  1. Saw it at The Winspear Opera House. Outstanding show. Better viewed from the lower balcony where you could see the choreography.
  2. I keep the inserts in a separate box. Most of my Jazz is LPs and I don’t have a ton of electronica CDs so I combined them. There are 80 CDs in that box. I have a spreadsheet that notes box and position.
  3. This is a David Byrne show tune.
  4. These work for me. CDs are also ripped to a hard drive. I have a dedicated listening room, no TV just audio equipment and seating. For serious listening it’s always CD or LP.
  5. Wow. Nevada County is over 93% Honkies.
  6. Serves em right for floating.
  7. Cha Cha Real Smooth. Sucks.
  8. The world according to Corby: NOBODY watches college softball NOBODY watches college baseball NOBODY watches ANY women’s sports( except maybe tennis sometimes) NOBODY watches college basketball (except for the tournament) EVERYBODY loves Barry Switzer.
  9. I think one thing different during the 60s/70s was there was a feeling of hope. That we were making progress. Now we seem to be regressing which exacerbates the feeling of hopelessness.
  10. Shit that was going down late 60s to mid-ish 70s was unreal. Bombings in public places were so common for a while they weren’t even headline news. FALN SLA BLA Weathermen. A lot of these organizations were comprised of mid to upper class young folks. “Eco Terrorism” was getting ramped up. Greenpeace an Earth First were getting into confrontation and sabotage. Environmental Life Force was using explosives and arson to get their message across. It was the golden age of airplane hijacking. So much so that it was just cost of doing business to the airlines. They even included charts of the Caribbean for pilots to make it faster/easier in case the got hijacked.

    Whole scene with Paul Reiser was great.

  13. Isn’t that exactly what the Rs are doing with gun control? Any gun control legislation means they will next take all your guns.

    That’s a good one. I think The Covenant may be my favorite Michener.
  15. Fine with me if they promote Jub Jam. And since 2011, P1s have helped us raise over $750,000 to help the Senior Source and their efforts to serve our community. In 2021, we raised over $135,000 and are looking forward to raising even more in 2022 on August 18th.
  16. Cool. You can go to the Festival Confederada if you get homesick.
  17. That may be my favorite small town in Colorado. Good friend from Texas moved up there about 20 years ago and started maybe the first private trail building company in America and is still going strong.
  18. Ensanada looks nice.
  19. No worry. Mexico, I mean The Pentagon will pay for Operation Lone Star. WASHINGTON — Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Sherman, wants the Pentagon to help pick up the tab for Gov. Greg Abbott’s immigration-and-drugs dragnet at the southern border. Fallon said Friday he was introducing a bill that would require the Defense Department to reimburse the state of Texas for more than $1.4 billion in costs stemming from what has been dubbed Operation Lone Star.

  21. Dug this Yosegaki Hinomaru out of my Mom’s closet before the moths decimated it. Luckily most of the writing is still legible. Taken from a soldier in the battle of Balete Pass in Northern Luzon. This will be on its way back to Japan via the OBON Society. https://obonsociety.org/eng/page/yosegaki-hinomaru

    Have to check those out. I get into historical fiction binges but then have to take a break. Read these from Jay Penner followed by his Cleopatra trilogy. He seems to know his stuff and has a succinct writing style that always keeps the story moving along. (Penner is Dallas based)
  23. True, but I prefer On Any Sunday. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
