If you let the sugar water in a hummingbird feeder ferment you get drunk birds. I just changed it for fresh and the war is on. I have had up to 5 little warriors battling over this feeder. Very territorial.
Animals and birds like getting drunk. Some even know to wait till the fruit ferments.
One of my bands used to cover Don't Dream it's Over, and also Something So Strong by them. Great, under-appreciated band.Difficult to cover such an iconic song... -But this was really very well done, and very enjoyable!
-Much applause!!!
I was in the studio and then in rehearsals all day. Someone asked me to record lead vocals on one of his songs... man, nothing is more humbling than trying to do now what I used to do easily back in the day.
Pro tip - do not let your singing voice languish for the better part of two decades if you ever expect to use it again.

A fitting conclusion to the weekend, did my hangout Sunday with these ladies
Super in-awe at their gracious invitations

LOL! Yes, I am old.
It was more about the amusing proximity of the thread titles than any particular person.
But hey, these things happen.

This entire "old" thing crept up on me so slowly that it went unnoticed for several decades

ETA: child number 3 applied for, and received, an AARP card. She was very proud of it. She was 6. She still has it.

Adult beverage security cards everyone Saturday at Dead & Company. Winners receive a purple wristband and are sent to the Head of the Class. A can of beer is 10 spacebucks paid by plastic. The vendor pops the top and hands it to me. Yum, IPA on a August evening.
Getting inside the venue to reach the adult beverage vendors inside means proof of vaccination or negative test within the last 48 hours. Winners receive a polka dot wristband and proceed to the metal detector.
Flash my winner's card from three osteopathic procedures and am waved through the metal detector. It goes off as expected, and I'm sent along to present my barcode ticket displayed on the smrtphn. A can of beer is called for as "adult beverage security cards everyone Saturday at Dead & Company..."
Living is rich here in the future.
but will someone turn off the effects loop already
we get it

Yow! Such a rockin' bassist/lead vocalist! And her bass is as tall as, or taller than, she is!!
And here's 6 ft+ me loving my short scale and wincing when I think about picking up my long scales.
