Phin power from Wisconsin — if I can get it through the snowbanks...

Random thought for the day ...

Beer is made from grain — usually barley, corn, or wheat — and hops. Whiskey is generally made from corn, rye, or other grains. Vodka is made from potatoes. Rum is made from sugar cane. Brandy is made from wine, which itself is made from grapes.

These are all plants ...

Like so many other things, 'Ugly Christmas Sweaters' have jumped the shark. What used to be the merely ironically ugly sweater that Aunt Eunice always wore has now become an industry where manufacturers are actually actively competing to design and create specifically ugly sweaters.

And frankly ...

As some of you pholks may or may not know Lynn has like 8 bird feeders in the back yard with a whole collection of various birds visiting regularly.
We got home after dinner out last night to find 3 birds dead on the ground. 2 blue jays & 1 ground dove. Neighbors have an outdoor barn cat ...

The one and only time I saw Jimmy live was at Alpine Valley in 2009 Ithe Summerzcool Tour), when the weather conspired against us. The colder-than-normal temps for the end of August, the wind from the northwest, the overcast sky, and the drizzle (which eventually turned into snow flurries!) that ...

Come on in, order up, and sit down and share your best "you had to be there" Buffett experience with us.
Per the management, we will not be charging for drinks today. Jimmy would have wanted it that way.

It's also top-of-the-page on the Yahoo news feed.
Glad I got to see him in concert, in person, at least once.

If there's a musical heaven, then you know they got one helluva band.

Stick with it, Moogy.
Just remember the lesson we learned as kids from this little guy ...

Slow but steady wins the race!

Edith will still have to wipe me though. :pirate:

Nonsense! Just a valid reason to put in a bidet. Maybe you can get one of those Japanese ones with all the options for warm water, a heated air blow dryer, and a finishing spray of finely-powdered cornstarch (it's biodegradable and better for you ...

We pause for a brief messge of public interest.

Happy, happy Fourth of July, indeed.

And remember, when you're shooting off your fireworks later tonight, if you didn't buy them from a guy with an eyepatch and only three fingers on one hand, you probably didn't get the good stuff ...

I had an appointment to donate blood this morning but my hemoglobin was too low so I couldn't donate. They told me to take a box of Girl Scout cookies anyway. They didn't have thin mints.

A whole BOX of Girl Scout cookies? When I used to donate blood, I was lucky to get a glass of 7-up and a ...

I know I could probably look through all the set-lists, etc., but I thought I'd just toss this out here for discussion/comment ...

Since "Margaritaville" became Jimmy's more-or-less defining song, has there ever been a concert at which he did NOT perform it?
How about about "Come Monday" , or ...

Hope someone sees this ...

Since the song became a hit for Jimmy, has there ever been a concert during which he did NOT perform some version of "Margaritaville"?

I'm more or less recovered from my escapade last year, so I'll ship some of the left-over Phin Power off your way...

Doing pretty good. I'm up on my feet and the walker and cane are distant memories. And with the weather getting warmer — except for about two weeks ago when we got a foot of snow on Sunday the 16th... which was almost all gone by the following Wednesday — it won't be long before I'm gingerly trying ...

Harry Belafonte — the "DAY‒O" guy, who was probably as responsible as anyone for bringing calypso music to the mainstream and undoubtedly was one of the first on the trail of Island Music that eventually led Jimmy to Margaritaville — passed away in New York on Tuesday the 25th. He was 96.

Sail on ...

Update (in case anyone is still interested).

I migrated from the hemi-walker to a regular cane (not one of the quad-based jobbies) back around the beginning of October, and by the end of that month I was starting to get around in public without the cane. Then, in early December, came the snows, so ...

Still ok. Home aid comes to wash me today. Believe me it's not sexy. :pirate:

Sounds like me when I was in the hospital with my busted leg.

One day, rather than just the sponge bath in bed, one of the nurses had me get into a shower chair on wheels and rolled me into the bathroom where I got a ...

On Sunday, at their home opener for the NFL season, the Washington Commanders — formerly the Washington Redskins, for those of you who haven't been keeping track of all the name changes in sports lately — resumed their position as the laughing stock of pro football when coffee cups/mugs in support ...

Nice you're doing well, Bill. I'm tech impaired and posting pics is the high-water mark I have achieved.
For the average person I can understand and accept that. But for over ten years my job was that of customer service representative for, over that period, three different major cellular ...
