, which was uploaded Friday evening, shows two cops roughly holding one boy to the sidewalk as a group of young children and a few women criticize their actions. At the beginning of the clip, the arresting officer removes his gun from his holster and points it at the children yelling at him. The five and a half minute video documents the officer throwing the boy to the ground before dragging him to a police car. Another boy who is filming the incident and yelling at police is targeted by the officers, and also placed in the police car. Before the officers take him away, he appears to hand his phone to a woman.
https://binged.it/2OULgBdAboveLinkis also aYouTubevideo of what happened.Pulling a gun on children?Is thatProtecting & ServingtheCommunity?Is that good for anyCommunity?
This is,Not Being Influenced By The Bull You See On Cops Shows,On TV,Jim Hauenstein,

I Was Blinded By Science
And you thought theSpace Shuttle Programended in the year 2011.Then what is up withX-37B?
X-37B: The Air Force's Mysterious Space Plane
By Mike Wall, Senior Writer for Space.com The U.S. Air Force's unmanned X-37B space plane has flown four clandestine missions to date, carrying secret payloads on long-duration flights in Earth orbit. The robotic vehicle resembles NASA's famous space shuttle but is much smaller. The X-37B is about 29 feet (8.8 meters) long and 9.5 feet (2.9 m) tall, with a wingspan just less than 15 feet (4.6 m). At launch, it weighs 11,000 lbs. (4,990 kilograms).
Massive Glowing "Rogue Planet" Spotted Drifting In Space By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News A massive glowing "rogue" planetary-mass object has been discovered, surprising scientists with not only its size, but also the fact it's not orbiting a star. The object, named SIMP J01365663+0933473, has a magnetic field more than 200 times stronger than Jupiter’s and is nearly 13 times the size of the gas giant. At its size, it's right between the size of a planet and a failed star, so scientists will need to study it further to determine exactly what it is. “This object is right at the boundary between a planet and a brown dwarf, or ‘failed star,’ and is giving us some surprises that can potentially help us understand magnetic processes on both stars and planets,” said Caltech graduate student Melodie Kao, who led the study, in a statement. The study's findings have been published in the Astrophysical Journal.
Artificial Meteor Shower Displays Are Coming
By Rachel England, @rachel_england in Space Fireworks. So passé, right? That could well be the thinking of one Japanese start-up, which is developing shooting stars on demand, and plans to put on the world's first artificial meteor shower in early 2020.Tokyo-based ALE has created micro-satellites that release tiny orbs that glow brightly when they enter the atmosphere, simulating the dazzling spectacle of a meteor shower. The chemicals involved are apparently a closely-guarded secret, but each satellite is able to carry 400 balls -- enough for 20-30 meteor events -- which can be tinkered with to produce multi-colored "stars". Each star will burn for several seconds before being completely burned up, long before they're close enough to Earth to pose any danger.The first satellite will hitch a ride into space via a rocket launched by Japan's space agency in March 2019, while the second will be launched in mid-2019 on a private sector rocket. The company is also looking at the possibility of using existing non-operational satellites to create "giant" shooting stars.

Jean-Luc Picard Lives
I might be late to this party,but what a party is it going to be.What am I talking about?
Patrick Stewart To Reprise His Role As Jean-Luc Picard In New Star Trek Series!
CBSNews.com
It will be streamed on CBS All Access. The still-unnamed series will explore the "next chapter" of Picard's life. "I feel I'm ready to return to him for the same reason — to research and experience what comforting and reforming light he might shine on these often very dark times," Stewart said in a statement. "I look forward to working with our brilliant creative team as we endeavor to bring a fresh, unexpected and pertinent story to life once more."
CBS already has oneStar Trekshow being streamed onAll Access.It's calledDiscovery.When the show premiered onNetwork Televisionthe ratings were off the chart.The cheapest way to getCBS All Accessis to pay$5.99per month.This is with commercials.$9.99without.They have three channelsand loads of old programming to watch.That's the problem for me.If it isn'tStar Trekthere is nothing else I want to watch!
This is,Counting My Pennies,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Star Trek?” I asked her. “Really?”
“What?” she demanded, bending unnaturally black eyebrows together.
“There are two kinds of people in the universe, Molly,” I said. “Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans.”
She sniffed. “This is the post-nerd-closet world, Harry. It’s okay to like both.”
“Blasphemy and lies,” I said.”

Deep Unconsciousness
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
"I don't understand where I am?"
"Everything around me is in complete darkness."
"Except."
"Except for this egg shape bubble of white light which surrounds me."
"I can't see any beams of light from above, illuminating this area around me. I don't see anyway, for the light to be coming from the floor, upwards."
"But, when I move, the surrounding light moves with me."
"Hello? Can anyone hear me?"
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"Is someone playing a joke on me?"
"Am I in a huge warehouse? Or maybe in a large aircraft hanger?"
"When I walk, in any one direction, I never seem to reach a wall."
"I never reach the end."
"The floor seems like cement, when I walk on it, but when I touch it, it is not cold. Like cement can get at night. When I hit it with my knuckles, my fingers do not hurt."
"What is this place?"
"I have had enough."
"I am going to sit right here until, whomever is playing this joke on me is bored and turns on the lights."
This is the first time I wished that I carried a watch with me, I thought. I cannot, for the life of me, tell if I have been sitting here for five minutes, or five hours. I am neither thirsty, nor hungry. I am neither tired, nor energetic. I am, I am just, here.
"This has gone on long enough." I demanded.
"Can anyone hear me."
"Please. I'm scared."
"I woke up.....
"You woke up you say?" Interrupted a familiar sounding voice. "Are you sure?"
It was my voice. Somebody was copying my voice to a T.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
The voice said, "I am happiness. I am anger. I am emotional. I am rational. I am your memories, your hopes, your dreams. I am you."
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.
It's as if, the impersonator, didn't hear my last question. He kept on talking, answering my second query.
"I want what you want. I want what we both want."
"And what is that?" I asked.
"I want the passion back, that I felt for my wife, when I first met her. I want to be a better husband, a better father. I want my children to grow up happy. I want to stop worrying about the future. I want to be contended with where I am now in life."
"So you think I am not happy?" I asked the voice.
There was a long moment of silence.
So I asked the voice, "Is my family OK? Are they alright?'
"Not if you stay here. Not if you don't want to wake up."
"What are you talking about?"
"Listen," he said. "Listen closely."
At first nothing. And then.
"That is my wife's voice. She is crying. She keeps calling my name, asking me to wake up. Wake up from what?" I asked the voice.
"Now it is your choice." Said the voice to me. "You can either sleep now, restfully. Be contented with the life you had, and travel on to your next journey in blissful peace."
The voice paused, giving me time to think about what he has just said.
"Or, you can wake up and go back to the world you once knew. To your wife, to your children, watching them grow up, while you grow old."
I knew the voice paused this time, so I could give him my answer.
"I want to go home, to my family. They need me and I need them."
"Okay then," said a more jovial voice. "Just listen to your wife's voice and follow it."
I got up. Started walking towards my wife's voice, and as I did, the egg shape bubble of white light grew bigger and bigger. Until.......

"I don't understand where I am?"
"Everything around me is in complete darkness."
"Except."
"Except for this egg shape bubble of white light which surrounds me."
"I can't see any beams of light from above, illuminating this area around me. I don't see anyway, for the light to be coming from the floor, upwards."
"But, when I move, the surrounding light moves with me."
"Hello? Can anyone hear me?"
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"Is someone playing a joke on me?"
"Am I in a huge warehouse? Or maybe in a large aircraft hanger?"
"When I walk, in any one direction, I never seem to reach a wall."
"I never reach the end."
"The floor seems like cement, when I walk on it, but when I touch it, it is not cold. Like cement can get at night. When I hit it with my knuckles, my fingers do not hurt."
"What is this place?"
"I have had enough."
"I am going to sit right here until, whomever is playing this joke on me is bored and turns on the lights."
This is the first time I wished that I carried a watch with me, I thought. I cannot, for the life of me, tell if I have been sitting here for five minutes, or five hours. I am neither thirsty, nor hungry. I am neither tired, nor energetic. I am, I am just, here.

Ehrich And Arthur
"Arthur, my friend," said the five-foot-six-inch balding American immigrant. He was talking to his friend from England. A mustached, stout, six-foot-one-inch fellow, of immense stature.
They have been friends for many years, but recently, the now American citizen, who went by the name of Harry, had been grieving so dishearteningly about the death of his mother, that Arthur was looking for a way to ease the pain his friend.
"Arthur my friend. Do you really believe this will work?"
"Of course Harry." Replied his friend. "Lady Jean is renowned for her work as a medium, here, in Atlantic City."
Arthur smiled at his friend, in a consoling way, and continued. "Do you believe, I would have sailed, across the Atlantic Ocean with my family, if I did not believe this woman could help you?"
Harry, looked up at his friend, forced a smile, and said, "Okay, I will be there tonight."
It was just before midnight when the two friends were ushered in to see Lady Jean. The men were told to sit in a semicircle, with her, at a round table.
The electric lights were turned off and candles were lit, to set the mood.
Lady Jean, in the middle of the two men, grabs hold of one hand from each man. Then, soon after bending her head down, starts chanting incomprehensible sounds, as if she is being channeled by a spirit, from the beyond.
Popping her head up and rolling her eyes to the back of her head, lady Jean begins to speak.
"Harry? Harry is that you?" She says, in a gravely, elderly way. "Can I talk to my boy Harry? Are you there Harry? Please talk to me."
But Harry is angered by the woman's obvious attempt to swindle him, while he is in such a state of vulnerability. He feels, that this woman, in this seance, is endeavoring to exploit his grief and loss of his Mother, for her own gains.
He stands up and yells, "You are a charlatan woman and I will expose you to the world." Lifting his right hand up and pointing his index finger into the air.
Harry then pounds his way out of the room, with Arthur in quick pursuit.
"Harry, what is wrong?" His friend asks.
"Arthur," he says in a calmer mood, when the two reach the out-of-doors. "My Mother, Cecelia, never once called me Harry. My real name is Ehrich. She always called me Ehrich. And she certainly never spoke to me in English, because she only spoke German!"
I would call thisHistorical Fiction.Some of it isFact,but the sequence withLady Jean,Harry Houdini,andSir Arthur Conan Doyle is of my imagination.But,Cecelianever did call her sonHarry,and only spoke brokenEnglish.
This is,Channeling Ehrich Weiss,Pronounced Erik Weiss,Through A Medium Of My Own Choice.Beer!Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“Life is but an empty dream”

Athletes Do Not Go To War
OnFebruary 11th, 2016I wrote aPostabout two completely different subjects,from one another.It was aThursday Night,so I was probably watchingAmerican FootballonTVand heard someAthletespout off how important theGamecoming up was.I still believe what I wrote that day in myPostJPL Has A Poster For You.But,I should have written two different stories,about two different subjects.
*****
"We choose to go to the Moon! ...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win!"
Even though I was five years old when John F. Kennedy said those famous words,they are burned into my memory banks,because as a family,we all sat around our little blackand white
TVand watched his historic speech.I am going to go off track for a moment here,because of the word
Historic.I'm sickand tired of hearingMusicians,Actors,and especiallyAthletestell the
World
that what they are doing is
Historic. Or,
like
Athletes
like to say,where a game they play for money,that they will be going into"Battle,"and it will be a"War"out there between two teams.Movies,Music,andSportsis entertainment events only.NotHistoric,a
Battle, or a
War.The
Men & Women
who serve their
Country,whichever
Country
that may be in this
World,are the true
Heroes
in life.
They go into
Real Battles.
Where people get hurtor are killed!Real major events,
that touch everyone.These events shape our
World,and these events are
Historic!Nothing else.I was going to use this idea in a story about an alternative universe
type of story,but I believe this would be an excellent time to make my point with
this idea.Instead of having our kids tradingBasketball Cards,Football Cards,andBaseball Cards,pretending those folks on these cards are heroes,we should start a trading card business which offerTrue Decorated Heroesof famous battles.True War Heroes.A set of cards depicting all theGreat Scientistsover the yearsand all the winners of theNobel Peace Prize.That is what we should be telling are kids are the true heroes in life.
LikeMartin Luther King Jr.,Nelson Mandela,Mother Teresa,Albert Einstein,Aristotle,Confucius,and I could go on
and on about people who should be honored,and they are not.OK,I really went off track here because that pet peeve of mine has been eating away at my brain for sometime.The story I startedand what I wanted to tell you about is NASA'srelease of
14 Tourism Posters.They are already enticing the public to save their money,so that in the future,we will all be taking vacations out into
Space.You can download all them for freeand not worry about copyright laws.On their JPL website.
This is,Hoping I Live Long Enough To Make It To Mars,Jim Hauenstein,
And,
"Peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold."
- Martin Luther King Jr. -
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
