Idalia, which has been growing stronger for more than 24 hours, is expected to make landfall between 6 and 9 a.m. ET today south of Perry, Florida. Idalia strengthened to a Category 4 and is expected to remain an "extremely dangerous" hurricane when it makes landfall.
As of around 5 a.m. ET, the hurricane had maximum sustained winds 130 mph, with higher gusts. Storm surge damage may stretch about 200 miles along Florida’s west coast, past the Tampa Bay area, and Florida’s Big Bend area could get 12 to 16 feet of storm surge. The National Weather Service office in Tallahassee said “locations may be uninhabitable for several weeks or months” because of wind damage. Storm surge could prevent access, too.

I had only two thoughts about this when I saw the article on TheGuardian.com. First was simple - would the world be worse off without these furry killing machines? and second was - I wish I had that much free time that I could worry about shit like this.
How many thousands of species of animals and birds and bugs and other creatures aren't around anymore? I guess there was nobody around to bitch about it when the dinosaurs shit the bed, right? Juss' sayin'...

While you might think that 30 percent chance of rain means there's a 30 percent chance of rain in your area, in reality, it's not that simple. When the weather says that there is a 30 percent chance of rain that means that there is a 100 percent chance of rain in a certain area, but that it will only rain on 30 percent of that given area.
When I usta live in the islands we'd say that 30% chance of rain meant there was 100% chance it was gonna rain in 30% of the island. Maybe we were righter than we thought...

like The Temple. Fifteen bucks for a Jamie? Obviously, the Clearey family paid much too much for the place when they bought it, and now that nut hasta be paid.
Fuck that. 8.95 Euros for a pint of Guiness three mies from where the fuckin' Guiness is made. If you're wondering, that's about $ 9.75 US.

Over the following years, Janis would call on Jorma to accompany her at gigs. As they continued to play together, the Bay Area was changing musically and developing into the legendary San Francisco scene to which both Janis and Jorma would be integral. During a rehearsal for a show in North Beach, Jorma started his reel-to-reel machine to capture what they were working on. For decades, this recording was the stuff of legend, with inferior, multi-generational transfers making their way through select collector's circles. Now, for the very first time, it is available officially, with the blessing and cooperation of both the Janis Joplin Estate and Jorma Kaukonen.
The Legendary Typewriter Tape: 6/25/64 Jorma's House contains this legendary recording, featuring Restoration and Mastering from acclaimed, Grammy®-winner Michael Graves. The tracks include Joplin on vocals, Kaukonen on guitar, and Jorma's wife Margareta typing away intermittently in the background. This may have just been a rehearsal, but it is so much more. Featuring Joplin originals, as well as blues classics, The Legendary Typewriter Tape is an intimate glimpse into two major artists at the beginnings of what would become highly influential careers. As Jorma says in his liner notes: "This is indeed a window into a simpler time when the music truly was everything."

I was visiting the Czech Republic last week, Pilsner Urquell was about $3 a pint. Food and weather was amazing. Regards from Palatka.
ReplyDeleteI remember in the late 60's making a comment to a good friend of mine in a band called Blue Canyon.....I said "it's nice that they're paying us, but I'd do this shit for free".....we did exactly that, many times, playing for youth dances at churches and so on...it was a different time, one that ended with Woodstock and died a horrible death at Altamont....when I heard there were bands at Woodstock Who refused to go on stage before they got paid, that was truly the day the music died....at least for me....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the music tip. Purchased on Apple tunes and will listen and appreciate it fully. I was three years old and living in Berkeley while that recording was made, I grew up during a great time in the SF Bay Area. Regards from Palatka.
