1. Again? Didn't they do that yesterday?

From 7:00 this morning, except it was, ah, let me check .... {brief delay} .... the National Philharmonic of London; Riccardo Chailly, conductor. 7:19, to be precise. I have a system in my kitchen that consists of a Pioneer tuner driving a pair of self-powered Umax computer speakers. It sounds much better than you'd expect.

2. Yea, so old hat!

(Yesterday was the entire piece, this is a small part.)

3. Cattleman's crease. Your hat?

Worn to work today, a Bailey Stampede. Nuthin' fancy; perfect for the Metro.



Mine is an older version that has a few differences from the current version. I'm trying to avoid posting a huge picture.

6. NICE!

Similar to hat Dad wore, like this but band not so wide:

9. I've worn a hat for years. It is rare for me to be outside without one.

We're surely not getting any guidance on style from ZIP code 20500.

10. Sure aren't!

I rarely wear a hat. DID so, tho, when weather demanded and went into 'town' every day to work.

12. Heck, I posted a huge picture!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

14. Okay, here's a bigger one, showing the crease:

From Beethoven to cowboy hats. But it is the movement with the corral.

4. :-)

The Thieving Magpie

5. Great overture. I was thinking as it was on (and I was whistling to it), that

if people know only one operatic overture, it is that one.

I was going to post a Youtube video of it today, but I forgot until I read your post about what's his name, Bee-something.

7. Oh that BEAT guy!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

8. No, not Maynard G. Krebs. Wait for it; wait for it....

The curse of old age: I write "Dobie Gillis" first, not "Maynard G. Krebs."

11. HAHA!

13. Please listen @5:56 pm Turkish Rondo

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

My fave!

15. Sorry. No AM-FM listening device on me. Also, they don't work well on the Metro.

Tunnels? Forget it. Above ground? Too noisy. You have to turn the volume up too much and bring on hearing loss.

I SAID "HEARING LOSS."

16. DARN!

OK, save this:
