That’s good to hear as I don’t like women who hate men. For that matter, I don’t particularly care for men that hate women. And now I think about it further, I just don’t like people who hate other people. 🙂

Missed the last 9 pages. I may go back and read them and I may not.

For all my saxophone lovers, this is a true #Smorgasbadafterdark classic. Not many songs represent the after dark like this one. Good luck to those that choose to listen.


What I did do is listen to the music video above. Let me save you some time. Just take a valium and skip the song. Should you decide to listen then make sure you have a valium, to calm your nerves, by the end of the song.

Sorry Chris. I forgot you were more of a mainstream Hot 100 kinda guy. Here you go brother. Since not all of us have Valium available.

Wow. I really love the colors. I also like summer flash storms. Here is a video of my favorite summer storm I had to run for cover when it came on unexpectedly.
there arent many of us girls in the reefing world for some reason but im definitely not a man hater! 😂
Neither am I. There are some folks I don't care to be around. But they are not necessarily all men. 😂

And I would never have finished my woodworking class if not for those helpful young men doing everything for me while I did nada. 😂 IMG_5007.jpeg

Some of them have black hair, some have brown. A few might be tall or short, and some may or may not be men. That's how I treat life too. Anyone can get the boot or the love. It all just depends on respect shown both ways.

I can't listen to them. Don't want to wake my hubby. I will check it out tomorrow.
The singer, Arthur Brown, sent my 4 year old a hand painted signed mask, and a hand written letter after I sent his site an email saying that my little guy (Aaron) was a fan of his songs, and loved the colors he wore on stage. Arthur's 84 years old so his hand writing was a bit shaky. It was super cool, and made a life long memory. This is his most popular song, he's a late 60s/early 70s OG.

For those of you who watched the short version of the hail. I hope you were able to listen to it. Darn stuff came down for 20 minutes.

And the truck. Well that is as far as our 3 dogs and my husband made it. Can't imagine how loud it was. We ran the length of 3 acres when the first stones hit the ground. No warning. He carried little Libby since her legs are so short.

That is a great memory to have. And very nice of him to make happen.
