I hope the reason for that is understood...................

I prefer the period of the Doobie Brothers that included Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and Michael McDonald, mostly because they brought a lot of the blue-eyed soul feel from their Steely Dan work.

Fun fact - the synthesizer lead part on What a Fool Believes is Baxter playing a Roland GR-500 guitar synth.

Hey, Bob, I know all that back-and-forth with yourself is really just to get your post count up to 2 tons.

Besides, what Trump tore down was not part of the original White House. The "East Wing" was a big coat closet (aka cloakroom) added by Teddy Roosevelt in 1902. Then FDR rebuilt and added some small offices to it as a cover story for building a bunker underneath it during WWII. The first First Lady to have an office in the East Wing was Roslyn Carter.

Here's what Truman did to the actual White House "proper" in the 1950's. Completely gutted, with steel beams to keep it from collapsing. And holes in the walls big enough to drive a truck through, literally.

And the Ballroom is not tax payer funded. Trumps doing one hell of a job.

Cloudy, wet as this Thursday started today...........chilly 50's..........wind increasing as the day goes on as Hurricane Melissa moves away............So far this Hurricane season Our Country has been spared of the many deadly effects those storms can bring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....This is a blessing for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Tonight is "Mischief Night", the night before Halloween,. when "kids" go out and do things they shouldn't be doing. I wonder if that is still on the agenda for anybody anymore??? I moved my truck to my driveway tonight just in case. It seems anything parked on the street is open season for whatever.............. My Cadillac back left window got smashed while it was parked on the street in front of my house yrs ago............That's something that sticks with you for a long time!!! That's something that I believe goes beyond "mischief"....things like that make you start to wonder about a lot of things.............stuff I will never know................BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................BTW....What's the candy of choice this year???,,,,,,,Reeses???,,,,,,,,, 'I OD'd on Mars Bars one Halloween long ago............................M&M's are my fan favorite now-a-days..............I gotta hear this tune one more time........they stopped playing it next door.....

Good Morning Everybody....Happy Sunday! Did everyone remember to turn your clocks back last night???? Once again, like every year, there's a lot of grumbling about why the heck we have to do this and, like every year nothing will be done to keep us on the same time ALL yr long. "Experts" say if we ever did stay on one time all year, it should be on Standard Time.I don' care one way or the other...........Just Keep it ONE TIME ALL YEAR LONG!!!!!!!!.........Don't you all feel so much better now with that "extra" hour of sleep you got last night?............Me too!!

An article in the paper today about the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald.that happened this month in 1975. It haunts me for no real reason except for the lives that were lost that day, but it seemed to affect Gordon Lightfoot much more than me...... https://www.ctpost.com/news/article...wreck-of-the-edmund-21132260.php.........open the link manually if you have to and then listen to the tribute song.....
