"The beet is the most intense of vegetables." is one of the most promising opening lines I have read in a long while.
Yesterday: Rain, snow, ice pellet dumps and 50 mph wind gusts all day...and hardly any trick-or-treaters. They don't make kids like they used to, I tell you.

sad day on the ice if the senate decides to raise taxes on books, they are voting now and want to raise it a lot, I hope there are enough wise people there to stop it. edit: they voted yes so higher taxes on books are coming

there is tax on books in most countries people just don't know it. A few countries don't have it, I think I remember correctly that France is one of them, but I do know that Denmark has a higher tax than on the ice, even now after they raised it here.Quote:

yeah I guess, in part, well there are more books published here than anywhere else I think and I heard somewhere that 1 in 3 of the population will write a book of some sort.
But statistics also show that young boys don't read a lot and many find it even difficult but at the same time our cultural minister was visiting schools telling kids the importance of reading he put this bill before congress and won. politics.

Been thinking about this lately . . . for almost a week.
We need to turn the war machine OFF. . it's a machine, like a refrigerator. . it has a lot of parts, it's larger, but it's still a machine, and it can be turned off. Nothing is impossible - all it takes is for us, collectively, to wake up from it.
I think my pants must've shrunk up some over the holidays.
So Yesterday, or earlier today, at one point the word "noncompoop" went through my head. . I thought this was interesting because it's usually "nincompoop" and I didn't think much of it. . just now on M*A*S*H, Major Winchester just used the same word, "noncompoop."
Well, a "noncom" is short for non-commissioned officer. In M*A*S*H, that could make sense in context.Quote:

I am curious now to hear other instrumental versions.. I'm sure there have got to be a few.

I heard it again and I may have been wrong; it may have just been a similar part of the music..Quote:

Hmm, that's very interesting! I still feel I may have been mistaken - it was only a few bars, and it could have been another song that sounded similar. But you finding an older one with Vivaldi music makes me think it's slightly more likely. . It's so funny, and I have to laugh, because the thought just occurred to me I may have only heard it because I like the song.
In any case, you inspired me to look up an old thread I made about it. . I've always especially loved the second stanza. . It's one of those that seems just as, if not more beautiful, to me now.

By the way, and I suppose this works for a random thought, Google searches are a good way to find old threads.
The search, "new audi commercial with agitata?" for instance, leads to this page.
George Thorogood is 65. Some people are just hard to imagine as senior citizens.
I stumbled upon Cindy Walker the pen behind many great songs others capitalized on.
Great stuff for a cloudy Saturday afternoon.
