I started writing a song, recording my own version of and remixing Iron Man to learn that process. Also started writing lyrics, about the massive hits of cannabis my gimmick can take and the fields of pot smoked.
Also gonna make a song with the instrumental part being based on Cypress Hill's I Ain't Goin Out Like That, with the soul intention of learning how to make that thundering bass that can rumble your innards when played through a good system.
I need to get some recording equipment though. And new bass strings. And still I have things I need for my car.
And I need to get feeling better. I only got lyrics wrote today because my sinuses are so congested it's hard to stay focused.

Look: Mystery safe dumped at side of Texas road - UPI.com

Police in Texas are attempting to solve the mystery of a large safe that was dumped at the side of the road on a cul-de-sac.

They don't know what's inside it yet. People leave all kinds of old junk along the side of the road, which is against the law in most cases. Hard to believe anyone would throw away something valuable, so my guess is there's nothing inside there.

Still, you never know.

Funeral home in Poland apologizes after a corpse falls out of a hearse in traffic

A funeral home in Poland is apologizing after a corpse that it was transporting fell out of a hearse and into traffic.

apnews.com

This was weird. I worked in the funeral business decades ago, and just as with any job or industry, sometimes mistakes do happen. It was an accident, but the thing that caught my eye was the name of the funeral service:

The company transporting the corpse, Hades Funeral Services, issued a statement Saturday taking responsibility for the incident and blaming a technical failure of the hearse.

Hades Funeral Service? Seriously?

Greek man convicted of causing disturbance by entering neighbors' properties to smell their shoes

A judge in northern Greece has imposed a suspended one-month prison sentence on a man convicted of disturbing his neighbors by repeatedly sneaking into their properties to smell their shoes.

apnews.com

The 28-year-old Greek man told the Thessaloniki court that he was unable to explain his behavior, which, he said, had caused him great embarrassment.

He stressed that he had no intention of breaking the law or harming anybody, and neighbors testified that he never displayed any sign of aggression during his nocturnal visits.

The court heard that there had been at least three similar incidents in the past six months, despite neighbors having asked the defendant’s family to get him to stop.

The man was ordered to attend therapy sessions.

I wonder what "Highway to Hell" would sound like on an organ, played as a funeral dirge.

I wasn't aware of this store. However, the Nazis, besides being violent, warlike, genocidal maniacs, were also known as pretty snazzy dressers in their Hugo Boss uniforms.

What you need is 20 years in Quebec speaking only French and having no Chinese food.

They asked the family to get him to stop... Like they have any control...

I had a cop ask me to rein Sam in once. We called the cops on the squatters next door. Sam was behaving like a damsel in distress, carrying on, following the officers around to talk about how scared he was, etc.

I asked the officer "do I look like a miracle worker to you? I have enough other problems to contend with right now(Ares was manic; it was before the bipolar meds." He looked kind of shocked.

I went to school in Potsdam, NY -nickname Madstop. Ever since then "stop ahead" has been "pots daeha" to me but I've found that does not work in all cases: sesac lla ni krow ton seod taht and so forth.

Cut up body.

I'm reminded of that TV report that Geraldo Rivera did about opening Al Capone's safe. A great deal of hype and advertising led up to it, which had everyone wondering just what could be in it. Turned out to be nothing. I think there was an empty bottle or something.

It's all the byproducts of a wicked nasty crabs infestation.

Why not?

Most funeral companies seem to choose other kinds of names. Given people's superstitions about death, anything that might suggest their departed loved one is going to Hades might be unsettling for some people.

I think I'll skip my niece's party.

I'm not sick like I was, but I don't want to push it.
