I'm seeing something really scary on You tube lately

I watch "reactions" to music, mostly young folks hearing classic rock or blues, suggested by viewers. Recently these people are reacting to suggested videos praising the right wing and Trump. One says the Dems were pro slavery, etc. Never mentioning the parties have literally changed places, or how the Repub party of today is not the party of just a few years ago. These go out to lots of people who don't follow politics or current events but believe something because there's a video! With lots of positive feedback from viewers. It's scaring the crap out of me.

Looking for a good wall clock

My old one fell and I don't feel like fixing it again. I want a nice well made Mission style wall clock. Can't find many online. Anyone know a good company to check out? Who makes good clocks these days? Will pay $400 or so.
Thanks for suggestions!

Question about Youtube subscriptions

I just had to unsubscribe to about 25 channels I never subscribed to! Question: how did they get into my subscribed list to begin with?
Don't tell me " you must have done it and forgotten." Most of them I NEVER would have subscribed to. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

That settles it...I've got to go to Italy again.

Saw Book Club 2 last night. Not as funny as the first one, but some wonderful Italy scenes.

Some juncos laid eggs in a pot on my porch

I was so excited. Then the eggs were gone. I suspect other birds got them, because I saw some in the area. This happened last year in a hanging pot on the patio. But they have now laid more eggs!
I want to protect them, but how? I know I probably shouldn't try to interfere but I feel so bad for the parents. Should I just butt out and let nature take it's course?

RW media reporting higher mortgage rates for good credit buyers

Anybody see this? Newsnation and Fox are reporting people with high credit rating will pay higher rates to offset those with lower ratings. Doesn't make sense, if true, in year before an election.

Loving Longmire!

I'm rewatching this series. It's a good one.
My only issue with it is it's filmed in such dark lighting. Hard to see who is fighting who. Anyway, give it a look.

You know that baseball bat post Trump did?

I wonder who's doing that for him. You know damn well he can't put together something like that himself.

Question about setting up Sirius in home

I'm "technically challenged" and am trying to set up sirius radio in my home. My account allows for my car (love it!) and streaming. Got a sirius in home kit and a speakers docking box. Called sirius to set up inhome account. I set the receiver in the dock, fired it up, got the channels to show up. Had to adjust antenna in south window. Got 100% reception for satelite.
All this, and no sound!
First of all, why south facing window? Am I looking for more sunlight, or to connect to a satelite? Second, why no sound if I have full satelite connection? I don't have a teenager around to help me. Any suggestions? Thanks.

George Harrison would be 80 today!

My god, time flies.
