Not much of a turnout at our social club's lunch today, only 6 of us. Members keep talking about needing more activities, like we had before COVID. Not if so few are coming to the 4 or so we have each month.
On this morning's walk, we ran across the beginning of a homeless camp right on the public trail along the wash, leaving very little room to get by. I can usually just live and let live, but for this I went on line and submitted a report. I did not report the people living under a bridge for the last few months or the guy under a tarp on the sidewalk on a different bridge.

Ok, it isn’t Saturday. I know that but I may need a hint as to what day it actually is. Give me the first letter and I’ll take it from there.

Lunch with Marty, chat with Dave Roos, and dropped two guitars off at Willie’s.
Pat had a decent day at her antique store with some good sales.
Back to Alexandria tonight.

Never heard of this so I'll just assume it's a cynical put down. I suspect Mike was poking fun at those who claim that democrats stole the last presidential election. I thought it would be obvious. Apparently not. David’s take was correct. Mike

I'm sure this image will mean more to me than to you. It's just an old woman laughing with her dog, right? (so why share it?) This is one of Dar's friends. One she met 20 some years ago at dog training classes. Tracy is a very special woman. She will do anything for her friends. More than that, she'll do anything for strangers. Dar knows most of this not because Tracy tells Dar what she does in a manner claiming virtue, but Dar finds out either from other friends, or when Tracy recounts something matter-of-factly that she doesn't think is as remarkable as it is. For instance, Tracy goes to homeless shelters, brings lunch and shares it and conversation with folks there. Just a way to spend her lunch hour. And the reason the photo means something to friends like me? The dog is Chloe. She's blind and deaf. Tracy's raised her from puppyhood. Chloe can do scentwork. Chloe can do obedience. Obviously Chloe can make Tracy laugh. She is a treasure. Thanks for posting this, John.

PBS is running the Simon & Garfunkel Central Park concert as a fundraiser vehicle -- what a fabulous show that was. Paul playing an Ovation!
On edit, Artie's voice is a miracle of nature.

That was broadcast here a few weeks back. I had the same reaction.

my digital 8-channel PA system w/Daedalus speakers. I remember those speakers from our Baraboo gathering long ago -- amazing sound, but don't they weigh a ton? Yes, all solid cherry wood, 60lbs a piece

Tonight is the ribbon cutting and grand opening of a new wine bar, The Niche, in Vinton. Dan and Maureen Boddicker are the owners and they have put together something special. It's in the Brickside building on main street. Worth stopping at when people are in Vinton for Ijam. Dan and Maureen are both very musical. Raining here this morning. I assume you are aware that it is considered right and proper, a fortuitous omen, to show up at a bar opening well-tooted. It's like adding yeast to a bread mix, it gets the place going in the right direction by seeding it with the type of customer that brings prosperity.

Didn't drink before I went, and didn't drink there. I must be a real looser!

There is still time to remedy your unintentional faux pas. Hit it hard this weekend!

That's because you didn't get "tight" before you arrived.

Today's endeavor to begin the long process of getting rid of all my musical equipment. I've chosen Facebook marketplace to try and sell stuff. Today I listed for sale my Paul Beard square neck dobro National Reso-lectric and LR Baggs Acoustic Reference Amplifier. I also need to list my digital 8-channel PA system w/Daedalus speakers. I've, so far, been unsuccessful in finding anyone interested in this. All of it seems a little over the top.
