A barge collided with a pillar of the I-30 bridge, and all that traffic was routed to the Broadway bridge. It took me forty-five minutes to get home in North Little Rock across the river rather than fifteen. Trombone, Cute One? I am again reminded of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Mikado. The son of the Mikado is hiding out as the third chair trombone of a traveling orchestra to escape an arranged marriage, and meets a Cute Girl, although not as cute as The Cute One. Son: ā€œBut what if I were no musician?ā€ Cute girl: ā€œOh! I knew it directly I heard you play!ā€ ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > This, folks, is called a well-stocked bachelor fridge. Mustard! You forgot mustard! No fridge can be well stocked without mustard; & I donā€™t mean that tasteless yellow crap either. I was treated to good Southern-style dinner tonight; chicken-fried steak & dumplings. Unfortunately north of the Mason-Dixon line that means it comes from a Cracker Container\*. Are any of their restaurants more than Ā¼ mile from an interstate exit ramp? - Us classy Northerners donā€™t eat food from a barrel (with the exception of deli pickles, & when eating those we hold our pinky out 'cause we gots class!). **Midget** , do you record any of your compositions?

**Spidey** , weā€™ve got 2 cracker restaurants in 2 neighboring counties and both are many miles from I-95. So it happens. Up early just because. This evening, Iā€™m going to my momā€™s so tomorrow we can load my truck with plantage. Both my boss and Missy Prissy are off today, but I have plenty to do, so yay! Time to get going. Happy Firday!! ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffienatinā€™. _YAWN_ ā€˜Tis 63 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 89 for the day. The tropical storm hanginā€™ in the Gulf of Mexico will probably dump a bunch of rain on Sunday and/or Monday. Or not. Really. Thatā€™s what the forecast is sayinā€™. **flytrap** we could have a caged death match between knife/spoon wieldinā€™ stinkbugs and point stick wieldinā€™ Sri Lankan spiders. Might be a moneymaker. šŸ˜ƒ Ok thatā€™s all I got. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. At least 'tis Firday and ifā€™n I can get away with it, itā€™ll be a short day of irk just cause I can. Happy Firday Yā€™all! ---

Well, things are moving out of my sinuses, but Iā€™m still dizzy and I feel a little sick. Weā€™ll see how today goes. I donā€™t get backup until 2 p.m. ā˜¹ I used to play viola. Iā€™ve still got it. I just need to get a few things fixed on it. ---

Happy Firday. Itā€™s a sunny 62 degrees with a projected high of 83. Itā€™s a blurfy morning Today Sah-son gets his first driving lesson from the school, I donā€™t think he is ready. I hope they can give him the confidence I havenā€™t been able to give him. Then I get to watch piddle pup tonight and tomorrow. ---

I actually have rather extensive triangle experience. Here is a video of a piece of music where thereā€™s a triangle at the very beginning of the piece (and yes, thatā€™s me playing the triangle solo. šŸ™‚ ) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj80cX3BCrg](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj80cX3BCrg) (I can`t figure out how to post links properly on this school computer.)

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > I shall blow across a beer bottle. When I was in McGill, a few of us had an idea to form a music group where everyone would play beer bottles filled with varying amounts of liquid to make different notes. Never really got off the ground, although at a party once, 4 of us had different beverage bottles, and when we each blew across our bottle at the same time, by pure luck, it just happened to make a perfect 4-note chord. The music nerd in me was very happy. šŸ™‚ Or drunk. Or both.
