I love you too Michael. Always will. Thank you so much for being a true friend. : )
Now I feel all mushy like the grass in the pasture...it is raining hard.
I am praying for you folks in Houston Jo...stay dry.
The creek in the back is really coming up....errr.
I am glad that you have your car running so you can escape.
Do you guys have a bug out bag ready to go at all times?

I have been thinking just a bit about what I want in friendships and relationships.
It seems to me that integrity just about covers it all.
Now facebook seems to be like a flood of information...that I just can't grasp.
It is way too fast and I think everyone agrees...no time for others.
I know that my sentences seem like a lead in to a paragraph...and they are.
I just can't seem to focus long enough to explain my entire feelings.
Or maybe I do but folks on F/B are traveling fast right past my lemonade stand.
So here I am ...in a forum separate from F/B...I appreciate that.
I am glad that my best bro is here on this forum...Jeffery Van Dyke.
I can feel his inner determination and it inspires me do do more.
I need good influences in my life...love you buddy...and thank you.

This flooding has me worried...actually that is my stresser for PTSD.
It does not make me cower in a corner...it makes me want to run out in the rain...
and scream at the sky...bring it on...is that all you got...flooding gets me angry.
O.K. ...short story.
Firing rounds at Beirut...plugs popped...trapped in an electrical room for 36 hours.
Water seeped in the room till it was into the transformer...that I was sitting on.
Anyway...
This makes me think of Kora...where did she go?
I used to think that she washed her laundry in the creek in San Antonio.
Then I found out that she was in Colorado...maybe washing laundry in the Platt River.
If she was the water could have carried her away...drowning is the #1 killer from Ma Nature!
Anyway if you know Kora more than I do I bet she flew off to Paris or something...to wait it out.
What is the name of this storm "Bill"? I thought storms were only named after females...
Come on Billy Boy...I am ready and waiting!

So back to the music....yeah.
My favorite rock and roll band is the Rolling Stones.
I think that everyone respects their longevity and integrity.
A solid band with not that many flareups or flameouts.
People compare the Beatles and claim to have seen Elvis too.
Folks...sorry to say...a lot of acts have left the house.
Not the Stones...the epitome of Rock and Roll!
And Western Music!

Jeff,
I agree with Michael 1000%...I'm so glad your here and that you are his brother. It's so awesome and you are such a keeper. : )
Michael,
I don't know what the weather has been like in Colorado. TS Bill was over Dallas this morning and we're just getting the tail end rain today. All in all it turned out to be a non-event for us. Rain but that was it. I'm thinking about Jane now because she's closer to Dallas. I'm imagine she's the wet one today.
Not that it's an issue now, but we aren't on the list of people who get to "bug out" when tropical storms and hurricanes come. After the evacuation mess with Rita, they rewrote it and only the folks on the coastal areas get to evacuate. If they try to evacuate more than that, people are trapped on the roads and it's a disaster for even more people. We're in a zip code that has to shelter in place.
I understand why rain and water can trigger stress and your PTSD. Be kind to yourself.
I really like the way you told the story of the song with the original artist, then and now and then with Taylor. That was nice, in all sorts of ways.

I was inspired today to write this...thanks to y'alls inspiration!
Where to start... Did you know that when vinyl records came out that they were made up of shellac and crushed rock? That didn't make for a very good medium for sound quality...as you may soon hear. Time went on and the quality of the recorded album became better with higher quality vinyl. I remember dad cooking my sisters Beatles albums on coffee cans in the oven to make flower pots. We tried to sell them for a dime at the flea market...I think we sold them all to a collector...probably for a quarter. Hey a quarter was worth about 22 cents then...that wasn't too bad for a pile of wax. Thankfully that idea was forgotten and a lot of vinyl lives on....and then. I can remember the first vinyl record that I bought...I think that it was a store next to Pomponio's Liquor store...maybe Albertsons. It was "Street Survivors" ...the next day I heard that Lynyrd Skynyrd had the plane crash...you all know the story. Whoops...there is a tangent! Just like that ....what happened to vinyl? Like overnight the physical vinyl became thin and then morphed into 12 inch platinum laser disks.... the same size as a 33 and 1/3 vinyl record album. To improve that... they went to a 2 inch disk and then finally to the C.D....the compact disk. You know...the one that was kicked out of the back door yesterday? Now everyone is online listening to crystal clear music of their choosing. It is so convenient...and perfect isn't it? We have lost something in all these translations...the ability to capture the spirit and soul of the artist.We now have perfect music without the mistakes. I can look at the scratches on my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd album...and say...hey I remember that time! So now as the rain keeps falling and the creek is at its bank I thought that this may be the perfect time to give myself a rest! How about a digital recording of an album that was made up of shellac and rock in the 20's.It captures the spirit of the time... I don't really know...it is just an artist that I read about in American Songwriter magazine...remember paper magazines? Anyway I must float...

Swift remains the country's top musical act!
Taylor Swift leads the Billboard Artist 100 (dated June 27) for a record-extending 29th week, remaining the top musical act in the U.S. Meanwhile, Muse roars onto the chart in the top five and Justin Bieber makes a big rebound.
The Artist 100 is the first weekly survey dedicated to measuring artist activity across Billboard's most influential charts, including the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, Top Album Sales and the Social 50. The Artist 100 blends data measuring album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
Taylor Swift's 1989 Tour Stays on Top of Hot Tours Tally
Swift stays atop the Artist 100, bolstered by a 9 percent gain in overall activity, according to Nielsen Music, while The Weekend rebounds to his best rank, jumping 5-2 (up 34 percent), as his new single "Can't Feel My Face" debuts at No. 24 on the Hot 100. Maroon 5 holds at No. 3 on the Artist 100.

Taylor Swift reigns atop Billboard’s Hot Tours tally for the second consecutive week with $15.2 million in ticket sales reported from the finals three stops on the first North American leg of her 1989 World Tour. (See list, below.) Performances at Charlotte’s Time Warner Cable Arena and PNC Arena in Raleigh round out the five arena dates during the three-week trek that began on May 20. She followed those sold out shows on June 8 and 9 with a two-night stand in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, the last U.S. engagement before heading to Europe.
Taylor Swift's 1989 Tour Has Earned $17 Million... And Counting
The pop singer has included the home stadium of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles on her past three tours, selling out five concerts in the venue. During the Speak Now tour in 2011, she packed the stadium on one August evening and returned two years later with her Red tour for two July performances. This year’s run on June 12 and 13 racked up more than $11.9 million in box office revenue from 101,052 sold seats.
With Vance Joy as special guest, along with Shawn Mendes on the stadium shows, Swift played for more than 279,000 fans at nine U.S. concerts promoted by AEG Live’s The Messina Group. All of the shows were sellouts, generating more than $32.1 million at the box office. Swift will kick off her six-city jaunt through Europe on June 19 and return for a second North American trek early in July.
