I’ve fought over 350 BC coastal wildfires from 1981-93 and I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening now in our country with the current wildfire behaviour, prevalence, areas covered and consistency.

How do you feel about physical touch? I mean this is the broad sense, not necessarily in a sexual way, but you can answer however you wish.

Personally, I enjoy it a lot, and find it comforting, but only from really specific people. If strangers or people I don't know well want to hug me, it's okay, but I won't seek it out. I think handshakes are weird. Hey, you want to hold hands with a stranger for a short amount of time for some reason?

@RickiTarr I feel the same way. Hugs and touching only feel okay with certain people in context specific ways. And handshakes are weird! I just watched a Kim Richey video a few minutes ago where at the song ending Conan goes in for the handshake. Kim gives him a hug and Conan’s response is kind of a shame cuz he growls in a subtle sexual overtone kind of way. I think she just wanted a basic hug! Looked kind of awkward. It’s great to be aware of meaning and context. Great topic to discuss and think about! https://youtu.be/ur_BtUfZyWE?si=kq7VwQD7kI17CU_C

@RickiTarr OMG, Christian side hug! That’s hilarious. Never heard that one before. It really is a thing! Now I can identify all the people that have given me those kind of hugs. They kinda feel like half-hugs.

Okay, a little mystery also for today. After the Toxic Club, my
brother and I got a strawberry limeade at a little drive inn, and drove around this Conservation Area, but then we start seeing this fence with these signs, it's like 8 foot tall with lots of the fence totally blacked out, and these signs placed on them that say:

Saline Valley Ranch, No Hunting, No Trespassing

This fence went for miles, and miles had to be incredibly pricey to put in, it reminded me of the fence they'd have at a minimum security prison, but we didn't see cows, horses, crops, nothing but woods and hills and miles and miles of giant fence.

We try to find information about what it is, but there's basically nothing. My husband looks it up on Google Earth, and finds Little Saline Ranch, and I look it up, and it says permanently closed, and even less information is available about that. Google Earth shows lots of wooded land, a lake, and a few open fields, but we couldn't see any buildings or animals, nothing like that.

So, looking up that I find this article about mysterious happenings in the area:

https://www.cjonline.com/story/news/local/2018/10/31/hunting-ghosts-miller-county-other/9408986007

It mentions several people seeing a Bigfoot type cryptid in the area, so obviously the fence is to keep it in. My other guesses involve a government blacksite, as it isn't too far from and airforce base, or a doomsday cult, what do you all think?

Tired of making batches of raspberry jam! Freezing the raspberries now on cookie sheets then bagging and freezing them.

@RickiTarr While it’s still hot out of the oven, butter with honey or jam. Yum!

I bought a bunch of fabric from local thrift shops and been sewing a whole whack of festive re-usable gift bags and phasing out the last of our wrapping paper. Got the old 1950’s Singer humming. Made 24 bags so far.

Messing around with the Keeley Angry Orange distortion/fuzz pedal. Great clarity with hearing every string on open chords in major fuzz settings. Quite impressive. Lots of tonal possibilities.

The song I’m currently working on is quite a trippy piece. Very strange. Final mixing tonight.

The sacred ritual of getting ready for vocals. Pulling the large diaphragm condenser mic out of its inner sanctum and hooking it up to the 48v electric life source, the phantom power.

Picked up a barely used Janome SUV1108 sewing machine off craigslist for $100. Giving it a good test run this afternoon with all the stitches, settings and accessories. Having fun with my daughter. She’s set now for doing some cool projects! She cranked out an awesome pair of red dungarees and a nice sunflower print apron last weekend using our vintage 1950’s Singer, but only straight stitch on that machine. Now she has zigzag stitch! Very happy.

Keith Richards just released this killer Lou Reed cover of "I'm Waiting for the Man.” Awesome tune. https://youtu.be/5NcJvi5TYEk?si=zkcforoN8AZKw2LF

Okay just a little experiment I'm gonna link a couple songs, can you listen to a bit of it, and give me a couple adjectives about how it makes you feel?

I finally managed to turn my short guitar & mandolin riff into a new song. The song is called ‘Milling’ and it’s just my vocals, mandolin, guitar and keyboards. No drums. Has an ethereal sort of vibe. https://youtu.be/WJOYV8GpIyQ?si=1rhla5E9RZJ4mIHJ

The 3-way toggle pickup selector switch in the Danelectro 59M is acting up. It will randomly switch to middle position, almost like it’s spring loaded. The crappy tire electrical contact cleaner seems to have helped, although I see a switch replacement coming soon.

@GuitarSith @boxspring @NigelTufnel @ambergrey Rick Beato’s been doing a deep dive with Police members lately. This segment is good on Message in a Bottle breakdown. Around 2:30 in, Andy Summers plays an example. https://youtu.be/FMv5jE3Qpa4?si=13DYu8WVQL8snwrX
