R.CRUMB & HIS CHEAP SUIT SERENADERS (a link)

Listening to these guys is one of the best ways I know to pick myself up from a bitchey mood. My dad was into music from this era, so I suppose that is why I love it so much too......and this music is just so BIG FUN!

More Cowboys -"Riders In The Sky."

As much as I love this group's amazing entertainment skills and talent, I was completely shocked and extremely disappointed when I saw who/what they agreed to having their photo taken with. I sincerely hope it's not a sincere reflection of their true political affiliations. . . . .
but then again, I could never think that posing with these two clowns presented any sort of positive photo op for me. We can just keep our fingers crossed, and hope that this photo is just some bizarre cosmic joke on their part.
Let us pray.

Elephant's Memory - Touching Story

In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from
college. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull
elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed so Mbembe approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot, and found a
large thorn deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the thorn out with
his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern look on its
face, stared at him. For several tense moments Mbembe stood frozen,
thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant
trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.

Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty
years later he was walking through a zoo with his teenaged son. As they
approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing. The
large bull elephant stared at Mbembe and lifted its front foot off the
ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then
trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if
this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over
the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to
the elephant and stared back in wonder. Suddenly the elephant trumpeted
again, wrapped its trunk around one of the man's legs and swung him
wildly back and forth along the railing, killing him.



Probably wasn't the same elephant.
