Rest in peace David Bowie... is there life on Mars? Truly a one of a kind performer and musician.

We drove from St Louis area to DFW on 12/27. We could see the high levels of the creeks and rivers along 55 and 44. With all the rain on 12/27 and 12/28, we were not surprised to hear of all that flooding. I haven't heard much since then in terms of clean up, etc. Prayers and best wishes to all those folks in tbe waters' path.

I was doing road work with the Dead and a few other bands back then and I recall the unbelievable flooding. It was amazing to see whole towns underwater. Stay safe and dry!

Thanks for your concern. Matt and I live in the city so our home is fine. The surrounding areas are bad for sure and the areas where we hike are inaccesible. This was historic flooding and a smaller river the Meramec had record breaking crest levels. Higher than the flood of 93'... It will be a large mess to clean up for sure. The good thing is now we know where not to move. It is heartbreaking for me to watch the flood footage. Seeing the highway 55 bridge that we cross to go hiking underwater was very unnerving. Hopefully the debris and water dont negatively effect the structure too much. There were houses floating down the river. Black muddy river, roll on forever...I dont care how deep or wide...

Has anyone heard how Matt and Holly fared in the flooding?

it's been a strange trip but not so long, it seems. i hope to see you all sometime in 2016.

Very well said, Mr. Rrrgrrrr and geoihavemyfingeronthepulseoftheuniversemeister! It's been a phenomenal last year and the Daydreamer experiment ended up being a resounding laboratory success. I had to skip the California swing of Dead & Co., but rumor has it that there will be more songs to fill the air next year! We might be able to fudge and say 51 years so far . . . . Hope to see some of you at the shows! Have a safe and healthy new year everybody.

All is quiet on New Year's DayA world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again --- even if only in spirit. I thought of you all and our grand adventure when we passed our Shady Grove hiking to the Field Museum earlier today. We're back here in the city for the holiday, but it's just not the same without you. A happy and prosperous New Year to all you lovely people!!

...it's all so spanking new...we hardly got the wrapping paper off the New Year, and already there's music in the air. Richie, ditto to your sentiments earlier. We all had such a grand adventure in 2015, as strangers stopped strangers...and you know the rest of THAT story. May your cup be full of what we shared this past year; May the melody of life find you dancing in your seats, in the aisles, and on the byways and highways of your path; May all of your pesky detours, chuck holes, speed traps and traffic jams that we all face in our journeys be short and sweet; And may the river continue to sing sweet songs to rock your soul. Here's to you and you and you, and fellow Sunshine Daydreamers everywhere: Ready or not, 2016, here we come. Le chaim!

RIP Natalie Cole.....
