Just checking in...
Haven't blogged for a while. Just thought I'd check in with my devoted followers. Still hangin' in there? I hope so.
I'm trying to. Who isn't right?
It's started to rain out here in Washington. The rainy season. Summer was good though. Long days spent doing things people do in the summer. I like to swim.
What are you going as for Halloween? I'm not dressing up this year. Just not that into it anymore. I do like the candy though. Who doesn't. Thank you George Renninger.
Well, good talking to you. Sorry it's been so long since we've just chatted. It was nice wasn't it? I thought so too.

New World Man
I may just star emailing it in. I could also text it in if I want, but don't think that's necessary.
I am writing this post via email as my first test. Wonder if I can attach a photo?
Anyway, we'll see if this adds any life to my future posts.

I'll take "Four's a crowd" for $500...
In May of 2009 this Blog site had a four way tie on its weekly Poll...
What is Can't we all just Blog along?
Correct!
Thanks Alex...
So I don't know what to do... Sliders/Robber Barons/Game Show Hosts and Jumping on Trampolines?
Sliders are small hamburgers. Often steemed. They are regaining popularity now. Everyone seems obssessed with little burgers.
Here's a photo.
Robber Barons is a term for an industrialist who made a lot of money through unfair business practices.
Not robbers like this:
Robber Barons like this:
Starting with (from left to right) John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and J.P. Morgan
Game Show Hosts:
Alex Trebeck is the best game show host ever. He knows everything. Enough about game show hosts.
Jumping on Trampolines:

The Dead Show!
Instead of giving you a complete account of the show, I thought I would address the highlights through 10 Questions About the Dead.
7. So, how was the concert? It was a good show. They sounded really good. The guitarist that fills in for Jerry is great. They played a diverse set heavy on the late 70's and 80's material with some other gems thrown in. They played for over 3 hours.
9. So, are you glad you went? Definitely. It was a great show. Even though I got a really bad headache towards the end and threw up out of the car window on I-90.
Here's me. Notice the strollers and kids in the background.
I think they just came for the drugs. They didn't seem to be affiliated with or interested in any of the bands.
That's my leg!
Thanks for checking me out this week. Sorry for the delay on this one. I started writing it last Saturday before the show with the intent that I would finish it up early in the week. Well, I tried a couple of times and didn't know where I was going with it. But, here it is. Check back soon for other great posts. I put up a new feature last week so I wouldn't forget what has been requested.

The Art of the Deal...
I saw it as soon as we got there. It was displayed on an endcap in the electronics. A clearance item, mail-in rebate, the "Last One". Let the negotiations begin. I was ready.
Trump
Spacey
I got the Department Manager. The Paper Department Manager...
She was frazzled already. They were busy. Did I mention I was ready?
I'll spare you the carnage, buy suffice it to say that I got the winning end of that deal.
The result: I walked out of there with a good laptop for... Ready? $200.00.*
My idols would be proud...
********************************************************************************
Hey thanks for stopping by. I know you don't have much time in your day and I want you to know that I appreciate you. If it wasn't for you, who would read this? Anyway, check back soon for some new topics. I added a list of upcoming posts so that I can keep track of the ones I blatantly ignore. You can't always follow the voice of the people. But don't despair, your voice will be heard.
On that topic, make sure you check out the new poll on the top right. Every vote counts. Double votes count twice. Feel free to double up.
*So, they couldn't find the battery so they dropped the price in half. I did get her to drop the price an additional 10% before that happened. Also, the after market battery was only $68. So it's still a great deal, Okay?

How?
I hope you had a box of tissues nearby. I should have mentioned that before. I barely made it to the bathroom myself before my shirt was completely soaked.
Now take a moment with me to recollect this poor man's journey. It began in what appeared to be a pristine river. Our hero started out on an innocent canoe ride. (It must have relaxed him). Only to find refuse in the river. Going further it appears that he experienced a time warp into the 1970s, 1971 to be exact, landing in a major commercial port, passing evil factories and power plants only to find that perhaps that meadow that he was travelling to was overcome by highways and cars. Not to mention the litter. The place was riddled with it. His only recourse at the time was what many of us might have. The shedding of a tear.
That brings another question to mind: Was our hero crying because of modern society's negative impact against the environment or because of the complete unfamiliarity of his surroundings? I mean he probably left his squaw back in his village. With his two children Walks with Elk and Stands like Oak. If he really did take a time warp, which for all intents and purposes would have been the only way he could have arrived where he did, he would never see them again. Nor would he fit in with the kickin' styles of the 70's in his full leather Native American clothing, not counting certain pop bands of the era. Imagine the looks he got. That would be enough for most men to turn their faces in shame.
What became of our hero? Did he go on a scalping rampage? Trade skins for wampum? Get smallpox? We will never know. All I do know is that from now on if a crying indian comes up to me, I won't shun him. I will embrace him. He most likely just misses his family and is searching for a way back to his wife and children. To which I say: Happy journeys dear friend, happy journeys. In the meantime, I just need to figure out how to reverse a time warp. How hard could that be?
***********************************************************************
Thanks for checking out this week's post. I hope to be getting back on track soon. Check out my new poll by the way on the top left. See it? Now, take a moment to think of all of your friends who might not be checking out my blog right now and vote for them. It's what a friend would do. Isn't it?

Was that February we just passed?
As you may be able to tell from this picture, I was not necessarily going to write about fashion in the 1980s, but possibly fashion for people in their 80s. That may have been funnier, but I wasn't sure. Just in case, I looked for some 1980's fashion photos as well.
Okay... Here's another:
Alright... Here's a picture:
Did I mention that Mardi Gras was in February...
Until next time...
*****************************************************************************
Hey, I really am sorry for not doing that Eighties Fashion post. With such a great response to the poll you would think I would have jumped right on it to please my readers. Nope.
Anyway, I have added a new poll on the top left where you can weigh in on your opinion as well as the opinion of as many dead people and pets that you should feel free to vote for as well.
Oh... In case you're wondering, February is really a packed month. There is literally a holiday every day of the month. And it's not only Black History Month but:
American Heart Month
An Affair to Remember Month
Canned Food Month
Creative Romance Month
Great American Pie Month
National Cherry Month
National Children’s Dental Health Month
National Grapefruit Month
National Weddings Month
Now you can see why I was so busy...It was Canned Food Month people...

Rock and Roll Fantasy!
Wonderful Spatula:
Who would have thought that a song about a kitchen device could be so moving and so rockin' at the same time. Sadly, only one other show exists. The BYU Halloween Bash
Now, along with my lead guitar duties, I sang a couple of my own songs. They were generally acoustic based and only sometimes turned from love songs to songs about Jews.
Here is one of them from the BYU show.
Don't Know:
I'm sure you noticed the raw emotion spewing out of me. As well as the pleas to the crowd not to leave because of the touching feelings that I'm sure were their reason for leaving early. Not to mention the impressive display of plaids that only a true rocker can get away with.
Finally, I will share one of the little known tracks. I guess we only played it one time, since until recently I didn't remember ever playing it, but it was a rocker and was about everyone's dream to be a Jellyfish.
If I was a Jellyfish:
The Rock Gods smiled on us that day in October. I probably even made out with a hot babe that night.

Hello...
I was going to do a year in review, but I think it's too late for that now...
I was going to do a post on December holidays, but that fizzled...
Is it still Kwanzaa? Be right back... Nope. That ended January 1...
I think I will ease into the new year. Nobody get stressed. Okay?
I will be back with more posts soon enough. I promise.
**********************************************************************************
I have decided to revert to my previous polling method. Check out the new poll that's up... I don't think I need to tell you what to do with that. Rock It?
