I saw them in concert in Oslo, Norway, in... must have been... 1964 or '65. Absolutely amazing music.
Rest in peace, Spencer Davis -- you made a significant contribution to my life.

Wow. I have always felt high respect and admiration for Search-&-Rescue crews of all stripes. This, perhaps because... one of the first novels I ever read (as a young teen) was about the crash of a de Havilland DHC-3 Otter in a Norwegian snowstorm and the eventual rescue of the crew. At the trucking...

Want to understand?
The brilliantly insightful James Baldwin understood, and he wrote it down for us.
And we did nothing.
Yet.

Whoa! What did I just step in?!
[*runs in the opposite direction, never to return -- now I really know better*]

who s a good boy ? Oh my Dog! Are you still here? Aint you dead yet, Unjon? :mrgreen: ... ... ... If we do Juplaya 2021, will you be joining us? ... ... ...But it is probably “over” as far as the douchebros, sparkleponies and bucketlisters are concerned. If so, RIP Burningman! And welcome Little Bu...

Yes! That is it.
That one could be straight off the blue DBS of my early teens on the outskirts of Oslo.
(DBS = Den Beste Sykkel = The Best Bicycle -- yep, that was the brand name.)

Woohoo -- do we have some fabulous friends in this bar, or what?! I'm not much of an alcohol-drinker, but... if there should be... one of those marvelously flavorful local Kentucky Bourbons (local to him in Kentucky) that Le Chat Noir once mentioned? That would surely hit the spot now. Earlier today...

(*falls off his bar-stool and softly curses FIGJAM -- then thanks him and tells him with a smile:*)
I'm working on it, dagnabbit, I'm working on it!

EDIT to add: Printed and on the wall in my house.

(*Reports back in with good news, looking calm and relaxed*) He left. On his own accord. In violation of the Shelter In Place order, because such nonsense does not apply to him. But under the circumstances, I'll take it, without trying to correct him! (*Goes out in the back yard, undresses, lies dow...

(*Barges in, seeming stressed out -- but then looks around and relaxes.*)

Ah, refuge!
My brother happened to be visiting me for a few days when this virus thing happened, and now I may be stuck with him for The Hat knows how long! In this cramped little house of mine! He's driving me bonkers!

Hi, Ginny, welcome to ePlaya! I am a white-skinned Scandinavian, and I go nude much of the time on Playa -- mostly without sunscreen. My "secret" is that I build a natural tan very gradually over four to six months. It is simply part of my daily routine to take "an early siesta" for 1/2 to 1 hour in...

Hello, Anna, and welcome to ePlaya! Perhaps you are aware that the USA is a highly divided country these days, and this seems to apply to ePlaya as well. So, now that you have received advice from one perspective, I offer the other view. (That I was born and grew up in Norway has nothing to do with ...

You rang, Ms Hippie? Wow... 2008. Couple more years, and this thread will be a teenager! Regarding your driving ability and large vehicles.... If you start glancing up at the left front area of passing school buses -- meaning the buses that are still hauling youngsters to school five days a week -- ...

(*saunters absentmindedly by; assorted psychology books under his arm*) Oh... hi, folks! Say... what might I want to do in Central or Southern California in around a couple weeks from now? Possibly picking up my brother in San Diego, so thinking of combining the trip with something else worthwhile. ...

The Xanax has not kicked in yet, so here I go: A while back, an ePlaya friend taught me about something he called "doxing", for which lesson I am grateful. So, now, I would of course not DREAM of suggesting anyone might want to click on any link and scroll down to any long post which is of course no...

Sham, that really is funny, because... they are vaguely aware of Burning Man and that I go there, and that I bring lots of Stuff and I repair bicycles and whatnot. And... a couple weeks ago, the woman asked if I needed help up there. She figured they could come with me and help out, and get a free t...

That woman's reaction would be hilarious, if it were not so serious and sad. I forget what this phenomenon is called, but it is about women who are "addicted" to staying with their abuser. To her, being beaten by the lout is normal. Also, he is "the devil she knows" -- the next guy could be worse. A...

No worries. I remembered to put this shirt on also.

(*staggers thru the door, dripping with sweat, one shoe half off, eyeballs spinning. stumbles around behind the bar until he finds the Jefferson’s Reserve Very Old Very Small Batch Bourbon and pours himself about half a shot*) Hark. Ahhhhhhhhh…. Say… may I move in and live here in The Bar for a whil...

A couple suggestions for those who have not invested hours in this already.... The important Appendix E starts on page 275 and runs only nine pages. And you can scroll thru quite a bit of it before that. But do pay attention to what you are skimming thru. I'm no legal eagle, but it is my impression ...

... ... ... 3. No physical barriers around the perimeter. However, the use of "trash fence" was changed to "perimeter." ... " PHS-3* BRC will be required to implement physical perimeter barriers and controls (e.g., Jersey barriers and K-rail fence) to reduce the risk of unauthorized entry to the Ev...

...and spend the extra money on a bunch of gifts :) Whoa there, Nellie... whooooaaaa.... That's it... easy, easy.... Somebody wants to spend money on a bunch of Stuff?! Lemm'e tell ya, Pardner, much of that Stuff would become MOOP and trash. A far better type of gift is the kind you give of yoursel...

I wrote magazine articles for almost 20 years -- average of two articles each month, one of them with my own photos. And I charged far too little for at least the first ten years, maybe 15. When I finally wised up and started cranking up my invoices, they simply paid without comment. When at last I ...

Quite so. Stretcher, sling, blanket, net, web, sedan chair... any such that will provide good hand-holds outside of the stone itself. (And of course, the obvious... like pallbearers.) In other news.... You heard it here first! El Pulpo Mecanico is returning to the Playa this year! Duane Flatmo, Jerr...

Ever carry something awkward in a blanket? Four, five, six or more guys holding onto corners and edges of the blanket, and the item in the middle of the blanket. Could you use that principle and make a "blanket -- a cargo sling, I think it would be called -- with rope? Of course, you would have to r...

You rang, m'Lord?

I thank you for the nomination. But this year I must pay undivided attention to my theme camp. I'm not even working Perimeter shifts this year.

Being the original poster of this thread, I approve of continuing research.

Pardon me while I eavesdrop for technical information. I tried screening a documentary in camp last year, but largely failed. DVD in a MacBook laptop, digital projector, white sheet stretched on the side of a bus, guitar amplifier (amp and speaker in one unit). I managed to get the film up on the sc...

Three cheers and a tiger for Magic Marty!
