i went back to the place that gave me a mild bout of food poisoning last Saturday … NO FEAR. (well, a little fear -- i ordered something different).
-
I do not own any Springsteen. Heard a funny interview on NPR with his drummer. Says Bruce likes to ad lib a lot during shows and many songs start with the drums. Occasionally, in mid-set, Bruce will nod or start a count, and he has no idea which song Bruce wants to do.

Fish--you’re one of the few that i encounter that are familiar with the Captain. Quite the poet -- scares me a little that i actually understand a lot of this one … can really mess with your mind trying to figure it out -- you just gotta listen and it becomes clear…about the 81st time. Dtel will grasp this … he’s a moderator.
-
well it’ll have to be in person -- out of respect, not things i’d want to share on a public forum. You know, once upon a time, Ry Cooder played in his band.

Thanks -- i suspect there is another one or two sometime down the road. This one due in April is my youngest’s first child--maybe she’ll want more. You know not a single one of them took my suggestion for a name. Every time I’ve offered up the name Supervisor O’Boyle (for the record…our family name is not O’Boyle). I tell my kids, “That’s a name that commands respect--imagine at school, their teacher will have to call them Supervisor.” As usual, my kids don’t listen to me--I don’t know why. But they know their rock-n-roll.

Man could I tell you a few stories … and you guys thought I was crazy. Last time i saw him was at a 7-11 convenience store--he was a lover of ice cream and was buying an ice cream. He was preparing to leave town and move up North--which he did. i never saw him again.

Hey Coffee Folks … Grandchild number 8 arrived this afternoon. Number 9 is due in April. I told my kids to STOP ALREADY…Thank God that everything went fine--but have been up since 3 something this morning. i did have two cups of coffee this morning--from a local eatery.

nice catch

Logic tells me that the Pats must have felt that 2 psi gave them enough competitive advantage to take the risk.

Ho Ho Ho Hi Hi Hi Upon the My Oh MY.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq6fCOGyVJg I got my one and only ticket in Dallas...1985...on 635 getting on Central xway North. I was doin 9 over the limit and being overrun, I ask why me? He said I was the easiest to get too, it got thrown out. i liked the Old Grey Whistle Test.

Nicely said Jim. You’re right too--i could always look down to the bottom of the screen showing who was online and nearly always see BOXX. I’ve seen a lot of death in my day--so much so that you’d think it would get easier; but, it’s getting harder actually. Change is coming harder now-a-days, so i really miss talking to him. Plus, Boxx was the only one on this forum that I actually liked. Just joking of course. (if he were still here he’d give me a right about now). Actually, I’ve made some friends on this forum.

I use to hang out at this rock band’s house…the drummer once played with Richie Blackmore. He was good; but, the rest of the gang treated him bad because he was always so doped up. One night the band was playing in the garage and i told the drummer that I’d turn out the lights and flip on a stobe light and he could bust into a mad drum solo. He agreed. I did my part and he did his. Soon the lights were back on. I turned to comment to the person standing next to me and it was a Los Angeles County Sheriff. He said, “Personally, I liked it; but, your neighbors don’t.” Turns out the lead singer didn’t like it either. Drummer introduced me to a guy named Captain Beefheart … what a trip that dude was. I could listen to his stories all night. He partied at my brother’s house. He actually made a music video probably 10 years before MTV. Sadly, the Captain died a few years ago. Captain, Zappa, and I all lived in the same town once upon a time--but, they were older than me. Rolling Stone had his album Trout Mask Replica as Number 60 on their top 500 LPs of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzk6lTjL_dQ

of course this thread is specifically about speeding tickets … so i won’t mention my carpool lane violation ticket, running a stop sign ticket, passing a school bus ticket (that one was BS--the bus didn’t have it’s lights on when me and three other cars passed it), the ticket for not having lights on the roll bar covered ...
-
actually, he was going the opposite way and flipped a U-turn to come after me. I wonder if it was the music? The harder the rock, the faster I seem to drive.

Nothing like being stuck on the can at 1:30 in the morning … except at 3:30 am … and 5:30 am ...

My Dad was a cop and while learning to drive he told me that if a person couldn’t spot a cop in time to correct whatever they were doing wrong, then they deserved a ticket. We could see a dot on the horizon and he’d tell us that was a cop -- and it was. i had immunity in our hometown, they’d just tell me to slow down, then tell my Dad.
-
last time i got pulled over the cop asked me if there was any reason that i had to be doing 93 mph. in my defense, it was on interstate 5 and that’s practically the autobahn.

Ok so where did you eat to break up the del taco routine, should have known the switch would cause a problem. got a salad from a regular old restaurant actually. had them a million times from this place; but, this time it got its revenge.
-
recovering from a mild bout of food poisoning (saturday). Stomach felt okay this morning until i drank a cup of coffee--that wasn’t a good idea (but, i’ll do it again tomorrow morning … because i’m a slow learner).

Still have to call him maestro.
-
Is there a difference?
-
1976 Telecaster Thinline Semi-Hollow body was my first guitar. Wish i still had it.
-
I do have a time machine; but, it’s in the storage closet and i don’t feel like moving stuff out of the way to get to it.
-
very sorry to hear that. prayers will continue.

that’s interesting -- back in my married days if i stayed too close to the ladies that’s when i got thrown into the fire.
