This fellow was getting either:
a) Right with Jesus
or
b) Too much sun.
Be that as it may, that's a nice VW Minibus (or was it a Micro, will have to ask Arlo). Why it wasn't just a VW Bus is beyond me. Ours was named Rex, not Alice.
This is about 23 minutes, but how many times a decade do you listen to it? Arlo explains what it is about.

It all depends on how you look at it, I guess or

As the world turns, it turns out that basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are not the end of the line, even leaving aside melanoma.
There is also the potential of
Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon undifferentiated neuroendocrine
tumor, arising in skin mainly on sun-exposed areas.
At this point, do you go with Wilburys "End of the LIne" or G. Harrsion's "Here Comes the Sun"

Around the back of ALICE's, after ya get there--which is hard to do cuz it's around the back, too, and that's confusing to ANY body--yer gonna see the Bitch and Moan-Go To the Bounce-House Shack that Alice installed when the peace talks were just beginning in Paris. She thought that they might do better in a smaller venue--with fewer distractions and a ot less stress, but she was naive and didn't KNOW that both sides wanted to drag it out, but that's ANOTHER STORY--and when they got upset then they could go out and bounce it all out.
The idea was rejected by both sides so when the war dragged to a close, she moved on out to SF and set up on Skyline Blvd. Melanie Melonsugar told me this, so there are of course, missing pieces to the story.
Ashes, ashes, all fall down.
Are you OTAY, zBrown?
NO, it won't ruin Quizmas if it's bad sh#t.
As Dickens points out in the classic A Christmas CArol, and taking from that other classic, the Gallic Wars by jCsesar, and as JC Himself revealed, things come in threes, the important ones, anyway.
Past, present, future;
Belgae, Aquitani, and Gauls;
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
food, shelter, clothing;
NBC, ABC, CBS (when I was a boy);
football, basketball, baseball (if you are American);
me, you, them.
I guess a case could be made for vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.
The one thing we as a country need to fear, though, is the beard! Beginning with the Duck Commandos, ZZ Top, and Braun Freres, and being here now with Baba Ram Das, Father Time, and Mr. Natural, it's all about the beard 'round Christmas.
God himself has one, when He so ordains.
Meantime, the Santa imitators are more numerous than Elvis imitators because Elvis looked terrible in a beard. He settled for sideburns.
Merry Chistmas, Tacoids!

See? He's a boy who "grew up" (HA! Mr. Urbanity Jones hisself) tinkerin' so he turned out like he did, a climbing junkie stuck in overdrive, even after all these years.
He follows roads we'll never see at any time of day, on the ground, in the air, Dingus turns up everywhere.
Conyardo grew up tinkering and I presume John Salathe had a bent for steel, as well.
And that Wilson, crazy kid, who drove like the bat out of hell.
And Dolt, and Rhorer, and countless more,
The Lowes? And Frost? Locker!!!!!!!!!!? Bill Forrest?
Good company, Tennessee.
And the more I see of thee, the more my posts have more climbing content.
We can't have a content contest, though it has definite commercial potential. I'll just say your climbing is head and shoulders above my climbing. It doesn't mean squat, though.
It's not fun if I'm competing.
So, like Paul says in the Faux Good Epistles, "I will accessorize and you can call me Mal. Or Saul. Paul's good, of course. I like the nickname, Pratt, too. Doom is not in my glossary."
This, of course, was way later, after that fall off the boulder on the road to Damascus and became a saintly fou and a Jew for Christ.

Monkey Business / Am I An Airhead?
http://www.vevo.com/watch/monkey-business/am-i-an-airhead/CZZ870500208
Don't stick around, you'll just be wasting your time.
"He goes for the drivel drive and it'a a perfect left-handed finger roll."
The one which follows deserves a look as well.
Hulu / Vevo for ten days is less than a buck.
Orson Welles / F is For Fake
http://www.hulu.com/watch/223242?playlist_id=2115&asset_scope=movies
What's a lie? What's "real?"
All the world's a faker's stage.
BELIEVE IT...OR NOT!
"He does the head fake and drivel drives left--and it's another perfect lie up!"
Phylyp, as the "doyenne" of our little art thread, and one of our worthy practitioners, you might really like this one--Matisse, Modigliani, and a lot of mid-Twentieth C. art. I found it fascinating.

**//The secret sauce for me?
Desire.
And that desire fuels a need to remain (or return to) fit. And being fit enables the desire to go. And going puts me in a position to explore And exploring fuels the fire that burns within. And keeping the flames alight is what its all about. Even if its just nursing the pilot light through a cold and drafty night. Gotta keep it lit because restarting it is a motherf*#ker.
To me? Its all about getting myself to the base of a rock with the urge intact. There have been times when the journey TO the rock sufficed. I did not climb. Somehow, those lean meals weren't as satisfying.
But we build our lives and make our money and buy our things and study our craft and assemble our kits and make our journeys and hike through the woods and after all this seemingly endless friggin around?
We touch the stone. And then?
"Suddenly"... we're climbing.
And then it all makes sense. And then? We're climbers. New skin? Meet the old skin.
:)
At least that's the way its been for me these past 40 years. Ah she was my first love, climbing.
DMT //**
Thank you DMT. I was just telling another climber the other day the reason I must get back into shape after all this is because there is nothing you can do alone that feels better than being balanced on a ledge, with your body pressed from cheek to toe against the rock, being warmed and held safe by Mother Earth. The only thing that comes close is being high up, where the air is clearer, and as you fall asleep, looking up, you fall up into the stars. Those two sensations will keep me in the mountains and rocks as long as I can be there.
Thinking a lot about Doug today, sending lots of gratitude to the Universe for his love.
Amen.
So,thank you from both of us for that.

Since I only have hulu for ten days I'm trying to cram in some things I've meant to check out.
Jack of All Trades
Episode titled "Monkey Business"
http://www.hulu.com/watch/2664
I got to chasing the dance tune neebee wanted to know about.
After checkin' it out, Monkey Business on hulu, brought on a tide of goodies. This was among the drek on the hulu beach.
It's very ON THE ROAD. Secret agentry for the good King George III, seeking the temple of the WallaWallaBingBang and the Chango d'Or.
"What makes you think I can't play "Monkey in the Middle" for a day, Jack?"
It begins with an abseil into a sink-hole, too. And digresses from there.
"Oh, yeah, get that monkey!"

USPS rules!Checked in all proper.Lookie here, we got enough roaches, you guys better get docked so you don't keep me awake all night. HA! Seriously, if you wanna hang around Middle Earth, there are certain provisos. First, you need to be amputized like me. It so doesn't hurt. The knife is sharp and the board is disinfected. That's better. But there were thirteen of you. WTF?Ron Anderson decamped when he saw the knife. He got the hell out of here and booked up onto the Dihedral Wall. But I still nicked his tail.
I nearly cried when I saw my wife. I had to laugh instead.
Here's why.
In opening the package down in the lobby office, Liz had slipped off somewhere, maybe to check out these Poblas. I don't blame her at all.And later on, as I'm straightening the pack out, getting them to hang right, the knock at the door reveals Tammi, from the office, holding Liz!
Flash back to Facelift 2012 when Liz's snapshot was left in Yellow Pines and returned via post by Lady Pink! That's my Lizzie all over the place! And when Ron ran off, she did, too, and this is where she climbed up to.
If the computer monitor were paper, it would have damp spots on it from tears.
Takk.

neebee, this present is All-Time as far as I am concerned, the best ever.
Thank you for creating them "cookies" and the rest of you for being so cool.
I got Cool Friends.
And I got a goodie I'm working out with Santa, too.
Campfire songs for the celebration might run like this--
North Pole Cats, think they're better than South Pole,
North Pole Cats, been whinin' since they's kittens,
...And there's too many cats in Nashville.
Drei Gehörlose Mäuse (Three Deaf Mice) by the deaf composer Mousart.
Getting Unfriended
Having To Know You, being forced to "like" you,
Waiting on Facebook, for you to respond...
Just wait till Martha comes! I had to call her and SHE CANCELLED HER MEETS!
And she's bringing ROPER!
Stick around, or come back when ya can, friends.
