Beer isn't silly.

Must be something else...

[bort]

What is this "beer" you speak of? I simply must try it sometime.

Why does Microsoft continue to provide us with such a crummy web browser? I bought a new Toshiba with Windows 10 on it last Fall and finally started using it in February. Thought I would give MS-Internet Explorer a chance because they are the experts. Right?

Well... after struggling with slow, crashing programs I went back to Mozilla Firefox. Most of the problems vanished.

GRRRR. I STILL hate Mircrosoft!

You have been updated.

Need to use the proper spelling- "Micro$oft".

first gig, this evening, with "new toy".
Generally uncharacteristically of bloke, it actually is new.

Such suspense, Joe. What is it?

Today we board a train bound for Talkeetna, AM from Denali, AM. And you won't.

I'll-ask-ya about it later.

In the morning, apparently.

On the way home today, I drove up to an intersection to find that a serious car accident had happened less than a minute before. The injured people were already out of the vehicles and on the grass, and a few other people had already stepped in to help. I pulled over and ran to the scene, I helped calm one of the people and keep her from moving around until the paramedics came (about 5 minutes). Seemed like mostly head injuries, the lady I was helping had a pretty good gash on her chin and seemed a bit out of it. the guy next to me had a bloody gash on his head and was responsive but laying still. The third person was too far away and too emotional for me to tell, but others were attending to her.

Overall, hard to tell how serious the injuries were, but glad that help arrived so quickly, and no one was killed at the scene. The cars were completely wrecked, and although it was bad, it might have been even worse.

This comes less than a week after a rollover accident in my neighborhood, where someone got T boned and their Jeep flipped over. Oh, and I also got rear ended last week stopping (instead of accelerating) at a yellow light.

Scary stuff, you never know what you will run into. Be careful out there, folks.

I discovered I need a new pair of work/winter boots today. Hoping to find a good pair before winter starts up here.

Out of boredom (and a lack of witty inspiration), I've started naming my fantasy football teams after Spinal Tap albums.

You obviously need a distraction. Go to the Oystein Baadsvik concert on October 16th. He'll inspire you to play your tuba more.

That was my plan until the Twin Ports Wind Orchestra schedule came out. We're doing a joint concert with the Minnesota Symphonic Winds up here that day.

[opus37]

Your concert is at 3. You can rush out after the concert and get to Oystein's concert at 7. I know a sax player planning on doing just that.

UPDATE:

Ross Perot is running again.

...but he's wearing a yellow toupée, and has orange skin...

I went and got hitched. So there's that.

Congrats! This kind of news deserves to be elsewhere, though, as Update Update is for trivial things in life.

Sorry, first big mistake of the marriage I guess

Went where?

Congrats!

[Virtuoso]

Married in Maine, honeymoon in Thailand.

Thanks! I'm quite pleased with the whole deal.
