When told of the cameras, a passing hiker recommended "flipping the script and providing an exhibit that will make most of the viewers feel inadequate". Don't know if that's out-of-bounds or not, but it did leave me laughing. :D

There were a lot of Lowell George tributes last month. Lowell was amazing. Its always fun to sing along with a Little Feat chorus.

Nice! Reminded me of Kerouac by Ken Kweder. Which then got me reminiscing about the Philly music scene. JDB was always a fun show. Nanette Mancini would crush it.

Canned Heat is amazing. They released a great album a year or two ago. That's longevity. Visited Albert Hall once when friend was playing there, drumming in a bluegrass band. Which is funny if you knew him. He's more likely to have Hed PE playing on the stereo than anything from Flatt &...

Del Valley Bluegrass Festival 2025 schedule shows The Del McCoury Band opening on Friday. :)

Regarding the soon to arrive gnats and deer flies. :( Have used the old-sticky-blue-solo-cup-on-top-of-the-cap-trick (as Maxwell Smart might say) with effective results. Then saw this clip-on-dragonfly for sale on the social feeds today. Looks slightly less ridiculous. Might give it a try...

If past experience is any indication... "IF" the DEP dropped this. There would be some signage alongside saying NO. So the SPP could enforce it if needed. More than likely itsa freelance effort. Similar to all the branches that were dragged across the designated bicycle trails several years...

Don't know how the tariffs will affect the price of car parts and the corresponding price of car insurance. But I can't imagine it being good. The recent price hikes make me wonder if the insurance company actuaries saw this coming. Been using Geico for over a decade. There were no problems and...

Classic rock w/ current relevance. "Everywhere a sign. Blocking out the scenery. Breaking my mind."

Don't remember any wildfires occurring this early in the year. At the end of March there's usually discussion of which sand roads are flooded or the forecasted flurries.

If you have the opportunity to see Post Modern Jukebox on their 2025 tour, do it. It's a good fun show. One of the featured singers in this song, Sara Niemietz, hosted live shows, just her and her guitar, every week during the pandemic from her house. Been a fan ever since.

Recently rediscovered this gem from William Shatner. I know it's wrong, but I love the line, "everybody hates a tourist".

Will be waiting to see the results of "talk off-line and maybe sharpen our pencils".
