It was a special arrangement. Very nice people!!!

Ready to fly home from Manchester, NH. May the beer gods smile upon me and keep the cans and bottles intact.

At the airport for a rather ridiculous beer run. I'm picking up 2 cases of Heady Topper at the brewery tomorrow morning. It looks like it'll be snowing tomorrow; I'm suffering from a sunburn so I'll probably look like a freak.

MJ paid $41.5 million and sold the catalog for $750 million. Too bad he's not around to see the result of his investment.

My favorite cover of Masters of War is by the Scott Amendola Band. Nels Cline plays guitar and Carla Bozulich handles the vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpLWTPoXuVg

Yep. My neighbor insists that it's the first song played when we hang out by his pool, etc.

It sure is a small world. I've known Tim and Wade (drums and guitar) for ages. I try to make it to Denver for GABF and general merriment once or twice a year and we always have a fun time at shows and breweries. I don't want to leave Texas and I hate cold/snow/ice, but Denver would be at the top of the list if I had to move. The people seem very friendly there ... maybe it's the weed.

Happy to help! I don't use it very much, but you inspired me to post the contents of my iTunes library, too. I just viewed my library by song, selected everything and then copied and pasted into Excel and uploaded it to Google Docs. It's most of my CD collection (as of a few years ago) and there are some glaring typos, some of which were caused by attempting to automatically batch rename files and tags, which didn't work so well. The Billboard Top 100 albums were compiled by someone else, but they're a lot of fun to play over the outdoor speakers while socializing with the neighbors. I jus

The board probably denies Excel files because they can contain dangerous macros. Maybe it'll allow posting if you zip the file first? Or you could save it as a Google document and share a read-only link.

I assume it's Scott? My friends said that he's beloved in the Denver music scene. They've played shows there; they're in a band called Black Dots.

From what I've read, the guy is a seasoned activist and videos of him desecrating a flag have circulated. Apparently someone made a fake ISIS video months ago that utilized footage of him and the Trump campaign took it as the real deal. Poor investigative skills, but not necessarily racist. No, the burden is upon you. How is it racist?

How is that racist?

Sure, but all I'm really concerned about is the overall suicide rate, not the method. I've visited the UK 4 times and every trip I've had my train stop because someone had jumped in front of a speeding train. At least gun suicides don't impede traffic...

Ditto.

Suicide rates are a cultural phenomenon. South Korea has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the world, yet they're atop the suicide stats. Japanese hang themselves, the British jump in front of trains and Americans blow their brains out. Where there's a will...

The FBI figures are clear. Gun manufacturers, the NRA and individual citizens aren't fighting efforts to make firearms safer -- they're already safe. They're fighting efforts to criminalize, confiscate and ban firearms. It's ludicrous that screwing a piece of plastic onto a standard hunting rifle can result in a felony conviction and the loss of the right to own a firearm and vote. Guns are perfectly safe. They're just hunks of metal, wood and plastic that are designed to do one thing: fire when the trigger is pulled. Gun manufacturers would have an obligation to improve the safety of the

I don't know who Heidi Kluhm is and I'm just assuming that Bristol Palin is one of Sarah Palin's kids. I'd rather have a root canal than watch a reality show or read a tabloid, but I'll be damned if I haven't somehow learned who Kim Kardashian is, who she's married to and when she had a baby. If it makes anyone happier, feel free to visualize Chelsea Clinton snorting coke off Kim's kans when you read my post.

No they haven't. They've been declining steadily for about 20 years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/03/weve-had-a-massive-decline-in-gun-violence-in-the-united-states-heres-why/ Kim Kardashian was the most tabloid-y celebrity with a baby that I could think of.

I've never said that we don't need gun laws. I've said that we don't need additional gun laws that do little or nothing to reduce gun crime while punishing, inconveniencing or criminalizing responsible, law-abiding gun owners. This scenario would more closely parallel my stance on new gun legislation: We have seatbelt laws and they undoubtedly save lives, but some people flaunt them even though they are liable to be fined and lose their licenses. The vast majority of parents will put their child in an appropriate car seat, but some people are willing to break the law and risk their child's

It wasn't on the car seat, it was under the driver's seat. Sounds like the mother should be charged for not having the kid seatbelted in a proper seat.

I'm really enjoying it. Better Call Saul is in top form and The Walking Dead seems to have picked up steam. I'm also enjoying Hulu's miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's 11.22.63 and Game of Thrones is just around the corner. Lots of good television on offer these days.
