Erica Reacts - Discovering Bob Weir's "Looks Like Rain"

Ms, Reese is obviously a talented pianist,,,,but she breaks down as she starts to understand this song. I really enjoyed watching her work this,

We're going to lose our Aerospace sector.

Trump's tariffs on aluminum is a big problem for every Aerospace US manufacturer. Everyone produces 6000 series aluminum,,,,easy to work/extrude. But Canada has other markets for their 2000 series aluminum. Difficult to produce and engineered into almost every aircraft aluminum component. Boeing is thinking about about future profitability. They may end up manufacturing in Canada, just to get the aircraft aluminum that they need.

Automotive soon to follow. Trump is making us MASA....Making America a Shithole Again.

Burt and I

I met Marshall Dodge in 1975. I was a service manager for Electrolux Sales (Preble ST. Portland, Me) in 1975. Out of school and wondering what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Marshall came into the store and said, "can you fix this poor bastard?". It was a model G Electrolux vac. The best vac machine ever made. IMHO. Of course I could! So, I get his details and I see "Marshall Dodge". I looked at him and I asked. " Did you and Bert every find your way to Cape Porpoise.?" He laughed.

I dunno, this band filled my head with beautiful musical noise. Still enjoying it 50+ years later....

Perhaps the Pink Floyd of American musical culture in this moment.

This is getting to be a typical daily experience.

I've been putting out a few pounds of apple-infused corn (whatever that is) and I have a 1/2 dozen deer that are showing up daily to eat...then, when they've vacuumed up all of the corn, they proceed to the birdfeeder stump. The Skippa knows when they show up, but he's getting better about not not barking. He sits and watched them out of the glass front door.
