Glad Rich at least asked Steve to join -- I was wondering if he reached out to him or not.

We are few shows into Season 2 of Shameless. Fun show.

Thanks - I haven't gotten around to watching it, but I did put on my saved shows on Netflix. The kid and I may just stick with American Pickers for now. Will check out the Detectorists, though - seems interesting.

Yeah same here - today, just a constant nagging cough/ watery eyes, nose, etc. Breathing seems okay - the kid is also asthmatic, which is always a concern to the school nurse/teacher and may be a reason why they booted her out, today. Which is understandable, I guess, in hindsight.

Tell me about it -- granted, it's only preschool - she's 5. She should have stayed, though.

Jinxed myself - just got a call my kid's school nurse - i am off to pick her up. Buggers.

and wreaking havoc on my daughter's allergies.

Tweedy's episode of Parks and Rec. was playing when I was at my Mexican lunch spot this morning - the episode when he was trying to sing Andy's Karate Chop Master song -- I laughed, again.

Sad news. Heard Dickey's 'Duane's Tune' on the radio this morning on the way to work -- I don't think I ever heard it before. My first impression was hair metal - Skid Row or something. It just seemed way to forced.

Figures - that's what I get for giving the HOF the benefit of the doubt

Plus, Neil probably always had better weed than Pete. I can't imagine the inductees not having complete control on who inducts them - -but who knows, the R&R HOF is a weird organization.

Looks like Glenn is in the professor business, too. My wife probably would have flipped if she ran into on campus... http://www.uchicago.edu/features/experimenting_with_song/

Just realized, the two owls that have been around my house for the last three years are back --- they could help with the situation, too. I think my village is filled with a bunch of lazy predators...

Do they end up drowning and do you just relocate them once they are caught. I do have a great park across the street from me. They all can live a very comfortable life over there.

I have not tried that -- I will definitely will - thanks.

That would be great - my youngest kid loves seeing the two scurry around, but I think a 5 year old is ready to see a cracked neck and a little blood trickily from a mouth (in case I don't get to the trap, before she sees it) Of course, hopefully sunflower butter works - since the stated 5 year old has a peanut allergy.

Yeah it does, even the wife said 'wow', while watching the video.

Yeah - I have tried 'nice' deterrences and such over the last two springs/summers with not much success -- think I am ready for your idea.

Wish a coyote would take care of the two chipmunks that hang out around my house - the burrowing little fuckers. We do have fox that hangs outs in our back yard from time to time, but I guess it is not a chipmunk fan.

I think they never had the 2nd set in the vault.

OK Tipper - I'll watch an episode first, before I watch it with the kid. (honestly thanks for the parental head's up, though now I have a dumb Judas Priest song in my head)

Need to check out Detectorists -- it sounds like it will be right up my kid's alley - he loves finding crap while we are out walking about. He is a big fan of American Pickers.

Just realized that my intro to Chuck may have been off REO's Nine Lives record with their version of Rock and Roll Music. Production is pretty dreadful, but it's a solid cover. They totally REO-ed it up. Which I think one should do with a cover -- for better or worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMEquKqOcoc Listening to Chuck's Complete Chess Singles cd, tonight.

Enjoy - that sounds like a great bill - let us know how the show was -- if you don't mine.

Jeez, forgot all about Speed Buggy --- a Jay v. Jeff Wacky Race episode would be fun, too
