Chas --- I hear ya about the winter driving. It's bad here in Minney-soda too, and I almost thought about getting this as a second vehicle, (but for obvious reasons), I decided against it!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Back home in Indiana, they never changed either. This year is the last. Next year they are knuckling under to the pressure to be like *everyone else*, and will adjust clocks. I always loved it when time stood still. Now one more remnant of of my past is being torn from me.

TOM!!!!! --- re yer new avatar! Is that you before, or after drinking??? :lol: :lol:

It takes many years for good wines and violins to realize their full potential. You're doing the same, but much more quickly! ;) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBIN. B) A toast to you, and hope you have a good one --- David

Docvic said that??? I don't doubt it (I just don't remember it), and I was there for AC 79. As they say -- hindsight is 20/20. :( David

Raf is right -- that is their address, but it is pretty B-O-R-I-N-G reading. ;) And if you want to contact them, it is snail-mail only. Ya gotta love how they keep up with the times!! :D

What is a cult?? I give twi 33 points. David

Da Creation of Da Upper Peninsula In the beginning dere was nuttin'. Den... On da FIRST day, God created da UP. On da SECOND day, He created da partridge, da deer, da bear, da fish, and da ducks. On da THIRD day, He said "Let dere be Yoopers to roam da Upper Peninsula." On da FOURTH day, God created da udder world down below. On da FIFTH day, He said "Let dere be trolls to live in da udder world down below." On da SIXTH day, He created da bridge, so da trolls would have a way to get to heaven. God saw it was good and on da SEVENTH day, He went huntin'. ;)

Hey JJ -- speaking of Hoosier films, did you ever see Breaking Away?? Another good one. :) David

The sun comes up, and the sun goes down --- daily. Adjust your schedule (not the time) accordingly!! :)

Excie -- now that there costume is scary!!! :lol:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLE!!! :) David

They're shrinking shrinking shrinking :lol:

Thomas --- great topic. :) I love everything old, and not much of that which is new, when it comes to worship songs, with the exception of the OLD Petra songs which are rock and roll gospel personified (IMO), and obviously NOT meant to be played in church -- but rather on the highway cruising at 70 plus miles per hour. John Schlitt's vocals, Bob Hartman's guitar, John Lawry's keyboards, Louie Weaver's drums, and Ronny Cates bass are the *ultimate* for *drive time* rock and roll. It is mighty hard not to speed, trying to get to what they are singing about. :) Ahhhhhh -- now -- I got that out of my system. :) More in keeping with your question -- I have one very favorite CD, and one very favorite hymnal. Short story here ------------- I stopped in at the local *Christian music* radio station (they play mostly contemporary stuff), several years ago, since I did deliveries for a local printing company back then, and I had on board what they (the radio station), had ordered. They were throwing out a bunch of CD's. The guy behind the desk saw my bluegrass T-shirt I was wearing, and said "Would you like some free CD's??. The short of the long of it is, they gave me a priceless CD of all of Nashville's best pickers doing old gospel hymns, found in old Baptist hymnals, and doing it my style -- with fiddle, banjo, mandolin, etc.. I love that CD and loved it even more a week or so later -- when (by chance -- HA!!) I was in an antique book store, and found an old Baptist Hymnal that had the words to many of these tunes, that were only done instrumentally on the CD. I don't go to church these days, but I have found a few I might like to visit. What they do musically will not affect me. If I never find a church to connect with again, I guess I have to say it is ok, cause now I have both the music, and the words to connect together with some songs that have really made a difference to me, without any affiliaton to any one denomination. If a denomination, or group can do the same, I will sit up and pay attention. David

Thanks, J. :) David

Personally I don't get it when folks quote movies as *truth*. But documentaries, or true stories are something else, entirely. And Roy -- I can also agree with the *imagery* in them too. Hollywood -- sometimes they get it right, sometimes they don't. (my IMO)

*Hoosiers* was also a movie, showing it was possible. :)

And here is how easy it is to turn a *redneck* joke, into a *blueneck* joke --- instead of Luther, Billy Bob and Earline, now we have Sven, Ole, and Lena.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

CW --- AND SAMURAI!! Happy birthday to the two of you! :) David

A friend of mine holds *CD flipping* parties. He buys CD's at garage sales (for dirt cheap) Then buys a keg of beer, then throws a party; And sees who can *flip* the CD's furthest into his back yard (which is about two acres worth of land!) Methinks nametags (should you have any left) would serve the same purpose!! :lol: :lol: (I will agree -- they make dandy ice-scrapers too!!)

A toast to wayfer's birthday, and safe return!

No matter what year you are citing, it fits's like a hand in a glove, or a foot in the mouth, or whatever. :) David

Roy -- Love the stuff you post -- makes me think (don'tcha know)!! I don't always agree, but nothing wrong with thinking about it, eh?? I really like it when you put your stuff on JWO Love it when they squirm!!! B) B) Shucks -- if I post over there much more, I'll be an elder! David :D :P :D
