who could ask for anything more?.....oh, but then the world went to hell.

Subtitle of......a planetary alignment of "What the hell just happened?" moments.

This week we explore our glorious weekends. Simon's was spent in Carmel California and Greg's was spent, as you can imagine, in a number of venues, but mainly his favorite Cohiba Cigar Lounge, in Santana Row, San Jose, California, where he attended an event for a specific cigar.

The spectacular avocado burger at Monterey airport.

Simon's weekend was spent hiking along the spectacular California Coastline and eating great food.

The Northern California Coastline. Amazing.

The gorgeous woodland scene near Pfeiffer Beach.

We reference Eddie Izzard's sketch on Noah. Here it is so you actually have a clue.

We do discuss the recent weekend, which was Remembrance Sunday in many nations of the world, marking homage to the fallen soldiers of our respective nations.

Then, in an ironic twist, we discuss a few news items that indicates that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. here are some of the indications....

In a Virginia school, kids can no longer fail, as the F grade has been removed from results. How exactly are kids meant to now learn what life is about? In a related story, it seems that we Californians are idiots, as we are now paying for school costs for illegal immigrants. Nice. Thanks California Supreme Court and the politicians who made this into law. Glad you're thinking ahead there.

Then we kind of thank the guy who stood up to the TSA goons who insist on giving him a 'full pat down' because he refused one of the new airport full body scans, as an invasion of privacy. Naturally, he was threatened with all kinds of negative results if he refused to be 'fully patted down' but he insisted that they don't touch his "junk". Good for you buddy.

You know....we can't make this shit up. It is really going on.

Finally, and with a humorous twist, scientists are promoting an idea of the first manned space mission to Mars is going to be a one way ticket. We suggest that we send all the politicians on that flight.

Unbelievable.

There were a few quotes from the "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in this week's episode. If you didn't understand them....buy the book.

And with that, these 2 curmudgeonly old farts will bid you a good evening.

BMSMA.

"Good evening!"
