There was no way I was going to do this for myself except when I had to for VA but Toby the Dog has no chow and that's not an acceptable situation.
Ed: get Yevette to do it!
Oh, sure. It won't be cold for her (larfs). Besides I've never made anyone do anything.
My favorite time to go supermarket shopping has been at three in the morning because the place will usually be deserted and it gets to be kind of a lark. Wal-Mart doesn't open until six a.m. so the middle of the night is out but six a.m. or near to it is when I usually feed Toby the Dog. I get an almighty case of pet guilt if they don't have their chow. That's not acceptable either.
So I shall sally forth but ...
Ed: first to bitch about it a bit?
Sure. I have half an hour to kill. The object really isn't to bitch but to footle about a little.
Note: footle means to talk in a silly or nonsense way. I suspect you may have a zillion or so applications for it.
Ed: are you stoned?
Nah, Father Christmas is lost in the mist. He's probably drunk with Rudolph again.
Ed: that was SO Christmas!
Sure, it is. Lotho and I went to see Jethro Tull in Louisville a million years ago and were diggin' it so much there was only one answer: they're playing in Cincinnati tomorrow night. Let's see them again.
This makes perfect sense when the tickets were about ten bucks a pop so on with the show.
We were stunned to see the show was identical, note for note, step for step.
"Aqualung" was one of the first in AOR (i.e. Album-Oriented Rock) since the emphasis prior to that had been on recording a series of songs for a record but they didn't necessarily have any bearing on each other. There wasn't the freedom to treat their music in that modular way so Tull did it all, step by step.
It was magnificent. At the time I was somewhat chagrined at the identical shows but welcome to professional music. I get bored with my own music after I've played it a few times so it needs to be chucked out for something else. There's no despair in that, it's just a different way to approach it.

The memories arent gone yet as I believe Wild Turkey was the opening band.
In relation to one of your tweets (I have tweeting ability), heroin OD deaths officially surpassed gun deaths this year.
Hopefully the money that Obama earmarked recently will trickle down to the people who need it and not just get wasted by agencies studying thr problem.
MayBE they can relax the regulations for halfway/treatment houses. The need is HUGE and the redtape ridiculous.
I remember them for one of the most ferocious guitar duels I ever saw on stage.
I saw that about the deaths from opiates and I also saw a third of people taking prescribed opiates end up addicted to them.
You already know my contempt for Obama's policies but still there's hope as I know people on Medicare who cannot afford their prescriptions and therefore skip them.
I may agree with Trump on tearing down Medicare but I don't agree with privatization. In my view, it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up to chuck all the amateurish tinkering which has been done over the years by both sides.
If the privatization is connected to a oversight board that makes the medical decisions then it would be fine.
I havent seen a goverment run hospital that is worth a damn but letting profit determine medical decision is scary
I've seen scary with cancer patients fighting for coverage after medical insurance denied payment for a procedure. No need for the editorial since you know it already. That England has made such a mess out of socialized medicine with NHS really doesn't bother me since they don't get much else right either and the Royal Navy is disintegrating. Most of the world has socialized medicine and it's not burying them. I just don't want the extra costs of a profit center, etc as we see blatantly from Big Pharma, Martin Shkreli, EpiPen girl, etc.
On another note, I saw today how Trump was blasting the CIA over this crap about Russian interference so maybe he's not a stooge like Obama. It's a huge maybe but it's the hope.
I watched the Australian version of socialized medicine during our martial arts tournaments there. Is was very scary. And the two patients we took there were given elevated care as they were paying through thier US insurance.
There's got to be a way which gets medical care to everyone as Yevette is in for over two grand for a single tooth implant and I just can't see any rightness in that. Dental care isn't free with NHS either but I'm not familiar with how it goes in other socialized medicine situations.
