That's the way she looked when she and her band performed at a local county fair, many years ago, I should add.  We've had a lot of big names at the fair and it used to be you could wander about the grounds and watch the performers, or you could be part of a big crowd that gathered in front of the stage.  Your choice.  But then a rich, car dealership owner built an amphitheater and walled it in, and made you pay extra (after having already paid to gain entrance to the fair) to be able to see the performances.  I remember Cheap Trick was the first band to play in the closed off setting. 

Anyway, Pat Benatar and her band played at the fair when you didn't have to pay extra to watch.  I wasn't all that big of a fan or anything, but I did like some of her songs and it was fun to see her belting them out as I walked about the fairgrounds.  She started to sing Heartbreaker, just as I was walking next to the concert area, so I stopped to listen to the song.  I still wasn't a part of the concert crowd, just a little bit off to the side, on a sidewalk.  There was nobody around me.   

She started to sing...

"You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me."

When she sang the words heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker, she would point to various dudes in the audience.  Then she started to repeat the verse and swung her arm away from the crowd and pointed right at me and sang, "You're a heartbreaker."  Yes, Pat Benatar pointed at your Rikki Gins and called him a heartbreaker! 

I've had a lot of fun memories of that fair, and that one with Pat was definitely one of them.

Cargo Ship strikes Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge causing great collapse

Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key_Bridge_collapse

The ship involved, Dali, is a Singapore-registered cargo vessel. The 229-metre-long (751 ft) ship left Baltimore at 01:00 EDT for Colombo, Sri Lanka.[8] It struck a column of the bridge at 01:27 EDT. The bridge strike and collapse was recorded on video.[9] The bridge broke apart in several places following the collision.[10] A Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) spokesperson said vehicles were on the bridge at the time it collapsed, including one that was the "size of a tractor-trailer". The Dali caught fire and appeared to sink,[6] with a section of the bridge landing on its front part.[7]

Hey @WhiteCrow glad to see you are still with us!

I was too ill back in 2017 to meet up with you in Illinois for the eclipse. Didn’t feel safe driving all that way by myself.

This year I don’t have to drive at all. Been waiting for this eclipse since at least April 2019. I have some good friends and relatives traveling here to feast on good Texas barbecue, homemade tamales, and a crawfish and shrimp boil.

Can’t control the weather but I can make sure everyone is well fed.

Safe travels.

Sure hope it is crystal clear that day!
