hey larue — how’s sac?
Suzie-Q…! ;-)
aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight?
That was real nice, reminded me of
Hi CT, Larue and Suz
hey mac — how’s noo yawk city — his voice reminds me of joe cocker
hey bb — how’s your bay tonight?
Hi pups! Been awol, housefire – nobody hurt.
Currently in a new hotel, poor but online at warp speed and rediscovering TV.
Mauna Kea is silohuetted in grand fashion…! Next week, I’ll be working up there during the day…! ;-)
Late tide so I did vinyasa and a 50 run up the sand trails…it always lQQks spectacular on a clear day from up on the Green hills. Busy day! How’s things up on the Netarts Bay?
yikes! ohmystars sunny — how bad was the damage? glad no one — esp you — was hurt.
I was kinda reminded of Leon.
That totally sucks, Sunny…!
Dear heavens, Sunny! Give us the lowdown.
hey loohoo — how’s socal tonight?
Ok, had to stop for fireworks! First day of CA State Fair, two blocks away at Cal Expo!
Fair used to stare mid August, and end Labor Day weekend.
But school schedules seemed to be a problem according to the fair board, so they switched, to Mid July thru early August, days of 100′s . . . idjits.
Fireworks are nice though!
Never heard of Danny Flowers, interesting and soulful vid there Suz, something new for me!
Danny Wiki For Others Not Familiar With Him
How ya doin up there? We’re headed to 4 days of 100F or more beginning Sat . . . sigh.
Hi Suzanne!
Cooling down here, and getting ready for a weekend of not rain, but hopefully rain tomorrow (it has been so darn hot and dry here this summer). No vaca this summer but trip to Copenhagen and Norway in Sept. all set.
a good day on the bay. not too warm, not too cool, afternoon breeze cooled it off sorta early but all in all, a good day on the bay
Hello:
Heh, talk about norcal summer nights and camping at lakes like Berryessa, stoned and drunk for days, with Credence in the background, and lake skiing all day long . . . . memories!
egad, the fair ending on labor day weekend goes back how many decades *sheez what marrooses*
Broke down and put on the airco today. I set it at 79, and it kicked in several times. I want rain!!!
Yep, easily one of the best ballads ever done, and Leon owned it. Nice.
hey ce — you *are* gonna take lotsa pictures, right?
Howdy, BB!
*waves*
Pretty cool
you were having to put on warm socks just a little while ago too. rain would be nice here — portland only hand .62″ in the last 4 weeks — fire season is a worry
Oh dang! I send best wishes and hopes for speedy recovery and such . . . wow . . . brutal.
gack, that’s can be a terrible pain in the ass! Glad no one’s hurt and hope that nothing important got burned up or hosed to ruin.
Our fair ends July 4th.
Oh, yes! It will be our one and only time in that part of the world. I’m hoping to take tons of photos.
I mean this is super trivial but is Leon wearing the same shirt in those two vids?
May you get frog legs to spring on now that you are a Bay Lady
Apologies to Mac. Missed your #5.
Yeah, complete moraanic to me, too . . . oh well.
It’s had its share of violence in the closing days past few years, but we were always out of town at Berry Fest!
Maybe the violence was the undercurrent they dont’ talk about for the change.
Course, with even hotter weather, I don’t see THAT changing.
Watched it all… he is a showman
nope, i’m enjoying all the dungie crab and the local clams…. lotsa fresh seafood available up here — my legs lost their spring a long time ago…
hmmmm
i think one is pale yellow and the other pale green… but then i have old eyes
evening, Suz, firegods
emily lou and danny
hey ppd — how’s the south south bay?
Aloha, PPD…!
Just sayin the bay may bring them back by walkin in the sand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDEP26T9amE&feature=fvw

they may be old but they sound wondrously colored.
pretty good, thanks Suz — long day

hiya CT
I’m in a two story building w/4 condo units. Appears some idiot dropped a cigarette butt into pinestraw and ignited large shrubs and a huge tree next to the building. The siding and wooden trim burned/melted but the wall (thank you jebus)held …. doubt it could have lasted much longer, it was a HUGE fire, but long enough for someone to alert me and my next door neighbor, both of us were asleep. Was mid-afternoon – I was ill. Fortunately was able to grab the cat and get him into his carrier. Was not able to get myself presentable (understatement) but got out ok.
I have only smoke damage and fumes from a bunch of soaked insulation in the attic. The unit between me and the wall took the harder hit – ceilings collapsed from the water. I’m still out until the wall and wiring can be replaced. Power Co can’t/won’t provide service on temp connection, so I’m waiting until a c/o is issued.
Had someplace between 30 and 40 firemen – mostly voluteer local dept, everyone from two diff depts (local and another town as backup) showed.
Buch of sweeties, most looked 15 yrs old to me :-)
Hiya PPDCUS!
8:00 AM is not a good time for a technical screen. I didn’t ramp up for a while, but ended on a high note. Have to see how the fellow in GMT+1 evaluates me…
Meanwhile I’ve got an onsite elsewhere on Friday, and another company told me they are definitely interested in talking further.
holy moly — that’s horrible. any idea how long you will have to hole up at a hotel and is the insurance co picking up the tab for your lodging?
Hi CE
hey wmd — yikes — that’s way way before the crack of noon. good that it ended well and yay for more interest! how ya doing?
I’ve got a feeling, guess I should let it be.
Just cooling down, and we are ready to sleep! See you this weekend.
and they’ll say that they’re paying the tab but it’ll be deducted from any payout at the end.
sunny — were the firemen this cute?
g’nite ce?
take care, CE
I needed to get coffee in me at 7;00, not 8:00. My mental acuity hadn’t ramped up at start, so I ad some anchor effects making me want to make bad code work rather than seeing the errors easily.
Kind of artificial problem because the bugs would be obvious when running it rather than analyzing it statically.
karma
a favorite tune
deserted cities
me too
Maybe I’m too subtle at times…
city
So glad you got out safely, Sunny. Will insurance cover your costs? (I know what you mean about the firemen looking young…when the PTA moms started looking like kids, I knew it was time to retire!)
Sure enough, but this is the world we live in.
sad but true dood
HA!!
i’ve been inside lotsa fire stations and never saw that!
that’s very well done!
nahant sent that to me — really is kinda how i am before i get my second cup of coffee in me
speaking of nahant, who all is going to the norcal meetup at his place in redwood city on 8/7?
iggy and tom edit switched video for one with sound
I’m fine for a lot of activities – I can ride a motorcycle before I drink coffee. I do need a bit of time to ramp up analytical thinking, caffeine helps speed that up.
Well, I found a hot Cracker song from ’93 today, Let’s Go For A Ride, but I’m not able to post the url, as it’s all disabled . . .
I found it by google youtube Cracker Let’s Go For A Ride.
It shows up in a lyrics page. With a list of Cracker projects. This one is ’93.
Go For A Ride is there, click it, and you’ll get a lyrics page and if ya scroll down, there’s a vid you can watch.
Sorry, I had a good one here Suz . . . the kind of a song makes ya wanna stick yer head out the windwo, hang yer tongue in the wind and Go For A Ride!
Alas. All the science I don’t understand . . . ;-)
how ’bout some uncle kracker
I probably should have listened to something like this first.
found it larue
don’t make you wanna go low?
cause that’s all I know.
WOW!
1) The Roxy is still there?
2) That song I know from it’s original in ’62 or so.
3) A punk act did it in New York long ago too!
Wow! What a catch!
‘fraid I’m picking up the tab :-( Shouldn’t have been this long, the condo assn is (most generous view) incompetent.
Could have found thriftier housing, but had been feeling so crappy, didn’t want to mess with it. Have declared this my vacation.. Cat got pretty knocked around. He’s at the vets and looks awful. Time to get him home, but I’m not sure about the air quality in there once I get a/c back – got a face full of nasty fumes at the time.
Lotta bs from the assn on air issues… gonna meet tomorrow with the fire chief for a bit of guidance – he be cute ;-)
dexy
It’s quiet here. everybody off hunting wabbits?
fuck and *perk* ranger or morelli cute?
Or is it just everybody’s cogitatin‘
That’s one I don’t hear every day . . .
Competence to the max!
hahahaha i’m a thinkin’
Hardly ever here to say hello but HI.
Past my bed time but under here in thunder alley it’s a bit too noisy to sleep.
I’m on the northern outpost of this system.
Sunny, I bet your counting your blessings. That shouldn’t happen to anyone.
hey nonquixote — the thunder rolls
how ya doing otherwise?
Mr Right?
and lightning
How’d you do that?
I emptied cache, rebooted, and got same results.
None of the url’s would take, once I posted them the preview came up and they all had a /// tag in them and Safari couldn’t find the server!
Yep, same album from ’93!
i am using firefox on a pc and had no trouble finding and using the utube url. dunno about safari or macs
Had it on tape… gone in our house fire.
happy 100 mac!
and yikes — when was your fire?
My Yoga teachers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDEP26T9amE&feature=fvw
I get back to work I’ll be doin’ this every day.
how forking kewl bb!
Huh, how wierd . . . next time I have an issue, I’ll try using Firefox . . .
Great song, huh! *G*
Finding some miscellaneous work, gardening and enjoying a decent summer, thanks. Can’t get broadband here, so not following all the good tube links. Making a note of some of them though.
Sunny, I’m in residential housing work and wet insulation in the ceiling can lead to serious mold problems. Keep an eye on that, respiratory complications can ensue.
I like firefox for youtube searches… all the nice search engines you can switch between in the text entry field next to the URL field. Safari doesn’t make it easy to add search resources. Opera’s good for that too. Chrome likely is as well, but I’ve not bothered with it much yet.
one of my favorite roads to drive…. dayam sure better than bear creek from 9 to 17
why have I never heard of Danny Flowers? I really like him.
hey senator — how ya doing tonight?
I should get to sleep, long day. Feel pretty upbeat – on site on friday, another possible and today’s screen could still pan out as well.
indeed dood
great M/C road too!
i hadn’t even thought about mold… good advice
g’nite wmd
I am good. Working hard. Playing hard. How about you?
Whoo Hoo!
pretty mellow :) sure as hell beats being pretty stressed. you recovered from your trip?
Ozone is good for mold.
Good picker-upper too.
Nice… another possible job. Morally suspect, not ambiguous like doing nuclear stockpile stewardship work. Fscking working to help the damn MOTU. Shit! I’m not going to respond to that email until I’ve slept on it.
stress like totally sucks.
Best luck.
hey plove — how ya doing tonight?
good night.
when it rains it pours??? or an ohfuck moment?
you wonderful thing, how can I stay blue after that.
that was for you, Loo Hoo.
mr blue
g’nite for realsies
A couple years back an out-of-town contractor put up some apartments and must have skimped on the vapor barriers or improperly vented the bathroom fans or the attics. Attic heat plus moisture put quite a few people in tough shape with chronic and persistent problems. Nothing to mess with, there are mold remediation specialists.
Yoga breathing evaporate stress cause it is slower and deeper unlike stressful breath which is shallow and jumpy. Long slow and deep breaths relieve stress allowing your systems to operate in a healthy way. No stress free life but we can manage stress. Be
Happy
I didn’t think about how late “Late Late Night” is until I was in New Orleans last week. It is pretty late.
having the cabin finally sell and moving up here did wonders for my stress levels :)
I’m still praying.
But most likely Washington will still be there in the morning.
Amen, Mary…! Come to the cool clear waters….! ;-)
*snort*
Yes master………
When I get the blues I get my rockin chair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgzdgLR6tl4
I don’t mean late in a bad way.
Wow! So nice. Thanks, mac.
You ain’t whistling Dixie I have to cut down on it so I can squeeze in meditation.
if the house is a’rockin
of course it was late — you were two time zones ahead of your regular zone..
LLN is mostly for us left-coasters, I think. (And thanks, Jane and FDL, for that!)
But in New Orleans it starts at midnight. I had to like totally change my schedule. Which was fine cause I never made the shift to central time anyway. I just stayed up until three every night.
Be here and now…in the moment stressless
Got me some new Tea Party jammies.
Catch y’all later.
Not even in the range….. but adore the notion. More like pretty is as pretty does maybe – southern small town pol style.
Everybody, thanks for the kind words. Gotta get shut-eye.
g’nite plove
g’nite sunny
Um, this isn’t a street faire.
What are Tea Party jammies?
*heh* LA is the ‘spiritual’ home of the taliban, err… FDL, ya know…! ;-)
A better song by a better guy…
prolly nightshirts with tea stains and gobbets of jam in inauspicious locations.
Great job, mod!!!
***Modnote: Thank you, thank you very much***
LA is a spiritual home for something? crazy.
I know it. I love the time stamp!
Oh! You are talking about Tea Bagger Jammies!
hey that guy — how ya doing tonight?
I am gonna hit the hay even though it is so early. :) Nite all.
hey, thanks for the featured vid. real nice.
Just got in, saw that SRV and just had to respond. :-D
LRP is the MAN!
g’nite mary mcc
Well, Jane did bail out for Connecticut and then DC…! ;-)
just as you are partial to lrp, i’m partial to srv :)
started out splitting her time between la and oregon iirc
Bar time in my town. Lightning getting closer and am going to unplug the whole unit here. Will look up some of these tubes next visit to the library.
Thanks and g’nite.
g’nite nonquixote and stay safe
Good one, ThatGuy!
It is tomorrow here poof
MUST SEE!
g’nite bb
i love that ad — its been getting lotsa play up here — and was on the local news tonight with a portland pacific northwest tie in
oh crap.. forgot the link to the original ad
I Don’t Know Why
nothing comes of …nothing
I hadn’t seen that. Brilliant! I’m on a horse….
sweet tune mac — haven’t heard that in eons
that one was for the one backstage pulling the strings and things.
i was only listening to the local news with one ear but i guess they have asked for submissions from viewers of the ad online or something
The North County Times (Issa’s mouthpiece) sees something different than what I see. Foreclosures plummet!!! Military suicides plummet!!!
all those levers and knobs…
Using !!! in honor of CTuttle.
i’m sorry i missed the night newton was donating $1 for each ! to fdl… what was that final total — $181?
I think so. That was too funny.
I’m out too. Happy Thursday!
g’nite loohoo
and it’s a lot of lifting and carrying of other folks’ water, but …..but….. but……. trouble sticking to the non scripta is vexatious.
looks like everyone is headed off to bed — i’m gonna head that way myself.
thank you for allowing me to spend a wee bit of your evening with ya and for all the conversations and music to play as our soundtrack tonight.
g’nite all and *le poof*
She did head to CT for the Lamont campaign…! Right…?
Aloha, Loo Hoo…!
*heh* Ya bailed already…! Aloha, M’dear…! ;-)
Thank you, Suzanne!! I needed that most excellent song.
Hey, CTuttle. Caught a second wind after reading this piece of crap.
Loo Hoo, if you ever link me to Karl Rove’s site without warning I’m cutting you out of the Will. Period.
Good for you! It’s profane, for sure.
And the sad part is… it’s the WSJ.
ask Tu!!!e the to!a!
Don’t feed the trolls. Especially, the dark lord of trolls. Who’s body is apparently rejecting the new human heart he got from China. My take. Can’t make a young Chinese Dissident’s heart beat in an Evil Body.
Poor Dick. Look look. See Dick gasp. Gasp Dick gasp.
have it your way.
*heh* from Crooks and Lairs…
Karl Rove Touts Hannity for 2012: The Country Would Be Better Off if it Was ‘Hannitized’
Oh no, please don’t make me link………..
I wantz to be pure.
Actually, what I want is recognition that Karl Rove is a Player behind the D.C. Madam murder, when she warnedmeveryone that she would not go gentle into that hanging . And the young woman in her organization who did present to Congress her accusations, Then “suicided”.
There’s a lot of people we owe a debt of gratitude to, so we shouldn’t forget so lightly.
We’re talking EVIL here. Oh, shit.” They” know we’re talking.
This is particularly rich…
Yeah,and they are the Men Among Men. Our most promised male leaders in a time of Chaos. Mafia, only different. No real Family Ties. No sense of Civic Duty.
I just want to steal a comment from another FDL person from a time ago: Dick Cheney, be still his beating heart.
Both… I’m not in a position to be too picky. But the thought of helping our financial overlords make more money bothers me.
I felt working with DoD to help keep our war planes from being shot down was somewhat defensible morally – there is some ambiguity because it allows war planners to think sending the planes out won’t result in US casualties yet it also protects our pilots. Making it easier for the planners seems wrong, saving the pilots seems right.
Stockpile stewardship support is also ambiguous – it’s great that nuclear weapons testing isn’t being done with weapons, but still having the weapons is wrong.
Helping Wall Street make money … it is really hard to see a public good in that, while easy to see the wrong.
And I’m at a point where I have to take some work.
I used a similar rationale when I worked on DoD projects though most of the things I worked were Communications systems. Basically, I felt that if there were good communications, then maybe it could stop something bad from happening.
happy 200 openhope!
