Alligator leather is quite nice.

It was just announced at the Sports Book that the NBA has suspended the season as 1 player has come down with CoVid. Now there's a disaster!
Oh no Mr. Bill!

Appears to me, on the whole, there's a lot of animals that don't take too kindly to humans. I wouldn't be fielding bets if all the animals were to vote: humans, stay or go? The talking heads on

the human news channels are working to spin the results before the vote is tallied, I'm told

It's roundball season 14 months a year

I was just given two complimentary tickets for a small seat show with Duke Robillard and Castro Coleman for Friday night. I have no idea who these people are but who am I to argue? I just said Thank You.

Sue’s signature 350SH Ric goes for a premium. Only 250 were made as I recall. I’ve always liked the sound of that instrument.

The guitar or her voice?

Computer boffup days feel like a Chinese fire drill. Like today.

The bird's eye lowdown on this caper is

The keyboardy thing on my tabletety thing has been dying for some while. Not wholly unsurprising given that it, like its owner, has a lot of miles. Many adventures recorded here through this thing (you notice even pictures of lights on your computer use real electricity) than I can rightly recall. Now on this tabletety thing with an external keyboard propped up on its keyboard while

while the desktop I spec'd way beyond my needs at the time and built myself gets a new monitor. Found one I was certain I'd be happy with, what with a webcam and all, until it arrived. Defective, RMA, they're out of stock, I get a refund so

So shipping the monitor back and purchased a different webcam 23 inch monitor for when I begin the dreary tasks of bringing the computer up for the first time in three or four years because

Because it's probably them alligators

What a lot of running around for naught today
but at least the tabletety thing is going the final distance

God, I love these technical terms. Gets me all excited.

Paraphrasing Milton Friedman: In the long run, clearing out the deadwood is a good thing.

Paraphrasing John Maynard Keynes: But, in the long run, we’re all dead.

Both are correct but after we conquer Carona, the world economy will be stronger. The short term issue is trying to deal with the many displacements that will inevitably happen. That is where we need leaders who can simultaneously think in short and long term modes.

Where're we gonna find 'em?

Be glad alligator gar fish don't fly and you're not in their flight path

...and doubly glad alligator gar fish are not on the Christmas dinner table in any culture I'm aware of ....

Gators like them-anytime.

If you like jump blues, you'll love Robillard!

Is this too bold?

"Eat everything with four legs except the table" is the joke I recall. Or, "I made enough shrimp and grits for six people or one Cajun". A vaguely related joke comes to mind: "Why should you always go fishing with two Southern Baptists?" If you take only one, he'll drink all your beer.

I'm told in Iowa you can buy brain sandwiches at the state fair.

 

[beans-on-toast]

Headcheese is on my list of never eat that. No brains or anything else from the head.

 

[BargeOn]

Burnt toast? No, Cajun bread.

Mountain or prairie oysters, something else on the do not eat list.

They taste like veal, unsurprisingly. My friend Claire harvested rocky mountain oysters in Cheyenne. Her SO says he holds that awareness at all times.

That's actually one of the less weird things you can get here. How about deep-fried Coca-Cola? yes, seriously.

No surprise there. FL State fair has a vendor that sells deep-fried butter.(not good) There was another with deep-fried cream cheese.(Very good)

Snake, frog, alligator, rabbit, quail, and turtle all taste like chicken. It’s a good thing that RMO’s taste like veal. There has to be some variety.
