Might have to start a pool how many pages I’ll be behind on my late September India trip.

There's a little more to it than that. My wife worked for big oil until retirement and my mother's uncle owned an oil company before merging it with Ashland. (He even wrote a book on how the gov makes things far worse.) During WWII FRD made him one of the five regional heads over the national supply, so he was not fool. I assure you there's more to it than the talking points. I've seen the blame the oil companies game played countless times while having some knowledge of the other side. The one few know or understand. Easy target because people doing it and liking it have no clue how it works and it feeds an anger. It's not as simple as looking at raw income (often called "profit") numbers. Do they do stupid things? Yep. I could mention a lot. But not to blame on this one by a long shot. Way too many other factors involved.

Quiz: What sector had increased its costs more than any other?





Big higher education. By hundreds of percent since the 1970s. Same is true for K-12. And we have less to show for it. Hospitals may be close.

Damn! I was gonna guess mid 60s Gibsons.

I wonder what's going on past the nut. Glare?

I've come to the realization that the only way I'm gonna get one of these:

is to do this(sorta):

 

[BklynKen]

Not sure I've shared this, but this site/app is absolutely insane at how well it can separate tracks. Isolate a bass track or eliminate one so you can play along with the song.

Same bass player from Supergrass, Mick Quinn, now also plays with Swervedriver.

 

[GBassNorth]

I can't say I ever felt compelled to play bass like that before.

Maybe you haven’t had an obnoxious guitar player standing behind you telling you to turn down.

There's a little more to it than that….

When I was in school I was a big supporter of higher education. The higher I got the more tolerable education became.

Interesting how terms change over the years. When I(confirmed Grumpy Olde Phart)was in high school, 'high' meant inebriated.

And in our band the obnoxious guitarist is on the opposite side of the 'stage', past the drummer. And still says I'm too loud(I'm not). The other guitar man doesn't say spit(sp?).

A Red Bird I used to own.........

Also,

"She's got legs!"

They get plenty of blame, too.

That's what I assumed he meant!

Interesting. Almost makes me wanna get a 'smartphone'.
Almost.

Supergrass with a Thunderbird through a Hiwatt.

Didn't know they had reformed. I saw them in 2008, Micky Quinn played his usual Ibanez Blazer then.
Great band. The fourth album "Life On Other Planets" is my favourite.

Red basses? Here's mine.

It is. It would be better with the case of which there is no mention. But what is going on above the nut?

Dave. Now is your chance. You’re never getting mine.
