evening, CT

Aloha everybody.

Aloha, PPD…! I hope all is well with ya…! *g*

Aloha, Mz…! How’s OR doing tonite…?

Hey! Good Evening!

CT !

Nothing like a Canuck Track to kick off the Summer … now if only we had some really
good Beer ! *g*

1969. well, I don’t know what to say except that I was 17. And lusting for life.

Hey Petro! We do have great beer here in Cleveland, the Great Lakes Brewery.

aloha, CT & Pups!

what’s on my mind? wondering if it will Ever! Stop! Raining! GAH! It never stays sunny long enough to dry out the veggie garden enough to plant.

Christine !

Pass some this way, and I’ll send ya some Moosehead … *g*

Petro…! Aloha, mi amigo…!

I’m no longer an Youtube Virgin…! ;-)

Sliding down, I do love beer in summer, micro brews esp.

I was 16 and had my first out-of-body experience….

{{{{{NDFG}}}}}

Toronto was enjoying a great Sunny day when a sudden major storm erupted … Thunder, Lightning, Heavy Rains and a Tornado watch !

Rain everyday for weeks and weeks. Sun today though!

Pretty chill. And your day, CTuttle? :-)

Very nice ! Man, what it must be like, to see that for real …

Heh, you are so good at pulling my leg…

Summer of 69!! Boy do I remember that one.. Got out of the Army after being overseas for 2 years(luckily not the Nam) on August on the second and 16 days later was at Woodstock! I couldn’t have had a better home coming!!!

Sun and 90 degree highs in the georgeous state of Pennsylvania. Birds singing in the trees in my yard all day, while their peeps keep up a racket all night long.

Life is good….

Aloha, Sweetie…! *g*

There’s a lot of excess moisture in the air these days…! 8-(

doing well, thanks CT – how’s everything in paradise tonight?

Where in PA? I’m from Chadds Ford, MrCE from Valley Forge, and inlaws live in Skippack.

{{{ PETRO! }}} Hoping no tornados appeared during the watch!

frustrating! we get sunny intervals, but it seems like every day for weeks we’ve had at least one shower or intense downpour. How’s a farmgrrrlll ‘sposed to get her gardening done?

aloha, astro-twin! no climate change tho, nope, nothing to see here, move along folks.

Central PA, James Carville calls it ‘Little Alabama’….

I’m wearing my Wellies everyday.

Thankfully, no … back to 77 Monday and 100+ on Tuesday …

Summer of ’69 – just married (short-lived – over in ’72) – working at University Hospital in Seattle, driving a message and package truck, trying to save enough $$$ to go back to school. Living on a houseboat in Lake Union that didn’t float (it was resting on top of another one that had sunk). Helping draft dodgers get into Canada through the AFSC and brewing hash in my kitchen.

Most exciting thing that happened at work that summer was delivering 9 pints of blood for the first big sex change operation they did there. The first four pints were to he; the last five were to she. The ER people had already changed the paper work.

Oh, don’t know it, but I must drive by from Cleveland to Schwenksville, for 35 years.

For the Juke – ROCKABILLY!

My stars, ET. ;-)

Fucking amazing.

I was just a junior in high school. Can anyone do an EdwardTeller?

My city changed its name to Pom Wonderful….

…100+ on Tuesday …

How much more of the Canadian Permafrost is melting, releasing ungodly amounts of CO2 into the World’s atmosphere…!? *gah*

When I grow up, I wanna be ET !

Can anyone do an EdwardTeller?

Is that something you do on a snowboard or skateboard?

I’d pay good money to read ET’s autobiography….

Oh man, you KNOW I mean snowshoes.

Aloha, ET…! How’s Wasilla doing these days with Caribou Barbie mostly absent…?! ;-)

We’re having a sunny weekend, mostly. 79 on Friday, 60 yesterday, 67 today. Put in the garden.

Aloha, TG…! Mahaloes…! ;-)

I have more great Carl Perkins where that came from. Carl was simply badder than most of his contemporaries including Elvis and Chuck. Carl made a lot of what the other two did possible.

And Jerry Lee Lewis was a much better rocker than Elvis….

In a full, Fair Disclosure Act… I was almost 3 in the Summer of ’69…! ;-)

Edit: Bryan would’ve been all of 10…! ;-)

hiya CE — hope all’s well out east tonight

No! Is that really true?

I rehearsed this morning with a brass quintet I started back in 1996. I haven’t played with them except as a sub since about 2005. Too busy with stuff in Anchorage at UAA. They’re still going, though. Playing next weekend for the 80th birthday of one of my favorite people. We’ll be playing at the Hatcher Pass Lodge.

I’ll be playing Taps tomorrow here. It is the Mat-Su Valley Veterans’ Wall of Honor.

Rain, rain, and more rain. Hey! The hosta garden looks great!

Okay, peeps, we got a youngun here. Watch your language….

Picking away at it. If only Palin would go away, all the AK bloggers would have more time…

Oh you pups! Kisses for all, I’m leaving for sleepland. See you on the morrow.

*cough* … me an’ CT were born in the same year …

My greatest memory of ’69 was that my weewee could hit the ceiling if I stood on the Bunk Bed … of course, that never happened !

Mahalo Nui Loa, ET…! I truly appreciate all your efforts towards all the Vets…! I salute ya, Sir…! *g*

Sweet Dreams, Chris…! *g*

I salute you too, CT.

Truly special ! Passing both of you my finest Single Malt …

Oh, you kids.

Are we telling what we were doing in the summer of ’69? Tonight? Well, now I can’t sleep. I just finished making slads and shit for tomorrow and i’m kinda ramped up. It’s hot in FL. What else is new? our guv is still a douche. Didn’t really think of it as anything special. It’s so damn hot here, it’s felt like summer since Eastertime. I digress. What’s 0on my mind? My kids. How much I love them all. How i wish I was a better dad. How I( wish I could go back 10-12 years and do over but know I can’t damnit. And baseball.

Just grabbed the Bushmills for you, Petro. Picked up a 1.75 liter bottle last month for $35.00. Here’s to Canadian Vets!

*heh* So have ya finally fired your Publicist…? ;-)

Um, no. This is an adult place. If children are allowed then they are but I’m not changing how I write because someone I didn’t invite and isn’t really appropriate here might get little spots on their retinas from an occasional cussing.

Hear ! Hear !

Our Vets deserve the very best we can provide for them !

Natch … know anyone to do that for me ;-)

Gee, I’m 40-18 now, so I was smoking a lot of pot in ’69.

Aloha, BFL…! Might I add that the Trades do keep the Isles nicely cooled…? ;-)

And, added bonus points, we have a real ‘Progressive’ for a Guv…! ;-)

Paradise is blooming…!

LOL … LS !

Shit, Guy, what the fuck is Jane gonna do if she starts getting fuckin angry emails from their parents.

Goddamn, FDL will lose its Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval!

LS…! What a delite to see ya at LLN…! Maybe, not for ya, tho…? ;-)

(((Petro)))

Hahaha…its a lovely night!

Goddamn, FDL will lose its Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval!

*heh* As if it ever did have it with certain untimely, ‘Blow Jobs’ and all…! ;-)

Oh boo hoo. Jane can tell the parents the same thing *I* tell them: Don’t let your kids in age-inappropriate venues.

hey nahant

Hey CT … can I get Marcy’s BJ quote on a membership T-Shirt ?

I’ll check back tomorrow … gotta get some Zzzzzz’s … G’nite all !

Aloha, man. Paradise, you say? Can’t beat that.

Evening all, thank you CTuttle, love this song. Said the woman moving into the Next Phase of her life. Because this song is full of wonderful reasons to let go of the past and embrace the New Era.

See! The kid overheard somebody say blow job!. Quick, somebody tell him that just means blowing bubbles with a Popeye bubble pipe….

A few years back, at one of the comments here, Jane wrote something like – I’m paraphrasing all the way into double negative territory – “Never avoid writing the word ‘fuck’ when you might regret not having done so later.”

Pleasant Dreams, Petro…! *g*

Fuck is for grownups….

Oh Snap…! 8-P

Aloha, openhope…! How’s the Olympia’s doing tonite…? *g*

And Suzanne got to the “fork” in the road a while back, and reverted to “fuck.”

And ’69? I was eleven. Youngest of 4. sat through interesting dinner discussions every night. Had 19 and 17 year old brothyers. So the war was a topic. They were against it. From those dinner table discussions and all the papers and magazines we had at home, i was better informed than most 11 year olds 9and some of my uncles). All that shit had been going on… the ..what?… upheaval?… whatever. But ’69…. I remember going to my cousin’s in Newark (the next town). They lived in a small apartment. Just to hang out with him.. he was the same age. Even though it was a small apartment, there was room for me because his two brothers had gone to some concert upstate.

*heh* I thought when she’d reached the ‘fork’ in the road, she’d took it…! ;-)

You see, FDL kids, fuck is another word for fork, the utensil you use to eat pie with….

You can choose to shadow the truth, or you can choose a Socialist Homeschool approach to “newly acquired information to be dealt with”. Deal with it. And explain the realities of social sex while explaining the basics of a blow job. And the need to not break trust with your partner. Just as the key to dog training is to not break trut with your dog.
We are sexual creatures, at risk of being played by Nature to Reproduce at Exactly the same point in your life when you should avoid the Bitches’ Trap. When you are young, vibrant, bored and so lonely for real love. I actually think that that combination is an animal inbred hormonal trigger. A fake out emotion that leads to perpetuating the species. ?
But, I have lots of time to think while cultivating my garden. Doesn’t mean that every thought is valid.

I’m from the George Carlin School. It’s a word. Just a word. Use it when appropriate. No reason not to. Kids around? I used to go to games at Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium as a kid. Heard “fuck” and alot of other shit..stuff… didn’t corrupt me. Pot corrupted me. Or maybe alcohol. Or maybe both. Or maybe rock & roll. Or maybe all of them. But not language, that’s for sure.

That’s the best part of getting old. Sometimes you prefer LLNFDL to fucking….

…when you should avoid the Bitches’ Trap.

Uh-oh…! There’s such a beast…? ;-)

Yes, CT, and they first go after your wanker; then your piggy bank….

*heh* Thanks, I’m sooo Naive in my Youth…! ;-)

lotsa things can corrupt you. major party politics is one of the gateway drugs.

I’m finally startin’ to wind down. Jeez. At least I can sleep in. I’m gonna go and watch some baseball highlights and fall asleep. You guys are interesting people. Glad I stopped by.

For sure. But not language.

Mahalo for dropping by, BFL…! Always a pleasure…! ;-)

God, Did Palin look like a fuckin’ clown today or what? That she acted like a fuckin’ clown is a given. What a ……I’ve been through so many adjectives, I may have just go back to some of the stand-bys. Like asshole. I know, I know. It’s lazy. But i’m sleepy.

Pleasure is mine, CT. Enjoy Paradise!

*heh* And I’m so addicted as a Poly Sci/History double major…! ;-)

I do relish the fact that Caribou Barbie couldn’t even handle one semester at my Alma Mater, here in Hilo…! ;-)

My dad heard me tell my obnoxious older brother to fuck off when I was eleven; so he sat me down and urgently explained to me what the fuck word meant. I didn’t believe him. I thought it was something he got out of a Dr. Seuss book….

Hilarious.

Too many “brown people” for her, according to her dad.

Congrats on the coveted Century Mark, BFL…! ;-)

Is Teddy around? He “liked” sarah palin on facebook. How come? So he could go there and tell her she’s dumb as dogshit?

Yay!!!! I threatened to go to bed, awhile ago but i knew we were getting close so i stuck around. OK. That’s bullshit. truth is, i didn’t know it was coveted.

Did everything all of a sudden speed up? Or is it just the return of spring/summer?

Well… D’uh…! ;-)

Aloha, applepie…! What a delight to see ya at LLN…! ;-)

You know how you want to cover your ears when you hear the screeching violins of a 6th grade orchestra?

That’s what Palin sounds like to me….

Headache everytime I hear her lame stream media schtick….

Aloha CT! How’s life?

Those pesky Taiwanese animators deconstruct Palin again.

she needs to go where the sun never, ever shines, CT.

And alot of people just LOVE her. Not as many as used to, I don’t think. But still…… Yeah, kow what does it for me? That sqeaking styrofoam sometimes makes.

*heh* Last I’d heard Scottsdale has alot of Sunshine tho…! ;-)

Them rolling thunder vets felt she was a distraction from what they were there for….

Over and out for me.

What’s LLNLN got to do with having sex? It’s not a one or the other thing in the world of the unemployed.
Us serfs, we can fuck whenever the mood hits.
Unlike the upper class, the appointment makers.
Unlike when we had jobs and a different life structure.
And were more interested in sex. Not as much “survival” energy being spent. In other words, the serious sexual downer thought, “What’s going to happen now?”.
Oh, yeah. :]

Aloha, BFL…! ;-)

The Robert is off to his alternative universe as well.

Night pups & puppies….

She was.

Oh yeah!

Us serfs, we can fuck whenever the mood hits.

Damn Skippy…! One of our few remaining ‘freedoms’…! ;-)

She can’t win but she paves the way for the next republican prez.

Aloha, robert…! *g*

Sarah the Baptist? how so?

Btw, Ya’ll, the latest descriptor for my future grandson, at 27 weeks, is a head of Cauliflower…! ;-)

She forces them to show their fangs more, and makes that seem normal (her crazed wackiness.) Bachmann is her spawn, no?

Ah yes, we live in interesting times.
However, being a born “person of interest” due to my father’s job, I think my duty is to continue being a Person Of Interest. As all the posters and commenters on FDL have committed to being.
There’s a scary thought I had a few days ago that is already moving into a thought owned by more people than Just Me.
We’re scheduling with our local recreation style public park to get a permit for a Tax Dodgers Teach-In. I’m hoping we can get some time at the end of August. I’m going to register for the permit as a private citizen.
Oh, please doG,..let the U.S.Constitution still hold firm in Washington State.
If anyone knows of a National Rally going on in August, I’d love to know the date before Tuesday, when I book the park.

Well, My Birthday is in Late August…! Whether or not that constitutes a ‘National Holiday’ is up for grabs…! ;-)

Depends, how big do you want to get with that date? lol!

*heh* The bigger the better, I say…! Incidently, my Grandson is due on it too…! ;-)

I’m so glad I didn’t see Sarah Palin riding with the Thundering Eagles. Dick Cheney’s Thundering Eagles, lest we forget. Oops, Rolling Thunder, ?,.. anyway, real Americans on fucking motorcycles,right?
When my daughter and I celebrated her womanhood by marching in the gigantic Women’s Right March in D.C. {2004?] the Hired Bikers motorcycles came through as a semi threatening presence. Unless, you used to ride with bikers for kicks back in the Day. Then they looked pretty fuckin’ wobbly.
The Vietnam POW’s were executed due to our State Department political game. They’re dead. The information is out there. It’s a nightmare tragedy the US Politicians inflicted.
Strapping Sarah onto a Harley ain’t shit.

Well, I shall bid ya’ll another fond adieu…! Mahalo for the great conversations tonite…! *g*

I hope to see ya’ll tomorrow nite…! Aloha Oe…!

Sweet dreams, CTuttle. Thank you for your good energies.
And goodnight.

got that right.

Thank you.
Peace laughter strength, EdwardTeller.
goodnight

Oh, you’re heading into the next stage of anticipation. How exciting!
For decent human beings; babies stop us from being total assholes. Make us reconnect to our JOY.
