The boy who played with fusion Taylor Wilson always dreamed of creating a star. Now he’s become one. Like the article says, “I’m glad he is on our side.” (this is a long serious article)

FRONT FALLS OFF TANKER

LEARN ALL ABOUT IT.

As we progress into 2012, I want to thank all of you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel,I can't let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.
I can't sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one's nose.Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.I can't touch any woman's handbag for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public toilet.I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS for the email about rat poo in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing You get the idea.

The New Compassionate Conservatism -- A Faithful Reader Has An Idea…

The world is bursting at the seams with overpopulation, and the only thing our Republican politicians can come up with is to be utterly opposed to contraception on the grounds of "religious freedom". Santorum says contraceptives are the #1 threat to our society.
The GOP insists that global warming is a hoax, so fuck it! -- let's drill, frack, dig, and pipeline ourselves into extinction ASAP.Read the whole post and learn about Romney,The trip,and The Dog

If you live in Ohio you would know:

The State casserole consists of canned green beans, Campbell 's cream of mushroom soup and dried onions. You can safely take this casserole to any social event and know that you will be accepted. In fact, Neil Armstrong almost took this casserole to the moon in case he encountered alien life there. NASA nixed the plan out of concern that the casserole would overburden the Apollo rocket at lift-off.

Prayer for Our Military

O Prince of Peace, we humbly ask Your protection for all our men
and women in military service. Give them unflinching courage to
defend with honor, dignity and devotion the rights of all who are
imperiled by injustice and evil. Guard our churches, our homes,
our schools, our hospitals, our factories, our buildings, and all
those within from harm and peril. Protect our land and its people
from enemies within and without. Grant an early peace with victory
founded upon justice. Instill in the hearts and minds of me and
women everywhere a firm purpose to live forever in peace and
good will towards all. Amen.

One Tank Trip to the Columbus Washboard Company/Museum Logan,Ohio

A MY QUALITY TIME POST.. AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN FIND CLOSE TO HOME.LANCASTER TO LOGAN,OHIO ABOUT 1/2 AN HOUR DRIVE.

IN THE HEART OF THE HOCKING HILLS

A short drive from Lancaster,Ohio we are greeted by Chief Logan. (Talgayeeta) as we near the Columbus Washboard Company/Museum located in Logan,Ohio.

14 Gallagher Avenue, Logan, Ohio 43138

“The Columbus Washboard Company was started in 1895 when Frederic Martin Sr. started building washboards in his backyard for resale.”

“There were approximately 10 washboard companies who tried to compete for the washboard business. By the early 1970's, all washboard companies, except the Columbus Washboard Company had closed their doors.” Let’s go on inside.

“The traditional washboard is usually constructed with a rectangular wooden frame in which are mounted a series of ridges or corrugations for the clothing to be rubbed upon. For 19th century washboards, the ridges were often of wood; by the 20th century, ridges of metal were more common. A "fluted" metal washboard was patented in the United States in 1833.” How about some music:

Every year, on Father’s Day weekend, the downtown streets of Logan, Ohio come alive with the celebration of the washboard, as a musical instrument.

Leave Mom to her work and we will take a look at the factory. ( Special thanks to James and Samuel )

In 1868 the New York Times called washboards "a great American invention" and ran a story about a man taking "a wooden grooved washboard" home to his sister in Germany as a novelty. Yet "it is believed that ribbed wooden scrubbing boards originated in Scandinavia and the manufacture spread to other countries during the 19th century," MORE

If you don’t want to wash Make Music::”The washboard and frottoir are used as a percussion instrument, employing the ribbed metal surface of the cleaning device as a rhythm instrument. As traditionally used in jazz, zydeco, skiffle, jug band, and old time music, the washboard remained in its wooden frame and is played primarily by tapping, but also scraping the washboard with thimbles. Often the washboard has additional traps, such as a wood block, a cowbell, and even small cymbals. Conversely, the frottoir (zydeco rubboard) dispenses with the frame and consists simply of the metal ribbing hung around the neck. It is played primarily with spoon handles or bottle openers in a combination of strumming, scratching, tapping and rolling.”

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. About 10 minutes from the Columbus Washboard Factory you have what I think is the smallest museum in Ohio and maybe the U.S.A.

The Paul A. Johnson Pencil Sharpener Museum

I wonder would a small museum make for a short post??? You will need to stop back to find out.
