Your mix for 4-15-15 is so entertaining!
Give these shows a listen, kids. You won't be sorry.
Picture is from the page with the shows listed.

This should have been posted way earlier today. It was placed in the wrong thread, though.

The almond trees in back of the cemetery are quite young. In looking for this place on a Doppler Radar Map it is brown, just planted with almond slips.
The pioneers had no such views. It was plains, plains, and more plains planted with wheat and barley.
This is some of the richest soil in the San Joaquin, so it's no wonder folks settled here in Plainsburg. That town's population was probably larger than Merced's once.
The Santa Fe RR came through in about 1896, I think, and the folks drifted over thataway four miles and settled in Le Grand, where there is a depot still, but it's derelict.Our friend Gene is quite good at naming the year in which a particular building was erected, based on certain features common to the era--the shape of the windows, the age of the glass (it runs and gets warped), and the size of eaves, for example.
This was a very educational trip for me.
Thanks again, Gene!

Time is fleet underfoot and gone one kid the other get's driven and it is only a quick mile,to the school! the kidz to day are want for a word here , SPOILED is not a word that even comes into the picture. ( this as per the topic on the front page that spoils that page as to be about Bikes and is not rising to the great under reported youth of climbing showing the dirt poor kid that makes good pulling hard that I and you have never heard of,
As for my kidzes they both don't get to go to school as I wish they would , the
Goly:
GET UP TO EARLY, Takes the bus that is no good the Bus is where all sorts of things, Dubious firsts of young teen ness , yikes my choice would be to drive her cross town 5miles? but no it is the boy and a walking distance and a 'good' neighborhood but again at a sad way of looking at this world we think:
the length is not the issue it is the random acts that seem to occur, like limes disease,
these trerrible things keep happening to bright and (again wishewashy word) 'GOOD Kids'. This paranoia runs in to the dreams of the collective.

this thread has padded walls
we the underdogs.
i like to come in here
and throw myself sideways
it'z a silent tragedy.
i don't make no drama
as my doom unfolds in my lap.
no wheezing as i fight for life,
only a blue-lipped half smile.

Well then I will not just edit like a Pansy NOT A PANSY
I will continue with this trite sh it though as to the PHarA zooticalling it self gud for mankind:
This was a good ?? company once upon a time ,
If you Invested a dime in'83 in sheering Plow, the way it is said because the word 'pronounced' is to hard to spell if you invested a dime in '83 and cashed out in '09, when the whole shebang was bought by Merc for $4.1 Billion>>> the pay out would have been . . .
well, now i will try to figure that out but safe to say you would be better off thanif you had owned Lucent/nextel. . .one time the Lauded AT &T.
I say this as to wonder out loud after the one and Only
Trace Readington Mason III
who after a long drinking spell from fifteen(15) to thirty-eigh(38)t, sobered up, after pushing a Hartford cop, and doing a six in, with three forgiven,Traded up for a half- way house and high-way pickup stick in orange jumper, He was well invested In Merc and traded much away for the Lucent dog!
If only he had bought a house from me or my house from me or any house he would not be dying of drink on his moms couch and dreaming of climbing rope free up to five ten in nineteen eightys. . . (1980's)
numbers(#) are better when you use 'em :

Down went the sun
Should have sold
Prime real estate has oil, boys
It takes a gold mine to own a gold mine
Ask poor Pathfinder of the Mariposa
Gents, he shoulda stayed in the hills
He never belonged in Washin'ton
Too many dicks
Benton Mills was named for the wife
Mt. Bullion was named for the father-in-law
Pathfinder became Fremont, CA

Pretty nice weather today

It's hard rock minin' now
If you miss your water you can't find your gold

Now that Brian Deese, Senior Advisor to the President, The White House and I are corresponding, I thought I'd share a little bit.
Here is where Herr Obama will be heading for the first time tomorrow.
The Everglades
Acadia National Park
Does Obama pack, or is he a knife man? And we're not 'bout Skeeter Davis here.
Struck the courthouse out of shape.
Real estate, yeah, but a man can't live there. Can a dog? Don't know, I'll ask Ruby, she'll probably just yelp and shake my hand, "no".

At least the Kingston Trio and the Everly Brothers could get along even if the police and Rodney King (and everybody else?) couldn't.
Live and let live, even share your guitar riffs. What came first, the chicken-little or the gator?

[Click to View YouTube Video]As I have stated elsewhere, I owned no guns in the past.
I DO, however, appreciate their place in our lives as a means of keeping the peace, not necessarily as a means of settling disputes except as a very last resort.
Men like Chris W. Cocks don't care what I think, though. I don't know WHAT they are thinking.
These fellows seem to think they are untouchable, apparently.
It was good to see this Yahoo "expose" of how these DICKS go about their business. And it is a business, so why give them any more tax advantages?
This is not the Gun Debate Sandbox, but it is my soapbox.
If my ethics were as warped as theirs, the NRA would be footing the bill for the Rim fire.

I heard a stupid rumor that the rockfall that wiped the Old Coulterville Road turn-off at the Cookie Cliff was caused by echoing gunfire.
That's enough. What with the Telegraph fire, the Rim fire, and all these Marines at home on the gun range, it's too Smokey in here.
Time to lighten up with Patsy.[Click to View YouTube Video]
So ever'body grab a partner and dosey-do!
So what brought all this down like a rockfall at Squamish? I went to the VA Clinic for my appt. with Doc Love and he's telling me I'm NOT going in for hernia surgery anytime soon. I have had another bout of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) which was the reason for my legs swelling as they did.
He mentioned nothing of the sort the last visit. As long as the hernia is not painful, I will survive. He is far more concerned with my staying alive, I suppose, than being able to be active.
I have also been told by Doc Love that I should not go to altitudes for any length of time, as it risks my life. He put the kibosh on my attending the City of Rocks get-together. Sad, but I'll get over it.
It's the way the old boulder tumbles, to use a sport-trundling term.
Traditional trundlers pretend they aim, but they don't, you see.
I will not deny myself the Yosemite Facelift, but I may use discretion and only attend for half a week this year, to please the Doc.
He tells me that I'm going on two new meds, too. And he's ordered support stockings for me as well. It seems I have in my calves a condition known as venous stasis, which is defined as "congestion and slowing of circulation in veins due to blockage by either obstruction or high pressure in the venous system, usually best seen in the feet and legs."
VS is a risk factor for forming blood clots in veins (venous thrombosis), as with the deep veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis or DVT).
If you saw the condition of the skin on my legs, you might remark on it. It resembles tree bark, to me. I need a lanolin-based lotion to be applied after showering when the skin is still damp. He's ordered something along that line for me to try, as well.
I'm exercising judgement in my old age like I never did when younger. I simply want to stick around to enjoy my friends: Gnome's continued outraged banter, raised middle digit and all; zBrown's moderating influence and humor; Gypsy's photos; Throwpie's commentary; the occasional drop-in by others here on The Flames; Supertopo in all its guises (entertainment, education, message board, rants, etc.); and neebee's painting and amiability.
Weege, do we have enough padding here? I can find some more. I just got three sofa cushions, each six inches thick by @ 24" on a side, from an old sofa someone left on the fifth floor landing. I'm trying to accommodate everyone, see. And you are special, being both dead and alive.
By the way, arrogance becomes you.
I think the ammo box is empty. Time to collect the brass and sell it off.

The desk clerk/receptionist at the VA Clinic, a good man and a real white-hat, has a silly photo posted of "Tim's Desk" which has Gunny Hartman's picture on it.
It triggered all this shyte.
I managed to eat two of the donuts next to the coffee urn (it was a slow Monday out there, hardly anyone waiting) and then snatched another for the road. They were excellent!
I managed the ride out and back on the bike in about twenty minutes, just about the same time as if I'd taken a city bus, so I got my low-impact aerobic workout this morning.
This is a perfect day, temperature-wise, only in the mid-seventies. And the rest of the week promises to be the same.
Rockfall at the Cookie Cliff.

You could do worse than plant this around your domicile.
Fairly drought-resistant.

You can always wash your hands. I'm moving some of the big ones (dark green) in front to the back and replacing them with the smaller (light green variety).
Too lazy to take a photo. Interesting that all the Google images show the light green ones as much bigger than mine. Who'd a thought 'garlic envy".
Well maybe not all. They are very ez to grow and don't require much water. Bugz don't like them, presumably because of the smell.
