Minnesotans may be a thing of the past.
Yesterday, my phone read, " Winter Weather Advisory may impact travel times." This was eight hours before the snow was predicted to start falling. Two inches over night became a major news story this morning. It was a cool fluffy snow (19°F). Several inches would have been great fun to run through with my wool stocking clad feet.

Was it fresh squeezed lol. I tried to get into the powdered form, and it tasted exactly like I would think dirt would taste like if you mixed it with water lol.

I'm not sure how fresh it was as it was in a sealed bottle which probably spent some time sitting on a shelf in a store lol.

Christmas in the San Joaquin means things are still green and in flower.

50+ years ago, I learned some guitar in school, but really I was just the lowly double bass player in a Be-bop group.

Yeah, it was that long ago…
Pizzicato Be-bop on the school’s giant stand-up bull fiddle. (I could not afford to own one, And who would want to keep that thing at home and carry it around anyway?)

I had a $30 Sears Silvertone flat top, and a goofy electric guitar that I built out of junk guitars myself. Those are lost to history, but eventually I bought three more over 5 decades.

I have only played a little since the 70s, & just my guitars. No bass.

However, Fellows, I have bought myself 7 more guitars since Christmas.

I’m converting my excess cash to hard goods before this massive inflation kills me here.

Plus I like guitars. I’ve owned only these 3 for years:
The ‘65 Gibson


The 1970 Aria


The 1998 Avilla
