      We actually have real, if hazy, sun today. The cars are covered in ash.  We’ve rinsed them clean a couple of times on the weekend, but it’ll be a while before everything settles.  We were joking that we’d lay some eggs out there, let them get covered in ash, and have California-thousand-year cured eggs…..

      Got out on the bike and rode towards the bay yesterday (we have a trail to get there, so no cars to deal with).  The trail looks vaguely snowy from the ash fall and no rain, and bike wheels leave a trail.  Used the better mask after seeing that.

      You may be right – some years ago, Central and Southern Europe was hit by a heat wave that buckled train tracks.  If what we see here is any indication, the world is drying up a bit.   BART shut down yesterday for a bit both bc of computer problems and some heat-buckled track….go figure.

      Gonna take a lot of work to fix this old world, but I guess we don’t have a lot of choice if we want to keep living here 😀

        The sun’s been really red today but we had a little actual sunshine.

              It’s a pretty amazing article – sales are WAY up.  I read it and was trying to justify something on Reverb….maybe I’ll try to make the case to Beth again 🙂

                Ask him if he’s worked with Lucky Strike redwood…..I have one top, and am curious whether or not it’d work. I tend to like spruce guitars, and I’m hoping that the extra stiffness and strength of redwood might be worthwhile.

                  Happy 4th.  I’d like to put it through its paces again sometime….that’s a great instrument.

                    Zorro, that’s pretty. Is it brown granadillo or red granadillo?  The picture looks brown, but the internet, she lies.

                      I keep trying to thin the herd and concentrate on the good ones.  And Old GFs who didn’t play or like playing aren’t in the picture any more. 🙂

                        Part of me wants to answer my own question with 12-year-old humor.  I’m resisting the urge. 🙂

                          What’s a corn moon? I’ve heard of blood moons and such but not a corn moon.

                            …apparently they did at Newport 1961 but the recordings are hard to find.

                              I’ve been listening to him lately – four on six, Impressions, and ‘Round Midnight.  I wonder whether he and Trane played together?

                                That one had a neck you would love, Tad. It was literally a handful for me, but really a good shape.

                                  Sycamore has a lot of damping. It needs a great builder to stiffen it, as SCGC has done.  I’ll still take the old standards.
