    I think if you start a "blog" it will allow you to post photos to the blog. Not sure yet on dedicated photo page... We're movin from da dus to a "techno-house". Geo, does the livingroom have a fireplace? @rrrgrrr glad you enjoyed the show last night. Props to the boys. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Summer's thunder time of year, The sound of music in my ears. Distant bells, New mown grass smells so sweet. By the river holding hands, Roll me up and lay me down. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears. And if you sit, Don't make a sound. Pick your feet up off the ground. And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange, Sing to me, sing to me. When that fat old sun in the sky is falling, Summer evening birds are calling. Children's laughter in my ears, The last sunlight disappears.

    @Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
    Stones at Ralph Wilson Stadium last night.. Quite entertaining....more like a Broadway show, choreographed.... Can't help but think there was something behind the curtain.... Backing tracks ala ELO or Millie Vanilli The show was too damn perfect.... Back in the 70's they were garage band sloppy, not last night. Interesting this zip code tour set has a running time of 2 hours and 10 minutes.... Every show 2 hours and 10 minutes, not 9 not 11.... but I digress.... Glad I got to see them one more time, Mick for a 71 yo has the body of Twiggy....and a lot of energy... IMO the night belonged to Charley Watts....the man can still bring it.... Now on to other matters.... Some folks trust to reason Others trust to might I don't trust to nothing But I know it come out right Say it once again now Oh I hope you understand When it's done and over Lord, a man is just a man Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Some folks look for answers Others look for fights Some folks up in treetops Just look to see the sights I can tell your future Look what's in your hand But I can't stop for nothing I'm just playing in the band Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Standing on a tower World at my command You just keep a turning While I'm playing in the band If a man among you Got no sin upon his hand Let him cast a stone at me For playing in the band Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land Playing Playing in the band Daybreak Daybreak on the land

    Once again my friend, a spot-on post. I'm as much to blame as anyone, especially given Geo's generosity to fund the SD.com URL. Maybe it's the navigation, maybe it's the UI, but I could use a little schooling on say, how to get straight to the blogs, post & read, or, how to download & upload shared pics. Anyone care to take a swag at a user manual/SD.com for dummies documentation?

    Our Basic Problem: The tools don't match the function
    The Sunshine Daydreamers are alive and well. The Sunshine Daydreamers remain electrified by what happened in Chicago and want to continue to share the experience. The tools we are using to get that done, however, are showing their weaknesses. The flaws on the email side are apparent: the stream of consciousness, reply all activity can be exhilarating when there is a hot topic, but that is better suited to a chat room function, and so last week we had several more people withdraw from the email list in frustration. The Dead.net forum has obvious shortcomings as well, principally that its only organization is chronological: if there had been a new Pearl of the Day several days ago from Meister Geo, I would only find it by wading back through pages of song lyrics; and then I would only be hoping to find something because there is no possibility to check if there is a new post from a particular individual. It would seem to we need to all take a step forward, as one, to the SunshineDaydreamers.com site that was so generously organized for us. There is a blog section that can have thematic organization (so that the discussion last week about which covers were played would not be spread over four email threads (none of the Subjects of which mentioned playlists nor covers)). I have not seen enough posting to know for sure, but it seems possible that one can approach that forum and check to see who has made a new post, and then make a choice whether to have a look at the 196 posts by one person or the 3 posts from someone else. Yes, there is a password, but we all had passwords on Dead.net where we started out, so that can't really be much of an obstacle. Just sayin people, we need to channel this gusher of love and enthusiasm; got to make sure its built to last.

Well. I don't want to speed up the wheel, but I'm not gonna lie, between the daily grind and the anticipation, it would be cool if we were in Chicago already... quite a bind, and a little confusing if I try to grasp it. I think I'll just let it go and go DRINK SOME WATER Tami. Thank you sis, for the tip ;) Also the moon is starting to show her face again, so things will be smoothing out again, if any of you were wondering why the wheels have felt so wonky lately :)

"...sounds which began as mere noise, like tom-toms and thundering gongs, savage, fanatical, ritual, end by arriving at the purest music." Yes! This is from Dr. Faustus by Thomas Mann. He goes on to describe an artistic work that had the “urge to reveal in the language of music the most hidden things, the beast in man as well as his most sublime stirrings”.

Happy weekend all Coffee's ready, just the way I do it, like an oil-worker's boot dipped in storm water runoff. Taking the better half on an overnight date to see Garrison Keillor do his Prairie Home Companion show at Wolf Trap. Shakedown scene to include Powder Milk Biscuits and ketchup! Promised her I would not mention the Dead for 48hrs, the woman needs a respite from my madness.

Good morning all... As our esteemed dus briving coffee cranking and radio dial twirling captain is off on an adventure, I'll take a quick hand at the wheel...turn up the bass you say? Why sure! Over that away you'll see the amber waves of grain, back to your left you might see if you are looking closely some purple mountain majesties, up above are those spacious skies and just in front are the fruited plains...pretty country isn't it? Let's honor those who gave their lives for our country, this weekend especially, but always keep their spirit alive in our hearts. We salute you, we appreciate you and we lift a glass in your honor! Now let's have some of that hash-slinging, lyric-dropping, free-wheeling banter, as we continue the journey already in progress... Cheerio!

So glad we look out for each other on our cosmic climb to Chicago...great choice of coffee...the wavy gravy rainbow blend is interesting....thought for a minute I saw Faye Wray but then I happened upon my spectacles.... Giving thanks for our great land, those who chose to defend it and those who were forced to do so.... Funny how we as a nation often take these things for granted and tomorrow is not just another one of those Monday days off.... Think I'll take a seat over by that big guy in the monkey suit, hey buddy will ya pass me a banana? Goes good with the donuts and coffee....thanks for the time away General Geo.... Watch out for that tree! Hey Boo Boo, Magilla over here just said "I know"....(disaffectedly)

Dear Chicago FTW, I have received my itinerary for FTW. All your arrows and circles and exclamation points suggest I will be somewhere and everywhere at all times. The FTW weekend promises to be completely epic. Thank you Billy for the invitation. I have received it and thank you Devils Friend for the book. As I romp around this room I see Tami, and fontsman, and rrrrrgrrrr, geo, and stella, and the Doktor, Dire, the mayor, and every Daydreamer there ever was; same as it ever was. Everyone has their Buzzzzz onnnnn. Water flowing underground. Ya just gotta buzz-around. I am high-steppin' into Sweet Home Chicago on Thursday. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. I'm on a mission from Gob. Thank you Chicago FTW for providing me sleep time in the schedule 3 of the 4 nights I am in town. I will believe it when I sleep it! I meet the Queen at noon for the Daydreamer fancy hat contest. New contest? I have the perfect prize. Buzzzzzzz onnnnnnnnn!

Boo Boo, do you have Tops supermarkets in Rachacha? Reese's oreos are a staple in da Buff Tops, never had the brownie, but the S'moreos just got released...S'mores Oreos...eat them up yum.... Finally, at the newBee....dont know if you looked in the mirror lately grrrrrllllll but it certainly looks like your buzzin' buddy misses Jerry or needs an antidepressant or somethin'....adderal perhaps?...at least compared to Totes' dancin'fool of a Bumble... and thanks for the musical suggestion....let me tune the dial just exactly perfect....no.....little more bass...now ahhhhhhh...thats it... just sing along with Mr. Mayor and follow the buzzin' bee.... Life is too short, so love the one you got 'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot Never start no static, I just get it off my chest Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest Take a small example, take a t-t-t-t-tip from me Take all of your money, give it all to charity.... Lovin' is What I Got.... Now, I ask you...isn't that just sublime ;-)

Corporate office is in Roc town, I will look there, I neglected to mention the smores, did you find the black and tan? went to pick up a quart and it was gone! grabbed a stockboy and he tells me it is discontinued, not by manufacturer, but by Danny the W. Had him clean out the back for 5 quarts, I would bring to pic-a-nic, but the ice cream doesn't travel well.
