DBA. Dilute, Brown, and non-Agouti, a strain of laboratory mice developed by C. C. Little. A Cal grad should know this, at a minimum. And how to get to the Co-Op.
A little goes a long ways, too, with DBA. They are prolific breeders.

I saw John F. play in Berkeley. Weird coincidence, he died at the same age as my father, who couldn't play an instrument, but did sing a lot. Then, John wasn't an attorney nor a judge and, obviously, he did not father me.
I had never looked into it, but John's life came to a very sad end.
BTW, that's a long way to drive in 3:12.
Until taking on the Finnish side of things, I was an incredible Scottish man myself. I only fell about 10 feet, but I was knocked unconscious. I don't know if I've got chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Hope I don't get a gun and shoot myself.
May have to move this over yonder, but another one of those blues

One of the best ever, I think.
There's a little Bing in everyone.

My first job when I matriculated at St. Mary's in 1966 was to help serve a dinner honoring Jimmy Durante, who was not present, but was a big donor to the college.
Durante was one of the good ones, a seemingly hard case with a heart of gold, really malleable and a soft touch. The praise that night was effusive and high-toned as only Christian Brothers and Jesuits are capable of encouraging, in my experience.
Secular priests differ in that they have to "sing for their supper" or wine, the Brothers just cruised into their dining room and started drinking what was produced in their winery. Well, many of them. No wonder Batso did his deal with them.

Fahey and Durante are both good Irish names.
Faith, are there any bad ones?
Tightrope may be one, but it mayn't be Irish atallatall.

Cheese it, Andy, I'm not serious. I'm way too cool. Hi, nita, speakin' of cool.
Now that's some Jinglin' Bells!
Our experience, Jeff's and mine and his wife's and our blues-playing Jay Wood, at A. P. Gianinni School in SF, was great. Fahey played after Sandy Bull.
And who the hell was he? Amadeo Pietro Giannini (May 6, 1870 – June 3, 1949), born in San Jose, California, was an American of Italian descent founder of Bank of America.
As for C. C. Little, little else is known besides this:

Nevermore Ravens than Corncrakes.

^ it is rumoured that that is how Jack acquired his nickname
mouse - just saw your email. It's sounds like maybe a memory issue. Have you tried rebooting the machine? Have you done anything new lately? Installed new software or anything like that?

From Berkeley to Fresno, just like this
Give it up for Duck Talk. If you can't talk the talk...
In 1961 Jimmy and Webster were called back to the San Joaquin Valley. They continued performing their show on KJEO-TV Channel 47 in Fresno, California throughout the 1960s. During this time, Jimmy and Webster also did TV shows in Salinas and Bakersfield, California flying their airplane from City to City for those shows.

Hey I just wanted and needed some myself.
I've never traveled the world.
There are more than Seven Seas.
Nobody sees but we all look, see.
Don't disagree.
You're a photographer.
Snap judgements are sometimes called for.
I really only wanted a good excuse to listen to the song.
And say hi to & Thanksee, neebee.

Enigma? Your best 5.8 in the lower valley. Introductory crack climb. Variety of finishes. Which way do I go, George? Which way do I go?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZOIRK8MKqk
Tilted Mitten. Hiya, been a loooong time. This was one climb I did with Randy...We bagged it one day when Jeff was convinced the day was shot by wet possibilities. He said he thought it was gonna rain and we said we'd take our chances. He got laid, we had no trouble with rain. It's another pleasant 5.8 with a very easy flat approach and you only need one rope, too, with a light rack.
Explore the area, it's a micro-climbit. Pharaoh's, Mummy's, Tut's , these all are similar shorties and not too hard, good choices for lazy bones. Sure, they're oldies, but they are good.
Kinda like the Beach Boys...
