Why is this man smiling?Perhaps because he knows he speaks for many of us these
Dampendic Days or maybe just because he’s John Sieger.

Johnny’s Own, to yours, this Saturday morning, Sept 12,

OK, Lyle is hard to excite after all this time, but Kurt was over the moon!

From Chalet on the Alley to A House of A Guys Own!Johnny Unplugged as it were, a good thing since we ain’t got no spittoon! Seriously, though, he doesn’t chew.
John’s new one with the Semi-Twangs is Kenosha is an instant classic, beginning with the title song confessional, through the self-analytical My Mind is Weak, the new directional Things are Going South and the very Milwaukee-ish (and I grew up a Milwaukee alley troll) Chalet on the Alley—
We can seat up to a dozen comfortably, maybe 13 or 14 in a squeeze, so get there by 9: 57 am on 2/8 for a more-than-likely- seat. Mr Sieger will take requests written on the back of a 20 dollar bill, no confeds please.

Got buds? Pop ’em in for Whad’ya Know Podcast on @iTunes later that same day.
With 2020 hindsight we look back on 20’s of the past to seek reassurance for the one upcoming–
1120- Walcher of Malvern, Prior of Great Malvern Priory in Worcestershire, England, drawing from his knowledge of Arabic astronomy, measures the Earth using the degrees, minutes and seconds of latitude and longitude.
1220–Genghis Khan overruns Islamic Asia laying waste to scores of civilizations and insuring himself a place in the genome of half the population of the earth–
on the other hand, Trial by Ordeal was (supposedly) abolished in England.
1320–Dante‘s Quaestio de Aqua et Terra, a discussion of how a land and water planet like ours fits into Aristotle’s concentric elemental circles is published to mixed reviews, yet shows hints of The Divine Comedy yet to come.
1420–The long-lasting and last Imperial Dynasty of China the Qing (1420-1912) comes to power, puts the finishing touches on The Forbidden City, changing all the new bi-lingual nameplates to emphasize Harmony instead of Supremacy.
1520–Ferdinand Magellan discovers the Strait of Magellan by sailing through the treacherous, barely navigable snake of water between Chile & Tierra del Fuego, to the Pacific Ocean. While Portuguese, the always flexible Magellan claimed the strait and everything to the north for Spain.
1620–Bad year for mothers as Johannes Kepler’s is arrested for witchcraft while French king Louis XIII defeats his mother, Marie de’ Medici, at the Battle of Les Ponts-de-Ce, Poitou.
1720–Johathan Swift begins “Gulliver’s Travels, or Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, by Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships,” a satire of human nature and travelers’ tales.
Swift said he wrote Gulliver’s Travels “to vex the world rather than divert it”.
1820–The Venus de Milo is discovered on April 8, 1820 by a peasant named Yorgos Kentrotas, inside a buried niche within the ancient city ruins of Milos, in what was then the Ottoman Empire.
She was initially to be sold to the French, who like this kind of thing, when the Turks claimed birthright to the statue. The French intervened in Greece to stop the sale to Turkey and shipped her to Paris, where she still resides, leaving the Turkish Sultan the small consolation of executing the Greek ambassador. And the arms? Well, good thing they were lost if the reconstruction by art historian Adolf Furtwangler is anywhere near the truth.
1920–OK, the rise of Hitler and Prohibition, but the National Football League is established at a meeting at the Canton, Ohio, Hupmobile showroom between representatives of the Akron Pros, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Indians, Dayton Triangles, Muncie Flyers, Rochester Jeffersons, Rock Island Independents, Decatur Staleys, Chicago Cardinals, Columbus Panhandles & Detroit Heralds.
The vision is complete when, in 1921, the Indian Packing Company of Green Bay joins the league with Curly Lambeau’s Green Bay Packers.

Donald Trump loves golf. He loves to play it, buy it, build it, and operate it.
He owns 14 courses around the world and runs another five, all of which he insists are the best on the planet.
He also claims he’s a 3 handicap, never loses, and has won an astonishing 18 club championships.*
How much of that is true?
