One ticket for the Steve Johnson and those BOBtones on the 20th at The Partisan, bought and paid for at will call.
Used to be a Mercedian. Now living in SoCal via NY.

Yes, folks, two mice from the same town--
While one's a musician, the other's a clown.

Thanks mfm. Those were my mom's. She used them if prompted.
Still trying to figure out why one photo comes out with the correct orientation and the other doesn't.

White Pocket in Utah.
https://www.visitutah.com/places-to-go/cities-and-towns/kanab/white-pocket/
In 1967 the movie Rough Night In Jericho was partially filmed in Kanab Canyon. Henry Wills, who was featured in a neebee post on FB, was the stunt coordinator. RNIJ was the only movie Dean Martin played the villain.
He was killed at the end by George Peppard, and the film has been voted as his fourth best role.
This is not a still from RNIJ.Kanab is one place where hooblie and I visited and stayed in overnight on our road trip in 2017.

hey there say, mouse...
wow, now that was very interesting... (i'm grabbing it all, though, from
the love of word-play, etc) (but, i did get what was going on)...
though, actually (hee hee, i DO like the word, 'actually' )...
it's a good 'focalizing spotlight' :)
and, i like the 'exact same' expression, (as, you can do a lot of extra detail work, with that phrase) ... when using 'exact' as to
mean exact concept, but not 'exact object' ... :)
(you knowwwwwwwwww... they left out 'you KNOW' as in the 'repetition version'
:))
thanks for sharing...

"Know what I mean?" has been my pet word peeve "like forever." Nawmean?
As if there is a suspicion on the speaker's part that he's talking to a stupid person who has no clue.
"Weak sauce" is another annoying phrase.
Have you heard of the prosodic cue* in conversing? It's when we state a fact and our voice rises at the end of the sentence making the statement a question?
*Root word "prosody."

Expulsion from Saint-Exupéry
expecting explosive
expatriated games
it left them somewhat ruffled
when you know they had to say
the spectacle of spectacular
bespectacled old spectators
expectorated expectorants
in mass quantities that day

You Know What They Say?
They always said it could never be done
They never tried to have any fun
Cracking a smile would break their face
They never brought any joy to the place
For their misery would leave them undone

From the Mouth of RJ McElroy
...and I’ll never be back
this way again
my friend
it’s all so dreamy since
I left that last place
I just want to get
to the next
whatever that was
please please please
just leave my thoughts to me
just let my thoughts be
oh please

SaythereSay-bB.
I put a roll away type bed on the floor in my mom's room and slept there for a couple years because she kept taking the oxygen out of her nose.
The changes in respiration would wake me up.
Why would someone do this? I don't know.
But I am trying to book it

Say again?
... long contended that Spring 1990 (3-14 to 3-19) contained the longest stretch in Grateful Dead history with out a repeat. 5 shows until a song was repeated, Playin' In The Band. They would finish the 5th show with only that repeated. The next night saw a bunch of repeated songs.

hey there say, mouse...
i know the 'principle' but not the 'term name' ...
is this 'word' then, only used when the
raised tone, makes a statement, into a question?
(what about other empasises, on statements??)
(not being mean, just curious and not ready to look it all, but,
hee hee, hoping you know, or, will check it out, before i do) :)
here is a flat statement (ALL EVEN)...
well, what do you know...
(as, in meaning-- how about that) ...
then:
well what do YOU know... (HEAVY EMPHASIS)
(which makes/invents this next statement) -- so you think YOU'RE so smart)
then, the 'tone raise' (which you mentioned, above in post)
i knew you ^knew^... (as in question-- i knew you ^KNEW^?)
(which could be an insinuating-question, meaning:
do you think i knew, that you KNEW about it/something/etc
OR--)
OTHERWISE, IT'D MEAN-- (yes, i did KNOW that you KNEW) ...
AHH, the 'plot' thickens...
(yep, it does)
ahhhh, the 'plot' ^thickens^?
(hmmm, or does it... yes, or no?)
hmmm, ahhh, the 'plot' THICKENS ... but only until page ten...
then, it just falls apart...
well, unless the 'plot' is an area of the garden, and then it
never did ANYTHING, as, it was never plowed, or, ploughed,
depending on where you grew up... ;)
say, two side notes here:
1-- in asl (sign language) they change the expression of the face,
to turn statements into questions...
(two ways to do this, depending on the question) ...
(so in a way, they got the 'tone' type stuff, too... but, uh,
without the spoken 'high rise' just the 'eyes' or, facial nudges, etc...
2-- then, the spanish...
(but here, as to the reading) ...
i used to wonder why spanish had question marks, on BOTH ends of the question...
now, i know, from having read so much...
if you do not show the question mark in front of the CERTAIN question, then,
the 'phrase can be read as a statement' *UNLESS THERE IS THE WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHERE, ETC TYPE STUFF...
(by the time you are done reading, and on to the NEXT sentences, you will you made a mistake, etc) ...
?es grande?
es grande.
MANY english question are set up, different, in those cases...
is it big?
it is big. (meaning, you would not say, in english: "is big."
you need the question mark, shown first, so you will read it correct,
TONE WISE' and the question mark is after, of course, to end the question, as it IS a question, after ALL ...
HOPE THIS HELPS, TOO, to explain:
Lasairfiona
Spanish doesn't have question words such as in the English question: Did you do it?
A way to directly translate that into Spanish is: ¿Lo hiciste? Did you do it?
If you take out the ¿?, you have a statement: Lo hiciste. You did it.
When speaking, you can inflect to show it is a question. In writing that is not possible and therefore you need the ¿?. And once you do it for one kind of question, you look silly if you don't do it for them all.
the above QUOTE, i just did a search for, to help other
understand better, in case they do not read spanish, and in case
i did not explain it smoothly, enough...
fum stuff, mouse...
i know you love these words funs, and plays...
happy good eve! to you!
(not the eve, will behave bad, or good-- but, that the eve,
WILL be enjoyable... )
as-- happy enjoyable eve, may sound like i am hoping that
someone named eve, will be enjoyable to be around...
however, i was a BAD(well, an incorrect) girl and did NOT use caps...
as, this is my habit from 'back in the day' when i USED
to constantly get 'kicked off line' from DIAL UP, AND:
DID NOT HAVE TIME to do caps, etc, ... :O :(
i know... no excuse now... just a habit that is 'still good and fast'
now, :)

hey there, say, zBrown... your 'say again' words, just reminded me:
OF THIS: there is, while seeking a 'repeat', when
we did not first hear-all:
*say what?
and,
**come again?
*while hoping, the other person will repeat them-self, and
NOT actually say-- 'what' ...
**while hoping, the other person will NOT, sarcastically ask-- "when?'
:)
