Struggling to stay logged in. Will give Windows a try. May have to go to Verison on my phone.
Anyway, was trying to write about our weekend in Kalama, Washington.

I have related on this board bits and snatches of my personal history as the son and grandson of bigshots in the long disappeared Amalgamated Meat Cutters union.

Putin Plays Chess, Trump Plays Golf

Chess requires thinking a few moves ahead in multiple scenarios. Golf requires playing the ball where it lays. You don't think about the next hole you will play. That may explain Trump's shoot from the hip style. It has been interesting to hear all the different predictions this week about the Trump-Putin summit. Generally speaking, it came off better than I thought. May be Trump will get his coveted piss prize. Meanwhile western Asia is as volatile as ever with many predicting another Israeli strike on Iran. I wonder why the Donald is so concerned about the death in Ukraine, but doesn't seem phased by all the death in Palestine. Maybe brown people don't count?

Afternoon folks!

This week we've got some great stuff especially for guitar fans. Starting out we have a live album from New Orleans blues guitarist Snooks Eaglin, followed by a compilation of Chicago blues harmonica player Billy Boy Arnold's early recordings. After that we have another live album from Fleetwood Mac back when they were a blues band featuring Peter Green on guitar. After that it's on to some live rockabilly with Robert Gordon and Danny Gatton and we finish up in the bluegrass lane with a couple of sets from Old & In The Way featuring Jerry Garcia on the banjo along with Vassar Clements, Peter Rowan, David Grisman and John Kahn.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good people!

I read somewhere that seven companies are adding crickets to their flour. Careful with your baking mixes. We ain't in Martha White territory no more!

Happy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.

Went to Dog Beach Tuesday for this month's camera club outing.
