Damn, Jim. This just popped into my head, and I thought about you.

I remembered you calling me on Thanksgiving, a couple, maybe three years ago. I think that I was at some podunk diner bringing a truck driver home after dropping his semi off at a repair shop in Ft. Recovery, Ohio.

I was surprised, nobody ever calls me on holidays. It meant a lot to me hearing from a friend.

My passenger got his wife a couple of overly expensive pies from the little diner in the middle of nowhere. I got him home safely and went home.

I've been so many places, it might've been a couple of other guys. Who knows?

Whatever, my mind is a funny, if not tragic place.

Thanks.

That's a great tune. Great message with a great twist at the end.

I really enjoyed your videos last night. Have any more like those?

Probably, but I've gotta be a special kind of depressed to get in the mood to post music videos.

Day ain't over, and I haven't looked at the news much yet.

I went home with a waitress, the way I always do...

How was I to know, she was with the Russians too?

I guess my older sister is pretty banged up. Broken pelvis, head split open, etc. Don't know much more.

Dad, get me out of this.

Maybe I'm overreacting. It is hot today. The artillery barrage started early today too.

"Hey kids! It's a balmy 95 degrees here in the Fort at WSUX Radio! The humidity is only 90% on your way back to work. Here's a happy little ditty from the request lines! Try not to melt, PacMan!"

I knew an old boy who was in Navy during WW II. He was in UDT. He told me one time he got drunk on Vanilla extract in South Pacific. He would never eat vanilla ice cream. LOL

That's hardcore. I just looked at my bottle, apparently it's 41% alcohol (82 proof).

Only people that free base coke.

I had a female room mate who was doing that. I told her if she brought that pipe back into the house I would break it and sink it in the pond out back.

She brought it back in and I did what I said I would. ;)
