HA! One of the first things I learned the hard way back when I was an essential oils chemist. Wash your hands before having a pee.

But we all know womens who have that kind of eyes
and we all know suckers who have ignored the warning signs and the damage control to come out of it alive.

American Old-West saloon keeper & justice of the peace Judge Phantly Roy Bean, Jr., self-proclaimed “Law West of the Pecos,” met his earthly demise at the age of 78 when he died peacefully in his bed at his home in Langtry, Texas. His death is said to have been caused by the combined effects of lung & heart ailments & a heavy drinking spree in San Antonio.


Battle Mountain Stage and Post Office - Red Cliff, Colorado ca. 1880.



233 years ago, Monday, March 16, 1789, famous German physicist & mathematician Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854), namesake of the unit of electrical resistance, the “ohm” (symbol: Ω), was born at the city of Erlangen in Bavaria, Germany.

As a school teacher, Ohm began his research with the new electro-chemical cell that had been invented by famous Italian scientist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827). Using equipment of his own invention, Ohm found that there is a direct proportionality between the potential difference (voltage) applied across a conductor & the resultant electric current. This relationship became known as known as Ohm’s Law.

The left-hand photograph depicts a “Cyberman,” one of the characters from the popular long-running British science-fiction television series “Doctor Who.” The Cybermen were noted for their proclivity to continually repeat their infamous catchphrase “Resistance is Useless!”
Note: The original Doctor Who catchphrase, “Resistance is Useless,” was also used later on in the British science-fiction television series “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” Eventually, this phrase was co-opted by the American science-fiction television series “Star Trek” in a modified form stated as “Resistance is Futile,” that has also become a pop-culture catchphrase, & which is occasionally encountered in a mispronounced form as the nonsensical mondegreen “Resistance is Feudal.”
The undated right-hand photograph depicts the visage of Georg Simon Ohm, namesake of the ohm -- the scientific unit of electrical resistance.


To date, the Kennewick Man remains among the oldest known skeletons found on North American soil and is considered to have been among the most contested set of human remains on the continent.

True Grit author Charles Portis based his characters on some real-life folks in Fort Smith, Arkansas, including one-eyed Deputy Marshal Cal Whitson, pictured here with his wife in an undated photo.

Congratulations to your grandmother. The first photo from the old days where someone is smiling.

Looks like there's a lot of miles on that fine piece of real estate, judging by the inner thighs.........possibly an extra "0" ....after the displayed odometer reading
