Hey Suz and everyone!
nahant, I sure wish I could make it to your latest meet-up. Not only am I working this weekend, but I’m 3000 miles away! One of these days, though, I am gonna surprise everyone and make it to the left coast…
hey starbuck — how’s your side of the coast range tonight?
hey nahant — how ya doing tonight?
hey ll — how’s va tonight?
Great song!
I’m OK.
got another weirdness in job search. 6 weeks ago I got told a position I had applied for and where hiring manager had expressed interest, but hadn’t interviewed me had an offer pending. So I pinged HR again when I saw position was still open.
Got told it is taking longer due to immigration issues. WTF? That sounds like an H1B visa issue. Not much I can do about it. And the HR/recruiter is sending me other positions now.
Now that would be a great surprise!!! Guess I will just hafta keep having meetups…
Last night the skull toasted the Bay on 1.5 mile return. The body was very flexible for the vinyasa class right after. Today was BOS public comment. I went after getting safe parking lots for the homeless with vehicles and a mentoring program for them.
Dang there’s another oldie!
Nice pick!
Howdy Puppers.
ut oh — that wasn’t a marlboro
all’s well here Suz, just trying to stay cool in the August heat. Hope it’s all good out there on the OR coast :-)

strange indeed…. fingers and toes still crossed dood
hey larue — how’s sac tonight?
Lovely here, Suz. How’s the Oregon coast?
marine layer so i can’t see the forking northern lights tonight…. *sigh* my first opportunity to see them and i’ve got low cloud cover :(
she walks these hills
days in the mid to high 60′s and low’s in the 50′s. other than the forking clouds… pretty darn nice :) got pics of an eagle washing in the creek yesterday — put them up at my place
it seems a bit suspicious.
Hi, Suz. How’w your back feeling, better, I hope? Good evening, fellow firepups. All is well in the mountain west tonight.
long cool
Dang, people are clever!
hey pastfed — back was only cranky for a day or two and is back to its usual dull roar. doing well here — how ya doing?
Yes, no Northern Lights here tonight, either. Just cloud cover. Makes me feel grateful for the times we have seen them. Magic. Humbling.
i loved watching that 70′s show… so forking funny
hey openhope — dang was hoping you were clear :( how ya doing tonight?
cool jerk
Not bad temp wise, one kinda 94ish today, cooling off now, been lo 90′s, gonna be i 80′s!
We thank dawg for that summertime marine layer that cuts thru Vacaville and hits the Valley!
That and them delta breezes!
Remarkably kewl summer, still.
Been REAL amazed past few days with 3-4 just INCREDIBLE Seminal Diaries.
Casual Observer, Richard Lyon, forget the others off top of head.
But they are all top shelf writings like you’d get from Chompsky, Englehardt, Greenwald, etc.
Just incredible talent that’s come to FDL in general, off the main page.
What a delight!
*G*
cold
Good to hear it, PFU!
She Walks Thru The Corn!
Manfred Mann Does Bluegrass!!!!
Never seen this!!
Wow.
This Was NewGrass At The Time!
* modnote: tried to fix the first link but was unable to*
Thanks, got it!!! *waves*
I’ve got Just Say Now on my mind tonight. Guess I’m probably going to sign up for Volunteer Time after I send my $10 in.
I’m sure as hell not putting time into another political asshole’s campaign this year. I give good Phone Politics. Friggin’ bond, baby!! :>
cold cold
Nahant, wish I could be there for the meet-up, it sounds like a good time, and would be fun to meet some of the pups in person. Thought seriously about a marathon drive dwond to your neck of the woods, but family matters intervened. I will be in the Santa Monica area next monday & tuesday nights on business, however. Is that anywhere near you?

Not really Santa Monica is down in La La land… we are in the Bay Area just south of San Francisco.

You’d think I’d of gotten those bloody headphones by now.!! I must be a true “natural” intelligence. I can’t find any that are compatible with Tinnitus.
They warned me I’d go deaf.
Janis singing about Mary Jane
*sigh* i got that same warning
ooooo good one margot! how ya doing tonight?
canned heat
oh sweet! Hey Margot!
mary jane
eMeg. Look what she could have accomplished with the money.
muddy
Oops, By natural I meant I like to hear the sounds moving through spacial planes, have trouble with sound jammed into my ears. I’m lucky I was born a couple generations ago. I’d be a social outcast in this age.

Our weather dood said it was a long shot that we’d see them here in the Dee Cee area — one of these days I would love to have a chance to see ‘em.
What’s ever become of Canned Heat? Any idea?
They may not be happening yet. It’s still kind of early. I just checked, we’re socked in.
never seen nature’s happy trails….. tis on my list of things to see yanno
still around per their web site
Hey Loo Hoo, no idea — I think their frontman passed away years ago, not sure if any of their reincarnations are still playing or touring.
I owe ya — what are ya drinking?
I’d love a chance to see them like our friends in Finland experience them. They spit and roll and have an strange song. So I’m told.
a latte would be nice ll
Hi LL! Nice to see you, nice to see everyone. I love this Just Say NOW campaign. It’s about damn time.
I have a feeling this will pass before the ERA for women.
Hope we hear from Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico, who’s adamently pro-legalization.
Reefer Madness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2FZgErvNTE&feature=fvw
Hey that’s cool, and what an experience that would be :-)
latte sliding down the bar at ya, with the peace sign foam art
love this Suz!
little mary sunshine
One day, maybe, I could legally enjoy a smoke when I’m on a break from work. Who knows?
my fav cover is by buddy guy and stevie ray vaughan — is 25 minutes and takes 3 utubes to play…. tis a great song
ooooo thanks ll — my favorite foam art
probably not likely if ya can’t have a margarita on your break :)
but off duty…
ooooo coming up on the 100
sigh, margaritas are still verboten at work ;-)
radio silence Suz! ;-)
Was lucky in 70′s early 80′s to see Doc N Merle a lot, and them do Windy And Warm more than a few times.
Dang he’s a treasure.
Nice.
I really think this is something I can throw energy into because it’s true TransPartisan. I’m so grateful to Jane for taking all that crap when she first ventured out on a TransPartisan issue.
Thank you, FDL!!!
It’s so cool to watch it hit the media like a Hot Campaign.

don’t do it
A classic bluegrass song, as hated by bluegrass bands as Rocky Top, and Manfred Mann did it!
Yep, Charlie Waller and Duffey. The Gents. Original newgrass music!
100?
happy 100 ll!
Wow, you’re GOOD !!! Bows in respect.
lol Suz and openhope, it was pure luck!
That wins the intertoobz tonite!
Wow. And the list to the right!
Janis in ’62!!!

You eat and drank for free tonite!

Thank you Suz as ever, and g’night all!

Got to see them once, Circle Star, San Carlos.
Might have been the night I saw Ronstadt with Stone Poney’s. I was 14 or so.
They rocked the house. That I recall.
wow — that wudda been a great show — there were so many great lineups in the bay area in the 60′s and 70′s.
Americana, as good as it gets!
MMMMM sounds good, I’ll have two too!!!
Dished up with black beans, roasted red bells, red onions, cilantro, and some fresh lime juice.
Savor!
i think we need some margaritas to go with that
Yeah, from ’64 (saw the Beatles Cow Palace I was 11) thru ’69 my big sis had to drag me with her to shows!
Circle Star in San Carlos was SO happening, and 10 minutes from our house on the freeway!
Ohhh yeah!
3 parts Patron Anjeo
2 parts Cointreu
1 part fresh lime juice
Over ice, shaken, strained into chilled martooni glasses!
Pita Rita Style!
Yeah, what I recall was at Circle Star they booked a SF Hippie Band, A Soul Artist, and a Brit Invasion group.
Great mixes in them days, just like on the raydeo!
Whoa. Mexicana could be going under.
i was the older sister who had to drag my little sister with me to the beatles at candlestick. after that, i went to shows with friends who had cars :)
crap — isn’t that what you used to fly down to panama?
*G*
The Last Hurrah, Candlestick.
Wow!
gotta start out with a good one so ya know another good show when ya see it :)
“High Labor Costs” my ass . . . . that’s pure corporate fascism speaking there.
Like any airline, cost of doing business has skyrocketed thru the years from fuel and insurance alone.
SOME airlines, find a way to exist and make a profit.
I’d seen articles of stranded people in many places past two days.
Not just at LAX.
Business AND tourism is gonna be hurt by this, hard.
Best of luck to them all.
But to blame it on pilots and stewerd salaries?
HAH!
Gotta run Pups, thanks Suz and all for the thrills!
Best to all.
g’nite larue
Yup. AeroMexico is having problems too.
Nighters, folks.
g’nite loohoo (or were you saying g’nite to those that left)
guess its time for me to go now. g’nite all and thank you for letting me spend a wee bit of time with ya tonight.
g’nite and *le poof*
Hey folks! Everyone ever feel like they live in two worlds? The Internet world and the real world? I was chatting to someone about my thought on how to help Elisabeth Warren and this friend said, “maybe you should go see a movie” it was a note about getting out of my head/ Internet world and into the real world (of movies?)
Warren doesn’t know I exist and probably doesn’t need my help. It might not even be helpful. But when i look at the world I want to help the good people and hinder the bad.
