The Columbus Day storm was in 1962 and had winds up to 170mph. More than 60 years later, there are still vestiges and artifacts of the damage!

Extra points for the Red Green quote. I’d hate to be on a bus in a tornado! Sides like sails, no seatbelts, and a hundred things to get banged on or wrapped around, including other people. It would be like being a popcorn kernel in an air popper!

Yeah, doesn’t say what constitutes a tornado. Any funnel cloud the touches ground? Most of the ones that happen in Oregon are out in the literal middle of nowhere and we probably actually get more than 3 but they’re never spotted. It also says Hawaii gets one a year. Can’t remember ever hearing about a tornado in Hawaii!

Holy wow! So glad you’re ok! And apparently in good humor. “Major for high sticking” LMAO!! Scary stuff. We had one spotted here in Oregon last week which is about as rare as a snowball fight in hell.

I had a four-hour drive and Pink Floyd is usually my go-to road music in-between MLT. Also listened to The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Division Bell. 😀

Huh. Just listened to that album yesterday.

LOL

Wow, Jacki. I have no words for that. It’s bizarre, it’s scary, it’s wonderful, and I LOVE IT. I’m so happy the surgery went well.

Captain Grammar has been defeated by his nemesis, Captain Spelling. ROFL. And no, it’s never too early for June!

Wow Tim. Sounds just like me. I don’t play guitar; I play with it.

“the illusion of reality…” I love that!

I don’t know about Vancouver, but down here in Portland we never had winter. In the metro area it never once froze all winter long, although we did have a few (literally a few) flakes of snow that melted instantly on contact. Ironically, on the first day of Spring, it froze. Just barely, but still. The flooding has been crazy here, too…

Just a drive-by login to wish the most marvelous musical magician and Wagner patriarch a most wonderful birthday!

Wow. I hadn’t heard of Natasha guitars before, but he made me a fan.

That’s insane! I’m so glad they were there when they were.

If you want it to be a surprise gift you could try asking Michaela to do some “recon” for you.

ROFL!

Yes and it’s very hard to autograph an mp3. lol

We did Chicago in our theater in Panama back around ’89 and I won the award for best lighting design for any military production that year. Kind of like the military version of a Tony. That was cool. I’m glad you like the movie. I particularly liked John C. Reily’s performance as Amos aka Mr. Cellophane.

I was just reading about that yesterday and since my current Blu-ray player is getting wonky and I’m looking for a new one, I’ll definitely get one that can rip SACDs.

I went to watch the video you linked and the professional news anchor, whose job is English communication, didn’t even get through the first sentence without a basic grammar…

Happy Birthday Jacki! I hope the day brings you as much joy as you bring to the MLT club!

Wow, that is funny! And bizarre.

Got mine today. Just thinking about them signing that many cards make my fingers ache with sympathy and this card just that much more special.

There are lots of songs to be culled from livestreams. Most of which I already have. 😀 But since those aren’t official, I didn’t mention them. They’re neither polished or ready for release, but of course we hardcore fans find them fun to listen to nonetheless. They would have to completely re-record them before they could be put on an album.

I had already joked elsewhere about calling it “The MonaLisa Twins play….More” LOL

Interesting. But #1 and #2 don’t really count. Those were’t autographs, they were signed copies of the emancipation proclamation and the acts of congress. It was the documents themselves that made those so valuable. So for my money, John wins!

Oops. Right you are! Thanks for the correction!

Wow! That’s some incredible knitting! Nothing like the combination of yarn and strings. 😀

So it was talked about in the livestream today, and I’m putting it here for posterity and reference. By my reckoning there are 12 songs that are ready to be “albumized.”

Daydream Believer
Getting Better
Good Morning Starshine
Helplessly Hoping
Here, There, and Everywhere
Lola
Now and Then
Nowhere Man
Starman
Till There Was You
Time in a Bottle

They do have links. The name links to the profile, and the word “upvote” is a link to the specific comment that was upvoted. Do you have hyperlinks disabled in your email reader?
