    Flying Monkeys
    Glad to be of service in solving the mystery. I was actually drinking some of that brew last night, for the first time, had never seen it before. I took one look at the label and started laughing...and we launched into this big Wizard of Oz didn't-the-flying-monkeys-scare-the-pants-off-you-when-you-were-a-kid jag. (They scare the pants off me to this day). But Johnman's right, I don't know what that monkey is doing in the wheatfield, looking sinister as flying monkeys are wont to do. No hippies in sight, but it looks like there's a flock of flyers in the background circling around SOMETHING. I'll need to drink some more to get to the bottom of it...the bottle, that is.

    Eureka! You have solved the mystery of why the flying monkeys have been scarce lately! (slaps forehead) They've gone into brewing beer, and then when there's enough stock on hand they'll start delivering again.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

I've reported the problem to Jonathan, though of course it's Sunday. As to being able to log on from one computer but not another, I'm as mystified as you are. What happens when you try to log on?

I read in the online Santa Rosa, California Press Democrat that Mickey Hart's Mass Drums played at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park today. There is an interview with him in the paper. It was part of the Green Apple Festival and free valet bike parking was supplied.Listen for the drums to continue thru the night.

Well, I type in my username & password etc.. the screen flashes (to what should say log in successful ) & there's my name under online users, but login/sign up is also showing. I can't post a comment or the like. Then I try a few more times, just to see inkowurider about 50 times, so I give up in defeat, as I'm seeing posts that I'm all over the place... I'm now sure it has nothing to do with deadnet, which is good. Hells Bells!

Marye I found this.... Keyboardist Danny Federici, who for four decades played alongside rock star Bruce Springsteen as part of the E Street Band and helped define his rollicking sound, has died of melanoma. He was 58. RIP Danny

The new chat room is not functioning at this point in time. To put it in layman's terms: it's FUBAR. Or you could say it's broken, it's malfunctioning, it's not happenin', it's ruined, it's busted, it's kaput, it's dead in a NOT grateful way, it's conked out, it's crashed, it's quit workin', it's not usable...Capiche?

I think the GD have done pretty much the same thing, just ask the Rhino company... And I believe they did it again a couple of days ago... I have a feeling there's a nice sized tax write-off somewhere in all that press conference hoopla... YMMV

I thought it would be very cool ... well never mind it was cool a few minutes ago. So with the chatroom down on the staging site, does this mean it is 'bout to reappear here on the regular site. Carefull G-mom, the junk you sell could end up on Antique Road and appraised at a cool million, or not.
