    I don't need no doctor

    Actually, I do. I like to keep in touch, and make sure my creaking body hasn't got anything too seriously wrong with it. But I also like word "iatrogenic" which indicates that you get more unwell from seeing the doctor than you would if you had stayed at home. The idea that doctors spread unhealth can be developed to include the education system that is responsible for closing people's minds, and the social care system that it responsible for maintaining social problems rather than eradicating them.
    High drama at the footy last night, with England's captain, the Roy of the Rovers like Harry Kane, missing that penalty, which led to England being knocked out. What started out as a football match ended up being more like a Greek tragedy - a great man with a fatal flaw and all that.

    I have loved Rust In Peace for years, but have never ventured beyond that (not including a few tracks on MTV.) (Remember when MTV had Headbangers Ball? Yo MTV Raps? MUSIC? Sigh...)

    Anyway, So Far So Good is my first venture. Youthanasia is next at your suggestion Vguy.

    Dave Mustaine...seems a little scary.

    I don't know if any of you have been to the Gorge, but I insisted on getting in line early for the second show. I saw that line of the even lawn area above the floor the first night and wanted it. And got it. And we got a helluva reward. Fuck yeah.
    Edit. Definitely not front row. But in the sweet spot.

    Went to a Golden Knights game last night. OT winner Chicken Dinner.
    They started this glow in the dark thing. Pretty cool. What's not cool, is the pre-orders re; sweaters don't roll out until early Jan when the orders were in early November. They have the money, yet don't have the product. Season ticket holders are like, "WTF?"
    I got a glow in the dark towel though.
    Being up close applies to hockey as well. Yeah, it's neat, but the glass warps the perspective. Give me 18 rows up. Or upper bowl. Can see the plays form from up there. Good shit.
    Re; looking behind you at shows. Can be interesting, especially if one is tripping a bit. Micro-dosed at the Knights game. The chatter behind us was funny as fuck.

    Never look back, nitecat...

    Something might be gaining on ya... Actually, I never understood that saying. It's like the line, "I never go to the doctor, he might find something wrong with me." I mean, if something might be gaining on you, you SHOULD look back and that'll probably get yer dogs whirling like in the cartoons to escape whatever it is. If it's not physical, then it's in your head and you'll deal with it no matter your preference.

    Proudfoot -- the Nazca lines! One theory, of course, is that it was a signal/landing pad for extraterrestrials, which is a wee bit practical for my money. I think of them as being created by locals to attract anyone who could see 'em, which pretty much means outer space travellers. So I think they're aspirational/intentional. The mystery is that constructing them, engineering them, surveying straight lines for thousands of yards, took a lot of advanced knowledge and an incredible amount of work for what might have been, probably was, an abstract idea. Nothing technical of that nature that accomplished, indigenous peoples couldn't do 5,000 years ago. Modern humans have been around at least 40,000 years with Einsteins and Rembrandts like today. It's just that few civilizations ever did something analogous. The pyramids, for instance, were monuments to specific pharoahs who were treated as gods on earth -- that's pretty tangible. Also, they were public works that gave purpose and maybe a few bowls of gruel to the rank-and-file. That is, if one of those ten ton blocks didn't accidentally turn you into peanut butter and jelly. How many "Smithers" went down when the limestone slid? The Nazca lines seem much safer; but maybe there are human bones mixed in with the chalk, eh?

    Reading The Dylan Tapes (2022), which presents ~30 transcriptions of taped interviews Anthony Scaduto did for his 1971 biography, then left in his basement when died. The widow edited. Highly recommended look at the formative as well as transitional Bob.

    Up front with my buddies

    Some time in 1988, my friend Glenn suggested that we leave the seats and join him and his friends on the floor. That began my happiest moments down in front with 20 of my friends, perhaps 3-4 tarps from the stage at the Kaiser, Oakland Coliseum, or SF Civic. We were close enough to see the band, yet far away enough to hear the stacks. We had it down-there were the runners, which I count myself as one, there were the mules, who carried in everyone's packs including the runners, of course, and there were the back-up, who came in a little later and helped hold the space. Each runner had a blanket, so if one got down in front before another, he/she could lay it down to claim our space. During set break, we took turns going out so there were always folks holding the spot. There were many times at the Oakland Coliseum, where I felt like I was in the band's living room, unless I turned around and looked at all the people behind me.

Your collection probably needs the Fleetwood Mac ‘Worlwide Live’ unofficial Box.
10 CD’s for $40.
8 Fleetwood Mac CD’s ranging from 1968 at the Carousel to 1990, along with a Stevie solo and a Lindsey solo.
Sounds pretty good. The only show that I already had was the 75 show. FM/pre-FM sources.
I figured that for $4/CD I should check it out.

I popped in the giants stadium 7/12, and it gets me every time. The whole first set like HIAB, loser, and TOS. the band was firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry and Brent with that tinkling keyboard is so sweet. Being there for most of the shows makes me bias. Just had to mention it. Back to dap 44. Great show.

Another one. Yikes! It's everywhere now.
And not a mask in sight.
Take it easy PF.
My local friend took a week. His wife like 10 days.
And they were just ready to get their bi-valent (Omicron+Corona).
I went and found the bi-valent (still scarce here) right after that.
Full effect around third week after booster, so about now for me.
But we are still doing masks in crowded stores since we have some COPD.
Best wishes and cheers

I purchased Dave's Picks 44, and it arrived as scheduled. The outer mailing box was punctured, and when I opened it, little pieces of plastic starting falling out. The CD case was broken. When I opened that, I discovered that CD3 was chipped and cracked. Today I listened to CD1 and discovered that it was defective. Tennessee Jed > Promised Land does not play. Anyone else have this problem? I have not listened to CD2 yet. I contacted customer service, and I learned that there were no replacement CDs available. Defective merchandise can be returned for a full refund. I am hoping that someone would be willing to email me digital copies of those songs that I am missing so that I can at least have the complete show. As I said, songs 1-7 on CD1 are fine. Songs 8>9 are defective. I haven't tried playing CD2, and CD3 is no good at all. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you!

Send a PM to MaryE.

In case you haven't sent a PM before: To send a PM, if you are logged in, on the upper right of the screen are your account options, cleck here, select messages and you can probably figure out how to send a PM from here. either that or fumble through customer service. They can probably pull something better than a refund off..??

Edit: Ooops.... Proudfoot beat me to this by a couple hours. I didn't see his response before I replied. Apparently, he and his dog have been eating mushroom chocolates all day and have developed super human powers as evident by their lightening fast and accurate response.

My dog Sarge, the brindle bull Mastiff had cancer, and was put down tonight. 14 years old. He was a loyal companion. "He's gone."

Condolences Carlo13.

I'm pretty certain that Sarge was very happy to have had you around with him for 14 special years. You took good care of him and now he has an opportunity to rest. You provided space in this world for him and that is a special love that was returned.

Stay strong and stay positive.

Carlo - Sorry to hear you had to put to sleep your beloved dog companion Sarge. Such a tough loss.

Sorry to hear about your loss Carlo, losing a pet is very sad.

Putting down a faithful companion may be the hardest thing you'll ever do in this life. This from an animal person who put down his 20-yr-old cat earlier this year. The day-to-day intimate and often subconscious connection is nearly unbreakable. And yet... mercy requires courage and acceptance. This will be hard in the days ahead. I survived by focusing on the blessing and cosmic luck of the years together and the realization, which does not come easy, that "there's nothing you can hold for very long," thanks Robert Hunter.

You did good for fourteen years and your departed buddy would wish you peace. As do we.

Condolences Carlo. So sorry Sarge's glorious 14 year run with you had to end. How lucky you both have been! As hard as it is to put down our four-legged companions when the time comes, they count on us to do the right thing to the very end. My 12 year old brindle Mastiff mix Annie is recovering from knee surgery, and I know her day will come sooner than later. I'll shed tears, but know she's counting on me. It's sad that dogs' and cats' lives are so much shorter than ours, but they sure do pack a lot into their time with us. Onward

I have had pets (dogs & cats) since 1965. It occurred to me years ago, that when I sign up to take a new animal (I call them my children, as I have no human children), we are implicitly signing up for an unknown time period of joy, and also, some days of grief & sadness. To me, this is still a good deal, but it makes the heartbreak no less painful or intense. I don't ever want to live without the unconditional love of a cat or dog, so I go in knowing the deal. I believe my life is always better with the love of a quadruped.

So, to Carlo, VGUY and everyone else who has lost a "child" recently, you have my total empathy and sympathy.
Carlo, as long as you remember Sarge, he's never really totally gone.
My 2 are 13 (redhead) and 7 (tuxedo) so 1 may go soon or not, but one piece of advice that was given to me was: "always allow 6 months to grieve before getting a new one".
By the way, I have not always taken this advice, but it does make sense to me.
