Happy Birthday!

Just got the new Nick Cave on MP3's, need to listen, might throw on my headphones at work, haven't done that in more than a month....

RIP Prince Buster, Ska music pioneer..... https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/sep/08/prince-buster-obituary-ska-musica-jamiaca

One of my favorite shows was a combo of the Pixies and Sugarcubes. The latter opened, but they could have headlined as well, both groups were fantastically entertaining.

Mmmm....Cramps

That's awesome.....I haven't heard any of the recent models, but got to hear the Kipod (v1 I think) in San Francisco some years back driven by Moon separates. You could tell something special was going on, and these weren't even run for 50 hours yet.....

Brexit.....it prematurely ages pasty's.....

HQPlayer is likely in my future, been reading about it a bit, thanks for the post Tyler.

Follow-up visit in Boston for Andrew and his heart condition. Best news possible: "no risk" for cardiac death, not recommending any procedures, and not necessary to follow up unless symptoms get much worse (which is doubtful). MAYBE periodic - annual or even less frequent - EKG's but that's more to see if the condition goes away on its own over time. Resumed our vacation in Southern Maine, Andrew celebrated with a DQ Blizzard and an entire small pizza. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I think you called it Doug. Per Apex site (my highlight): Does this all mean it's not fully balanced? Thinking so.....

From FB, stupid but I could not hold back the chuckle.

Trees are made of wood.

Nice video Antonio! RIP Toots.....

Happy Birthday!!

Define "bonus points"

I think you're spot on Steve. My father-in-law didn't seem to like animals, but my wife tells me that their dog they got when she was young used to gravitate a lot to him. As time went on and she grew old and passed, he couldn't even tell my wife on the phone (she was at college), he was too choked up. Animals can be truly amazing in their sensing of caring people.....even if those people don't know it!

This is a possibility, though doctor was somewhat doubtful right now, given age and no other symptoms. But we did have bloodwork done (on both cats), we'll see what the results are soon.

Warning: graphic pet shit (literally). So, both cats are having "issues" these days. One is longer-term, but so far not concerning, just REAL annoying (extra soft stools, outside the litterbox sometimes). Got some meds from the vet to try and resolve. Just starting 2 days ago, the second one started meowing more and with a slight howling sound, you could tell he was uncomfortable; I thought constipated. Some spitting up, and leaving little liquid drops of crap ALL around the fucking house (Karen and I were nuts, cleaning up after him). So he had the second of two visits to the vet tonight. Wonderful doctor inspects him, agrees that he may be constipated, offers a few things to try.... ...so my cat had an enema tonight. Got home, segregated this one from the main part of our house with a 3+ foot high TV box. Both cats had separate litter and food. I come downstairs, my son is there looking at the box. And I see the cat in the kitchen..... "Dude, why'd you let the cat in, didn't you see the section was closed off....?" "Dad, i didn't touch it...he was in the kitchen when I came down...." Oh, great. But lo and behold, he just let loose a large dump in the litter we set up for the other cat! He also seemed to be relieved, and he jumped up to his favorite window sill to get brushed, purring like (we hope) his old self. So fingers crossed he's OK now, no more spotting or accidents. And who knew....a friggin' kitty enema......
