    @July.....There were Days....
    Don't know bout you all, but these weeks are flying by... With each day that Kyle counts down, I am realizing the days between become fewer and fewer. Before we all know it, it will be 7/6/15 and this will be long gone... So Totes....count slower, ok? And to the rest of us....let us savor each other's virtual company but real friendships... Talkin with Tony yesterday...yeah we really do have a special group here,...something to be proud of.... Coffee is on, hot and fresh.... Big weekend here in the not so Great not so white and not quite as north as some here.... @Bobby69.... So glad you made it brother....settle down easy.... This is the place and this space is getting HOT! So let's get on with the show....

    Haha yes. There are so many fun strings in the ball of yarn that's my name here. and MKAV - there is a forum on here for people to commune about their brews. I think it's called what's in your fridge? Not that this isn't a fine place to speak of such things. Of course it is. It's a fine place. Period.

    all this talk of beer
    anyone have natty bo from Baltimore? (not natty lite but probably similar quality). friend just dropped off Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Commodore Perry IPA. wow! GLBC is the best unknown brewery IMHO. Yuengling...it is too bad it got chic. I always thought it was good everyday brew, reasonably priced. Not anymore...the pricing. still a decent brew but not cheap. looking forward to sipping a few with SDers in Chi in 73-ish days.

    the train
    I am really looking forward to that, and pics and stories is a great idea. Please do the same. I freeze under pressure but hopefully I can recall one or two good ones. Cards. Movies. Planning what to carry-on and what to leave down below. I'm going to find out what the storage situation is in coach.

    Hello all
    I finally found this forum,..it was a task for me,.. I'm severely sleep deprived and this Santa Clara Ticket fiasco has got me almost to the point that Klang was over Chicago. It's keeping me awake at night. I was supposed to see these shows with my Friend from Venezuela, He's in Texas now and as bummed as I am. I know I'm listed on the spreadsheet as not going, but it should say needs 2 tix for each night. but 1 is a start,...thanks for any and all help, I have you all in mind as well,.. been scouring cash or trade,...ebay,...etc...looking for any face value anywhere. If I score I will share the wealth as well. I'm in PA., and Ca. is a lot of travel without at least one ticket. preferably a saturday so I have time to look for a sunday while there, as well as a cheap flighht and shelter. Muchos Garcias!

Take off eh? That should explain lots. Rich, you sure you're a red blooded american?, you seem to know a lot about canadian culture.

Can we put rgggrrrrr at the wheel of the ship/car/bus/train ? Either one of those vehicles or all of them at once, I think he can handle it. I would feel all at once safer and immensely frightened (how do you say it a scary sort of safe) knowing that he could spin us out of Never Never land and over the rainbow and off to willow farm without missing a beat or without missing, 9, 11, or 7 beats depending. -- Tom

I'm just saying' rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr promised some sort of welcome AFTER I arrived. So I'm late, but at least I made it. No welcome whatsoever. What's a resigned and reinstated mayor supposed to think of this? (Too tedious to go back through previous posts unless someone points me to which page.)

Here is what you do: 1) Go to edit, insert passwod, and check the box "delete picture". Hit save; 2) Log out; leave the page totally, leave dead.net (I know, it hurts, but relax); 3) Log back in, note that there is no picture, you are merely a shadow of your former self; 4) Continue messing around, with no picture, do this for a day or so; 5) Go back to your account, log in and choose new picture. Hit save; That should get you your new/old avatar back. The point is that you have to let dead.net relax a couple of days after making a change, before hitting him with a new change. He is elderly and set in his ways, and he has to get used to the idea you messed with him. It'll be ok, honest. ciao- geofredpoobahmeister

I second that, rrrrrgrrrrr, and want to wish all SD'ers where applicable, a blessed Good Friday, and a joyous Passover or Easter. I'm on business travel next week out the the left coast (SFO) but as always, checking mail. BTW, rrrrrgrrrrr, I believe Totem is out of pocket for a few days on a camping trip. But it is 4/3 today and the first show is 7/3 so that's an easy one for us :-) Cheers everyone !!

Ah well - the rain subdues my appetite anyhow. The Mission offers shelter from the storm though and it's all so beautiful... gosh dang. By the time we have the table all set again, I'm sure my appetite will be raging. Until then... a cozy home it is.

Our beloved Mayor Klangstone has been detected, selected and elected on two occasions. He has also been corrected many times. He is the only mayor we have ever known. The infamous Rob Ford received honorable mention once or twice, but Mayor Klangstone was obviously far more colorful.
