    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!

of Oreos that I can think of are the Red Velvet, Reeses, and yes... the S'mores!! I brought a package of those to a birthday party on Sunday. They went over fairly well. I only had one and didn't have milk with it so I didn't get to fully experience it, but of what I tasted, yum! They carry different selections in different stores including some that I haven't tried - the lemon and the mint. I might not have tried the golden birthday cake ones but I've tried the golden ones and the birthday cake ones and am to understand that the golden birthday cake ones are the best. They make mini original ones that come in a snack bag that can be pretty entertaining :) Also I HAVE BEEN DRINKING WATER and it is a miracle! Thank you <3 Aside from that... I feel like I should be drinking coffee when I catch up here with you all, but it's actually my bed time... which means it's time for Rrrgrr and Tonytone to rise and shine :D

Excuse me please, experienced heads: As far as shows... If one were to go to one or the other show in Santa Clara... might it as well be either? If one were to sit one out in Chicago... it would be Friday me thinks? Is this an intuition thing, or is there a sciency kind of an art to it? xoxo Stella

hi c- i think all the shows will be great but if i was forced to choose, i'd go with friday in SC. If i had to skip one in chicago it would be friday. just my 2 cents. gob ps- pls check your pm

The law of inertia dictates that you should always go to the first show of the run so that you will then resist a change in motion and find that you ended up going to all shows in the run. It's a sciency thing but there's a little bit of an art to pulling it off. Good luck!

another night down and day to go.... as promised, coffee is on...Colombian blend... it's a wee bit strong but after a night in the mines, it is much needed.... 8 more hours, and it'll be time to tie one on! question begs, should it be a full or half Windsor... Knot joking here.... BTW, quite the thread we had going... think I'll crank the tunes... Silver threads and golden needles couldn't mend this heart of mine.... and Stella, agree with that son of a Bee...Friday if you need to choose.... And I didn't forget you #88.... Goal and an assist....love me some Pat Kane....

Someone described SC as the working man's shows. Not true. Unless you show up on Friday. The magic can appear on any night and they'll all be unique in their own special way. So hit 'em all if you can. And if you can't, don't sweat it. Whichever one(s) you choose will be great.

Haha BeeLawBlog. You speak my language. Well... I have a little more ruminating to do. I want to do it all, and I just don't always get what I want. Which at first is really annoying, let me tell you... There's also the joy of helping others get what they want even if I can't. Times like these that selfish part of my heart says "why can't you just be a little bit of a scalper like all those 'heads' on ebay with one sob story or another." Well Chandra (I say to myself) because that would take all the wind out of your sails for the nights you *can* be there and well. There's no magic in that. And that's what this is all about. .,-'*'-,.<3.,-'*'-,. a little (or a lot of) magic. I am moving on to bigger guns of fund raising. I'm going to do the sell-my-stuff routine like I did in my twenties for lesser goals. I can stand to lighten the load though. My newest medium-term goal involves a road and a bike and there's no room for all that much on that trip. ;) I will keep you guys posted on details of the sale. Some of you might want some of that (media) magic, and there's lots to go around. Love Stella

(I first thought the lyric was "only love can feel.") And there's lots of feels here in the sister pad - we just finished watching The Other One on Netflix. Sissy wasn't having it, but I said "just the first five minutes. If you don't like it, we can change it." Well. We just watched the last of it. The bus is literally "coming around again" for her, after she was literally invited on to Phil's tour bus last month, but had one of the (only 3 or so) legitimate reasons not to hop on then and there. Great way to end the day... ended up picking up a spare night shift at the mines, so a good day it was, and soon it's time for zzzz. On that note... zzz.

Some come to make it just one more day. TGIF (thank gob it's Friday) 4 weeks, 1 day, and 14 hours until Santa Clara. Folks, we are officially a lunar month plus 2 hours to the beginning of the first show! Calibrate your sun dials and chart the stars. 5 weeks and 12 hours until Chicago. The lords and ladies of this cracked court of Sunshine Daydreamers will bring this carnival to the Fountain and fill our cups (and empty them TOO). Patch those sails and shine those rails!
