“We have not passed an emergency supplemental, a Farm Bill, or regular Appropriations. The story is not what they are doing. The story is what they are not doing.”

Rs seek to destroy the country as much by inaction as action.

Chemo cream on the head day 2, and a long one teaching....it only feels like I can shoot lasers out of my eyes, right?
Right?

Um, what's the cat chasing.....?

Some guy on the dead bird is claiming tritone subs are a leading cause of guitar stank face, but I'm thinking they generally lead to more of a slight smirk...

How do we foster thought, and importantly, dialogue?

@NaomiSkarzinski , yes - the phone acts as modem and router. It's very handy, though data hungry. The store where I teach had no wifi when online lessons started during lockdown, and what they have now is pretty spotty. Had to go to the unlimited plan, but it wasn't too bad.

@NaomiSkarzinski pretty good, and I do use my hotspot regularly for work. Pricing as good as or better than any (why we switched, though navigating to the best deal can be tricky) and they're nice once you get someone on the other end of a call or chat. They don't treat you as unqualified for a phone if you're not a tech wizard.

@Bliss Sort of weaving two stories together around December 8, 1980, which is the "when I first heard...night that it happened" The "what happened to those people" can refer either to John and Yoko, or the narrator (ok, me) and his now lost love, and many of the other images can be applied to both stories, which is the idea - small tragedies and large tragedies that intertwine in life and memory. Details and which is which left to the listener.

@MookyTroubadour more to the point, this is who keeps "putting the fix in" (his own words) on elections.
And another R who never seems to go to trial as the indictments just go on and on....

Last biopsy came back negative, so the year of the dermatologist ends with a chemo cream/peel on the old bald scalp as soon as the last couple of liquid nitrogen burns heal. 2023 - four surgeries, a lot of freeze and scrapes, almost done.

A lot of what the various liked about FZ, all in one quick cut (incl. one of my favorite solos) - spin one up today in memory of someone who was always stubbornly himself:

Sorry, Epiphone, but who the actual thinks an Olive Drab Firebird is attractive?
Doesn't anybody at Gibson have filters?

Happy December 1 - It's Bandcamp Friday! Meaning your favorite musicians can get just a little more from your CD or download purchase - 1 CD nets more than 1500 streams! All the CDs in my shop are same price as download + under-cost s&h (and you get the download as well) - gotta make room for the next!
Support your favorite indie and pick up a stocking stuffer or 2!

there's way too much emphasis on test scores & way too little on developing a well-rounded person who has any idea what their interests might actually be, now.
