To my eyes a beautiful sight!
4 weeks agoIn Oregon, no less. All jays are named “Louie” by my older daughter because that’s what Grandpa P called the “peanut thief” in his yard.
Thanks for the photo reminder, Scott.
Caw-bomb!
4 weeks agoPhotos liked and I'm reading!
4 weeks agoImpressive! Three degrees of separation from greatness. Better than a Kevin Bacon.
4 weeks agoThank you Annette. I’m pleased that you find it worth your time, but for me it’s been therapeutic - both to write and remember and to hear from those of you who have reached out in one way or another. It feels like I’m part of a real community here. And of course you should feel welcome here even if you’re beyond biking now. I certainly intended to when I feared I’d never bike back again, and when I’ve spent seven weeks now with still only nine miles to show for myself.
4 weeks agoYup, that’s where Carol Jo and I first heard of him. Besides Classical Gas and his instrumentals though, he was a comic lyricist, composing a series of whimsical ‘Them’ riffs. I think there’s a whole book of them. Here’s one of his best known, Them Toad Suckers:
How about Them Toad Suckers,
Ain't they clods?
Sittin' there suckin'
Them green toady-frogs.
Suckin' them hop-toads,
Suckin' them chunkers,
Suckin' them leapy-types,
Suckin' them plunkers.
Look at Them Toad Suckers,
Ain't they snappy?
Suckin' them bog-frogs
Sure makes 'em happy.
Them huggermugger Toad Suckers,
Way down south,
Stickin' them sucky-toads
In they mouth.
How to be a Toad Sucker?
No way to duck it.
Gittchyseff a toad,
Rare back and suck it!
Another great entry in my Puzzlerama with Sharron. Thanks again.
4 weeks agoSure do, thanks for the reminder.
4 weeks agoYour journals make excellent reading. Maybe you should be published? I'm never quite sure how much I should post on CB, as it's been quite a few years since I've cycled anywhere. Hope everything goes swimmingly for you and Rachael as you look forward to your time in Tucson!
4 weeks agoOne of my distant cousins said she went out on a date with Mason Williams in Kansas City back in the late 1960's. She was kind of a hippy/groupie type, so I wonder if "date" meant what I thought it meant back then.
4 weeks agoThe Feeshko and I stayed in a hotel in downtown Rochester, MN a few years ago. The next morning, we saw a similar sight of crows in the trees. We were parked underneath those trees. Need I describe what our car looked like when we got to it?
4 weeks agoScott, I'm here to the rescue. I will go back and "like" a few of them in your place.
4 weeks agoBill? Bill? You out there?
