I will bump it up one more with the rather simple query. Are there liftlines at facelift? If so, what is the average wait? If you get this far, what are the max and min weights? Don't bug me when I workin'.

They used dynamite on the moraine at El Cap to let the river flow.
Somebody was watchin'.Amid all the roar of the blast and the rush of Merced water goin' past,
Who heard the rocks falling from the vault of the North American Cavern?
And who heard them hit the talus as their smashin' slaughter took untold thousands to ride the Pohono winds?
It's what I think of when I meadow-gaze, not the newest solo craze.
Time laps at the mind like...a time-lapse photo.
Quick, sit there while I set up the pod, check the light meter, create a verse or two out of thin light air, then focus, Dubai check, and say, "Say, 'Cheese!'?"
A nightmarish sentence to have created, but stemming from the simple fact that there was too much dammed water in the Merced for humans with white skins, who arrogantly thought they'd outwet, outwit, outfox the Terrible Mother in the long run.
And so began the streaming consciousness which I share with my rock brothers and meadow sitters united in cosmic concentration on the past, the day, and tomorrow, not really wanting tomorrow, but trying to stay in the moment and losing ground to the flood all the dam time...

Can't leave that brandy alone.
I kinda share that with Batso.
Sittin' in our Black Cave.
Listenin' to Batso rave.
Doin' some ravin' with Cowboy
And Millis
And watchin' the Rev
As he whipped up a meal
All the time wonderin'
Whatever about whomever
And hatin' to have to play chess
Cuz ya can't plan ahead
Always haunted by
Obsessed by
The PAST.

Mixing well but hard as hell

I'm mock-mock-mockin' on heaven's door.
edit: Like to suggest this for after-reefer excitement.
Play the Clapton video and watch the Will Rogers rope tricks at the same time. Use the "View original message" dealie-bob. But not till after the event has become history.

It's Negra Modelo Especial tonight.
Here's the deal on timing, case you want to go out and be you for a bit.
It says here the sunset's at 6:43 in Merced. I'm here. Figure it out and come back when ya feel like you. Or sumthin.
I'm steppin' out to shoot the sunset. One shot, if I plan it and it better work because the battery is pretty much out of juice and I seem to have lost my recharger on the trip to Yosemite, maybe on the YARTS.
SHET NIVER FECKING UNDS!

I find it a little bit ironic that this thread started on the final extension date of income tax filing and 3 days after John Denver (who IMO has gotten a bit of a bad rap) passed on. The infamous plane crash of 1997?

Mancini's first defense, against former world champion Ernesto España, went smoothly with a Mancini knockout win in the 6th round.
His next defense would change both his life and the face of boxing: On November 13, 1982, a 21-year-old Mancini met 23-year-old South Korean challenger Duk Koo Kim. Kim had to go through the process of losing several pounds immediately before the fight to make the weight. The title bout, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, was televised live at 1pm PST on CBS Sports. It was, according to many observers, a fight filled with action, but Mancini had an easy time hitting Kim during the 14 rounds the fight lasted. Kim suffered brain injuries that led to his death four days later. The week after his death, the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine showed Mancini and Kim battling, under the title "Tragedy in the Ring."
Mancini went to the funeral in South Korea and he fell into a deep depression afterwards. He has said that the hardest moments came when people approached him and asked if he was the boxer who "killed" Duk Koo Kim. Mancini went through a period of reflection, as he blamed himself for Kim's death. In addition, Kim's mother committed suicide four months after the fight, and the bout's referee, Richard Green, killed himself in July 1983.
As a result of this bout, the WBC took steps to shorten its title bouts to a maximum of 12 rounds. The WBA and WBO followed in 1988, and the IBF in 1989.--Wikipedia

Well I did it again. Typed in my post and then lost it.
That's it, I quit posting on the internet (after this one).
I'm working on making smoke signals.
