RIP Steve Cropper

His answer was Ambassador Bridge. The correct was st Lawrence seaway. I dont remember the question. I grew up in Detroit and the bridge never occurred to me. I thought it was an easy one but then I vaguely remember when the seaway opened.

I'm gonna let the guy with the lift, the air wrench and the digital torque wrench do it. And I finally found a shop that can do it without cross threading the studs.

My guitar hero.

But hey, you won't need parking reservations. This weekend only....

There seems to be more of that than there ever was. I'm in stop and go traffic. I'm a safe but not cautious distance following, which upset the guy tailgating me. He found a gap on the right and sped around me into the gap in front of, giving me the finger in the process and slammed the brakes. He...

There was an interview and some of the video on pbs news hour this weekend

I've said this before but when you do your advanced directive, when you say no cpr, don't forget to include no dialysis and especially o feeding tube unless of course you want them.?

I'm on the 7th and likely last season my x ices.

If I'm on trial I don't want a jury of people wanted to do jury duty.

[old goat]

Like the right to complain about jury duty?

We were having problems with outlets in the laundry room. The electrician found that power to the outlets came from the adjacent kitchen . . . . . and from another circuit up from the crawl space. Also bare wire that was a fraction of a millimeter from touching the metal box. What I can't figure...

I don't recall seeing an RIP for Todd Snider here. He was a good one, with some tough problems.

[old goat]

You go, I'm hiding indoors....

I wouldn't call him a racist southern cracker. He grew up poor and was a Democratic Texas populist--a rare species nowadays but not back then, an acolyte of FDR who, along with Sam Rayburn, another Texas Dem, helped get civil rights legislation passed as Senate majority leader. Johnson was one of...

Busting a reggae band for weed--talk about shooting fish in a barrel.
Anyway, Jimmy may have left the earth but he's probably back already in some form or other--hopefully a form that does music....

[old goat]

That's what I meant. But people had ample grounds to be less naive but they still believed the propaganda. Now we know it's all propaganda whatever side you're on.
And of course Kennedy was to blame for Vietnam--afraid to look weak against the commies. He wasn't ready to be Prez, like Obama....

[old goat]

I just noticed the date. The most fraught historical date in my lifetime, beats 9/11 by a mile from an emotional standpoint. School closed and we all sat home and watched TV all day--nothing was on TV except the assassination, Oswald, Ruby, the funeral, JFK jrs salute. For those of us of a certain...

They're trying to get closer to god?

Watching the Ken Burns thing about the Revolution--Washington mandated smallpox vaccine for the Continental Army. Hard to believe that an 18thC plantation owner knew more about science than the Sec of HHS, the head of the FDA and the head of the CDC but it appears so.

Crypto will go up as long as people think it will go up. It will go down as long as people think it will go down. It is not subject to supply and demand, economic events, or other external forces but only what people think. If you think you can predict what people will think a day, a year, a decade...
