Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

Yet to figure out how all the Russian patronymics work. Everyone has all kinds of names -vich and -ova and wow.

Fender will not be allowed to have the Bassman.

Will they ban feminine looking fonts?

A cough or two will send kids scattering when they don’t respect the six foot distance rule.

The history of the "feminine hand" of overly-flourished letterforms had its roots in a society where a lady of standing has the free time to devote to such frivolity. Opposed to the hired help, who weren't supposed to have the time to read for pleasure or write for creative expression. A scrivener's hand of the time was one that combined the speed of the Italian hand (italic), and legibility. Bartleby, the scrivener said "I prefer not to."

Good going!



The shelves for paper products in the grocery were being loaded this morning when I arrived, there was a big pile of empty folded shipping boxes on the floor yet the shelves were pretty much empty.

There was a grand total of four big packs like you got when I arrived. I got one, the other three were snagged before I left the aisle. This was 5 minutes after the store opened!

"Wipeout!"

Actually we're worried about pizza delivery. Here we have young people going house to house collecting money and touching people all over the town. Doesn't sound too safe to me. We'll stick with Tombstone, Red Baron, or DiGennero .....

Old people cough all the time. It does make people move though. The other day a woman used a tissue while in line at the cash, people flinched. Some got out of line.

The kids are defying all orders regarding Captain Trips. Remember when we were young we all felt invincible? Nothing's changed. Bunch of kids trashed the cops in Florida because the directives were ruining their 'spring break.' Spoiled brats.

Wheeze a lot, you'll have lotsa room.

In Portland one strip joint that had to close down the club started sending out talent as the delivery crew for their takeout food. True story.

Same in Oregon, but it definitely wasn't just kids. Bumper to bumper traffic all the way from Portland to the coast last weekend.

Mike Massé can’t tour now so he’s been live streaming on youtube every day. A talented artist. The next session will begin in around 20 minutes (3PM) for those interested.

Better to view if from youtube rather than here.
