Any Colorado Horde members about that have researched the ballot Qs. 78? transparency, sounds good, but the last bit: "custodial monies get moved into the general fund to spend as the legislature sees fit" sounds like a money grab. 119. I'm leaning towards NO, no new money for more commie indoctrination of kids regardless of who pays. 120. sounds like it really reduces property taxes for a few years.

The farming video reminds me of Clarkson's Farm which is on Amazon Prime video. If you like Clarkson, you'll like this series. He decides to farm his farm which had been farmed by a tenant farmer.
Since we bought a farm this year, it seemed like a good watch. Main lesson learned is that if you want to be a farmer, it helps to start out as a millionaire. Of course, it is reality TV and a year edited down to 8 50-minute shows will highlight the dramatic, and some of it was clearly "scripted." As we just bought a farm this year, it was a little scary... Posted by: blaster at November 01, 2021 06:43 PM (mbFEM) 23

Long story.
Used to live in an urban area when kids were young. We made a paper mache head from balloon, and put it on a scarecrow... one week before Halloween. Put it on the porch, propped up on straw bales. Night of Halloween, I replaced it with me. Head, with holes cut out. Straw hanging out of cuffs, sleeves. Seeing the reactions when I just lifted a finger were hilarious.

Idiotic clintonian corrupt garbage VA candidate cites "exhaustion" from Trump as factor in VA race.
Just as with many AOSHQ commenters, apparently these people were "exhausted" by ridiculous media lies and distortions set against a backdrop of their own ignorance and bigotries. Full employment, best economy since the 50s, reindustrialization, some small steps to restoring rule of law, and sane foreign policies - surely these were not the source of "exhaustion". Seems VA Dems are showing signs of panic and all the usual GOP suspects are pouncing and seizing and prepping for a big Our Team Won reaction.

Didn't have many kids come by for Halloween (and we were giving out full-size candy bars, too!). One family (a dad and his kids) came by, and I was holding the dogs while my wife was chatting with the dad. One of the kids, dressed as spiderman, came up, and was petting our bigger dog, and telling me his life story - about his dog, about how he has two moms, one of which lives in another state, and how he was going to see her at Easter, and over the summer. He was also going to visit his grandpa, too. Went on for a good ten minutes, just petting and talking.

Part of MacAuliffe's problem (I wish it were bigger part) is that he's been here before. He made a thing about Fairfax schools and that he and his wife raised their five kids here. Yep--they went to private schools. Says something about public schools but not exactly what he wanted to convey.

McAuliffe today:
"We got to work hard to diversify our teacher base," McAuliffe said at a campaign event in Manassas Sunday. "Fifty percent of our students are students of color, 80% of the teachers are White, so what I'm going to do for you, we'll be the first state in America," he continued. "If you go teach in Virginia for five years in a high-demand area -- that could be geographic, it could be course work -- we will pay room, board, tuition, any college, any university, or any HBCU here in Virginia."

Re the top photo, two notes:
- I believe that was one of Hall & Oates' earliest albums, from around 1975 or so, when the Bowie androgynous thing was still big but fading. I don't believe they ever had a single memorable hit from that album. Daryl passes as a chick far better than John, obviously... - The official name of their band/group is "Daryl Hall John Oates," which I've always found interesting. If you look at all their albums and official merchandising, that's how they're always billed, never as "Hall & Oates."

111 qdpsteve, Mark K. is not fooling, he really can't sing. The audio recordings are generally the best version of his vocals, much of the live stuff aside from Alchemy demonstrates his limited vocal range. But boy can he write song lyrics and melodies. He does some Hollywood soundtrack music too like Princess Bride among others. Dylan can (Lay Lady Lay for example) but chooses not to in most songs.

Were they lo-cal? Posted by: ALH at November 01, 2021 07:13 PM (/+B8L) We had about 75. I did my part to be positive role-model: sat in a lawn chair, smoking a cigar, drinking a beer, and wearing a silly plastic Viking helmet while passing out the candy to the little ghouls. Not a single mask. Even despite DeWine's attempts to stir-up more panic, Ohio is pretty much over COVID. Posted by: Retired Buckeye Cop is now an engineer at November 01, 2021 07:18 PM (pJWtt) 183
Husband worked with a guy that grew Japanese maples. He called it his retirement fund. They were pretty easy to grow. Could dig up a few any time to sell.

Blaster, why ruin perfectly good farmland with actually farming it? Contract that sucker out to a local with the equipment and collect the rent.

"164 No trick or treaters showed up to my house. Mostly because the lights were off and I was in the back and couldn't hear them, but also because its a dead end street and the pickens are slim.

There's also a song by Steely Dan, the title song of the Gaucho album, called Gaucho.
It sounds as if Don Fagen was trying to do a song about homophobia, before the word was even invented. Posted by: qdpsteve, ex-Hooters waitress at November 01, 2021 07:17 PM (L2ZTs) --- Gaucho is about an old, jaded gay couple and one of them that picks up some young strange.

Posted by: whig at November 01, 2021 07:11 PM (9hXN1) True true. If I could lease it out for farming for the next 3-5 years that would actually be a good thing. Problem is all those dang trees. It would have to be cleared. So right now my notional plan is subdividing a 40 acre parcel and marketing it as a "Prepper Acres" that provides 8 5 acre plots that are zoned agricultural and can be totally off-grid.

Last place I worked had Canadian geese sleep in the parking lot all night. Made sense since it was a fenced parking lot with an automated gate. Therefore, lots of protection. They would still be there when I got to work in the morning so I had to keep an eye on the birds while tip-toeing around piles and piles of goose shit trying to get to the door.
Every week or so they would run street sweeper through the lot to clean up the poop but all it did was smear it into the few places that were still bare asphalt. Posted by: Beartooth at November 01, 2021 07:22 PM (d8xPm) 204

171, qdpsteve, Muddy mixes on album were the issue for a lot of top bands in the late 60's and early 70's. That was also made worse as record companies pumped out cheap vinyl in the States that made many bands recordings sound worse than they actually were. Then there was the weird MCA debacle in the 70's where it was rumored that MCA was ripping off their own artists making off the book copies of albums and selling them without royalties. Think some of the acts sued over it.

Nice thing about forming trees is they don't require much, if any, actual farm work.
Posted by: Weasel at November 01, 2021 07:15 PM (Q8Yx1) Yep. I was hoping there would be a large swath of pine that I could at least make a little from pulpwood, but not how it worked out (not why we bought the property but would have definitely been nice to have.) I can go in for a grant that would pay for most of the clearing and replanting for a patch of pine but only most. And then you have several years until the harvest.

Look up insofast kits for shipping containers.

whig, makes sense, but what's weird is that not every Dylan song has that foggy sound. It seems to be just Lay Lady Lay from 1969 and Knockin' On Heaven's Door from 1973. They sound to me as if they were recorded at the same session. Maybe the mastering came out weird? Who knows.
Another hit song that always sounded technically messed up to me, is the Moody Blues' earliest hit, Go Now. Sounds as if the engineer at the studio was drunk or something to me. Posted by: qdpsteve, ex-Hooters waitress at November 01, 2021 07:25 PM (L2ZTs) 233
Some time before I met him, my husband had a Percheron named Belle. Horse people thought she was a good looking horse. But she wouldn't bred. They took her out one time to be bred. He said she let go and hit the stud in the chest with both her back feet. Knocked him back a bit, but didn't cause him to lose interest. Never could figure out the issue and he wound up selling her.

Solar farms can be worthwhile. I have a buddy who just bought some 600ish acres in Texas (he raises rodeo bulls) and I think he's letting Texas Power put up about 40 acres worth of solar. It will be pay most of his land note.

Notsothoreau, yup.
Also there's overmodulation, that fart-like sound you used to get when you recorded a cassette tape and set the recording levels too high. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's been re-mastered and re-re-mastered over and over again, it sounds like, to get rid of most of the overmodulation, but still sounds weird. I once read the reason it's like that is because the original tape was accidentally destroyed by the record company and they had to use a bad-quality circa 1964 acetate to make the mastering tape.

A massive number of fireworks at the local baseball stadium tonight. They really let them rip. Haven't heard fireworks there for a long time. I used to hear concerts too, not loud, just a very distant trace of music from where I am. But no more. But these were the first fireworks I've heard for some time.

Also re Jimi Hendrix, there's a legend that he had the original master tape of "If 6 Was 9" with him for some reason, and left it in a taxicab. So the engineer, Eddie Kramer, had to use a not-so-great-quality backup copy for the record company to master from.

Look up insofast kits for shipping containers. Has the studs for drywall, cutouts for electrical and plumbing lines, etc. and is an easy DIY project to convert shipping containers into insulated living spaces. They are in N. or S. Dakota and sell online.
You might pay a visit to the local agri extension office to ask their opinion as to what to do regarding farming if you are interested. Posted by: whig at November 01, 2021 07:25 PM (9hXN1) I have checked out Insofast from your previous reco - looks very interesting the only problem is that there is not enough R value to make it up to code for Florida which if you want to sell it (and make it mortgagable and insurable) is important. Build for yourself out of pocket it's a pretty good timesaver. And yes the local ag extension is in my contact list.... Posted by: blaster at November 01, 2021 07:37 PM (mbFEM) 275

Qdpsteve,
A lot had to do with the studio equipment, the sound engineer, and how quickly songs were pushed out the door. Glyn Johns was one famous sound engineer that made clean recording of the Stones, the Who, and other brit groups. Kit Lambert, on the other hand, when producing Tommy had crappy sound of a great album. Listen to a cut off of Who's Next engineered by Johns and then one off of Tommy and you can hear the difference. The Beatles greatly benefited from George Martin at the Helm. You can tell the difference between his Abbey Road and Phil Spector's putting lipstick on a pig of a recording in Let It Be. Berry Gordy of MoTown was another recording genius of the era--with limited tracks, Gordy as producer achieved at least as good of depth of sound as Phil Spector in a lot of songs.

274 blaster, the trick on insofast is that you can actually glue additional insulation to its face to reach code on walls but don't remember what they do on ceilings. To avoid shrinking the inside though, it might suit to put mineral wool batts on the outside with some sort of termite resistant framing then conventional siding such as hardi plank or lp smartside.

My understanding of the Covid testing situation is that if you have insurance, the insurance gets billed, and if you don't have insurance, a government fund gets billed. And the reason why it takes forever to get a test in many places right now is that they're spending more time on this billing paperwork than they are doing the actual tests.

322 qdpsteve, that would explain why the Who did not use Johns to complete Quadrophenia as Pete and Keith were pretty much legless at the time. Pete ended up producing it himself and causing Entwistle indigestion over the original muddy mix that made it harder to hear Entwistle's exceptional bass playing on that album. Entwistle remastered it for the movie soundtrack of the same name.

My research (looking it up on the internet) was kind of inconclusive. There are a number of marketing companies that say they will pitch your property and negotiate a deal for a cut. And then there are those who say that's a waste of time the cell companies have it all figured out and if they need property they will contact you. Posted by: blaster at November 01, 2021 07:51 PM (mbFEM) Well, location is a big part of the equation, so letting them know that your property is available is important. Otherwise it's kind of like playing the lottery, without buying a ticket. Check LinkedIn for local tower company employees, find the salesmen, and ask how to proceed. I've done a lot of sales prospecting among tower companies for repair work in the past couple of years, so I'm kind of fishing in the same pond.

361 qdpsteve, Pete was alright financially as he kept the royalties from his music due to his parents' understanding of the music biz but the other three relied on concerts for their money during the 70's as litigation with former manager Kit Lambert dragged on over production royalties from Track Records. Then MCA was apparently cheating a lot of artists on royalties in the 70's which they later got sued for.

If I recall correctly, part of why Pete was so depressed that he started drinking heavily again was that he kept trying to top himself as a writer and felt he was failing and that he wanted to do different music to extend himself as a writer but felt honor bound to bandmates and fans to keep on with the Who (and probably a bit scared to go solo as well). On the other hand, they needed him literally financially and as the creative spark. Regarding touring on Quadrophenia, simply the band could not recreate what was on the album unlike Who's Next as the technology of the day simply was not up to the job. Their more traditional set was so ingrained that even drunk etc. they could soldier on and put on a creditable performance.
That is probably why the other bandmates gave him leeway to produce Who by Numbers which aside from Slip Kid is very un Who like which one reviewer called it a suicide note. Posted by: whig at November 01, 2021 08:19 PM (9hXN1) 402

No date set. They want to be married in our church, after the new, young pastor is installed. She wants something simple, and I know it's because her mom and stepdad can't really do anything big-ish.
I've offered to help her plan something small but lovely, as well as the reception they want. I never was able to have a daughter, so I hope she will accept my loving, enthusiastic help.

For the most part, I like particular songs or an album(s) by group but seldom their entire catalogue. As far as musicians, the question is whether they sync up with the rest of the band on a particular song or occasionally an album. But then again, I like songs in most music categories except perhaps opera and rap.

One year I boarded the boat, big ass ship, and you know how much cargo they carry. I boarded at 12 noon, and it was scheduled to leave the dock at 5pm. They got delayed because they drank the fucking ship dry..DRY... In 5 hours, so they had to resupply before leaving the port. The bands also have nowhere to go, so they hang with everybody and party.

I've been to a shit ton of metal shows; all of them after I became a middle-age dad and a white-collar guy. I've never had any kind of problem. metalheads love metal. Never have I seen any kind of violence. Hell, even the mosh pit has rules.

Have you ever seen Festival Express? Not your music but a pretty similar thing on a train trip through Canada. It's on Youtube. Posted by: JackStraw at November 01, 2021 09:07 PM (ZLI7S) 516
The bands also have nowhere to go, so they hang with everybody and party.

I got my hands slapped for that when playing piano for my music teacher. She taught strictly classical music but later mellowed a bit and let me play some of the more atonal 20th Century classical piano pieces at recitals but she absolutely hated boogie woogie.
Posted by: whig at November 01, 2021 09:03 PM (9hXN1) And boogie-woogie is a uniqely American form of piano music, although it has now spread across the entire world. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 01, 2021 09:08 PM (P3gRi) 518

513 Yep, I still enjoy a good keyboard artist of any sort, even the goofballs like Victor Borge, even though I gave up on it years ago.

>>that sounds interesting.
Give it a look sometime, One hell of a party. And we did know how to party. Posted by: JackStraw at November 01, 2021 09:12 PM (ZLI7S) 521
517, AOP, I agree. I pretty much like most music categories except opera singing or rap. It is also pretty fun to watch the BBC Proms from various performances over the years. Youtube has also brought out a lot of classic live performances that you used to pay good bucks for a bootleg lp copy back in the day.

apparently there is no Ringworld movie in the works, and this trailer is false.
In other news, I am disappointed, very disappointed. https://youtu.be/l28PPrdIiuI Posted by: Kindltot at November 01, 2021 09:13 PM (KbLYZ) 523
517, AOP, if you like boogie woogie, then you would also probably like Professor Longhair. Try the Rock and Roll Gumbo album with guitarist Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown sitting in. They even do the old Huey Smith Rockin Pneumonia cover along with Stagger Lee.

Victor Borge is someone who tried to "make it big" in classical music, had tepid success.
Then, he went in to comedy, and he was a real stitch. Especially when working with the soprano, coloratura. Posted by: The drummer at November 01, 2021 09:17 PM (3aQHd) 525
Here is a sample of the album, Professor Longhair playing his own composition Tipitina https://youtu.be/6dX2XAMwCYM

Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at November 01, 2021 09:07 PM (VwHCD) My life long friend, my brother, really, was on the cusp of making it. Dave Mustaine even approached him t a guitar shop. He also was acquainted with Mark Slaughter (was a fag, were his words). Before a series of strokes he was an outstanding guitarist. He lost the ability to know where his progressions went. Ended up selling all of his guitars. (I have two of them) But he also suffered from hard-core stage fright. Sucks. Because he really was an incredible metal guitarist. Posted by: Pug Mahon, Scary Leprechaun with a cudgel at November 01, 2021 09:17 PM (x8Wzq) 527
