  1. There has never been a more confusing foreign relations issue for me in my lifetime.  I have many Jewish friends, and many Muslim friends.  I just don't engage in the homeland discussions.  I can't see any clear solution.  Many devout Jews will claim complete ownership of that region dating back to Abraham, but that doesn't pass the sniff test, because there have always been a lot more people of other religions & ethnicities there.

    I do know this:  I wish they'd stop shooting each other.  What a shitshow.

    i've heard Blink too.  PJ would shock me but i'd obviously love it.

    Seems like they're really pushing this new release.  I wouldn't be surprised.

    It was 14 months old, that makes it about 8 in human years, so maybe not a puppy.  the paragraphs in the book never mention that it was attacking her children. 

    Please link that passage.

    And she keeps mentioning it was a "working dog."  But never says why they got it or what it worked at besides eating bullets.  Fox Terriers are technically bred to be "working dogs", but she never, ever talks about what it was supposed to be doing while apparently it was busy serial killing chickens and eating her children.

    I made that mistake, too -- it was a Wirehaired Pointer, which is presumably a hunting dog.  Not exactly the most common "working" role on a ranch, though.

  4. Did any parts of Austin get significant rain overnight?  The nearest LCRA gauge shows 0.11 inches for us in the last 12 hours, most of it just before sunrise.  

    Our neighbor has a big tree down.  I don't know if it was wind, lightning, or just normal age/disease.  I slept through everything.

  5. Seth Tiven (Dumptruck) is selling a few amps.  Looks like a couple of Vox AC30, a Marshall JMP Mk2 head, a Fender Super Reverb, a Fender Twin Reverb (blackface?)?  Austin only.  Let me know if you're interested and I can put you in touch.

    Sometimes I hate the Secret Service.

    The idea that Trump actually asked them to proceed to the Capitol is utterly laughable.

    I was halfway planning to fly out to San Diego that weekend to see Cracker

    Man, I absolutely love Cracker.  I wasn't the biggest CBV fan, but when Johnny Hickman joined up with David Lowery, sparks flew.  I've seen them a few times and they always bring it.

    Got a notification from Kevin McKinney that Soulhat is having another show 7/27 at Antone’s. A couple buddies of mine went to see them last year in Austin at another reunion deal. Loved every minute of it, apparently.

    Who's playing drums?
