  1. Will that include ketamine? Asking for a friend of the president.
  2. Currently reading Shirer's Rise and Fall. The SA is exactly what came to my mind when reading Jive Turkey's post quoting Brian Stelter.
  3. He's already indicated to the J6 rioters that what they did was fine.
  4. Seconded. I generally don't like flavored chips. HEB had a dollar off on two packages of chips, so I thought I would try them. Very good.
  5. Similar to ArmyBrat, my grandkids are mostly no longer kids, but they are still one of my greatest delights. The youngest is twelve and won't be for much longer. The other three are in college. Watching them grow up has been wonderful and much less stressful than raising their parents. I still remember the oldest being the star of my retirement party when she was almost one year of age. She will be 24 later this year. Like Brat, no ggrands on the horizon.
  6. Can you imagine what the terrorists are thinking? Meanwhile, we load up our FBI and CIA with unqualified toadies.

    Fire Aid

    Also replay on Amazon Prime. NB 5 hrs 50 min long.
  8. The pr folk for the Bob Dylan Center scored, placing an ad there with Chalamet doing Dylan songs and the interest in A Complete Unknown.
  9. On last night's SNL episode with Timothy Chalamet, they ran a commercial for the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa. Smart aid placement, with Chalamet doing BD numbers and the success of A Complete Unknown.
  10. Point 1: agree Point 2: strongly disagree
  11. "You're an idiot, Babe, It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe."
  12. Cattle cars.
  13. About the only thing I like about cold weather is the food. On Monday, the wife made tortilla soup, which was good for then and Tuesday. On Wednesday I did a pot of chili and the wife made cornbread, which we had that night. Today, we had chili over corn bread with cheese on top and faux frito pie (tortilla chips, as we didn't have Fritos). Had lots of chili left to freeze for the next cold spell. Maybe I'll make it to Spring.
  14. Had my first Monterrey Melt in ages the other day at WB in Bastrop. Hot and juicy. I had forgotten how good they were.
  15. And in the '60s. At least in Dallas.
  16. Sister-in-law, niece, and their husbands evacuated their Altadena home last night. Currently holed up in a hotel near the Rose Bowl. Hopefully they won't have to move on from there.
  17. Agreed, both then and now. I would not have paid to see the David Clayton-Thomas BS&T, maybe the Al Kooper version. Couldn’t miss a chance to see Miles live. BB and Nina were a bonus.
  18. One of my worst was also one of my best. 4th Longhorn Jazz Festival at Memorial Auditorium in July of 1969. Blood Sweat and Tears couldn’t find one of their nine matching microphones and held the audience hostage for an hour waiting for the guilty party to return it. I don’t know if it showed up, but the show finally resumed. Childish behavior from supposed professionals. Great performances from Miles Davis (whom we came to see), Nina Simone, and Hugh Masekela, but the night was soured by BB&T antics.
  19. Doubt I'll make it until it streams, but will watch for it. Any serious Dylan fans need to spend a day in Tulsa at the Bob Dylan Center. As a bonus, the Woody Guthrie Center is next door.
  20. I range all the way from cassette tape recording to burning CDs, but made my biggest killing on Usenet news groups.
  21. I am looking for a photo restoration software for Windows. I realize you get what you pay for, but preferably free or cheap, but not a subscription.
  22. Nope. Pleasant Mound (just north of Pleasant Grove) in Dallas County, before incorporation by Dallas. Circa 1953-54.
  23. Some did. But mine didn't have a compass in the stock.
