I saw a report the other day that said (we) boomers own 70% of the wealth in America.

66
I remember when the Interstate System was new, white concrete stretching for thousands and thousands of miles. '55, '56, '57 Chevys and '64, '65, '66 Mustangs were daily drivers.
Rock and Roll was new, the dollar was backed by gold, the Beatles were together and classic Fender tube amps were the industry standard.
I feel blessed to have been a part of the greatest time in history.

Well played, old boy.

Since almost everything I watch is done on delay, I almost never have to see a commercial.
I do that too.
I'll pause stuff to the max so I can zip past 'em!

Not sure why but since we started streaming our TV the commercials are super loud. I bought a new TV at the same time, and the new TV has better sound and maybe that makes a difference.
I use s Bose Soundbar for movies, but not for news and documentaries, and it doesn't matter, the ads are louder I don't give a damn what they say.
I simply "mute" the ads.
I have no idea why advertisers would prefer to be muted, but obviously that's the path they've chosen.

A woman is sitting at her recently deceased husband’s celebration of life. A man leans in to her and asks, “Do you mind if I say a word?”. “No, go right ahead”, the woman replies.
The man stands, clears his throat, says “Plethora”, and sits back down.
“Thanks”, the woman says, “that means a lot”.-

EVH had a thick metal pick for certain uses. He would also chew on it.
I ended up at around 1.0, but I'm all acoustic these days. Had I continued gigging electrics, I doubt I would have landed at 1.0. Maybe.
I have noticed the picks with the best tone are not the fastest, and the fastest ones don't create the best tone.
Obviously, tone is subjective to resistance. And density. That's why Bluechip picks sound so good on acoustics and mandolins. Density and resistance.
But the Wegens handle better and they aren't dense for crap. But they handle like a sportscar.
Dear Santa,
I want a silver pick that handles like a Wegen and sounds better than a Bluechip for Christmas.

Dig it Dave. The trick is putting yourself in that place and you pulled it off masterfully. Well played.
Like 31.

In court, the trucking company's fancy hot shot lawyer, was questioning Clyde. "Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine,'?" asked the lawyer.
Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite cow, Bessie, into the..."
"I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer the question, ...please. Did you, or did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?"
Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer behind the tractor and I was driving down the road...."
The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Your Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite cow, Bessie".
Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded. "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my John Deer Tractor right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting, real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.
Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning, so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, "How are you feeling?"
"Now tell me, what the heck would you say?"-

Buc always did keep himself in fighting form, as I recall.

Remember the moment of silence?
I guess it was 10 minutes.
Dead air on hundreds of radio stations.
Eerie...

Pretty pointy!
I have nickel finger picks for my square neck, and they sound great on the strings, but have never been able to get the same awesome tone with an acoustic. Resonators simply have that special "it" factor.
I have tried a few silver coins for a pick with pretty good effect, too.
I heard Gibbons used to use an old silver peso for a pick.
Try it out!

They sell beef stew in bread bowls here in the Midwest during outdoor events.
The colder the weather, the better the stew!

Youtube doesn't allow an embed on that video. I never knew that.
Anyhow, all radio stations played Beatles and Lennon tunes for days in the Phoenix area.

I was watching Monday Night Football with some friends and family.

A man walks into a bar with a Labrador.
He makes his way to the bar and orders a drink.
“I’m sorry, but we don’t allow dogs in here,” says the bartender.
“That’s my seeing-eye dog,” the man replies.
The bartender’s face instantly drops, knowing he made himself out to be a complete jerk.
“Oh God. I’m sorry. Here — your first two are on me.” He hands the man two bottles of beer.
“Thank you, I appreciate that.” The man and his dog make their way to a table near the front door and he grabs a seat.
A little while later, another man enters the bar with a chihuahua.
The first man stops him: “The bartender is going to give you crap about your dog. Tell him it’s your seeing-eye dog and he’ll feel so bad that he’ll buy your first few rounds!”
“Thanks!” replies the second man. He wanders up to the bar and orders a beer.
“I’m sorry, sir. We don’t allow dogs in here.”
“It’s my seeing-eye dog.”
The barender’s face wrinkles into confusion. He says, “Ehhh, I don’t think so. They don’t make seeing-eye dogs out of chihuahuas.”
“ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME! They gave me a chihuahua?!”-

That's how you know it's real bread, the French buy new every day.
I love French bread except for 2 things.
1; The slices are so small I have to fish them out of the toaster with a fork.
2; It's hard to build a "Dagwood Sandwich" out of those tiny slices.

Wait a minute.
I can't have sausage and biscuits and gravy?
I'm revolting.
Me and Bob Evans go WAY back.

The question is, who was actually responsible.....?
