John Smith

i'm three weeks late on this but hopefully you are feeling good. i had mine done this summer.

Yesterday was three weeks and I went for a two mile walk. It’s been shockingly easy for me. I’m very pleased.

A second woman has come forward to accuse Franken of groping her during a photo.  

The bag band...Garbage on lead, Hefty Trash on Bass, Douche as the lead singer, Half Inthe is the drummer, and Ass is the road manager.

Dead at 83.

I have not been, but a friend went last year and loved it. Highly recommends getting out into th country to see the glaciers, waterfalls, mountains etc... I belive there is a place where you can snorkel and have one hand on North America and the other on Europe. Though I would imagine that snorkeling in Iceland in April would be cold. Maybe a dry suit would work.

Rhythm guitarist - quiet, unassuming Mr Side Burns.

I believe Franken has asked the senate ethics committee to investigate.

 

Sadly though I imagine faux news is calling for his head rather than questioning the woman’s statements.

 

Me? Investigate it, censor him if guilty, move on if not. Then it’s up to MN voters to vote him out, or re-elect him.

Was the lot similar to the Judas Priest lot documentary - forgot the name of it. Must have been a trip.

 

Heavy Metal Parking Lot.

I always thought Up was great ---- I think I enjoy it more than Monster and New Adventures.

 

It could be that this was first time that I saw them in concert - while they were supporting the Up record --- they definitely played like they had something to prove (it was in St. Louis - Wilco opened).

I was at that show. I was pleasantly surprised how well the songs from UP sounded live. Still an uneven album that I rarely pull out to listen to though.

damn.

 

 

for me, this is like choosing between Trump or a flaming dumpster fire. pretty easy choice.

Dumpster fire for sure.

i hope you are well soon. i had mine done over 10 years ago & it is hanging in ok. i'm sure the tech has grown a lot in the meantime.

Thanks. I agree that it’s probably advanced quite a bit over and he last ten years. Not sure how long you were in hospital for, but I had surgery yesterday and they are discharging me today. Amazing.

I really don’t love any one more than the others. It usually depends on my mood and the circumstances that I’m listening to them. It could be Murmur today, Reckoning the Morris and new adventures the day after that. However I would say with certainty that nothing after New Adventure would make my favorites list. The albums after NA have their moments but none are consistent enough for my tastes.

Thanks. I’m surprised that I have almost zero pain and have been up to walk already. Very pleased so far.

Today I got my hip replaced. 57 yrs and old, first surgery in my life.

Roy Halladay died in a plane crash today.  He was 40.  He was a great pitcher when he was on his game, which was most nights.

Rep Ted Lieu walked out on a moment of silence for the victims. He can’t do that any more without any actual action taking place to stop the next shooting.

 

White guy = lone wolf, mentally ill, price of freedom etc..,

Brown guy = terror, extreme vetting, close borders, Islam is the enemy etc...

Black guy = thug BLM terrorist blah blah blah

 

Which one commits the most mass shootings? Which one gets the benefit of the doubt? Which one do we do nothing about? Which one controls almost 100% of the government at all levels?

Well worth the time if you are a fan:

 So far (through 3 ep) this podcast tracks pretty close to the book in the box set.  Its nice to hear the voices though.

 

Edit: Ep 4 passes what is written in the Savage Young Du Booklet, which pretty much ends just before Zen.

I hope you are both having "thoughts", as well.

Have you noticed that some of the Republican pols (Cruz, Ryan) have dropped the THoughts out of their thoughts and prayers statements?  I don't think that they want to think about it any more.

 

Side note, A friend of my daughter has a couple of friends who are serving over seas whose parents were killed in the shooting. Six degrees of separation...two steps to this shooting for me.

I love how Carter Pages CNN interview began...congratulations on not being indicted. Too funny.

Money laundering? Espionage? Hiding from your wife?

Game 7 coming up

And how can Hillary collide with Russia and make up s fake dossier tonhelp herbein, but release it two months after the election. Very cunning indeed.

Papadop has flipped maybe as early as July. One description of his flipping said he was actively cooperating which might mean that he was wearing a wire. If so this could be interesting.

Apparently Papadapoulous plead guilty earlier this month and has been cooperating with the FBI. He, in spite of his lack of experience, is a key player in this whole mess. The guilty plea documents are really eye opening.

 

Also trump is pushing the notion that Manafort is indicted for crimes that happened years ago. Sorry, the indictment is clear the the activity In question is through 2016..,though right now 2016 does seem like years ago. Manafort should pay attention to trumps words. Trump will distance himself and push manafort under the bus. This could cause him to flip.

Today I saw that millers knee injury is so bad that doctors are working to save his leg and amputation is a possibility.
