    Wake of the flood
    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.

    '93 Flood
    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...

    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!

Well, I think I finally figured out the programs I need to use to make a crisp image to make a better Buzz for CHI. That just sounds so right. This is such a nice family. Pass that this way. Goodnight John-Boy.

Klang - Arrived at San Francisco airport today. It's the standard for travel. All food vendors are organic. Solar arrays on the roof of the terminal. Future is now. No diesel bus fumes here. Give up the wheel and get in the cockpit.

Gotta hear those Guineas Clank, If I'm gonna get to Fennario! Working mad overtime to make it happen, Oh but it will happen, Just need that perfect set of Santa Clara's with a view to pop up for my friend, and I can put all of this "Up all night searching the Interwebs nonsense" to bed. I will still keep searching out Chicago's when I have free time. I hope someone jumped on the one I posted last night. Good Morning RRRgggRRR and all of my fellow intrepid travelers out there in cyberspace. Totem, I can't wait to meet "Buzz". I did have a nice pair of King of The Hill Boxer's to add to the pole,..Oh well! Gotta go, coffee's on and My "Dang narrow Urethra" is calling. ( Also King of The Hill) "Damn It Bobby"

My Favorite from That album: "Ventilator Blues" When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake, Heart is bursting and you butt's gonna break. Your woman's cussing, you can hear her scream, You feel like murder in the first degree. Ain't nobody slowing down no way, Ev'rybody's stepping on their accelerator, Don't matter where you are, Ev'rybody's gonna need a ventilator. When you're trapped and circled with no second chances, Your code of living is your gun in hand. We can't be browed by beating, we can't be cowed by words, Messed by cheating, ain't gonna ever learn. Ev'rybody walking 'round, Ev'rybody trying to step on their Creator. Don't matter where you are, ev'rybody, ev'rybody gonna Need some kind of ventilator, some kind of ventilator. What you gonna do about it, what you gonna do? What you conna do about it, what you gonna do? Gonna fight it, gonna fight it?

with lunch, it isnt as good as when the fruit is in season, but frozen ain't bad after this winter,I'm thinking the '87 show was Hollander, also torn down, with Good Rats opening. When the rat dude started banging on a garbage can full of rubber rats and tossing them to the crowd, crowd throws back rats and then all kinds of stuff, drove the rats offstage pretty quick....

Ditto and well said: "Don't feel bad if you don't understand half of what's going on in here it's all good cause it's not so much what you hear but what you feel." I might add it's also not so much what you read, either but certainly what you feel. Can the Sunshine Daydreamers borrow that for our website?
