I fixed the RSS feeds. I got spam. 100% correlation. So, the RSS feed that enables me to let the world know I’m wasting time writing for my own satisfaction, and pretending that someone wants to read it, also makes it possible for the cyber-world slimeballs to attempt to use my resources to spread their … Read more
We traveled “up north” over the holiday. Driving from one country cemetery to another, on an old two-track we saw a flash as a deer jumped off the road in front of us. Just ahead, in the road lay an new fawn. Papa came to a stop as the fawn struggled to it’s feet and … Read more
There has been some discussion recently about the instruments played by the US Navy Band, Country Current — Bluegrass Unit. We saw them in May, 2004 and I posted a couple of photographs. They aren’t the best, but they do show the instruments played by the group. (Yes, that’s Roy Lewis).

It would appear, from the comments on the FREEP site that plenty of people have opinions on the Promise, but few of them … Read more
Monday again. Thanks to help from all, the yard is looking pretty good. I’m going to need roller skates to make it through this week, but waiting at the end is the West Michigan Bluegrass Association Mayfest. We’re taking GS3 and his sisters, GD1 and GD2. It should be fun for all of us, and … Read more
So, my Mom has been sick. She is a little better now, and I’m relaxing a bit. Due to Mom’s illness, I’ve been driving around the suburbs north of Detroit nearly every day for 4 weeks. This is unusual, I usually don’t go out that much. I’ve had a few way too close calls, I’ve … Read more
