I am detecting a subtle trend here...

I hurried to mow my lawn this afternoon in advance of the forecast thunderstorm and when I came inside and dialed up Lem's I saw several posts and comments about how marvelous bluegrass music is. I concur, as do Finns. What next, Kanye gonna say "Ima let you Finnish"? In this crazy mixed up, muddled up world anything is possible, right?

Here is an artist's rendition of me mowing:

Fortunately a video was recorded as I pulled into today's jam session:

We hope to avoid being hit by lightning.

This one's for me

I was hoping to be able to post this tune when Kim got an ICBM inserted into his, er, country, but the Chinese junk falling out of the sky works too.

I rarely go to the movies...

...but Troop's earlier post that included the word "Rocinante" got me to thinking about a movie I saw last year. Rocinante was Don Quixote's horse and, like a lot of us, he was a hard worker who kept on keeping on. Back in June I went to a nearby film festival and saw a movie entitled "Donkeyote". It too, was a simple tale of a man and his quadruped sidekicks who go on a journey that might be described by an outsider as being quixotic. It was very entertaining and not even a bit topical nor political - just a nice story with a couple of laughs, it has a donkey, a dog, a man, his wife and very few other humans. What could be better, right? Well, I enjoyed it.

Springtime in my backyard.

I will resist the urge to cut and paste any music from Man of La Mancha, that is too clichéd even for me. Rather I shall attach some music from here in the Flatt lands. It kind of relates to one crucial scene in the movie.

Music that makes you Scrugg your shoulders.
