Afternoon folks!
This week there's some great blues, albums by Freddie King, Little Richard and a compilation of blues singles from Stax. There's also a few cuts from a Screamin' Jay Hawkins album that weren't axed by the gods of copyright. In the blues-rock category there are albums from Rory Gallagher and Savoy Brown.
Enjoy!
Folks, please take an hour of your time to view this. I know everyone says that about videos they want folks to watch but I do heartily suggest that you take a look at this one.
I'm interested in what you think about this presentation either pro or con. Tell us where you think it is right or wrong.
I'm hoping it strikes a meaningful discussion.
It’s one of the biggest turds ever passed and just like Obama made the Bush tax cuts permanent, Biden and democrats have made the Trump cuts permanent too. Republicans screwed up on it and many rich people got screwed so they had to fix parts of it and democrats were right there helping them do it. I’m betting that if we looked inside the bill we will find that Pelosi was able to get the SALT tax fixed so her friends don’t have to pay higher property taxes.
The Democrats are celebrating the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act over unified Republican opposition, claiming that the legislation is a historic breakthrough. Sadly, it's not.

The area of the Pacific Northwest I reside has two seasons Winter and Irrigation. Water begins arriving mid-April, generally ending mid-October, freezing happens at both ends of the season. My allocation is about 16 acres and it arrives every day to distribute on crops or landscaping.
Happy Friday everyone. Please feel free to post any photos, memes, or music you like.
It's hard to believe it's been a year since I took over as host of FNP. Time sure does fly. My thanks to everyone for all the wonderful photos, memes, music and conversation you've contributed through the year and I'm looking forward to more in the coming year. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm going to tip back a cold one and celebrate. Cheers everyone.
One of the nice things about photographing at the zoo, when the animals are being camera shy the plants and flowers never are.
How are we divided? Let me count the ways.
Race, gender, economic class, religion, ethnicity, age, education, language, profession, geographic location, medical status, on and on and on. We have become so pigeon-holed and compartmentalized that a certain group wants to divide us further into human and trans-human entities. One is no longer able to just be "me", you must be labeled and categorized, many times over. Have we ever been so divided as we are now?
I purposely left out a big one on my list, politics, that which I think of as building "interpersonal walls", divisions which to me are a mental construct designed as a control mechanism. It has served psychopaths and sociopaths for millennia.
Here in the US politics boils down to a republican/democrat, red/blue dichotomy. Oh. sure, there are other subsets, but for intents and purposes, it is boiled down to the two party system. The system is rigged as such.
We here at c99 are at least trying to open discourse between the two factions with our nonpartisan discussion policy. In my humble opinion, we don't stand a chance unless we stand together and find common ground. I'll iterate again, the struggle is not horizontal, it is vertical. It's a class struggle.
The current political zeitgeist could make a person feel a bit schizo, no?
From the very get-go, something has rubbed me wrong about the plan to cancel student loan debt. At first it was the logical disconnect with which its advocates supported their position, but now I think its nefarious intentions are relying on people's selfishness to sneak through a massive money grab.
Garlic - Why Not?
I decided to 'relax' and write a bit about something we just harvested here in the last few weeks. Garlic.
