Somewhat Cool

 Partly cloudy with a light rain shower just a little while ago but now clearing a bit and we've got some sunshine on and off. It doesn't look too bad today. Of course, yesterday was terrific. 












I guess I'm just exploring some old stuff, old guitars, stuff I sold on eBay a long time ago, and so on. One of those pics is of me around 1968 or so with a Bruno Conqueror, which was not a bad hollow body at all. Floating bridge, like a jazz guitar, single coil pickups. But it got traded in on a candy apple red 1964 Fender Jaguar, and I don't have that guitar any more either.

Terrific Day!

 Warm, plenty of sunshine, pleasant breezes-- a fine day for the time of year. 




Above I revisit the Lubbock Lights. So much had changed! 19th Street was probably a two-lane road in the early fifties and houses were torn down when it was widened. 







About twenty years ago I was out in Southwest Lubbock around sundown and discovered hazy blobs in the digital photos. I tried to enhance them and got this stuff.

Great Weather

 It is at least not bad for this time of year. A few years back we'd had an ice storm by this time. That was abnormal. Starship continues to be a joke, lowering the bar for what qualifies as "success". I can't figure out the fan base for this project. It might be better to rename Starship. Maybe Starsh*t would be an option. It didn't blow up immediately. That's success? Will it be one success after another?










This is an old Hondo guitar I used to have. I wish I still had it. Did I sell it on eBay?? I can't remember what I did with it. It weighed a lot. Maybe I donated it to Goodwill. I don't even recall where I found it!

A Norther

 But not much of a change. Only a little cooler. That's not bad.










It looks like a nice weekend we'll be having.

Foggy, Cloudy, Again

 Bloody hell, what does it take to get some sunshine around here? I got the new Covid vaccine yesterday with no side effects whatsoever and later this month I'll get Shingles number two. I believe in the efficacy and general safety of vaccines and have nothing but contempt for the anti-vaccine crowd. They should get sick already. Piss on them. As usual, there's a whole lotta shit-for-brains going on. Fuck 'em all and let their peculiar deities sort 'em out. HAHAHA! By the way, I now no longer see any of those shitwit "Trump Won" signs around town. I keep hoping all those Big Macs the orange turd gobbles will clog his arteries enough to put him down, the sooner the better. Oh well, one must be content to see what tomorrow brings. Steady as she goes around here. Taking care of business, as usual. Minding the store, so to speak. Doing what must be done and staying on top of things. My right shoulder gets better and better and I feel really good about that.
