That is fantastic. As a former trombone player, I can say those guys are really good. And funny!

Saw this again this morning and thought of y'all. Couldn't get to my phone fast enough to get a pic of the van but this is the logo.

Haha! Morning everyone, you are all hilarious and wonderfully insightful.
I'm off to work, busy day but not too bad.

I couldn't sleep last night because I started getting business ideas in my head to expand a bit, then got carried away, the last I looked it was 2 am and I was getting online insurance quotes and calculating sq footage costs etc.
Luckily I was ably to get SOME sleep! Once my head starts going like that its hard to shut it off.

Have a great day! Xo

Lunar ~

And, that View is why we're choosing Window Coverings very carefully. I/we want those Babies to totally disappear up top to the degree possible. Meanwhile, immediately outside that ~4.0' H x 7.5' W Kitchen Window is where MesaMate saw a hefty Mountain Lion stroll by. It feeds on Deer in one of our Canyons where a Spring pops out in Cattails. SOOOOO, some visibility out the closed Window Coverings is a 'Spec'. Time to Holster up, and cruise the Dry Creekbed leading down to that Canyon to retrieve more Sheds.

Yah, Trees39 made my Day, too. Hilarious! I'm leaving my Avatar Pic Sean-free, I guess...

A Remixed Enigma Song is linked below. A great Vibe, IMO, and some mighty fine Video of my fav Topography. Keys/Computer Wizards - Enigma - quite-legally sampled the recurring Vocal from some sort of World Heritage-type of Archive, as I heard the Story. It's a Song that Taiwanese Farmers sing in their Fields. An Immigrant Daughter heard the Track, and knew it was her Father back in the old Country. After a little Public Pressure, Enigma paid the Farmer/Vocalist a modest Sum as a sort of retroactive Song Royalty/Vocal Sampling Right.

- 'Return To Innocence' ~ Enigma ~ Remix -

In other News, The Museum Of Broken Relationships is set to open a second Branch in El Lay. The first Branch is in Zagreb Croatia.

Bodhi! I was laying in bed last night doing some thinking as well. I think I had too much caffeine too late in the day. Overactive brain spinning around.

Marty, I'm looking forward to the warmth that we're predicted to get next week. A substitute for a vacation? I haven't been on a plane to anywhere warm in a long time.

MLD - I'm in the same boat as far as taking a vacation goes.
I NEED a vacation for sure. That's what scares me the most abut getting a job - I need vacation...
The temp already climbed to thirty. And I want to get a jump on cleaning out the garden... need to get some seeds going inside...

And my left index finger is really hurting today... it's the one I almost cut off years ago. That pain has been with me forever...

IN!

Survive and thrive, we all know there is no pink cloud and life is tough. For 99% of us things don't just drop into our lap. The thing is that to be in with a shout at the thriving part of the opening brief you have to be sober to give yourself a chance

Brain, you'll have 10,000 posts before the weekend is over. Keep it going. Ow about the finger. My left index finger sometimes reminds me of drunken consequences.

Welcome ICanDoBetter and Optimist

Marty, you are always full of surprises - I would not have guessed you could play the trombone. Someone once told me (or I read) that the trombone was one of the hardest instruments to learn because it has no valves, frets, keys etc to guide the player

Trees RIP Martin Crowe

For most of you on the thread - he was a former New Zealand cricket captain and a fine player who died of cancer aged 53

Brain, this year has been active for shootings in Chicago. Double the figures for the same time last year.

Sao - I never intended to play the trombone. I wanted to play something cuter, like the flute, or clarinet, or even french horn. But by the time I was signing up for band going into 7th grade, all those instruments were taken by kids who had gotten there first. The band director handed me a trombone and told me to try to make a sound. I did. It sealed my fate. I played all through junior high, high school, and two years into college. It is a tough instrument. Tone deaf people cannot do it. I loved it a lot, as it turned out, and I was pretty good.

That's cool Marty! A cuter instrument? That's funny.

Vacations? My stupid phone gives me Pinterest updates. This week it's "wine country escapes." Oh, yay!
