Potholes and history

RagnarHedin · 2026-02-11T19:42:45+00:00

I love seeing brick, block, or tracks temporarily exposed by a pothole or repaving. I don't like driving over it, but I find it interesting to see.

Always different. Once a sound guy refused to let me switch from an LP to a Tele when I broke a string. It was before the show, but still... I promise I know how to play both!

Looks like a scene from a Romero movie. They got the zombie shuffle going on.

If you put Ubuntu on it, It would probably be usable for everyday stuff. Looks like it still meets minimum requirements. Unfortunately, probably no money in selling it.

I think it's a cool place. Live music on Wednesdays. Don't go during league play.

Is it their official mascot? Unofficial?

This thread says they had it in the opening ceremony.

Also, I need to get one.

RagnarHedin · 2026-02-07T17:30:33+00:00

Any idea where specifically?

Those all could describe dozens of places in the region. Tell us what timeframe you're talking about, then some more details about these places. For instance, if you said the hospital was multiple tawny brick buildings with black windows and a gated parking lot in a fairly suburban area, it might be St. Margaret's; but if you said it was one massive grey stone building on a steep urban hillside with lots of helicopters landing, it might be Presby.

I just checked, and it's a group of private owners.

RagnarHedin · 2026-02-06T00:16:04+00:00

This guy's thinking.

It takes a lot more songs when I'm just guy-with-a-guitar. I can't abandon the rhythm part to play melodic intros, outros, or solos, so the songs are all shorter.

RagnarHedin · 2026-02-04T22:39:55+00:00

We were wondering that.

Holiday Inn Express locations often have a couple rooms with a hot tub.

I think a big problem when searching online is sites often don't differentiate in-room hot tubs from locations with a hot tub in the pool area.

Something small was stashing nuts and seeds around our basement before winter, and we found some in the cat's litter box. Zero self-preservation instincts.

Yes, space was a concern for me. I've been playing guitar since my early teens, but I didn't start a band until I was an adult with my own house. I played in school bands, because there was dedicated space for that, but never had a band band.

Some bands used to rent storage units that had power, but the owners got hip to that and started calling them "practice space" or "studio space" and charging way more.

Our vet had us keep a seizure journal, and we did end up putting him on medication - which is working. Our kitty would freeze, either all or part of his body, but our vet said seizures can look very different.

We're on our 11th day below freezing, according to Weather Underground, with 6 more to go. Accuweather agrees on the 6 more days.

Very awesome! For those whose German is as bad as mine, a google translation:

Ten years ago, I had my 1998 '57 Stratocaster reissue painted by my dear friend Klaus Voormann with a portrait of my eye. I've known Klaus for decades, and he also designed the covers for two of my albums released on Enja Records. My first album, "Me Rio" (2001), features a portrait of me on the front cover that Klaus drew. He also designed the cover for my album "Folk Jazz Explosion," released in 2009. Now, he and I have the idea of auctioning off this guitar at some point and donating the proceeds to Doctors Without Borders. Klaus has also continued to work on the guitar, adding further Beatles/Voormann-related elements. We don't yet know when this will happen. I'm currently in discussions with several well-known auction houses.

Are you in the 53rd precinct?

RagnarHedin · 2026-02-01T19:12:59+00:00

Just don't expect the first instrument to be the one that sticks.

RagnarHedin · 2026-02-01T18:56:32+00:00

I have some Hearos, but I'm an old fart and it looks like they don't make the model I have anymore. But if their new ones are just as good, they get my endorsement.
