Take Your Whiskey Home
Well, my baby, she don't want me around
She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down
She wants the good life (ow), only the best
But I like that bottle better than the rest
And she said I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
If you take your whiskey (whoa)
Well, that liquor in the nighttime leaves strange memories
Seems a lifetime since yesterday
Come the daybreak, come the tomorrow,
That woman's waited up all night for me again
She said well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
Yeah, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
Yeah, you know that you're headed for a lot of trouble
If you take your whiskey home
Some goes to women, some goes to Jesus,
Though I'm absolutely certain both's all right
But it takes me at least halfway to the label
'Fore I can even make it through the night
Well, I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
Yeah, yeah I think that you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
Baby yeah, I think that you're headed for some trouble
If you take your whiskey home
oh, baby, take your whiskey home, yeah
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, yeah

It’s time for the Fabulously Free In Second Life “Back To Cool Hunt“! All prizes are 0l-5L and you can find the hunt keys "HERE!"
Ow! Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I’m hot for teacher
I’ve got it bad, so bad
I’m hot for teacher
(Hey, I heard you missed us, we’re back!
I brought my pencil
Give me something to write on, man
Whoa)
~ Van Halen
Grounds of Osaka Castle, Japan
Two days ago I was in a store where they played Van Halen's "Jump" twice in a row. It's one of the most annoying songs ever written, and it's been in my head ever since.
Hope the Aztec Gods don't see this picture.
During a trip to Mexico, the Yahoo gang went over to the Pyramid Of The Sun, the third largest pyramid in the world. The slope of the stairs along the giant monument is exactly 45 degrees - Total height = 233.5 feet while total steps = 235. Now that's called engineering!
Funny thing is, while returning back, the radio started playing 'Jump' from Van Halen. And then a week later, I saw Kanye West perform 'Touch The Sky'
Some only see what they wanna see
Claiming victory, oh, but that's not me
Gimme truth, gimme somethin' real
I just wanna feel like it's mine, all mine...

and she's paid off too...
Ok. I get the point. I've been Tagged (AGAIN. REPEATEDLY.) So here are TWENTY FIVE MORE RANDOM THINGS about Me.
1. I tend to Randomly capitalize.
2. My favorite number in the alphabet is Blue.
3. is the magic number.
4. I miss my Dad.
5. I prefer cold weather to hot, but I love thunderstorms, so I put up with the heat and humidity required to produce appropriate thunder and lightning every once in awhile. One of the things I miss most about South Florida are the hurricanes.
6. I type 60+ wpm. I am the ONLY one who showed up enough to Ms. Hall's typing class senior year to: a) Remember her name and b) learn how to type.
7. I hate raw tomatoes.
8. I could listen to Keifer Sutherland's voice for hours. He could read the phone book. I don't care.
9. Writing this made me think of Van Halen's video for "Right Now" so I stopped writing these things down and watched the video on the internet and wrote down ALL of the "Right Nows."
A few favorites:
Right Now...
-there's a bomb factory hard at work
-oil companies and old men are in control
-a convenience store is open
-oysters are being robbed of their sole posession
-our government is doing things we think only other countries do
-you aren't doing what you most wish you were
-your memory is getting longer while your life is getting shorter
Where was I? Oh yes...
10. I can do the Time Warp. (Again.)
11. I have Zero Patience with stupid people. I am working on that.
12. I am very empathetic despite my tough exterior. If I care about you, it is very easy for you to hurt me. But I'll also go to the ends of the earth for you.
13. I did not appreciate the beauty and freedom of my youth, although I listened to Baz Luhrmann's Sunscreen Song incessantly, and to be fair, it warned me of that.
14. I listened to Nine Inch Nails album Pretty Hate Machine so damn much that, to this day, my mother knows the song "Head Like a Hole"
15. I'm skipping Number Fifteen. Because I can. And now you'll wonder.
16. I once broke someone's heart, and, although it was absolutely the right thing to do, I feel badly for deeply hurting someone I once cared about. I worry to this day if he has ever been okay.
17. I love crosswords. Possibly because I love words.
18. I'd love to be a Culinary Anthropologist. I just don't know where that would be both applicable and profitable. I'd also like to tie the photography in with that, if possible.
19. Did I leave the oven on?
20. I prefer dogs to cats. Generally large dogs. Although I have always been fascinated by large, predator cats, particularly pumas, panthers, mountain lions... et cetera. I blame the short-lived but much-loved-by-me series "Manimal" for this obsession.
21. I tend to think and write in Stream of Consciousness.
22. I am a maple syrup snob and will only eat genuine Grade B Maple syrup. From a tree, not a female-shaped plastic bottle.
23. Also Balsamic Vinegar: Roland Four Diamond brand... it's amazing and once I had it, I have never been able to eat the thin, un-aged stuff again.
24. I love high thread-count, 100% cotton sheets. I have probably 10 sets. I do not believe it is necessary to have this many sheet sets for one bed. Nevertheless...
25. I want to travel the country for months in an RV. I want to see and photograph every wonder of our country and eat at odd, roadside diners and dives and historic places, and pick berries and see deserts and oceans and lakes and endless skies and sunsets and landmarks and buildings and sagauro cacti and large trees and moose and bears and rusted out airplanes and wrecked cars and urban superhighways and islands both deserted and supersaturated with 8 million people.
I'd also like to travel Europe by train.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again...

Trails Charcoal Broiler, in business for over 70 years has been shuttered…
The place first opened in the early 1950s when Hollywood actress (and ace swimmer) Esther Williams launched the business with her then-husband, Ben Gage, another television actor…A divorce and ensuing bankruptcy forced the sale of the restaurant in 1954 to the owners of a local car dealership…The business thrived with lines waiting for a table…It was sold to Gin Wong in 1979 and he ran it since but started to complain about not being a spring chicken anymore so he put the building up for sale and bailed out in 2015…Lucky enough, the neon sign has remained…Knock on wood…
I remember eating here with a bunch of knuckleheads from work many years ago and thought it was pretty good…
Happy Trails to you Gin Wong…
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. Jump !
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Aaa-ohh Hey you ! How said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't know
until we begin.
Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Get it and jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.

Van Halen was infamous among promoters during the 1980s for strange demands in their show contract. From Herring in sour cream to a large tube of KY jelly, the expectations became increasingly bizarre. M&Ms were requested, but brown M&Ms were banned from the backstage area. If brown M&Ms were found, the boys in the band surmised the more important aspects of the show, from lighting to safety harnesses to security could be less than optimal as well.

Mercredi 7 Octobre 2020 – Il devait avoir lui aussi une mission, et il l’a plutôt très bien remplit. Merci Monsieur Eddie.
I don't know why but i was searching thorough my pics seen this one and wham, Ice-cream Man by Van Halen popped into my head, must be the musician in me . Cheers and Happy Hump Day . If at all possible view on large screen you'll see why
According to this document I saw Van Halen back in 1986. It was the 5150 tour with Sammy Hagar. Bachman Turner Overdrive was the excellent supporting act! What a great gig!
Rewind to the Summer of 1990, myself and about 5 other guys rowed this little boat out to an island about 50 feet by 100 foot long called Willow Lake. We were young and dumb and brought all the beer we could steal from our parents fridge and other necessities boys would require for an overnight stay. This included the loudest "boombox" we could find and like 12 of those damn D sized batteries to get us through the night. My friend John brought his vintage Van Halen cassette collection , yes I said cassette (Ya I am old). Of course at the time I was familiar with the album 1984 which was very 80's-ish with lots of synthesizers and a dance sound vibe popular at the time. Never before that night had I heard "Old Halen" as we so defined thier prior sound that night.
Hearing Eddie's iconic intros like "Spanish Fly", "Eruption", "Little Guitars" and "Diver Down" blaring out of those speakers put me in awe. So engrossed in the music, I barely heard everyone screaming at me to tuck and roll as someone had thrown a can of aerosol bug spray which exploded into shrapnel burning holes into my pillow case I would have to answer to in the morning.
While I wish I could say my Halen troubles ended there, the next day I may have intercepted one of my Dad's music Club membership forms in the mail. After ordering every previous Van Halen album available and patiently waiting 1-2 weeks, I learned a new meaning to being "grounded" but I got to spend a whole week confined to my bedroom air guitaring like no other and perfecting Eddie's guitar moves in the mirror.
It's sad when we lose things that remind us of our youth, the moments and friends that define our childhoods and the times of innocence (well kind of innocent). While I am certainly saddened by losing someone who's music shaped my teen years and even after, but also the grasping at the reminder how truly fast time goes by. Thank you Eddie for providing me a great soundtrack for so many great moments in my life. Heaven just got a LOT louder today. R.I.P. October 6, 2020.
This is a picture of MOLEN DE ADRIAAN, in Haarlem. Built in 1779 and named for it's first owner.
So why the title? Rock music was becoming a little stale by the end of the 1970's. In the early 1980's the band Van Halen changed the scene with their high energy, electrifying sound. The band was called Mammoth but had to change it due to another band having that name. So the surname of brothers Alex, drummer and Eddie, guitarist, replaced it. Eddie was, in my opinion, the Hendrix of this generation.
Long before information was so easily accessible by clicking the keyboard, our information was gained by reading books and journalism. Cross referencing was possible, but time consuming. I once read that van Halen means from Haarlem and that Eddie was born there! Maybe there is a blue plaque on a wall in the town marking the spot! This information has been lodged in my brain for a long time. On preparation for visiting Haarlem, I did some research. It turns out this information is not fact! The brothers moved to America because their Indonesian mother was subject to racism. The boys were born in The Netherlands-probably Amsterdam, maybe Njmagen, but definitely not Haarlem. There is a town in Linburg named Halen and thus the surname was probably related to their ancestors being from there.
Both brothers were classically trained pianists from the age of five, originally Alex took up the guitar and Eddie the drums, but they swapped when it was clear that Alex was the better drummer! Their father was a jazz musician. And a lesson for us all, it is said that Eddie practiced the guitar for up to ten hours a day, in the belief his skill would make him popular with the girls. Alex is said to have practiced little, because he was always out-with the girls!!!!
I few weeks ago I finished a lifetime dream of learning a song that meant a lot to me, and it turned into an emotional experience for me. Today, I took advantage of forced down-time and knocked out another bucket-list song that inspired and moved me: Van Halen's Panama from their 1984 album.
I still remember watching this video on MTV every hour- I remember air guitaring with a tennis racket, pretending I could nail every stroke on the guitar... and after today I don't have to pretend any longer!
I have been chipping away at this one for a while, and unlike the last bucket-list song that was very emotional for me, this one was a lot of fun from beginning to end. The last thing I had to learn was the solo, and I just played it on loop until I could get it down flawlessly... it was a great time.
