I will have to check that out. Jefferson Airplane is special to me because they were the first concert I went to see. Grace Slick was arrested after the concert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought of it as the generic version even though generic was not a word used in the 50’s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted August 8, 2021 #25338 Share Posted August 8, 2021 A few photos from today, from out in the yard. We have these occasionally growing in the mulch this year. Thanks to Google I have found out that they are “Mutinus elegans, commonly known as the elegant stinkhorn, the dog stinkhorn, the headless stinkhorn, or the devil's dipstick, which is a species of fungus in the Phallaceae family”. The “Devil’s Dipstick”…. makes me wonder where the Devil dipped it?🤪🤷♂️ Lucy supervised while I BBQed ribeyes tonight. She almost fell asleep. Local beef and corn. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted August 8, 2021 #25339 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) We spent some time later tonight coming up with a new lighting plan for the pool area. The plants have become so large that they are over taking the current landscaping and walkway lights. Lucy supervising some more. After we came in we sat to watch the end of the Jays game. I was sitting in my chair to hear a rustling on the window screen and we all looked up. There was an Owl looking in at us. None of us could get a photo quick enough but it was literally feet away from me. I made the comment, that he must have wanted to know if the Jays were winning. You know, birds of a feather stick together.😉 Then again, if he was a Boston fan it must be because of his bird brain. 😂 Edited August 8, 2021 by A&L_Ont 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted August 8, 2021 #25342 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Daddy's home! So much to respond to about music and records but I will not get into everything I love about music because I would writes many paragraphs.

taznremmy Posted August 8, 2021 #25343 Share Posted August 8, 2021 You will laugh, but my great memory of Jefferson Airplane came from their song, "Go Ask Alice". I had a cat at the time whose nickname was "Mouse", and she loved to ride in the car. We were driving North and this song was on the radio, and of course, I was singing along. "Mouse" was sleeping in my lap, and when the song came to the phrase, 'remember what the dormouse said', she lifted her head and mewed at me. Fifty years+ and that is still a strong memory for me. Thanks for the reminder and thanks for letting me share. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taznremmy Posted August 8, 2021 #25344 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I still have some old vinyl records, that are the size of a 45 but were actually 78's, and are different colors (mostly yellow). They were children's records. Don't know why I am still holding on to them. Yes, I am older than the majority of you, but you'd never know it! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted August 8, 2021 #25349 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Good afternoon everyone. It is currently 70°F sunny with an occasional shower. We were at church this morning and we sang 2 songs but everyone wore masks and social distancing was observed. We are sitting in our back garden now and going to have lunch shortly. Hopefully @sgmnSue's sons wedding was fantastic yesterday. I hope everyone has a nice day. Edited August 8, 2021 by grapau27 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted August 8, 2021 #25350 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Our persistent Robin has returned with a new nest and batch of eggs. She has evidently found the perfect, protected spot. This is the third nest this year, and the third batch of eggs. All so far have hatched and left the nest. Mama plans to go 3 for 3. Expected hatching in a couple weeks. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
