Looks like we could use an open thread.
I don’t see anyone working on a post and nothing is scheduled, so here you go. I miss the old music threads.
I nearly titled this Late Night Open Thread but then I realized it’s only 8:30 pm in California, and that’s not late night at all.
Me, I’m headed for bed. What’s everybody else up to?

Just woke up myself, first cup of coffee, reading my morning internet. Still eagerly awaiting the Calendar A preview!

Okey-dokey then, some old music.

My work on Project Omicron is complete. I’ll check in once my freighter from South Africa drops me off at an undisclosed location on the East Coast.
Take care, everyone.

@Baud: Welcome back! (If I have correctly interpreted what you just said.)

Between a boss who will just not stop riding me and some shitty Internet tonight…I’m just glad I’m facing first world problems.
Lyrebird
@NotMax: Getting by with a little help from my friends here.

Watching 30 Rock, myself. Then reading A Desolation Called Peace, which if it’s anything like the previous book in the duology will be getting written up here…

Great song and the story of my life:

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: This case is a criminal lawsuit, but if it was a civil lawsuit the fact that the opposing party is entitled to a negative inference would be a practical reason for making the deponent take the fifth over and over. I have seen bank employee deposition testimony where “I invoke the Fifth Amendment” has been only answer for pages.
In a criminal case, though, it’s probably just what it sounds like.
Winston
@Laydeebe: cool

@NotMax: I think I had that record on 45 about 1958 when my mom bought me a record player (45 rpm) and let me pick out 4 records for my birthday. I was 11 years old.
Winston
@Winston: In my life Ronstadt was the best, Streisand and Celine were close. but there were so many great women that sang my heart out. Baez, Cher, Mitchell, Joplin, et al, back in the 60’s. 70’s. Loved the music back then. Been a nice 60 years of great stuff since Pat Boone and Roy Rogers.

Is this the most almost-perfect country song? Trains, Texas, grand parents, sack lunch, hitchhiking, obligatory trip to Mexico.

@Baud: When you return I hope you lie and say you missed us!
