I Just Watched “The twenties in Color America in Color The 1920s Smithsonian Channel” on YouTube
I can’t get enough of learning about past decades.. Especially one as recent as just one hundred years ago. It was interesting to see digitally enhanced color video shoots of private parties during prohibition, busy streets in New York City and people just living their every day lives…. all caught on film. I wonder if […]
Watch “Who Were The Real People Onboard The Titanic? | Waking Titanic | Timeline” on YouTube
This Titanic documentary focuses on the Addergule 14, a group of poverty stricken girls from Ireland. They were headed to America at the urging of a woman who found success in Chicago 20 years earlier. When they arrived on the ship, it was the first time they had ever seen electricity or running water. They […]
I Just Watched “The Titanic’s Final Meal” on YouTube
I had no idea there were so many courses in the First Class cabin on the Titantic.. The Titantic sunk over 100 years ago now…. I never get tired of learning about it… I am fascinated with 1700’s to 1900’s history.
I Watched “What Living In London Was Like During The Blitz | Cities At War: London | Timeline” on YouTube
I’ve watched a lot of documentaries about the blitz.. But I believe this one is the best. It explains in more detail how people lived their lives during the bombings.. For the most part they still went to work but prepared themselves for tonight we attacks. They had a positive attitude about life, even though […]
I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time – 1920-1929: Boom To Bust” on YouTube
Peter Jennings hosted this in 1999. He would be dead six years later at the age of 67. It starts off by discussing prohibition and the spread of electricity. People started using electricity in the cities first, then to the point where most households had electricity in their homes by the end of the decade. […]
I Just Read “The Washington Post: The eviction moratorium is about to end. Rent relief hasn’t arrived. These renters decided to take action.”
I hate seeing people suffer, especially needlessly. The money is available, why in the hell aren’t they getting it? At least some landlords are understanding and know that they will eventually get their money. There is not much worse than not knowing where you’re going to lay your head at night. My heart absolutely breaks […]
I Just Read “10-year-old boy killed when shooter opens fire on New York City home”
what is wrong with people!!! Why are we killing each other!?!? A little boy lost his life over a parking space dispute! I just have no words. I will never never never understand. One of the little boy’s relatives saw him lying face down in a puddle of blood… They rolled him over to hear […]

I Just Watched “THE Moment People First Heard An Automated Voice” on YouTube
There is an entire generation of people who have never experienced life without an automated attendant. I learned in this video that AT&T started experimenting with voice automation in 1991. Several operators are interviewed because they were afraid for their jobs. If you don’t follow David Hoffman on YouTube, I urge you to do so… […]
I’m Watching “Out of the Closet, Off the Screen:The Life of William Haines(2001 documentary)” on YouTube
Billy Haines was given an ultimatum by his studio that he give up his partner or lose his job. He replied “I will give him up when you give up your wife” That started the end of his career. Noone has ever loved me like that…. most likely Noone ever will… I’m perfectly OK with […]
